[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has been so much talk about men's penises / testicles this Olympics. At one point it was the top two stories on TMZ  - one about how big one of the divers looked into his speedo and one about an athlete )not sure what sport) and how his outfit was a bit see through and you could make out his genitals.

Then the story about the pole vaulter and also I saw a commenter joking about the track guys getting excited and the adrenaline causing them semi erections and how you could see it.

Its weird to me, and creepy. As a woman, I really wouldn't want that much scrutiny of the cameras and commenters zeroing in on my genitals to see what they could see and then commenting on it. I am sure most men would also prefer to not have their genitals focused on while competing at the Olympics.[/quote]

+1 Perhaps men are more amused by the d**k jokes and just find it funny. But I'm a woman and the idea of people talking about my genitals or seeing my genitals while I'm trying to do my job (on global television) is really horrifying to me. It feels invasive.

I am really amazed at how skimpy some of the uniforms they wear are. Both men and women. So many women compete in track and field in basically underwear and a bra top. I get that they are sweating and don't want drag so it's just practical. But if it were me I'd be wearing the shorts instead of the little underwear just to ensure there is not chance of a wardrobe malfunction.

I was also watching diving yesterday and there was a kid who was like 16 diving and their swimsuits are so teeny tiny and I kept thinking about whether there's any embarrassment at that age over how naked they are. I'm sure older divers are just over it and don't think about it really but 16 is such a self-conscious age for most kids![/quote]
It wouldn't be so embarrassing if everyone around you does it. It's part of their scene.[/quote]
