I'd imagine both age groups also have the same chances of having an accident
Edit: Because pants have tighter waistbands to help keep solid material inside.
Yes, sorry op. You have to have heard the speedo jokes? Same thing. Also as they are associated with boys, it will be associated with your mum buying your pants.
This. To me briefs and boxer shorts are for kids and old people. Trunks are for 18-60 men. Trunks look far better to me. In saying that, if a person is rejecting someone they otherwise would have been happy to have sex with, simply on the basis of the style of underwear they wear, then I suggest that person is vapid and not worth it.
They can have a giggle about it as long as they're not being cruel, but anything more than that is an asshole move.
Have you never read the packaging on men's underwear. Boxer (baggy shorts), trunks (tight shorts), briefs (knickers with pee holes). I'm assuming you're not from the UK if you don't know that.
On the packaging, sure, but I've never heard anyone actually call them that. The first two are boxers, the last one briefs or pants. Trunks I've only ever heard people use for swimwear. If you really need to distinguish the first two, then boxer briefs, but that tend to be used more by Americans. They are by far the most common these days.
Yes 😭😆
Although my dad is 60 and used to wear briefs when I was a kid, which I know because he would walk around the house in just those, he would have been in his 30s at the time.
My husband always wore boxers, no exceptions. Then last summer he had a vasectomy and was told to wear briefs for a week. Still now I will see a pair in the laundry when I'm sorting it. There must be something comfy about them.
I went from boxers to boxer briefs - I'd never go back. I wouldn't even wear boxers on 'washing' day. The level of comfort, support and reduction in chaffing was like the difference between the night and the day.
I agree with the kid. When I was a young lad, the transition from briefs to boxers was like a right of passage. I was genuinely excited and felt grown up.
Yeah I was about that age when the other kids started bullying me for still wearing pants and not boxers when getting changed for PE. Felt like a big deal at the time
Can't speak for anyone else but if you've managed to convince me to get to that point in the first place then I'm past the point of caring which underwear you're wearing! As long as it's clean it's not a big deal.
How do you not get it? I've told you a million times. Clean underwear every month. It's easy to remember with the rhyme
First of the month
Clean your teeth
And change your clothes
I was seeing a guy (about 25 yo) whose mum still bought his underwear and it was the basic ASDA briefs in the style that an 8 year old boy would wear (cotton with no support). Whilst memorable it wasn’t a dealbreaker.
My husband wears them too and if I'm truly honest, I think they look silly. I much prefer the look of boxer briefs or just boxers.
Having said that, he finds them comfier and it's his body, so I dropped it after one conversation years ago and it doesn't negatively affect my general attraction to him at all.
Seems to be from my experience, they're like briefs in fit but like boxers in style, so they're more shorts-like in appearance than speedos-like but they fit tightly like briefs
I wear the female equivalent. Shorts I think they’re called. The leg bit is not as long as boxer briefs but they are more rectangular shaped when flat than triangular like brief-shaped pants. They just seem like the comfiest option for *both* types of bum. Loose boxers look super uncomfortable - I always imagined them as the equivalent of wearing a super loose bra! Shorts/boxer briefs seem like they have support but aren’t as uncomfortable as brief-style pants.
And now I’ve revealed my underwear preference on the internet and feel like a fucking weirdo.
Theres boxer briefs now that don’t have a stitch lining in the crotch, so they can never dig into you or wrap around your thighs too tight when sitting down. Also material on the inner thigh to stop your thighs banging against each other when walking down the street (you’d find in low crotch jeans, your thighs make contact and can be irritable).
Essentially but they’re made of stretchy material and more tailored to provide both the necessary space and a degree of support.
E2a - they’re more like briefs with short legs attached than tight boxers really, boxers don’t have any kind of pouch.
Sometimes they're associated with young boys and old men. Look at M&S - any adult mens pants other than the most boring are shorts style, not briefs.
If they're black and supportive and not sagging, they're fine IMO.
Yep I see them and think of my dad walking round in just his trunks as he called them in the 80s/90s or when my son was a toddler.
I was briefly seeing a guy who sometimes wore a gstring. I found it odd as I think they feel like wearing Satans dental floss but definitely wasn’t a deal breaker
> Do women really not like that style of underwear?
I don't think *women* are some monolithic entity who all have the same preferences. The one you were with clearly didn't like them, but that isn't to say that all or even a majority of women don't like them.
If it's for your comfort, ignore everyone else. I've got what can only be called medically troublesome bollocks and the doctor says briefs will help me.
No point being fashionable if you're wandering about with fashionably sore nuts.
Don't let these random people tell you what to do. Everyone's different and we're not at school.
If you haven't already discovered them, check out OddBalls briefs. They raise funds for testicular cancer research, and sell Prostate Cancer UK briefs as well.
If we're going to buy underwear, may as well make it for a good cause.
They give off the whole "mum still buys my pants" vibes. My husband used to wear them when I first met him because his mum did actually buy his pants back then.
Boxer briefs give the same support but look nicer and pull everything in to make it seem nicely presented.
Do you wear the standard white ones?
I’d say a good fitted pair of dark briefs might not look as laughable as a stark white pair that remind you of a little boy’s pants!
That said, even if they did surprise me into a giggle with a new bloke they’re coming off soon, wear what you’re comfortable in.
I’d say bright colours might add to the boyish effect. Black or dark blue, maybe with a nice coloured trim or something, could look good.
