Here's Why Men Keep the Hands Down Their Pants

It's a feeling of security. It's the warmth we so desperately need now that we've been cast away from the womb. It's that breast we can no longer suckle on. It's the comfort in knowing we are indeed still men.But mostly it just feels good.
Women often wonder about the fascination men have with putting a hand down their long johns and just cupping those manly, sometimes intricately varicose veined balls. It's not as complicated as they may think, but it's difficult for them to truly understand. As children, it's common for males to play with their very first toy guns, and a habit begins to form at that early age.
It's the result of being able to control our limbs for the first time and curiosity. There's this foreign object just dangling before us, so what do you expect a guy to do? A child's first instinct is to start tuggingon things such as ears, and yes, the penis. We also like peeing on various things as infants (such as mom's face), but luckily for most women, it doesn't develop into a fetish later on. That habit dies harder than a "stiffy" after discovering unshaven boob hair.
As we mature and grow, it simply becomes an attachment. It feels good and there's a sense of security that comes with being in control of your genitals. It's like you're the key holder to the kingdom's riches and only those whom you decide to allow in are welcome (in reality, this never happens because we're putting it in everyone's faces when given the opportunity). There's this sense of relaxation and peace. It's almost zen-like.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to slip my hands a bit further down from the keyboard to give you a better analysis....
Ahh, yes.
It mostly just feels good.
It's not like masturbation at all, and in almost every case, a guy is either cupping his own balls or simply holding on to the shaft. I'm going to theorize that the reason why it feels so good is because when we're pretend-checking for testicular cancer, we lift the scrotum as well as testicles upwards and closer to the body, which simulates what normally happens right before ejaculation. As you can imagine, it's a pleasant feeling.
Another cause for the shifting of our testicles and scrotum has to do with temperature. It's more common for a man to shuffle his hands in the right spots during the winter because as temperatures dip, the testicles move closer to the body for added warmth. The reason why the testicles are even outside of the body is because the heat we produce is too high. When it's warm out, you can expect the testicles to drop low which is why I imagine men complain about their balls sticking to the side of their legs in hot weather. Protip: Don't wear short shorts.
The explanation is very simple, but it always goes back to the way our genitals function under varying conditions. Women, don't go assuming that we're just perverted, heartless bastards, who would rather keep our hands on our dick and balls than around your waist or in your meaty pleasure caverns. It's how we function, just like most women are prone to peeing more often. It simply is, and there's data to back it up. Oho!
The next time your boyfriend is entertained by his own balls, you'll know why and laugh at yourself for ever thinking he was being infantile....
Wait.
Who cares when it just feels good?
What do you think about us guys and our habit? Does it bother you? Have you learned anything today? Do you cup your boyfriend's sack?

I put my hands in my pants but I don't sit there and play/fondle with my testicles. Is that what's happening when other guys do it!?
Oh man...I'm the worst male ever.
@Lordv16@xanga - Not that I'm aware of aside from giving the balls a lift, hah.
As I said before, I don't even realise I'm doing it most of the time. It just ...happens.
@Grtt@xanga - Yep, that happens as well. It becomes a habit and starts to happen subconsciously because we've been doing it since our baby days. But behind that, there's a desire to want to feel good and comfortable with ourselves.
Uh, I put my hands down my pants for comfort (when I'm at home chilling by myself) and I don't have balls or a dick to tug on, so, your theory is flawed.
I'm a woman and sometimes I notice my hands in my pants. The lady bits are so warm I swear you could fry an egg. My hands get cold, sheesh. I call it being resourceful.
@thisiswhereItellyoueverything@xanga - So, this is where another question forms. Since a woman asks why a man put their hand down there and AsylumBlue gave a reason, now's the time for a woman to explain why she puts her hand down there...if we don't know already. Heh! Fair is only fair, right?
Lol I think it's cute when guys do that (:
and I love cupping my bf's... so, s'all good
it looks like a wrinkled peach seed. I don't see anything that gross about it. it is similar to adjusting a wedgie to get more comfortable if the balls are sticky or getting too hot/cold. just do your thing
@thisiswhereItellyoueverything@xanga - I'm with Skye; write up a post about detailing why women do it. :p
@mynameisblueskye@xanga - Cause it's comfortable as hell? Besides, if someone's choosing between groping a vagina and groping some balls, clearly gotta go with the vagina, amirite or amirite?
@AsylumBlue - I don't know if I'm invested enough to write an entire post about it :/Weird. My bf never does this.
You really are a modern day poet. If anyone ever asks me why, I will direct them here. B-r-i-l-l-i-a-n-t :D
my guy said the same thing
I usually keep my hands in my pockets. And the time I do put a hand down my pants is when I need to readjust. It's uncomfortable sitting that as your penis is bent in a direction that it's not supposed to be bent.
LOL
haha, i never see guys do that!
but if it's cold, or if i'm really comfy i put my hands in my pants when i curl up in a ball. and from what i know most girls do.
ok.
pockets. i put my hands in my pockets when my hands are cold. generally, i don't think i'll stick them in my pants. but this answers my entry in questioning WHY men do stick their hands in their pants.
thanks!
I give 1 prop not 2 for not having this common issue completely address in all faucets. I've had a few boyfriends over the years, some young(20s) and some older(30s). I have noticed that only two of them ever had the "must always hold/play with my testicles" thing. Both were younger and bother were rather immature in more than just this instance. The 1st guy only did it in private and, albeit often, wasn't ALL the time, easy to understand as I, being a woman, have unexpectedly on occassion found myself with a hand down the pants or even up my shirt...simple comfort, pleasure, curiousity,etc. Totally understand.
However, the 2nd guy...ALWAYS playing with himself. His hands were not just down his pants in that "comfortable spot" way, but always playing with his own dick. He had no qualms about blantantly tugging on it in front of ppl at small social gatherings. Anytime he was sitting, whether it be just in my car on a short drive (literally 3 seconds into the drive, not even enough time to get bored) or on a couch at home or at a friends house, he was chronically playing/tugging/groping, and USUALLY to the point of a 60% erection. Even my friend's kid (a 5yr oldboy) stopping and looking confused, asked him what he was doing and why Uncle Soandso always had his hand down his pants. Even his newphew (11yrs old) thought it was weird. So what's the deal?
I know how most guys do it out of comfort, but some guys do it for more than just that, obviously sometimes (60% erection status!) turning themselves on while doing so, and furthermore, why the hell would they feel it's OK to do it in inappropriate situations (anywhere not in private/at home/with gf/etc.)?!?!
