- HA! If I were wearing tights, I'd say so. Tights need to have
- feet, I think, and these don't. I have no machohood
- to protect. They're the pants I wear to the gym on cold days.
- Today I wore the short ones, because I noticed that it's the
- upper legs that get the wind blast.
-
- You can find some fairly heavy tights, which would probably be
- great in the cold. I'm not sure standard panty-hose would be
- heavy enough to do much good. I've been thinking about trying
- stirrup pants, which wouldn't ride up under the jeans.
-
- So nyah nyah.

- A friend tells me he wears them under his leather pants. The
- padded butt must help. And I'm told some men's bike shorts have
- extra "conveniences" to help the weaker sex protect their
- vulnerable spot from getting mashed against the seat. But I
- wouldn't know anything about that.
