I like TWs and I think they are sexy. I don’t think boxers are remotely sexy. Men with stomachs (SO included) look much nicer in TWs than boxers. Besides, lose shorts and boxers run the risk of ‘things’ becoming involuntarily on display - very very not sexy.
I have always thought that boxer briefs are the sexiest kind of underwear a man can wear. I have found that every guy I have ever dated who wore TW’s is kind of a pansy…though I will admit I have not dated every man who wears TW’s, so it is a little early for me to pass judgement.
Circulation. More room than the tighter stuff, while not giving the freeball effect of boxers.
I’ve tried boxers. If I want to wear a pair of shorts, I will wear a pair of shorts. If I want to bind my genital area in Saran Wrap, I’ll do so. If I want to actually be comfortable, I’ll … do what I currently do:)
I think there may be some cultural variation here - I tend to have dated carpenters, electricians, truck drivers etc - they either go commando (eww gross, won’t somebody think of the trouser crotch) or wear TWs. I think of boxer wearers as pansies, um I mean metrosexuals. Also, sports players (and I think you all know that NZ is big on rugby) can’t wear boxers whilst training or playing matches.
