Although this article is an April Fools prank, some of us Manly Men do in fact wear a codpiece from time to time. I have a leather one that I wear with button fly (open underneath) jeans when I go out for scotch and cigars with the guys. And on leg day in the gym I often wear a codpiece over my gym tights. You definitely want your man-parts up and away when you’re pumping iron with your legs.

I recently read a short story called “The Masculinist Revolt” written by William Tenn (pen-name of Philip Glass, a great 19th century satirist). It’s basically about a time when mostly women have come to hold all the top positions in the world, and the actual “revolt” starts through the coming-back of the codpiece. I’d like to relate the ending here:

It was almost as if Masculinism had never been. If we discount the beery groups of men who, at the end of a party, nostalgically sing the old songs and call out the old heroic rallying cries to each other, we have today very few mementos of the great convulsion.
One of them is the codpiece.
The codpiece has survived as a part of modern male costume. In motion, it has a rhythmic wave that reminds many women of a sternly shaken forefinger, warning them that men, at the last, can only be pushed so far and no farther. For men, the codpiece is still a flag, now a flag of truce perhaps, but it flutters in a war that goes on and on.

Codpieces for women are widely available in San Francisco and New Orleans. Of course, you never really know if they are women or hybrids.

Racing stripes, dragon flames, and smiley faces. Well played sir. Well played.

And the stylish bullet proof cod wonder — excellent touch.

It’s one thing for a waterpolo player like me to be wearing a speedo and have attention drawn down there but this is ENTIRELY another thing…….. at least speedos help you swm faster! I think it’s pretty funny that they’d even think of this haha

Sorry to be late to the party, but I am sadly disappointed that no one has mentioned Cameo on this yet.

Word Up!

Folks,
Believe me, the codpiece is alive and well in Quartzsite, Arizona.
Go to the “Readers Oasis Bookstore”.
You will meet Paul the owner wearing, depending on the temperature, nothing but a codpiece and his cowboy hat.
Check out his website.
