Unsightly bulges? New Zealand hotelier bans Lycra

Hope he hasn't heard of an event called the Olympics happening this summer.

clear case of over-masturbation illness...

I dunno I can kind of see his point (no pun intended). I've seen a few x-large guys on sportive meal stops who clearly don't have enough room in their bibs to fold up their manhood within the area of the pad to discreet levels.

When you have half a millimetre thickness of lycra covering that and you can clearly see the shape of it right down to the Mr. Vein sometimes, well I wouldn't want my daughter or my elderly mother seeing it whilst trying to eat....

It's fine in a gym or in the peleton or on the pitch, not so nice in a place where people eat with their families.

Speaking to my wife and female colleagues at work previously about this kind of thing it's just not nice. Curious, yes, funny yes and does cause most ladies to stare but most have agreed that it's not pleasant or even sexy, well the ones I speak to anyway. They'd rather look at toned glutes, abs or arms. Guess the point is try to be discreet with a better pad or adjust your manhood. I'm sure some guys lift it up high so that it can be seen... Ugh...

Same with camel toe. I would stare and probably smile, but sexy it ain't and I wouldn't want young kids seeing it. In fact it would put me off my steak....or muffins. Or bacon sandwich.

Cant see why the hotelier wouldn't ban women too, even if they do look hot in lycra with the right body shape. Camel toe really isn't nice and I love p....!

“A lot of our customers are elderly or children and they don’t need to know that much detail about the shape of somebody."  Eh? They're probably not looking, and if they are they obviously do need, or want, to know 'that much detail'.  And why not, if the wearers aren't bothered? The man's obviously obsessed with genitalia.

I hope there'll be a camel-toe ban too.

Does the rule also apply to some seriously overweight ladies wearing Lycra tights casually?

Brings to mind the immortal words of Mr Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap: 'They see us on stage with tight trousers and we’ve got, you know, armadillos in our trousers. I mean, it’s really quite frightening, the size. They run screaming.'

nothing to worry me here, and not just because I don't lige in new zealand, as the proprieter of a restauraunt he can apply any dress code he likes.

eat eslewhere, or carry a pair of sports shorts in your back pocket (they are not large or heavy) if the food there is so good you want to keep using it.

Great story, made me laugh out loud while queing in my bank.

Who cares, just take your business elsewhere.

This ban is going to cost him a packet.
