Briefs as a kid, switched to boxers as a teen, got a bad case of chafing once and bought some boxer briefs to give me a divider. I’ve alternated ever since. Wearing the boxer briefs more since the vasectomy, since excessive movement down there is still very unpleasant even 3 months later.
Briefs as a kid, boxers ever since high school.
Good point – after some time and stretching (and you all know the stereotype of how long we dudes hang on to a pair of underpants), a well-worn pair of boxerbriefs turns into boxers for practical purposes. That’s when you know it’s time to replace.
Was a briefs man for a majority of my life until I was asked if I would not be interested in a change by the person that at the time would most frequently see me in nothing but them. Amazingly for usually hint-disabled me, I immediately understood that the message was that *she *was interested in seeing me in something else. And whaddya know I liked the change, and so this current century it has been mostly B-B’s.
I’d prefer Boxters.
Even used.
I’m 37 and switched from briefs to boxers in high school, so about 20 years of 100% boxers with no problems. I did probably switch after my sports days were over and I don’t play sports regularly now but I have on occasion. I’ve also ran, hiked, biked, worked physically 40 hours a week and everything else for 20 years with no problem.
I honestly don’t understand what people mean by needing “support.” I guess it happens, but I’ve never once been aware of my balls flopping around and never once felt like I needed anything more from my underwear. I’ve also never had a problem with them bunching up as some people have mentioned, it may be because I wear thin boxers with short legs like these. Longer thicker boxers seem like they probably would bunch up.
I think the opposite. To me they look a little silly, like tighty-whiteys with legs.
IME they seem to be appreciated by some appreciable minority, at least, of the gay community. And I’m being cautious there–my actual experience is that I seem to be the only person who both owns and fancies the occasional cock who isn’t set to salivating by the things.
No kidding. I can’t see how anyone can find boxers comfortable. When I tried them that’s exactly how they felt - like I was wearing shorts or swim trunks under my pants. And they look dorky as hell, like when someone gets pantsed in a G rated comedy.
Strictly briefs here.
I can at least intellectually grasp why some men like to wear boxers, though I’ll never be one of them. But I really can’t understand boxer briefs, for one simple reason: why on earth would I want to wear underwear on my legs? My legs don’t need underwear.
The good ones do have pouches.
Most guys I have spoken with are converts after the first time they wear boxer briefs. I have never met a woman who does not prefer them.
Never tried boxers. Used to wear briefs for like the first half of my life (so far) until one day a pack I bought came with a free pair of boxer briefs. Switched to those permanently, as I realized I no longer got chafing on hot days like I would with the briefs.
Same here about boxer briefs, except that I went back to the briefs side of the Force.
My husband prefers Jockey boxer-briefs. Once they start to sag in the ass, I throw them out.
The problem I have with boxers is that I have a tendency to occasionally bend over at just the right angle and end up crunching a nut :eek:
I grew up with briefs, but now I find myself going for boxer briefs. They provide an adequate amount of jiggle suppression while still being comfortable.
I’m almost positive that you mean the underwear… 
Boxers, my boys like the freedom. As for those who say they are like wearing shorts, I get thin cotton boxers, not thick ones.
My son (age 9) recently made the switch from “tighty-whitey” briefs to boxer briefs and confided in me that he likes the way they feel, and they don’t ever give him a wedgie. 
He now gives disdainful looks to his younger bro’s briefs when he’s helping with the laundry.
If they ever make a mainstream female version of the boxer brief, I’ll have to give them a try!
