Jul 22, 2020Some of my gym shorts are wearing out so I ordered 2 new pair yesterday.
Since our grandson is here more and I am going less places that expect better dress, my gym shorts have seen a lot of use lately
My current supply has inseams in the 8" (20 cm) range, well above the knee but not really short.
Wanted to try something shorter so I ordered one pair with a 4" inseam and one with 5".
Will be fine at home, but don't know how it will work when I eventually get back to the gym. One of the reviewers called them the ideal work at home uniform. I suspect most of us would disagree and say that the ideal at home work uniform is nothing at all!

When it was my sons or grandson, I would say "If you don't like these shorts I can take them off." That tended to stop the complaints.ReactReply

As it is it shows a real lack of respect to your sons and grandsons. Threatening them with your nudity rather than wear appropriate clothes.ReactReply - STStephenMar 25, 2025[quote]I usually say that age and weight shouldn't dictate what someone can wear.When it was my sons or grandson, I would say "If you don't like these shorts I can take them off."

You do know that these shorts used to be totally in style. So it's kinda like daisy dukes are now equated to a whole, is that what you are saying Steve.ReactReply

Daisy Dukes suited Daisy Duke, a fit young lady with million dollar legs (not my opinion, its what was claimed they were insured for)
They dont suit a septuagenarian male with a kink. Never will.
so what Im saying is its not about fashion its about you and your disrespect for your family.

SteveMar 26, 2025[quote]By ShavedNudist27: I have a pair of shorts that have a 1" inseam it's the next best thing to being nude! By minimalist75: Do they have a liner or do you wear briefs under them? If neither, how do you avoid accidental exposure?[/quote] My shortest are 1.5" and I don't stand a chance of not peeking in them unless I wear something beneath such as a thong. Actually, if I'm careful to place the scrotum on one side of the centre front seam and the shaft on the other then my prospects are better but I haven't tried that for too long. But they are wonderfully light with a generous side slit and a lightweight nylon-spandex fabric and no hem, although the lightness definitely contributes to peeking. With another pair at 2" I'm fine for walking, just, and my 3" pair gives that extra margin. All require care when sitting, bending or crouching. The techniques girls in miniskirts use definitely come into play!ReactReply - TDTom DOriginal PosterApr 15, 2025[quote]Daisy Dukes suited Daisy Duke, a fit young lady with million dollar legs (not my opinion, its what was claimed they were insured for) They dont suit a septuagenarian male with a kink.

Yeah, maybe, but not old fellas. Never seen Jesse Duke in anything but dungarees.

Probably depends where one lives. In Australia Stubbies shorts used to be almost universal, but underwear would have commonly be some form of brief. I have no pictures of myself in them but this is quite typical.

And when they were anything other than new, they would tend to crease up at the front from sitting, effectively making them a just little shorter again. :-)

The old, Im 75 years old and would love to wear Daisy Dukes, but for those damned pesky boxer shorts, excuse. I love your deranged logic. But not your BS made up non facts,ReactReply

Surprised me since Stubbies shorts were manufactured there. I was more surprised by a language difference on our last visit to Australia. We took our brother-in-law and his family to a fairly nice restaurant for dinner. There was a sign in the lobby that men in thongs were permitted in the bar area, but not the main dining room. Since thongs in the US usually refer to swimwear or underwear with little or no back, I was puzzled until our niece's husband said that it referred to the footwear usually called flip-flops in the US. Since he was wearing thongs (Australian definition) we had dinner at a table in the bar area.ReactReply

blindmanin99Jul 25, 2025Im a short person with short legs, so I tend to wear shorter shorts. They are more comfortable to work out in at the gym and basically for any moving around. Of course nude is the best way to go, but not allowed at the gym or in public. Ive been going shorter and shorter at the gym over the past few months, and I love it. I just have to make sure I dont pop out of them. I started wearing some really short shorts this morning in the steam room, about two inch inseam. Much more comfortable!
