Alright ladies, give me your real opinion about tidy whiteys.

[LostInAnomie]

I know you have something to say on the subject.

[Sanity Claws]

1. They are better than boxers at showing off one's endowment.

[flvegan]

2. If that's the goal, go commando.

I do, since that's MY goal.

Okay, maybe not.

[ForrestGump]

9. I never understood how people wear boxers as underwear

Floppy, unsupportive things that they are. Great for sleeping in, or for lounging around the house in, but when I tried to wear them as underwear (when I've been sick and had to go out but didn't want to get out of my boxer-equipped PJs, or when I accidentally underestimated the extent of my underwear collection and ran out) it felt like I was wearing a pair of shorts under another pair of trousers. Weird feeling. Does anyone on this planet, other than American men, wear boxers as underwear?

I've got briefs -- tighty whitey kind, though in the last couple of years I've switched back to the colored kind (my wife preferred basic white, but she NO LONGER CONTROLS MY UNDERWEAR!!! HA HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!) and stocked up on boxer briefs. I like boxer briefs a lot, because they're like the best of both worlds and are similar cut to the dive and surf shorts I've worn as well as to the bicycle shorts I used to favor and the skintight UnderArmour shorts I wear now under revealing clothing.

I used to wear what would perhaps be called bikini briefs, the scanty European kinda thing that I grew up with, and only stopped when I met my future-and-once wife who had no cultural paradigm that fit my racy leopard-print (well, I had ONE leopard-print pair) knickers and couldn't wait 'til I wore them to oblivion and failed to find replacements at Target and so on.

I like boxer briefs, but they were unquestionably the sexier kind...not sure if they still would be, two decades on, and the synthetic material and skimpy fit may be less comfortable than briefs or boxer briefs, but I still miss 'em. They were kinda like this:



But perhaps just a little tony bit skimpier. Not THIS skimpy, though:



:o

11. One word about boxers as underwear: VENTILATION

And I've seen one of those UnderGear catalogs before, too. Little bit scary.

[ForrestGump]

23. LITTLE bit scary? :o

It's like trying to run through a banana plantation, flipping through those kinda things.

I guess ventilation makes sense, but I'd rather less bulk and more support (I still recall exactly the pain of 21 years ago when I decided to run my nightly ten miles with no underwear, just the two flaps of nylon that were my Adidas running shorts...it was like The Night Of A Thousand Groin Kicks).

[leftofthedial]

40. another word about boxers as underwear: SPERM PRODUCTION

okay, so it's two words, or maybe millions of words, but you need the temperature down there to be lower than body temp, or the 'nads might as well be decorative.

Of course, yours might be decorative . . .

[ForrestGump]

42. Yeah, mine might as well be decorative

And I even added glitter for the holiday season. :D

I won't tell anyone where I placed the mistletoe. I want it to be a surprise.

I guess, when the time comes to be Daddy Gump, I'll switch to boxers, mesh, or nothing if I keep doing my duty and my parter proves impregnable. In the meantime, I'd be happy for the practice. :-)

[leftofthedial]

45. divorced after 28 years of marriage, imagine my surprise

when I learned that she didn't break my heart

but she sure busted my balls.

[kick-ass-bob]

50. I never had any problem with that.

briefs since childhood, child production right when wanted (even a little before!!) :o

[RevCheesehead]

12. It's like you read my mind....

when I was thinking "Pictures?"

THANK YOU!!! :bounce::bounce:

[ForrestGump]

24. Let's sing, all together now: If I could read your mind, love

Then you're in real trouble. :D

[crispini]

14. Warm in here, isn't it?

What? Did you say something?

[ForrestGump]

25. Never mind me...

Just flipping through my International Male catalog.

Aaaahhh!!!!

[crispini]

27. WHAT THE ----!!!!!

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[kick-ass-bob]

51. Holy shit, man! PUT UP A WARNING!!

(view all is not your friend in this thread!)

[last_texas_dem]

26. I agree

I'd just as soon go commando instead of wearing boxers as underwear. Boxers seem to provide a comparable level of support to just going without. I just don't like that flapping-in-the breeze feeling.

To each his own, though, especially when it comes to something as personal as underwear!

