| in certain bikram poses my penis gets smashed because all the weight is on my hips. I am referring to poses where the legs and arms are lifted off the ground and only the pelvis and belly are on the ground.
I see lots of guys doing Yoga so someone else must have this problem. Is it better to wear an athletic cup for protection or is a few seconds of smashing the penis with the body weight not a problem every day? |

| I hear ya mate! We've discussed this in depth in the past--many recommendations but, I for one have found no relief unless I position a blanket properly. The typical Bikram class doesn't normally provide the time to arrange that. So for the most pasrt, I don't do the painful asanas in a public setting. Now here something surprising (to me anyway), practicing naked lessons the problem--clothing seems to compact and restrict the movement of the organ whereas being nude lets them move out of harm's way. |

| I always adjust you to be shy about it. However the women in the class are always doing boob adjustments so I feel okay with the adjustment.
Now Bruce's idea of Nude yoga. No way in Hell would I go to Nude Yoga. Adjusting my friend is fine in clothing the idea of nude class in where ,,,, well needless to say I would have a huge growing problem the entire class... |

| Worst part was an instructor "helping" me during bow posture by pressing down on my feet. I didn't have the heart to explain what she was doing to me....  |

| I don't get your scenario, Green Jello. I suppose it's not important that I get it. |

Um, she was deliberately increasing downward pressure, making things even more uncomfortable in a sensitive area. |

| Strangely enough I find the same boob-wise when practising at home, especially with inverted postures (I'm less likely to get strangled by my own chest!). I wish I had the nerve to go bra-less in class.

If it works at home, why not in class? Go for it Fee!

Soon as I can swing some plane tickets. Always wanted to tour the UK. |

| I've found that practicing "downward facing penis" helps to allieviate the trouble with most prone asanas. Adjustments may be required! |
|

|
| I have found that different shorts are better for some poses, other shorts better for others. Basically has to do with how tight they are. I haven't found a pair that works for all poses, but am still searching! I suspect a speedo might do the trick, but haven't worked up the nerve to wear one during class.  |
|
| |
|
| so should I put one blanket under my thighs and one under my stomach?
or how about a donut pillow on the floor? I could stick my penis in the donut hole and be protected. I may get a few odd looks, but I don't really care and I think a few guys will likely copy my lead. Maybe I'll be a trend setter  |

| Oh, right on! |
|
| |
|
| i kinda had the same issue when i started. i think with poorna salabhasana (full locust) or dhanurasana (floor bow) the trick is to lean foreward and going high enough onto belly/hips.
the only readjusting i sometimes need is from garurasana (eagle) |
|
| |
|
| oh man i used to wear baggy basketball shorts to bikram class, and sometimes i would smash a nut HELLA bad in garudasana.
it was bad news...

| Are these posts "bait ploys" to attract women with your self-described "penis-so-large-it-gets-in-the-way"?
If it is.......it's working |
