Why do we wear underwear?

When did humans start wearing underwear and for what purpose? Is it advisable not to wear underwear? When did women start wearing bras?

Well, your first question has a one word answer: Stink. Being able to change out undies and still have clean smelling pants is a plus. Not that I’m all that stinky or anything.

I wear underwear because I don’t want to think I’m wearing 80 grit sandpaper when I’m actually wearing a pair of jeans.

Plus, it’s not as embarrassing as it could be when I get “pantsed”.

Just to keep my mom happy, in case of an accident and they take me to the hospital.

There’ve been quite a few threads on this, but here’s the last one.

For me? Never being able to shake off that last drop.

As I believe Seinfeld once mentioned, I find the idea of a device with interlocking teeth such as a zipper anywhere near my genitals rather disturbing.

Comfort

Underwear: generally cheaper to replace than pants, a dress or a skirt

Smell

Appearance

Safety

Absorption

This is why I love the Dope…

You all are such profound thinkers.

Something attractive and colorful to remove from your partners body using only your lips, as an entree to the main course.

Dude! It’s called a button fly for a reason! :smiley:

Who am I kidding? I wear BDUs. They got button flys for a reason.

Look as a guy who has “freeballed” for laudry reasons, I can tell you that the teeth of a zipper and the soft fleash of a man’s gonads are not a good match at all.

No one in that right mind wants to see a scabby penis

ever

It’s a 50/50 thing with me. Some days I just wanna be free (not my balls… I don’t have any balls, not on my person but I guess I do have some because my SO is a guy so his are mine, in a sense). I’m pretty finicky about being clean so I’m not stinky or gross. I wear panties during that time of the month, of course.

To attach pads, wait i wear tampons. Anyways if your a girl, for many reason, if your a guy thats gay.

Damn.

huh?

“But I am le tired.”

So when you scratch your ass you have a nice soft fabric working in your favor. :smiley:

so if you somehow end up playing spin the bottle/strip you have a better chance of surviving.

I hate underwear. It’s uncomfortable, it’s hot, it’s a pain in the ass. I just go commando.

Fuck underwear.

Well if you are taken short and * really do ** have to take a dump behind that tree you can always wipe your ass on them, Beats the shit out of using stinging nettles.

So my dick doesn’t poke a hole in my jeans when I ride behind a cute chick on the escalator at the mall.
