How did our ancestors run with flappy boobs and balls?

r/

I can’t imagine running at top speed with my balls flapping around. That shit would hurt. I can imagine it’s a similar experience with boobs. How did our ancestors handle it? Did they just have tougher balls or something?

By ancestors I mean like, before we invented tight fitting clothes.

    The testicles draw up closer to the body during strenuous physical activity. I don’t have “flappy boobs”, as you put it, so I can’t comment on that bit.

    • Clothes were invented pretty early
    • we didnt run too much as we had weapons and strategy
    • females foraged rather than hunting

    Maybe just hold them in place with their arm or hand?

    There are still native people out in the world who live a life pretty much naked. So I think it is ok somehow. With heavy boobs running can be painful but I’m sure you can get used to it.

    I gotta go with your keen insight of tougher balls. Neanderthal men were known for their tough balls. Once clothing came around, balls eventually softened aka “soft balls”.

    AC/DC’s song ” Big Balls” could be an homage to those early days of tough balls.

    Ancestors had very low % body fat. You with a bra and underwear would not survive.

    Ÿou dont run much. If you did you’d know balls dont hurt from running loose. Cant speak for boobs though.

    There was a lot of clapping so I believe that acted as motivation to run faster

    We had really low body fat back then and likely had a lot less breast tissue. Testicles don’t actually need support when you run. They pull in closer towards the body when you’re active and when it’s cold.

    As someone with tits who has had to hall ass outside the house to get her dog when he ran outside while my brother had his hands full, and not having my over shoulder boulder holder on undet my PJ’s … I just press my arms against them to keep them from flying around everywhere if I have no support and have to get running.

    They usually died before things got saggy.

    1. modern boobs are significantly larger relative to the ribcage than our ancestors’ were as little as 200 years ago, with especially marked increases in Asia and the USA; dubiously attached boobs would’ve mainly been a feature of lactating mothers

    2. male jets slapping your leg happens mostly because of pants, if you’re in the nude or a loincloth they won’t get in the way; plus they’re attached by one of the oblique muscles

    3. not much running going on in most civilizations including hunter gatherers; despite claims of human running being awesome, persistence hunters today and historically spend and spent most of the “pursuit” power walking at a medium pace while following tracks, only running when they regain sight of their target

    Our ancestors were bright enough to run with their feet and legs rather than their “boob’s n balls”.

    Fun fact: This is why the skin found on knees, testicles and elbows closely resemble each other in structure and function.
