You might want to invest in new furniture.
Anyway, yeah, boxer-briefs. I don’t see how you can wear anything else.

going commando just doesn’t seem as cool and sexy now that I’m 36 as it was when I was 26

My boyfriend’s about to turn 36 and I still find it sexy when he goes commando. Not necessarily cool, but sexy.

Another vote for boxer-briefs. Mr. Stuff wore tighty whities until we were married. I expressed the yech I feel toward them, and he was open to trying something else, although he had tried and hated boxers. Boxer-briefs it is. Love 'em (both of us).

The missus thinks it’s sexy, too (after the initial incredulous “Why?” When I tell her I’m freeballin’ it. Thing is, I work an hour away, so there’s really no chance of a random nooner. So it seems pretty pointless. Plus, I’m in my office all day with my door shut, so the only people I have any interaction with during the day are you folks on the SDMB, and there’s only so many variations on the ol’ “I’m not wearing any underpants” Thread, and a 36-year-old man generates less interest with that than a 19-year-old hottie-chick. Bah.
I’ll go commando for old time’s sake tomorrow and report my “findings”.

Wow. That’s a whole lot of banana hammocks.

So, we’ll recognize the thread from the aforementioned title? 
Errr… as a devotee, these days, of the boxer shorts, I find myself wondering: What exactly it that makes boxer-briefs more appealing than tighty-whities? Fit-wise, at least where it counts, they’re the same exact thing, but with more fabric on the legs. I don’t get it! I’ve tried 'em once and thought they felt rather odd. If I wanted the extra support (as I occasionally do) I’d just go with the briefs.
Enlighten me, please?

I think everyone would get angry if I opened another thread about my underpants (or lack thereof). Just wouldn’t be prudent. 
I’ll just stick with this here thread.

The boxerbriefs don’t strangle yer balls like TWs do, but you don’t flop around like with boxers. It’s really the best of both worlds.

Damn! Those are hot! But wouldn’t the zipper pssibly cause an issue?

In addition to Winston’s take, the extra fabric down the legs helps to keep them more firmly in place, thus avoiding the uncomfortable sensation experienced when your TWs attempt to snuggle into your butt crack. Although I am sure there are those who really don’t mind the sensation of having a cotton convention in the immediate vicinity of their sphinchter, for me this is an event best avoided.

They’re quite a bit more grown-up looking than briefs. I would probably laugh if I went home with a guy and found out he was wearing tighty whities. They’re little boy underwear, in my opinion.
Will nobody join me in defending the honor of TW wearers? TWs look the way men’s underwear is supposed to look- plain and white. Boxers are too loose and the fly allows the hair to come out and get stuck in the zipper- not a good thing.
According to a piece in this morning’s Times, the contents of male underpants could be an endangered species:
Sydney - A man caught at the airport with six eggs from endangered species hidden in his underwear was fined A$25,000 (£10,300). Wayne Floyd was about to fly to Bangkok when a customs officer noticed a suspicious bulge. A judge rejected his claim that he wanted to surprise his girlfriend.
TWs are just inherently unsexy.
Boxers are very sexy, followed by boxer-briefs. Something about TWs screams to me ‘this is wrong.’

I occasionally have to remind myself that I’m not legally required to click every link I see.
I thank the powers that be that there’s an eyewash station in the lab next to the fire system lever. Now I have to go find some pictures of chicks in their underwear to restore balance to the universe.

Count me in for the same reasons. It’s all I’ve ever worn myself and TWs do me just fine. On the other hand, I don’t have a girlfriend to dictate what kind of underwear she wants me to wear.
