    This is something I’ve seen referenced a lot on American shows like the Simpsons, but I’ve never met anyone to whom this has happened. Is it really that common? Are your zippers different?

      As an American, I’ve never done it or known anyone who had admitted to it.

      I wonder if wearing your pants on your hips or waist makes a difference. Maybe it’s more likely to happen to smaller penises. Or maybe it’s a puritan holdover, like, “gotta put my penis away as fast as possible.”

      It’s apparently common enough that the military has a specific tool in basic training med-whatevers for cutting off the zipper.

      I honestly never even conceived of the notion until I read that fact as a young adult.

      I also noticed in american media that people only open the zipper to take a piss, but not the button - maybe that’s the difference?

    The only thing worse is slamming your dick in a car door. Double if you’re tumescent.
