I use to think about this a lot, and would constantly try to fix it - trying to look like I wasn’t just playing with my dick while doing it.

But now that I’m older I realise most people know clothes do this, and that it doesn’t really look like a boner anyway. And people generally aren’t looking at me wondering if I’ve got a boner, and they probably don’t care if I do unless I’m also staring at them or something. … So now I just worry about accidentally staring at people. (And my eyesight isn’t great, so it isn’t always easy to tell.)

I think this is one of those things that seems like everyone notices when it’s you, but when you think about it in reverse you struggle to think of any times you’ve noticed another person with a ‘jacket zipper boner’.

Zipper less hoodies don’t seem to do this ime

IDK why this is downvoted; it’s literally the zipper that causes this bulge by being stiffer and less likely to bend like the rest of the material used for the jacket/hoodie/pants.

At least on a jacket or hoodie, you can push it up so the bulge is on your chest or something. Can’t really do that with jeans when the zipper is just on the crotch.

If you just play it cool and use that jacket bump, it won’t even occur to anyone that it’s a boner.

What if you have a boner? Then it provides plausible deniability.

Exactly. These and those pants that make it look like you’ve peed in them just a little but for stylistic reasons are just good things to have out there in the world imo.

I think the joke is that he has an erection.

Nah, there’s no room for that, it would always bend and slip downward to the middle of the thigh or upward to the belly button.

Jeanis is correct.

Erections are no joke. You could poke an eye out with one of those.

It’s because the cloth shrinks in the wash more than the zipper so in order to fit the longer zipper in the smaller cloth it needs to bulge out.

You are not supposed to wash jeans in a way that would make them shrink.

You are not supposed to wash them in a washing machine at all in the first place.

I have a roll of coins in my pocket, but I’m happy to see you so I can give you these coins. I also have a massive erection.

In case someone is stressing about this (I used to when I was young and dumb), no one cares about your boner, or lack thereof. But someday you might meet someone who does!

When you’re past a certain age, having an unexpected, rebellious boner that refuses to calm down is an achievement. I remember when they were a constant nuisance, so I can relate to the young and dumb guys.
