I've always been a briefs kind of guy, but now that I'm past 40, I'm considering trying boxers.

For any of you that have used both, which do you like better? Why?

Briefs.
1) I have never been able to sleep in pyjamas, and boxers are the start of that.

2) Testicles usually 'hang' one a bit below the other. There is a good reason for that. Any guy who ever 'crushed' his jewels between his thighs will recognize that having them out of the way is a good idea. Crushing one's jewels between one's thighs gives a whole new meaning to the word "ouch". Briefs prevent that when one is asleep.

3) If I wore boxers, I'd figure I was wearing someone else's shorts, and that just wouldn't do.

4) For any of you guys who are going to say you wear boxers so that Mr Happy doesn't show when you walk around the house--I have heard that one before. My advice is to fold it in two or tie it in a knot. Duct tape works well.

5) Mr Loom (from the Fruit of company) has had me hooked on briefs since I was a kid.

6) I don't like the 'tangled' feeling I get from boxers. I toss and turn frequently when I sleep, and boxers make me feel like I'm being gift wrapped or something strange like that.

7) One can easily used permanent marker to put cute expression on one's rear end. I always go with LEFT RIGHT.

8) It is a kindness one can extend to people with whom one wishes to be rude. For example, I have told a few folks in my time to "Eat my shorts!" No one has yet taken me up on the offer, but there is less material on briefs, and in the unlikely event anyone decides to do it, I wouldn't want to be responsible for a choking death.

9) The elastic band will make a good fan belt to get one to the nearest gas station should an emergency arise.

Probably more than you wanted to know Mr Stan Field.

Do you always sleep with your underwear on? When do you give everything a chance to 'air out'? If you get tangled, just take em off. Since when do people wear their underwear to bed? It must be very uncomfortable.

what is it about Indians and winding cloth.. saris, turbans, lungotas.. as time flows through that ancient kingdom, as philosphies weave in and out of centuries, the lungota winds back and forward past, over and under the sacred jewels of Krishna.

Now I KNOW I have too much time on my hands! I actually read about half of this thread!!!

And worse than that, I'm posting to it!!!

My father wore boxers. I have a hard time envisioning someone else in them and thinking sexy thoughts, which is a shame because I really like the look of boxers on men.

For me, I've just always been glad that all my organs are well protected inside a very friendly flap. I can't imagine what it would be like to have to deal with the dangle every day of my life. How can you ever ignore it? You can't, which is why most guys don't.

Now, the cod piece was an interesting item of clothing, having nothing whatsoever to do with what was really in the package itself. One could be as imaginative as one wished, and I can only imagine the look of chagrin on some poor maid's face when she watched her soon-to-be lover sans piece, and avec oil wick. What a let down!

So, now to be brief..hehehe...I want more men to wear THONGS! It's only right that you should have to experience them for yourselves, before gleefully buying them for your lady friends.

Nuff said...I think pics of you all in your favorites would soon settle this debate...at least for me!

The looks and 'design' at TopDrawer are fine....very pretty, I guess, especially when modeled by 20 yr. old guys who are chosen for their body. (Yep, I know...ladies underwear is usually marketed the same way.)....But I still maintain that the old diagonal flap is awkward and I suspect, seldom used. The basic Munsingwear horizontal flap seemed to me a 78.324% improvement when I discovered it about 8-9 yrs. ago, so that's what I use. I suppose the type of flap and preference for boxer or briefs ot 'other' could well depend on body type. I am fortunate that I am still relatively slender...(though I'd sure never get a job modeling where they needed those garments filled out well...*grin*...'ol average, that's me.)

(brucie...I have never 'quite' understood the naming of parts. Perhaps I just never met anyone who needed a 'formal' introduction...*grin*)

Ellenpoly---"...deal with the dangle every day of my life. How can you ever ignore it? "
*shrug*...it isn't a matter of 'ignoring', it is just getting used to and coping, like breasts, maybe. In certain sports, protection is required, but riding a bike is not really a problem, or they wouldn't DO it for 3 weeks in the Tour de France!
Men & women have different concerns & problems...and different advantages, and I am sure glad I live in an age where technology produces underwear specifically engineered for the variations!

My girlfriend's oldest son was playing a game of road hockey a few winters back and after he came in the house, began to experience a lot of pain, scrotewise.

Rushed him to Emerg to see the on-call doc, who informed him he had suffered a torsion of the testicle. The boy was wearing boxers while playing and the doctor laid the blame there... not enough support.

She manipulated his nut back into the proper alignment (pretty good for not being an owner/operator) and advised a couple days of "taking it easy". He was in way too much pain to be titillated by the reality of the young attractive lady doctor being so attentive to his junk.

He now wears boxer briefs.

So do I.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but the natural biproduct of REM sleep for me is the condition of Dr. Jekyll becoming Mr. Impossible-to-Hyde. Underwear of any kind becomes far too confining, several times a night in fact.

Many years ago, I modeled for an art class at my university. (They usually used women, as the students considered men too 'easy' to draw)

Women were allowed to model nude, but men were expected to wear some minimal covering, so I got the smallet 'posing brief' I could find...almost a thong.
Never again...uncomfortable and, as Kim C says, silly. (and I felt more exposed than if I had been naked!)

