A Thing For Running Shorts
This site is dedicated to the topic of straight men who have a "thing" for running shorts. This is not a porn site, nor is this a gay site.
This site was started in June 2006 to attempt to discover how and why some guys develop a strong attraction to wearing shorts that share these main characteristics:
- very short (2 inch inseam or less)
- typically made of shiny nylon tricot or similar materials
- possibly split on the sides
- typically loose in such a way that the hem flops around in the wind
Because Geocities will be closing in 2009, I will try to move this site to another hosting service. I will still have the same email address however.
Here are some articles on this topic:
You are welcome to submit articles of your own by writing to the site's maintainer. Confidentiality is guaranteed. They may be published on this site (with your approval) if they conform to the following guidelines:
- No discussion of sexual acts, whether alone or with others. It is appropriate to discuss arousal however, as long as it is done tastefully.
- The focus should be on straight men, because most sites related to running shorts are already maintained by and for gays.
Here are some points that articles could address:
- At what age did you discover that you liked wearing running shorts (or other kinds of very short shorts) and that they caused you to become aroused?
- Why do you think you felt that way in short shorts?
- Were you shy about wearing shorts, and did that contribute to the attraction?
- What kind of running shorts do you wear? (Inseam length, splits on the sides, material, colors, where you bought them, etc.)
- How do you wear your running shorts? (Pulled up high, or lower, with shirt tucked in or not, what kind of underwear if any, rolled up waist, etc.)
- Do you modify your shorts to make them skimpier? (Shorter, looser, deeper split, cutting the liner, etc.)
- Has today's fashion, which favors long shorts for men, reduced or eliminated your tendency to wear running shorts in public?
- Does anyone know about your quirk? If you have told some people, how did they react? Has anyone ever confronted you about your behavior in short shorts?
- Did you first assume that you were the only one with this quirk?
- How did you first observe behavior in other people that suggests that they also have a thing for running shorts?
- What are the most unusual places where you have dared to wear running shorts?
- Are you a runner or jogger? If so, does the opportunity to wear running shorts have anything to do with it?
- Did you get to wear short shorts in school (as a uniform or in physical education)? How was that experience?
- If you are a woman who shares this quirk, you are welcome to share your impressions.
