A Very Sensitive Subject Among Men

Summer is coming, and it is getting much hotter here in SoCal so the time has come to revive this oh so glorious thread.

I sleep on my side with my legs closed, a la the fetal position, and man is it getting hot down there. My wife recently put a soaked rag with water and lotion in the fridge for me to wipe down the crotchal region before bed. It's glorious. For all those men out there suffering with excessive heat down there, either now or in the long summer ahead - try it.
 
I fall asleep every night on my back with my cat between my legs, as though I'm birthing her. It's a new habit, one that I hope stops before it gets too warm.

I learned something new from this thread. We can bombard banned users with "likes". I wonder if that would reinstate or reanimate them, like Adult Swim did for Family Guy.

Powder never worked for me. I'd start sweating and it would just clump up into little powder balls. Then I'd start chaffing down there and that's when it starts to suck. I got turned on to this stuff called Sween Cream that covers the area and lubricates your legs so that you don't end up raw down there. I use it everyday after I get out of the shower. Stuff is magical!
I used to have the chaffing when using the stepper at the gym and yes, I found putting some lotion on was better than the powder. But for just sopping up everyday sweat powder is pretty good. Tasty has the method down - cupped hand, shake-n-bake the chicken.

As strange as it might sound, for chaffing issues while hiking, exercising, running, what have you; get pantyhose. Cut them off like boxers. No more chaffing.

I can believe it....smoothest, tight-fitting running shorts are much better than loose ones. The computer-controlled stepper set to 11 on the rough-terrain pattern always seems to bring out the worst in that regard. You shouldn't have to suffer nad-rash in your final moments.

Why can't you just wear the standard bike shorts for this? Why must it be pantyhose? The whole point is to avoid the skin rub on rub, and the smooth satinyness of those would do the job better than pantyhose IMO.

You can. But the pantyhose are thin and provide the same protection. So you can wear them under other shorts or pants with ease and comfort. This really worked for me when I served in the Army. Fifteen mile hikes in full gear...

Also, the hose are more breathable then standard biking / spandex type shorts
