Static shock from dressing gown

A painful problem after a comfortable experience

I was recently gifted some new bedroom attire in the form of a dressing gown. It is of the man-made, extremely soft fleece variety and is very comfortable next to the skin with none of the harshness that cotton can have. I enjoy wearing it immensely, however when I take it off I frequently get electric shocks from the static build up. These are normally a minor inconvenience, nothing to a hardy gentleman of my nature, however if I am naked underneath I get a shock right on the end of my John Thomas.  This I find less tolerable.

How may I alleviate this problem?

    Touching the bare metal of a radiator pipe is the perceived wisdom to rid yourself of static build-up before touching sensitive electrical components. Perhaps this might benefit your sensitive component?

    Hmm, you could attach a length of wire to the back of the dressing gown, allowing it to earth as you walk around.
    I recently got a cotton one as a present - it is great and does not build static.

Provide common sense...

A dodo. Well known for its common sense.
