Uh, stigmata would imply that someone'd been crucified... Or they'd been impressed upon the person by divine favour.

For a sport known to attract masochists, there seem to be an awful lot of posts regarding comfort on this issue.

one reason for it culd also b becuz with guys the lyrca short covers similar amount of skin as boxers so they already think they is wearing undies on a physiolgical level, whereas with teh ladiez, they be used to wearing the panties and so that lyrcra short isn't a comparably form factor to that so they dont have the psychologistal perseption that the shorts are like undies so they'll more prone to waring panties beneath the bike shorts. it's probably a unconscious and sublymonal disision.
im going to ask my friend who is a psychiatrist and ask him what he finds out

This is a funny Thread. Where undies if you want. Just do not start another thread asking why your crouch has soars on it, or why does private areas stank. HAHAHAHAHA. While you are throwing on the old undies under the biking shorts you might want to use lots Camois Cream.

No... I meant stigma, I just can't spell very well. By now I've forgetten what my original context for the word was, but I'm sure it was part of an incredibly pointful and well thought out post.
