I wonder if it’s padding or Photoshop that gives men’s underwear ads that specific look (nsfw) of “My bulge is enormous but has absolutely no anatomical detail.  Just a vague ovoid thing in there.  But it’s a big ovoid, ladies. *wink*”

Either way, it seems like a potent metaphor for the American media’s treatment of sexuality.

I suspect that the models are wearing a Dance Belt. 

You guys need to read this Wikipedia Dance Belt article linked above. It’s…intensely detailed.

The dance belt is a bra for men.

If women are socially expected to wear bras, why aren’t men socially expected to wear this?It only seems fair. Imagine…

Then there’d be all these memes about how good it feels to get home from work and take off your dance belt.

There’d be experimental buzzfeed videos. “Here’s what’s it’s like to go out IN PUBLIC without a dance belt for a whole week.”

Nah man, I don’t wanna come over, I already too my dance belt off.

I know I should get a proper dance-belt fitting but I’m too nervous for the shop clerk to measure me…there. So I’m just guessing.

They’d make really cool macho ones with metal and camo patterns for smaller guys but plus size men would be stuck with black and beige.

Women would brag about being able to undo them one handed.

And, of course, men would start bragging about what dance belt size they wore. Some men (usually teenagers) would intentionally buy ones that are too big to stuff them.

Dance belts “enhanced” with water or silicone would become available.

Push up-dance belts.

Oh my gosh, girl, guess who left their dance belt at my house last night!!!

Imagine the possibilities.

’…skin-tight, body-hugging ballet tights would otherwise reveal the contours of the male dancer’s anatomy to a degree of detail which could be considered distracting to the audience.’

….I kinda want one. My gym gear does not leave a lot to the imagination.
