mockiato:

“In one experiment, mothers were asked to guess the steepness of a carpeted slope that their 11-month olds would be able to crawl. Then the children actually crawled the slope, and the difference between actual and mother-predicted angles was noted. The results showed that both boys and girls were able to crawl the same degree of incline. However, the predictions of the mothers were correct within one degree for the boys and underestimated their daughter’s ability by nine degrees. What this shows is that the presumption that boys are more physical causes parents to encourage their boys more in physical activities while cautioning their girls. This further translates into providing more opportunities for boys to be physical and fewer for girls.
The result? Boys actually do develop stronger physical skills than girls. But not because of anything innate or biological, but rather because of the gender roles that the parents subconsciously projected onto their babies.”

Lee says:

One thing to remember is the average flaccid penis is 3.5″ so you don’t want your sock packer to be too massive. 

I know some people put the packer in a sock then pin the sock to their underpants using safety pins, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that at night since you don’t want to accidentally get stuck by the pin.

Fox says:

Tutorial time! The lighting here is bad, so it’s going to be difficult to show you the final result— not to mention, I’m wearing khakis. But both of them make a nice bulge.

Socks are decent, but I prefer a necktie. Here are both:


Socks.

Step #1. Boxers, boxer briefs…underwear with a penis flap, okay?

Step #2. Pair of socks.

Step #3. Pinch them together, like so.

Step #4. With both hands, roll them into one another.

image

Step #5. Roll them all the way down.

Image two: A light skinned hand holding a pair of black socks in front of a tan couch.
Image three: A hand holding the black pair of socks together by the opening, one of them hangs slightly lower than the other one.
Image four: A hand holding the socks rolled into one another, part of the unrolled socks hangs behind where the fingers probably are.
Image five: A hand holding the socks, the way they have been folded gives them an oblong look.
Image six: Another shot of a person wearing yellow boxer briefs, the soks stuffed in the crotch area to bulk it up
Image seven: Same shot, but the person is leaning in slightly, a safety pin has also been added to keep the socks in place.

Second set:
Image one: A light skinned hand holding a checkered black and white necktie with pictures of Tiger, from Winnie the Poo scattered over it. Part of the tie had been rolled and is being held leaving the loose end lie on a tan couch
Second image: A hand holding the fully rolled nectie.
Third image: A waist shot of a person wearing yellow boxer briefs with the rolled tie stuffed in the crotch area to create the impression of a bulge.
Fourth image: Same shot, but a safety pin has been added to keep the tie in place.
