LOL...I often wondered about that myself. I can't stand going commando, especially in jeans. It feels funny. Boxer briefs have the fit I like but don't look as awful as tighty whiteys. Boxers don't fit right after the waistband goes all wonky...
Personally, I like a brief of sorts that supports...too much of my formal years spent in boxers, if you know what I mean. For some reason the skimpier the briefs are, the less it feels like I'm wearing something...but I find myself "freeballing" on my days off, regardless of jeans, sweats, etc. Call me a hippie, if that's what that means.
White briefs are my normal under-attire. I've tried boxers, but I discovered that I need to wear loose pants with those.
i love these camping boxers that i got at REI. I checked other, because altho they are boxers they are made out of this really cool wicking material. its really comfortable, light, never baggy, doesnt bunch up, and if i get a little sweaty it wicks away the moisture and really lets the boys breathe.
boxers cons- bunch, no support, noticable erection briefs con- low sperm count, often more "uncool" i like briefs but i feel embarrassed being a young kid buying briefs. so i usually go with boxers. but recently i bought some boxer briefs and i like them cuse no bunching. "my boys need a home" by cramer of signfeild refering to his genitals and briefs (briefs = home).
boxers are sexy! specially fun boxers.. i love them, love them. Nothing sexier that when a guy bends over and his jeans are falling down and you see his boxers showing... and its you know a cool print.. awww im melting.
Mrs. Alaskan bought me some silk boxers awhile back. Fit great, felt great, sexy. I had a business trip down to America, I was dressed nice, including a nice silk shirt. Warning ... Silk boxers and silk shirt don't work. Couldn't keep my shirt tails tucked in. Opted for a pair of cotton boxers, saved the day..... ....................Dennis............Alaskan.............
My history is like so: I always did wear briefs, then a bunch of my friends said that once your switched to boxers, you'd never go back. I got a hold of some boxers, and found myself much more comfortable in them, feeling less restricted or 'tied down." Then, very recently, I was running in very cold weather in running shorts that didn't provide enough protection from the cold affecting my penis. It hurt, and I bought some briefs, and now I wear those all the time, except in bed at night. Boring story, I know.
I believe it may be a reference to Scottish soldiers. They wore kilts in battle through World War I and in the beginning of World War II and as you can probably imagine they had no undies. If you can't imagine then maybe this will help: I am assuming that the phrase "going commando" refers to this. I prefer boxers when I'm wearing jeans. Commando when I'm wearing anything else.
Boxers all the way. I like to, how can I put this, 'breathe'. I refer to most other types of drawers as 'Bollock Stranglers' due to restriction.