Little Hawk, I live in Hinton, Alberta. It is a town of 10,000 people. No doubt I will now be the brunt of unkind and cruel jokes. Ladies, don't let the guys get away with it. If you are over the age of 30, remember that Canadians--even those who have reached my age (92)--have a long usefulness. Mostly because we spend 10 months of the year frozen, so we don't show our age. In fact, Canadian men always assumed that Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" was written specifically for us. And, it is a generally accepted fact of Canadian life that women in Canada never get older in body than 29. They are sprightly, attractive and vivacious--just the way it is. In fact, Canadian men do NOT perceive any woman in the world to look older than 29--with the possible exception of Margaret Thatcher. Ain't that true guys? Yep. Knew you'd agree. So, ladies, help the old boy out, will ya?

The old what if there was a fire thing was always confusing to me. If I wake up and have to get out of the house so quickly that I can't grab any garment - my nudity wouldn't be my highest priority. Also, my feet are tender - if you gave me a choice between pants or shoes as I was running out the door to spend a few hours, I'd opt for the shoes - first of all, firemen always have blankets, but rarely ever shoes.

Thongs are one of those things me invented because they look sexy on skinny women. Anything else positive about them is purely coincidental.

Ever notice that one ball hangs lower than the other (usually the right)? It's to help make sure that they don't squeeze together and get hurt when you close your legs.

Is someone going to start a thread like this for ladies (or maybe women, ladies may not post to a similar thread)?

especially after they've been washed & worn a few times. The faded yellow, the worn threads - pedestrian, totally utilitarian and just plain ugly.

What I've never understood is why here in the UK, if you talk about "pants" they think you mean "underpants". Now it seems to me that if one MEANT underpants, they would have SAID underpants!

All of which has also led to a rather wonderful expression here as well, if something is just crap (as in bad), it's referred to as "pants".

DONALD WHERE'S YOUR TROUSERS

1. I just got in from the Isle of Skye
I'm not very big and I'm awfully shy
the ladies shout as I go by--
Donald where's your trousers.

Chorus:
Let the winds blow high,
Let the winds blow low,
down the street in my kilt I go --
And all the ladies say hello--
Donald where's your trousers

2. A lady took me to a ball
And it was slippery in the hall
I was afraid that I would fall
'cause I didn't have on my trousers

3. They'd like to wed me everyone
Just let them catch me if they can --
You canna put the brakes on a highland man
Who doesn't like wearing trousers.

4. To wear the kilt is my delight,
It isn't wrong, I know it's right.
The highlanders would get afright
If they saw me in trousers.

5. Well I caught a cold and me nose was raw
I had no handkerchief at all
So I hiked up my kilt and I gave it a blow,
Now you can't do that with trousers.

I am battin' about ten percent in terms of picking winners, and I just bet $20 with Greg that Bush loses in November (assuming he allows an election to take place). Jimmy the Grrek should see me before he establishes odds. Find out which way I'm voting and give ten to one for the other guy/gal. However, for ten seconds or so I run the country, province or city/town. Love it. I get to be the boss of the whole thing for ten seconds, and it always restores my faith in democracy. However, I do bitch at times. I am reminded of the evening a good friend from California called at 2:00 AM to inform me of Nixon's victory. My buddy was sh#tfaced. He said, "Well, once again the American people get what they deserve. But why do I have to keep getting what they deserve? (He and I had both worked hard for Eugene McCarthy.) Later.

Brucie - I think you ought to post a picture at least - I'd love to see what a Bill Shatner fan looks like.

jacqi - there's all sorts of pictures of Bill Shatner fans in the picture pages. Take a look at mine, for instance.

Bruce - you know you don't have to be honest in you bio.

That means I could leave out the little incident with the sheep?

No incident with a sheep is "little"

I think the sheep need to be mentioned, brucie.

By the by, I'm yet another William Shatner fan, jacqui. He took it upon himself, without my express permission, to channel quite a variety of posts through me about a month ago.

He finally called it quits, and I have it on good authority that you can now hear him via Little Hawk.

because of an accident - that involved a lot of wetness I had to change to boxers today. As a kid I had to wear the old fashioned equivalent and rejoiced in the Jockey briefs, because they were comfortable.
As an engineer - I can reason why now. Boxers are a fashion statement. I prefer functionality. I have no boxers in my wardrobe.


I fell in a swollen stream whilst trying to help Joy with her flooded house - that's why.

I don't like wearing boxer shorts, I mean it's like going to bed with your clothes on

Men can only imagine but a parallel can surely be drawn with womens' bras. Comfort is the watchword. But it takes all sorts.

oops i thought that message posted a few messages back said
"Well, I haven't changed mine in 4 years. "
i am glad that it did not say that...

hey, there is not an option to "go commando" listed here.
that was a fashion i learned about in another thread...
about kilts, perhaps? or sporran?

it seems that boxers are usually woven
and briefs would be more likely to be knit.

i would vote for fabric that is soft and stretchy...
that would usually be knit fabrics..
