All you exercise buffs (guys, anyhow).
Any of you ever in your entire lives blow-dry your 'nads?
Every time I shower at the gym there's inevitably some guy with his legs wide apart with the dryer doing his thing.
Cracks me up.
Is there a sensible reason for this, or does it just feel gooooooood?

Too embarassed to try it in a public setting, and don't have a dryer at home.

Shucks.
Thanks for letting the topic past the censors.
Yes, it was an honest question. Sure it could be interpretted in all sorts of sexual ways, but it's something I've seen in more than one gym, many times- always Korean.

I'll be sure never to accidentally touch the outtake on the dryer the next time I wash my hands. Yuch.

I'd be afraid of getting a 3rd degree burn!

Oh.. and to the original poster...

The ah.. majority of Korean Men let their jungle grow wild and free.. leading to a monster of a mess down there.

So its like asking.. if you have a lot of hair on your head, would you be satisfied with a towel dry? Or would you blow dry it?

Obviously this fellow didn't want to feel soggy.

Done it many times myself, see nothing wrong with it. Just trying to get dry, nothing perverse at all.

You people never cease to amaze me. I guess unlike the rest of you clowns, my immediate goal after working out is to get the hell outta there asap. Even though standing around with a group of naked korean men blow drying my short and curlys sounds like a luring proposition, I think I will opt for a good old fashioned towel dry -- call me crazy.

Part of it too is that all of these guys have the exploded turantula look going downstairs, whereas Sparkx prunes the shubbery on a weekly basis.

I never prune either. I also do occasionally use the blow dryer for drying my pubes as well as chest, armpit and head. One thing that annoys me is that the gym only has hand towels. Nothing you can wrap around yourself. One day I saw an old guy trotting around the locker room with the towel around his front and holding it with both hands around the back. The gym I go to has a swimming pool and it seems that these days (I guess becasue it is vacation) it is crammed with kids. They always do a double take when they see me coming toward the showers. I always find that funny. I never get a hello either. Just a lot of stares and whispers. Then they go right back to running around and splashing water on each other and screaming at the top of their lungs. That's what always gets me. The screaming. Very Happy

The last time I went to the pool, I had everyone staring at the one eyed trouser snake.

I mean, it's a beautiful bit of anatomy, but people, discretion please....

in korean gyms these hair dryers are 'special' hair dryers. like an electric drill they are reversible. it's written in korean, so fumble around for the 'warm vacuum' mode. when in rome....

Am I to understand from this that you [i]trim[/i]? And that you are under the impression that most Western Men do the same? Shocked

I find that uproariously funny. I must say, though, that it's something I have honestly never discussed with anyone, and I had thought I'd discussed it all in my time.

People? A poll?[/quote]

I'm glad there's someone else out there who thinks this is an odd idea. I've never discussed this with my male friends, but i'm pretty sure that none of them has ever used sissors or shears anywhere near that region.
