The shorts or the dogs?
Been underwear free since 1994 and i’ve never looked back. When I absolutely MUST wear them, I prefer a japanese style loin wrap; it allows for all waist size/genitalia size combinations.
I am a brief man. ANd let me say that briefs is not the same as the old “tighty whities.” They are colored. I don’t wear thongs or anything too revealing or small. They don’t ride up on me. I just like the extra “support”. I don’t understand how someone can wear boxers. Having “my boys” just hanging out down there, moving around so much just creeps me out, personally. However, I have nothing against people who wear boxers. I just can’t do it. I have tried and it is weird. And I don’t have extensive conversations about this with just anyone, but I have discussed it with my old college roommate (we lived together for four years…it does come up) and he feels the same way I do. Needs the support down there.
The one thing that REALLY makes me think less of a guy is if they wear NO UNDERWEAR. I think Seinfeld put it best when he said that no gadgets with interlocking teeth should be coming anywhere near someones exposed genitals.
Now women who don't wear underwear, that is just sexy.I just wanted to announce that today, after hearing their praises sung by many respected members of the SDMB, I am wearing boxer briefs for the first time.

I feel that wearing boxers is kind of creepy. I sleep in them, and I tried wearing them during the day a few times, and I very much disliked the feeling of my “boys hang[ing] low.”
I’m aware of the general attitude that briefs are for little boys and boxers are for “real men”, which only makes me resent boxers even more.
My mother dressed me in briefs when I was a tot, and my dad always wore briefs, so there were no boxers around the house when I was a kid, and consequently I didn’t even know what they were until high school. I was always perplexed by cartoons in which a character gets his pants ripped off and is left standing there wearing polka-dot shorts, which he promptly attempts to cover up. I used to wonder why guys in cartoons were always wearing shorts under their pants, and why they were embarassed to be seen in shorts. Heck, normal people wear shorts in public all the time!
I try to avoid sleeping with men who wear tighty whities. I don’t know why, but they just creep me out.
I prefer boxers or nothing on guys, personally.
I seem to have a bit of everything in my underwear drawer. The boxers get used in the summer for lounging around the house. For some reason I have always felt a little silly walking around the house in my briefs (ALWAYS colored) without a t-shirt. My SO has purchased some underwear, which was thought to be sexy. These purchases have included bikinis and the occasional thong.
I must admit that wearing the thong was not half as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. I do not wear it during a normal day, just if a little roll in the hay is planned.

I think that one must make the decision based on comfort. I happen to prefer everything held together and close to the body.
Heck,I wear boxers over my underwear.
Someof my pants are lowish, and I do not like to expose my navel,so boxers make up the slack as far as being up to my waist.
Its cool,because even if I took my pants off,I’d still not be exposed.
I wear welterweights. It is kinda creepy I guess. I feel kinda like that “Silence of the lambs” guy, only more muscley.
Times have changed. I wore boxers back in the 70s and got teased mercilessly in phys ed because no one, I mean no one, wore them except folks’ grandpas. Or so I was told. They were old fogey undies.
As I got older I didn’t like the looseness and lack of support and swapped.

To bikini undies.

I don’t find it “creepy” that guys wear tighty whities, but I find it kind of odd.
I think people that wear them are more conservative, not necessarily politically, but rather the kind of folks who don’t sleep naked and only have sex with the lights off and keep their desks real neat.
I feel so bound up in them. I wear them to the gym just to keep it all from flopping around. That’s all they are to me - a genital constriction device.
As it is, I prefer the feeling of dangling, and actually have an (irrational?) fear that keeping it all bound up will keep it smaller and less able to perform. I thought that your balls dangled like that to keep them at a temperature lower than body temperature. Wouldn’t tighty whities tend to offset what nature intends to do.
Welterweights?
It’s a pun. Smallish pugilists.
The one thing that I remember about wearing boxers is that I spent an inordinate amount of time adjusting things for comfort.
I used to think of them as motel underwear
wait for it…
They had no ballroom.
I just hate boxers cause of the lack of support. Butch and Sundance hang kinda low, and I hate it when I keep having to fish them out of the pant leg before the get crushed when I take too big a step and tighten the pants fabric up. And forget commando, ten minutes and I get a rubbing irritation.
Butch and Sundance?!?
Oh dear.
can’t stop laughing
I like boxers, and boxer-briefs. Both are sexy, IMHO.
I see nothing creepy about either those or jocks.
I do wear jocks most of the time because my packy tends to fall out of the leg of my boxers/boxer briefs unless i safety-pin it in there, which isn’t an optimal situation, obviously.
