Honestly, Daniel looks pretty sexy here so I guess I can forgive him. 
Maybe I will never understand it, but quiet frankly why the hell do I need to? Adjust your balls, scratch your balls, air your balls, whatever you want to do with your balls
WHEN I’M NOT LOOKING!
So as you know, I live in a house full of men and I swear, between the three of them, their hands are on their crotches more than I could care to count.
Justin, now this is just a bit much, you're not even TRYING to be discreet.
So I bet you’re wondering why I don’t “teach” them that it is inappropriate or that it’s disrespectful or it’s rude or it’s just flat out GROSS! Well, trust me I do! Perhaps some of you can sympathize with me because you live in a house full of guys like myself (and mind you I grew up with two younger brothers (no sisters) so you would think I’ve become accustomed to this caveman-like behavior) But to answer your question, I have.
I have told them not to do it, I have given them nasty looks, I have jabbed them in the ribs, I have yelled at them, I have explained to them how disgusting it is but all of it has been to no avail. I tell you, when you are the only woman in the house, it’s like they think you are one of them. That you’re gonna “understand” their “discomforts”.
So what do they do? They bust out with the excuses. The justifications. The rationale as to why it is necessary, while they are talking to me, facing me, that their hand goes down to their crotch and they lift up their leg ever so slightly and shift it out to the side (yeah, like a dog peeing), and, ahem, “adjust”. ARE YOU SERIOUS?
A. Rod are you fricken' kidding me?? That's just nasty!
I’m sorry but I have never met a single woman who appreciates the practice of “adjusting.” I mean, shit, can you imagine if we started “adjusting” our breasts while we walk, while we are standing in a line, while we are talking to someone, while we are sprawled out on the couch? Can you imagine that? C’mon!
Unfortunately, I know this is a fruitless battle. Guys scratching their balls, I mean, “adjusting their package”, will never cease to exist, but if you have any ideas that you’ve used (ladies) to get your guys to be more conscious, please do share. I particularly appreciate prankster and wicked-like ideas. Muahahahaa!
Peace Out!

My journey into motherhood began when I was 17 years old. Today, I am the mother of two teen boys, 15 and 13, and I am one of the only moms "blogging" about raising teen boys. On this blog, which I like to call a "blogory", I share my candid, poignant, sometimes humorous, but always real, short stories about my stumbles through parenthood as a young mother raising two teen boys while coping with living in a house full of testosterone. My parenting philosophy revolves around honest, no holds barred communication, where no topic is off limits, mixed with an enormous sense of humor. Peace Out! -Natasha Olivera

When I’m adjusting my peter, it’s only because the heat makes things stick to the thighs.
My two cents.
ps. I am pretty discrete about it though…
I dont adjust my package, I adjust my underwear, BIG difference. Have you heard the term “Drowning Balls” Yes, as any living, and breathing animal, they need air too.
Why do women always look down there at just the right time?
Not for nothing but if you ladies began to adjust your breast in public more often, I think you would have more to worry about than just the occasional “adjustment”.

hahaha!
Men need to explore a little with Powder. May I suggest Summer’s Eve? It absorbs moisture and prevents chafing.
LOL – Great post! I am guilty of adjusting the “girls” on days when I feel a little crooked.
I almost forgot to let you know – I shared an award with you on my site. As a result I included a link to your site in the post. =) The post is: Gold Star
PS – I keep staring at A. Rods…. adjustment shot. Memorizing and revolting at the same time.
LMAO, I read this comment last night to several of the guys I was hanging out with and they couldn’t stop laughing at the suggestion. Maybe for Christmas I’ll wrap up some Summer’s Eve for all the men in my life!
Holy crap thanks lady! I’m totally honored!
Actually, women DO adjust their breasts constantly. Constantly. And pick their underwear out of their ass. And also apply makeup at the table which is just so gauche.
