Historical Boner July 4, 2010
Boners have been around since before most of us were born – the above photo was taken in 1921, after a swimming competition in the Delaware River. We like how the original caption explains how this man won the event “by default after the first-place finisher was disqualified for completing the 10-mile event in the Delaware River without a swimsuit.” Perhaps that explains the boner?

That’s just ball shrinkage that is causing his d to stick out instead of hang down
Is he weRing man thongs and the man near him is havin a laugh
That is no boner. His swimsuit would have been cotton or wool, and therefore would not have contained a boner like elastic fabrics like lycra or spandex do today.
You know, when the penis is not erect, it is not called a “boner”, yes?
I think Joey is right. If it is a boner it is conspicuously small.
It is a button not a bonner!
Even though it’s not a boner, I think it’s pretty interesting to see a bulge from a time when modesty was SO important. This probably is not a photo he would have wanted friends or family to see.
@ Joey, right – it was the Delaware river for crying out loud. Major shrinkage there.

Omg! I used to live in NJ next to the Delaware river. I feel special that such an awkward boner occurred in my hometown. ^_^
The boner isn’t but those are some nice abs he’s packin.
great abs!
I hope that doesn’t create a drag. It might slow him down in competition
It is a boner. I’m surprised it was able to stand out through the suit and his jockstrap.
