A look at urban dictionary suggests cockwarmer does not mean what I thought it meant. Oops.

Did someone mention cockles? Would a a snail shell be close enough? (NSFW)

This was a novelty gift when I was a kid--my mom got one for my dad, though it machine made.

It was labeled "The Willy Warmer."

Is this still that idea voting thing?

When I was 8 I thought my dad's joke gift from his friends of one of these was the most hilarious thing I'd ever seen.

A little trivia: "the cockles of the heart" refers to the valves (specifically the aortic and pulmonary), the leaflets of which resemble cockle shells.

Are there a lot of cold dicks? I mean, I don't personally have one, and I live in the American South, but this hasn't seemed to be an issue for my husband. Even when we lived in Denver, he never said, "I wish I had a woolen sock for my penis. It's so cold!" Just seems like a solution in search of a problem.

This would take about twenty minutes to make yourself, and you can adjust the fit as you go! And you can use up that scrap yarn! This has no downside. Hastily-written crochet instructions follow:

Start with a magic ring. 6 sc in magic ring. 2 sc in each st around. Depending on the yarn and the dimensions of the intended recipient, you can keep working evenly around, or add another round or two of increases (remember to space increase stitches evenly, unless you're trying to accommodate a piercing or something. Continue until you're done. Fasten off, weave in ends, and while you're at it, why not add a pom-pom? Because that would be great.

Cock block sock, use when on the clock, but not the dock. The girls will flock to your bio glock, never leave it in hock. Oh what a jock, to have such a lock, yet ignore the mocks about little knocks. You rock the sock as the day goes tick tock.

That's all I got.

I read that as "do not use birth control". I stared at if for some moments thinking (a) why would it follow that someone who makes woolen condoms is opposed to birth control?, and (b) when would someone who wears a woolen condom ever be in a position to need birth control?

SOMEbody bought too much Harvest Gold yarn....
posted by Greg_Ace at 9:19 PM on September 3, 2010


So years ago, I did a report on this issue of BUST for school, and the erotica in their "One-handed Read" was all about a girl who knits a guy a cock sweater, which I thought was weird at the time--this was when the whole hipster-girl knitting thing was bleeding-edge and new. I've thought back to that occasionally, about how prescient it was, whenever I've stumbled upon knit things on etsy, and also how random and sort of fundamentally not-erotic it was, too, because I find knit things itchy even when they're on my head, much less my genitals. Well, a few months ago, someone bought me a BUST subscription, and I'm reading through a new issue and I come to the One-handed Read and it's another short story about knitting a cock sweater. Definitely not the same story, but a whole new piece of fiction about a nearly identical merging of neo-housewifery and cocks.

So while, granted, I'm working off a limited sample size, I'm pretty sure I've figured out how to corner BUST's erotic fiction market.

I think it needs a little button-back flap; the way convertible-mittens have, for precise dexterity.

Otherwise, how are you supposed to handle keys in order to unlock doors, let alone open a zipper?

Circumcised-American.

It sounds like an ethnic group. Ideally with a parade or street festival. I can see it now, catchy music and tasty food at a local church, with rides for the kiddies.

Maybe we can start putting this on the census, instead of "Jedi".

I knit socks for my feet, and every now and then while I'm knitting in public, a guy will ask if I'm knitting him a cockwarmer. This is always a different guy, and it's never been said by a guy I know.

I've come up with a lot of replies over the years.

My favorite is, 'if your cock is 7 inches around and has a 90 degree bend in the middle if it, then this is a cockwarmer for you!' if I'm feeling polite I'll explain that it's actually a sock for my foot.
