Gold Bond Aims for the Nuts

posted by on May 14 at 13:57 PM

It’s an open secret: a quick dusting of Gold Bond Medicated Powder can keep a fellow’s junk feeling fresh as a tingly daisy.

Now, Gold Bond ad execs are explicitly targeting the man’s-junk market, via the sassy, double entendre-laden website/ad campaign PowderMyEquipment.com.

(Thanks for the heads-up, Gawker.)

Why in heck must male genitals be referred to as "junk"? That's just disgusting. How are any of you men going to persuade us wimmen to be interested in you if you call your junk "junk"?

(Or if you're a homo, how are you going to recruit those gullible horny young studs to be your servants . . . . ?)

:D

Also cuts down on pesky chafing.

Junk is acceptable only for its ability to sum up the various parts without making explicit reference to any of them.

But you're right, "junk" does have inherent negative connotations, so perhaps we should switch to....bouquet?

I vote for "gear and tackle."

I have no "junk". I have only finely crafted jewels. They are delicate but need frequent polishing. And dusting with Gold Bond (really, the stuff is great, I didn't need any website to tell me that).

They should only be referred to as wedding vegetables!

But it tastes funny...

It works best if you use the blue bottle. Colloquially, this practice is known as "the elves," as in 1,000 tiny elves gently massaging my, um, junk.

"Package" and "Jewels" are widely understood and acceptable terms, for sure, but there's something so elegant (and oddly descriptive) about "Bouquet". I'll run that one by my old lady tonight and get back to you, Schmader.

After watching those videos, my junk feels all tingly...and I didn't even apply any powder.

@14 ok, so I have the blue bottle which I use for my feet. Sometimes if I am over enthusiastic, it burns.

You want me to put this on my genitalia?

Does Gold Bond help the nut smell? I'm going to have to grab some of that.

@17 - trust us, if you use a small amount it's very nice and cooling, and prevents chafing.

TOO TINGLY! IT BURNS!

Does it counter that weird rotten musky earthy smell some guys have? Why is it that some guys smell so good and some guys smell like, well rotten cabbage I guess.

@8 What drum and bugle corp and what did you play? I was a flag girl myself, marching band, not drum corps.

Wow, that's terrible. I did not know that. I smell like plumeria and fresh ocean breezes myself. And my farts smell like Christmas morning.

I dig the musky smell on guys as long as it's just their natural scent and not that they're dirty. Such a turn on.