[hfojvt]

31. sometimes they are worn for medical reasons

You may not remember from biology, the reason the tentacles are separate from the body is that they need to be kept cool. If they get too warm, it kills the little wriggly thingies. Thus, if undies are too tight sometimes men have trouble making little slobbering copies of themselves. OTOH, religious couple might consider jockey shorts as a method of contraception that the church leaders can't complain about.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

41. Tentacles????

If you've got tentacles down there, you've got a bigger problem than immotile sperm! :rofl:

[ForrestGump]

43. :D

I knew there was something different about him. Couldn't put my finger on it. :P

[hfojvt]

46. Keep your finger away from there lad

I don't swing that way.
Of course, I don't swing at all, although I do climb trees. I did swing once when my foot slipped, but it was very quick and painful as I slammed into a tree just like my hero George of the Jungle.
I could not resist the 'tentacles' line because of the autobiographical movie "Better Off Dead" and because there are certain words, at least seven of them, according to George Carlin, that you do not type in public.

[kick-ass-bob]

49. Finally! I though I was the only one here

"shorts under the pants" - I agree completely. Just can't do it.

[hobo_baggins]

3. i think its tighty whiteys

[DS1]

10. that's what I always thought

Americans just don't say their Ts right

[ForrestGump]

44. Just

[mainegreen]

4. better than *dirty* whities! nt

[mcscajun]

5. So long as you take 'em off slow...who cares?

:)

[dpbrown]

29. V....e.....r.. .....y S......l.. .....o........w.... ...l.........y

:wow:

[LeftyMom]

6. They aren't very forgiving.

For every guy who looks good in them there are legions who don't. Also they tend to look ratty really fast. They do tend to emphasize the junk a bit, but to impress a girl the best bet is to take the underpants off.

Now boxer briefs? :9 They're damn sexy on many body types.

[sendero]

7. You know ..

... WAY TOO MUCH about this :)

[hippywife]

8. I second boxer briefs! n/t

[flvegan]

13. Thank goddess.

Boxer briefs is how I keep the biscuits in place.

Glad you like 'em.

[LeftyMom]

16. Stop being so perfect for me, damn it!

:loveya:

[flvegan]

20. Sorry.

I am what I am.

[LeftyMom]

21. I'll do my best to cope.

;)

[calico1]

15. Don't like them. I prefer the look of boxer briefs. n/t

[RevCheesehead]

17. I love the look of Boxer Briefs..

God, I could spend all day lookin' at that!

[ForrestGump]

32. In that case, enjoy!

:D

[RevCheesehead]

34. Oh my heavens.....

So, Forrest... read any good books lately? :loveya:

[ForrestGump]

38. Just the "International Male" catalog. It's

fabul...really interesting.

Please, nobody spoil the ending for me...



Padded Butt Brief
Now in new colors! Silhouette enhancing
underwear with a slightly padded backside.
By Go Softwear. Full back. Hand wash

[In_The_Wind]

52. No!

Now I'll have to wonder - is it real ...

[tjdee]

18. No. Seriously.

That's all I have to say about that.

[MissMillie]

19. As long as they're clean and fit well, I don't care

seriously.

I wear white cotton undies too. They're comfortable, don't ride up my crack and don't show a pattern when worn under white clothing. No itchy lace, no underwires.

so what if they're not sexy.

[Missy Vixen]

37. Real women wear Jockey for Her

I'm just saying.

:blush:

Julie

[Texasgal]

22. ...

:puke:

That's what I think...

[dpbrown]

28. I thought it was "tightie"

Shows what I know.

:silly:

[Lex]

30. I thought it was "tighty"

:shrug:

[lwbaby]

33. Tighty whites

are a pita to wash.

Boxers are way more forgiving.

[scarlet_owl]

35. I don't like them. I prefer boxer shorts.

[xmas74]

36. boxer briefs.

I've bought them for all of my (ex)boyfriends. I like the look.

[RevCheesehead]

39. I want to know what California Peggy thinks.

Surely, I'm not alone on this, am I?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. OK, my dear Rev, you want to know what I think?

I'm in favor of boxers......that's what my husband wears!


And he had no problem getting me pregnant.......many many years ago...
:blush:

But everyone should really wear what works for them in particular....

After all, this is America!

Freedom of choice, I say!

[donheld]

47. Tidy whitey's, Boxers, Thongs, Boxer briefs; they all look best

when around the ankles. :evilgrin::woohoo:
