Alright lads, I've looked through the forums at length to no avail on the answer to a question such as this. We've talked about a few touchy subjects in the past from advantages of regimental kilt-wearing to ways to use a urinal easiest with notation and commentary on 'odd' side-effects and even preferences for bathroom stall usage. I trust in the gentlemanly conduct of (most of ) our rabble to approach this subject with an appropriate level of maturity. Mods, though I will try my best to keep this PG, feel free to edit as needed.

*clears throat*

I'm sure that all of us guys can relate to finding ourselves in a compromising situation after getting a bit TOO relaxed while sitting down and realising that you wouldn't be able to stand up without exposing the current physical 'state of affairs'. In pants, this problem is one you typically learn to deal with as you progress through puberty and never think twice about it. We all have our own 'tricks' to get out of possibly embarrassing situations. However, being that for most of us, kiltwearing is a learned thing, that sort of 'second nature' about such is not so apparent.

So my question is just this: As one who has never worn a true kilt, I've often wondered, "How does one deal with situations in a kilt where one's 'state of affairs' would be quite obvious to all onlookers were he wearing pants? Or to say it differently, does one truly 'tilt his kilt' and if so, is there a standard for preventing embarrassment?" This question might be rather obvious to most of you but as a soon-to-be new kilt-wearer, this question has come to mind more than once.

Again, let's try to keep this civil... I did not start this thread to send everyone back to grade 6. Otherwise, all input is appreciated!
