I don’t get you tighty-whitey boys. How can you sit still all constricted and bound up like that. Not to mention the ridding up the ole kiester. Boxers and Boxer briefs are a absolute god send. One word of advice to any converts, get the best! Even more important than when discussing briefs. $15 a pair is a reasonable price, so laides quit stealing the damn things their expensive!. The biggest up side, other than the testes liberation, is that the fly is actually useful. If you get cheap boxers however you can count on your sausage rubbing up and down the zipper like a cheese grater because the cheapies don’t have good buttons. As for you girls, I’ve been the impetus for three womens complete conversion to total thong dependance. All squirel covers ride up on women, thongs simply have less material and therefore are less annoying. Thongs stay where you put them and the girls just forget about them, so after that week of wanting to yank 'em out of your crack you’ll realize that they are much less troublesome. Not to mention that oh so sexy feeling that women should have when wearing them. Here it is critical to get a pair that fit, period. Shirley, you try on underware??? Remind me not to shop at that store anymore. As much as I like a worn pair of satin thongs, the idea of a rack or drawers that were tried on and found to be **too tight** on a bunch of customers is less than appealing. Do you put them on and jog around the store to test the fit, kinda like a new pair of sneakers? Do you model them for your girlfriends? Do they have full length mirrors? Where do they put that ink cartrige to prevent shoplifting? ---

Buttons? My wintertime pyjamas have one button, and that’s already too much trouble.I’ll never figure out boxers. There was one boxing match I watched where a guy’s jock strap fell out of his boxers. He was in trouble after that. Nickerz: wear a jock strap plus briefs?The briefs could then be a little loose. ---

My SO is the only man in the universe who looks good in bikinis. Somehow, they don’t look gay on him like they do on the other guys I’ve seen in them. (It helps that he is a big hairy guy.) My question is, why CAN’T men throw away underwear when it gets holes in it? The aforementioned SO told me that it’s because every pair they throw away is one less day that they can go without doing laundry, but hasn’t the idea of BUYING SOME NEW UNDERWEAR ever crossed any of y’all’s minds? Just wondering. ---

Stella, Stella, you poor, delusional woman ;), you’ll never understand men. How can you possible truly understand a man’s distaste for doing laundry, and yet, be totally clueless to his equal disdain for shopping? And while I’ll take your word that your big, hairy man doesn’t look _gay_ in a bikini (obviously, you’ve never been to South Beach), I’ll have to question your opinion that your big hairy man looks _good_ in a bikini. Peace. ---

> [@](#): > > I’m afraid of those… whatd’yuh callums… boxer briefs? Don’t the legs ride up and bunch around yer thighs like parasitic cloth donuts? That’s all I need. Nah, not if you find the right ones… [/quote] 1. You boxer guys are nuts. Yer boys are always cold and your lower sperm count will eventually skim you from the gene pool. [quote] I always thought that the reverse was true. The only way I’ll be convinced of your theory is if Unca Cecil backs it up. The key here is that ‘the boys’ are mighty particular about their temperature (not unlike some female automobile passengers.) IOW, they are forever either to hot or to cold and always want to adjust the temperature either up or down. ---

Knickrz- > [@](#): > > Yer boys are always cold and your lower sperm count will eventually skim you from the gene pool. Add my name to the list of those who believe you have that backwards, but add also that overheating the family jewels tends to lead to male cancer of a particularly masculine sort, IYKWIM. So it’s not only wriggler headcount, but also life expectancy, it seems. It’s them men that’s recreating and procreating into their 90s and beyond as stand the best chance of filling the gene sea, non? You ladies feel free to second that.
