My supervisor at work, Jon, tends to wear quite tight trousers and unfortunately, they are so tight it spilts his sparrow eggs (testicles) in two. Also, they're so tight, I can tell exactly what size he is, and what side he dresses on. It's really getting me down that I'm having to look at this five days a week. Is there anybody out there who's quite well endowed who can advise on how to wear trousers so I can advise him in a subtle fashion? Plus any messages of support or simialr experiences welcome.

Say, "Jon, I think you are outgrowing your pants"
Jon, your nuts are showing
Jon, your nuts and bolt are suffocating.
Jon, if you want children, don't suffocate your apparatus
Seriously, Jon, you know who you are.......get bigger pants ok. Spare you dear subordinates the ordeal everyday.

Casually bring up in conversation that some WOMEN wear trousers that are very tight around their crotch, and you find it indecent. Come up with some kind of anecdote that this woman on your way in this morning was wearing indecently tight trousers. Say you were embarassed for her. Progress the conversation to males. Say it must be more uncomfortable for men, espcially if they're well endowed, and mention that besides, it's better for men to wear loose fitting undies and trousers right? For sperm count and all... Look to him for confirmation.
Keep conversation light and chatty but express an opinion strongly. Using a female example to start makes it look less like an attack. If he doesn't take notice and change you may have to broach the situation another, more direct, way.

There is a sure fire way that always seems to do the trick for me. People start conversations about shopping or something and then tell the things that they like or don't like quite innocently usually people take hints.
So in your case you could start a conversation about a pair of trousers you really want but how you could not have them because they are not the right size. Say something like you so wanted them that you squeezed yourself into them and they were so tight that.............. Say how uncomfortable that was etc. If he is a person who thinks about stuff it might just ring a bell and he might change his ways.
It is g8 when people share their ideas and outlook with others that's the only way we can learn and be better. But if others do not tell us when we are in the wrong we don't know and we just carry on down slope.

Approach the subject very carefully if you decide to... I've been on the receiving end of personal body part comments. I have a cyst in my left breast that gets swollen during hormonal cycle fluctuations, it doesn't swell enough to be REALLY obvious but it can look funny sometimes and will cause my left breast to be a bit larger than my right and "spill over". I was wearing a thin-ish sweater, not too v-necked or tight, but apparently my (male) boss somehow noticed the "spill" and made what I found to be a very rude comment about buying bras that fit properly. To which I simply replied "Maybe you shouldn't be looking since your comment has now placed you in a very very sensitive position. Additionally you have my notice as I don't feel it necessary to discuss private medical problems with you."

Oh dear that's not a pretty sight but I'm afraid it's not your place to say anything. the only thing you can do is have a discreet word with his superior about dress code and thn he might sort Jon out for you.
Until then try to stand up when he comes to talk to you so you can easily avoid looking down and if possible, move so that there is a desk between you and Jon and you can't see anything.

Please do not say anything to him, its embarrasing. Rather you can try this thing that just gift him a nice pair of trousers. You can always think about it that you want to give him by yourself or by someone else or by courier to his house without telling him who has sent it. Just let him think, this might change him............and whenever he asks you about this thing just tell him that loose trousers are IN and tight ones are very old fashioned.
But please do not take innitiative to discuss it first. Be creative, there could be some more ideas to make him think upon this issue.

First, it is his human right to wear anything he wants. Secondly, if you know what it looks like why are you staring at it 5 days a week. I assume if you move your feet you can turn 360 degrees ? That is a lot of different directions to look in !

Find an article off the internet that describes someone wiht a similar problem as yours. Print it out and slip it under his door anonymously.

*snort* I would just enjoy the free leave to make jokes about it. With things like war on almost every continent, you're gonna worry about someone's pants being overly tight? I guess different things distress different people.
