Why Do Men Stick Their Hand(s) Down Their Pants?
Last night, after dinner and doing dishes, my fiance decided to watch a few episodes of South Park. I can't stand most of the content being used in this idiotic show, so I was on my computer watching series of my downloaded Korean programs. Then the T.V. was devoid of annoying Eric Cartman's voice or Kenny's muffles. I look over and the episode has ended and our menu was up with the option of replaying the episode (HELL NO).The only way I know my fiance has fallen asleep during an episode of South Park is when it has ended and he hasn't pressed "next episode" to view. I look over and he had fallen asleep. His arm bent over his head, right leg reflecting his arm, lightly snoring and his right hand down his shorts...?
The first time I've EVER seen this act was an early episode of "Married with Children" when Al Bundy would always sit in front of the television with his hand in his pants and it's going to stay there. I thought it was for a gimmick related thing. I thought, it's an unhappily married, balding American man thing. But no, I think men EVERYWHERE at one point exhibits this action as a way to comfort to their tired and stressing minds...?
I don't know. I asked him why he does it and he replied, "it's warm." Then why not wear pants and not shorts, don't keep the fan on and wear socks? To which he replied, "You don't understand. It's a guy thing."
Is it, really?
Why in the world do men feel the constant need to have their hand down their shorts/pants/sweats, you name it? Is it warm? Do you need to check if you have all your "package" in place? Are you holding it in your sleep as well?

To adjust their balls.
Hahaha, my boyfriend does this all the time. Anytime he is watching TV, relaxing, or in bed, one of his hands is always cradling his balls. I'm pretty sure it's just a guy thing.
I read the title as "Why do men stick their hands down MY pants?" and was thinking "Giiiirl, don't complain! Go with it!" haha.
I have no idea why they always have their hands down their pants. I can't remember the last time I was caught with my hand down mine. :soh chicks dont act like we wouldn't play with it if we had one...
You don't even realise you're doing it most of the time. It just happens. Like magnetic attraction between your hands and your balls. Maybe it's a protective thing.
Just happens. We're born that way.
It really is warm.
Castration anxiety.
@Murphy_Rants@xanga - lol!
lollllllll i do this also but im not a guy. my mom does it too. i dont know why, i feel secure for some reason -_-
I do it, and I'm a girl. Idk, I'll be relaxing and i'll just stick my hand in my pants :P Usually it's more towards the hip area... but I don't know, it's not a big deal lol I have a girl friend who does it too
My dad and brother do the same thing but they lay on their side and are touching their butts. I have asked the same question. "Why are your hands down your pants?"
And I got the same answer..."It's warm."
Ok then..............
I do this and I'm not a dude.
I don't think that men do it to touch anything. My boyfriend does it, same reason as your fiance, because "It's warm." He doesn't play with his dick and balls. He just keeps his hands down his pants... It's nothing sexual. Plus, he added, it's the most comfortable thing ever.
O_o
I guess it is a guy thing because I can't imagine putting my hands down my pants for any reason that wasn't sexual. lol
LOL! Men usually have to do that because their junk itches. My fiance will scratch his balls, openly, and sometimes I say, "Want me to itch that for you?" as a joke
I'll keep my hands between my thighs to keep my hands warm but it is only from the outside of my pants. sometimes I do this when I'm sleeping because the blanket isn't enough to keep my hands warm and I sleep with two blankets during the winter, but later I found my gloves, so that works, too, but then it gets too hot
it is for extra warmth and comfort for either gender.
First, Southpark is brilliant. Second, I used to this all the time. It is a sign of sexual frustration :P
it feels good, that's what I was told, and Southpark is a great show, have you ever really watched an episode???
my brother does that a lot!
my guy just tells me that it's because they need to adjust their balls
I can't say I know any men who openly put their hands down their pants. The men I used to know who did it don't do it any more, or at least make any 'adjustments' discretely, as do I, without putting hands down one's pants
. I guess a female analogy would be a woman fixing up her bra, which I see from time to time, and both sexes removing a wedgie from their butt crack. If its an regular itching causing the behaviour, I think that may suggest something gross 
.
My bf doesn't do this..nor do I remember any of the guys I've dated doing this.
My ex did this a lot, never bothered me 'cause whenever I questionned him about this stuff, he'd just tell me I wouldn't understand unless I was a guy. My hands are on other places of my body to keep warm, sometimes on the back of my neck, in front of my face, pockets etc. it really depends on the person.
southpark is not idiotic. stfu.
@MzBrownEyez - I've only really seen a couple out of a SEASON worth of South Park that was truly funny. But most of them are really quite stupid. Hey, to each his/her own. Sometimes, I do laugh with him, but most of time, Eric Cartmen's voice really grates my ears. And why do they almost always kill Kenny??
@nj - if you feel that it's not idiotic, congrats! that's the kind of show that amuses you. It is idiotic to me. so you stfu.
@xx_ng_xx@xanga - how many times in a day is "a lot?" hahaha maybe your brother wants to make sure it's still there...? my fiance does it a lot more often when he's drinking. I don't know why...ahah
@bwoodward - AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA your comment made me laugh and almost choke on my soup during lunch.
Well, I didn't know women did it too so I guess I learned something today. Thanks for your insight and comments folks!
