Why do I always put my hands in my 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.

What does it mean when a woman spoon a man?

Come the 20th century, spooning came to refer to a sexual position where a person has intercourse with a person on their side from the back. For most intimates, though, spooning is more innocuous, a form of chest-to-back cuddling. It's named for the ways spoons can be stacked and is recorded on a Usenet group by 1994.

dictionary.com - spooning Meaning & Origin | Slang by Dictionary.com

In Old English, a spoon was a “splinter” of wood, evolving into the eating utensil in Middle English. Starting in 17th century Wales, spooning involved a love-spoon, an intricately wooden spoon given by a young suitor to a woman. Among other things, it signaled to her and her family that he was a skilled man who was able to provide for her. Fancy! This tradition appears to have influenced spooning in the 1800s, which was any type of affectionate or flirtatious behavior displayed between two love interests.

The so-called big spoon is the person on the outside and the little spoon, the person embraced on the inside. It’s a sweet activity, and it’s not only reserved for humans.
