So what kind are you wearing?
Do you like Boxers or Briefs?
Or do you like to go commando?
Inquiring minds want to know.

General Questions is for questions with factual answers. IMHO is for opinions and polls.
I’ll move this to IMHO for you.

I prefer boxer briefs. Not as constricting as briefs; not as loosey-goosey as boxers. But, at home, as now, I generally go commando.

Boxers… you can, uh, itch without having to insert since the fabric will move a little…

I’ve been wearing women’s panties ever since the S/O found a pair of 'em under the seat in my truck.

SWL Bandanaman.
Sorry folks, went to bed…
the Bubbles is a term my dd made up.
One day she kept adjusting her underwear, more than usual. So I said to her, “Do you have to go potty” (she was 4ish) and she said “No, mommy, it’s just bubbles” Okaaaay so a few weeks later (this is borderline TMI) I was getting dressed and I always use a pantyliner. So I’m putting this on and she says, what is THAT? So I try to explain why and then it hit me.
I said, “It’s because of the bubbles”
She immediately understood.
do you? lol

Boxer briefs. Almost too warm in the summertime, but the coverage at the top of the thigh is great in cooler weather.

I generally wear briefs. low-cuts, not tighty-whiteys (sp). tw’s have a little too high of a scrunch factor for comfort. boxers i’ll wear ocassionally. but they can be somewhat of a problem when you get the random erection for no particular reason! also, i’ve found with some slacks maed of lighter material i don’t need to be in the “aroused state” for people to see what’s down there. i’ve also found that i need support, much like a bra for a woman. low-cuts give me the support, but they have enough room that they aren’t restrictive. i’m sure this is more analyzing than you ever cared to know, but that’s long and short of it =)
