Re: Crotch grabbing
Since the 1980's i have noticed many Male Muscians, when performing, grab their crotch. What's that all about? You gotta go pee? Got an itch? Trying to draw your female fans attention to your package? Your pants are falling down? You trying to masturbate on stage? You don't need to draw attention to your crotch, we know it's there. Your performances would be much better if your hands stayed away from that area.

Guess I'm just an old fuddy duddy, but save that gesture for when you are behind closed doors with your intimate partner or in a medical setting and need to show a doc a medical related issue.
