Why do guys sleep with their hand in their pants?

Guys subconsciously default to this position when they relax because they feel more at ease with their essential organs out of harm's way. “You could think of the hand there like insurance against a friend who might give them a nut jab or a kid who accidentally hits a ball at them,” says Van Edwards.

Think about how you like to relax at home. After a hard day’s work, maybe you plop on the couch, put on a game, kick up your feet . . . and slide your hands down your pants. That’s just what guys do. Many men naturally reach for their junk both in private and in public without batting an eye. This includes fully submerging your hands in your underwear, occasionally reaching down to adjust your package, or even just playing a little pocket pool. So how come you do it? These three surprising reasons might explain why.

1. It Protects Your Package

Guys subconsciously default to this position when they relax because they feel more at ease with their essential organs out of harm’s way. “You could think of the hand there like insurance against a friend who might give them a nut jab or a kid who accidentally hits a ball at them,” says Van Edwards. Maybe this explains why Major League Baseball players are constantly readjusting their junk at the plate. (And you’re right to be a little careful.

2. It Eases Your Nerves

About to make a big pitch or close a deal? Rubbing your stomach or other body parts in a non-erotic way triggers the release of oxytocin, a calming hormone, according to a study in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. That may be why touching your junk can be soothing. But since massaging your groin in a board room could get you fired, Van Edwards often tells nervous public speakers to stroke or touch their arms or the backs of their necks to reduce anxiety. Of course, none of this applies if you’re an MLB player

3. It Helps You Assert Your Dominance

Facing a business rival with your hands in your pants could mean you’re consciously or subconsciously trying to establish who’s boss, says Rob Kominiarek, D.O., a family physician and founder of the Alpha Male Medical Institute. Telling other guys to back off by pointing to your junk helps you mark your territory, he says. Evolutionarily speaking, he who mates the most wins—even if these days, that means landing clients and accounts rather than producing offspring.

How do you know if someone finds you attractive?

Physical signs of attraction: Pupils dilate when they look at you. ... Blushing and flushed skin. ... Tonal voice changes. ... Open body language. ... Leaning closer to you. ... Mirroring your behavior. ... Sneaky gestures to enhance their appearance. ... Increase in body temperature. More items... •

We know physical touch can be a love language. If you notice someone always finds opportunities to touch you as you engage each other, that's often a sign of attraction. These kinds of touches often occur under the guise of an "accident," for example where a person brushes up against you or attempts to bump into your hand as you both reach for the wine bottle. Or they might reach out and touch your hand or playfully hit you when you make them laugh. All seemingly innocent actions, yes, but if you notice it's frequent, take it as a show of interest! Sometimes, these signs differ by gender. Signs of attraction from a woman include softer touches. "Women may lightly touch the arm of the person they're talking to," Schafer says. It's not an invitation to a sexual encounter, so don't misinterpret the signal; "it merely means she likes you." On the other hand, a man may place his hand on the crook of your elbow or tuck your hair behind your ear. Plus, there's always this age-old sign: When a guy puts his hand on your lower back to guide you as you walk across the street or onto the dance floor, that's often a sign of attraction.
