Ok, I'm just gonna ask....

I always adjust both sporran and apron, when I stand up. Sometimes the sporran is on my hip, sometimes on my lap. Everything gets smoothed and straightened and anything that needs to get smoothed and straightened - well, it gets smoothed and straightened. Just part of a standing up ritual.

Yeah, the sporran should pretty much be right over the area in question.
In Scotland we say 'A sporran covers a multitude of sins.'

This of course presumes that one does not require a 4" military rise (or more) to cover said ... multitude. Such a condition might lead one to wear a day plaid at all times. Or not.

I thought that's why one of the answers to THE QUESTION was "Nothing is worn. Everything is in working order".

Many of us do not wear a sporran. I personally wouldn't like one banging against my favorite parts.

A change of mindset may be in order for you. Appreciate and accept your blessings. Not all have them.

If that is no consolation to you then just remember: The wind does not blow all day neither does the sun shine. So how can it be for a man?

As young men we find that such conditions can arise from our parasympathic nerves - with no untoward thoughts present. Course, we also may have appreciative thoughts.

May depend on who you are with, "Honey - look - I think I love you" No shame in Nature's gifts. Or as a friend says, "God invented it, there's no shame."

For purposes of social decorum, I'm not sure your condition would be that noticeable. The underapron and apron of of a 16 ounce wool kilt is gonna provide substantial resistance even without a sporran.

Surely some of our younger board members can experiment and report back...?

This gave me quite the belly laugh! Not sure this would go over well with ALL spouses or significant others! haha

Amen to the above dwg aged 61 lol

At my age the question does not arise!! ,Ican never remember this being a problem even when I was young always wore a sporran however

[BEEDEE]

I work at a community college with lots of young co-eds. To prevent any possiblity of embaresment on either side I choose to wear underwear. Going regimenetal, IMO is not an absolute requirement for kilt wearing.

As a side note, I thought that perhaps the this might be a function of the sporran but if the sporran is worn (i believe) four finger lengths below the natural waist, it doesn't really fully address the issue, as it were...

Oh, Now he's bragging!

Ah to be young and the cares of the world weighing so heavily on one's shoulders. When this thread has run its course, SoulFyre, print it and place it in a time-vault set for, say, forty-five years. Open it then, smile, and say with fondness "I remember when...."
