Men learning to ride... Best 'protection'!

[marleyboo]

Hi all my brother has decided to learn to ride my mare whilst I'm off with bad back. He rode many years ago but today he rode for the first time and refused to sit up as his ' baby making tackle' was getting squished ahem!. Tips welcome please and in all seriousness !!

Come on don't be shy folks! It's a real dilemma. Is it just that he will get used to it?! Or is there some secret equipment ?!!

Sorry I can't help, but you may get more answers in New Lounge. I can only imagine the route this thread will take at some point.

Half a minute will ask my other half for you!!!

I just make sure I wear good fitting (tightish) boxers underneath good fitting jodpurs and make sure evrything is where it should be - if you know what I mean. I don't have too many problems.

I would be interested in this aswell am currently trying to perswade my partner to ride but her wont because of this very problem

He says!!!! He just needs to get comfy like riding a bike, could be the saddle, front too high and decent scants!!! ones which support

If the saddle is too small for him then it will push him forward and squash his bits.

Tighty whities (other colours are available) are a must. Anything flopping around will eventually get trapped and squashed. Dressing either left or right is also desirable, direction is not important and no need to change diagonal on change of rein

Amazing! See loads of info here and it might be considered news to some hee hee!! thanks boys and gals!!

I'll post in lounge too just in case we might miss some other ideas thanks x

I cannot imagine discussing this with my brother..... what about cycling shorts?

Have posted in NL, my OH goes for the tight supportive pants route. Equitech do riding ones which are better than standard briefs. Also prefers jodhs rather than anything looser as it helps keep things in their place.