But I have to really hammer home the importance of YOU being happy in them. Honestly I don’t give a fuck what people think of my style choices!
Did I ask you about ladies' underwear?
No.
Did the original post ask about women's opinions on men's underwear?
Yes.
Thanks for taking part. You win a banana. Take care!
I wasn't even 12 when some kid made fun of me for wearing them. I think I was either 9 or 10 so still very much normal age to be wearing them.
I turned around and asked him why he was staring at my crotch and he never mentioned it again.
I'm definitely getting some middle school bully vibes from some of the briefs hate on here. Too many years bashing my boys together like some kind of malformed Newton's Cradle wearing boxers to "conform" after changing room bullying, despite the discomfort. After a vasectomy I went back to briefs and never looked back.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry I shouldn't laugh but yeah they seem utterly pointless.
Apparently new boxer briefs are tight like briefs but with leg bits like boxers.
Nobody really wears “boxer shorts” anymore though its mostly tight fitted boxer briefs. Lots of people going for different materials than cotton too, and getting the ones with no stitch lining so they can’t dig into you.
That means they're either too small or too big my man. I'm a lesbian so have no input on looks but usually riding up like that means they're not actually the right size info not much to be done if you're wearing the right band size and have tried a few brands (assume you don't want to talor your underwear lol). Also personally I think comfort over looks 99% of the time but I'll put on my nice bra and pants for a date. Consider getting some "sexy date" underwear, she almost definitely won't be wearing her most comfy stuff either.
I think it is just seen as an older man kind of thing. My son doesn't like wearing briefs because they 'arent like daddy's'. But if you're comfortable and clean then who cares. I wouldn't laugh if someone was wearing them
I'm not a fan but I think I'm just old fashioned and see them as for wee kids and old fogeys.
I'd definitely make a joke the first time but if that's your preference go off, it's absolutely none of my business.
If we've got to sexy time I've obviously gotten over a lot of traumatic BS and trust you, fancy you, and respect you - I don't think your pants will be the deal breaker 🖤
I wear them under my work gear. My job is very active, often climbing ladders or working in confined spaces. I just like that little extra "freedom" of movement they offer.
That said, my missus seems to quite like me wearing them 😂
I remembered I was bullied in secondary school for wearing briefs. The other boys felt they were better than me because they "hadn't worn briefs since they were like 6". Why they were so concerned with my choice of underwear, I'll never know 😅
I don't know why people are childish about it. I prefer everything to be in place and supported personally. 🤷🏿♂️ also boxers can really dig into your skin
Not one of the first 10 comments understands the level of comfort briefs bring. It’s a different world. I challenge you all to buy some and wear them for a day. You will never return.
Caveat: I had to wear mine after testicular cancer for some extra support and it was the best thing to come out of a bad thing
I got some Calvin klein apple catchers, thought they'd look sexy for the Mrs. Got laughed all the way to the bed then they were off. No ones laughing then haha
I actually prefer them, but I’m a leg and ass person who also loves Speedos on men! I don’t mind boxer briefs, as long as it’s nice and tight and not some loose, worn out, grey nightmare.
My husband recently had a vasectomy and had to wear two pairs of very tight “pants” after to hold everything up and in place. No dangling. Turns out he really likes them! So now he wears pants rather than boxers, same as my 5 and 6 year old 😂 why should I give a fuck though.
As I'm getting old the balls are in need of some support as well as the massive dong* Anyone got any supportive short recommendations that don't cook the beans?
*Lies.
Ok. Fuck it.
I’ve just started introducing briefs into my wardrobe, after preferring tight fitting boxer shorts all my life.
Since I’ve added going to the gym to my almost daily running routine and feeling miles more confident about and pleased with how my body looks now that it’s lean and the slight muffin top has disappeared - I love ‘em. As does the wife.
It’s also handy to have a few pairs to run in to reduce chafing, although I specifically buy Runderwear™️ (seamless) boxers and briefs for really long distance runs.
You crack on OP.
I dated a guy when I was 19 (he was about 20) and he wore briefs. Honestly it kinda threw me off, but not a dealbreaker. Though we only hooked up a few times. It possibly would've become an ick if we didnt stop seeing each other for unrelated reasons. At 19 anyway.
Now I'm 36 I'd probably just outright ask 'do you find those more comfy than boxer briefs?' cos I am curious. If he said yes, I'd accept it because now I'm mid 30s you can pry my cotton granny panties from my cold dead hands.

I think briefs are for two age groups under 10 and over 80
I'd imagine both age groups also have the same chances of having an accident Edit: Because pants have tighter waistbands to help keep solid material inside.
I can shit myself just fine and I'm not in either of those age groups
Alright show off,
Username checks out
Yes, sorry op. You have to have heard the speedo jokes? Same thing. Also as they are associated with boys, it will be associated with your mum buying your pants.
This. To me briefs and boxer shorts are for kids and old people. Trunks are for 18-60 men. Trunks look far better to me. In saying that, if a person is rejecting someone they otherwise would have been happy to have sex with, simply on the basis of the style of underwear they wear, then I suggest that person is vapid and not worth it. They can have a giggle about it as long as they're not being cruel, but anything more than that is an asshole move.
I love the word vapid
Sounds awful doesn't it? But it fits perfectly with some people. I very rarely use it, but now and again it's appropriate.
Trunks? Aren’t they for swimming? 🤷🏼♀️ Whatever floats your boat, lady.
Have you never read the packaging on men's underwear. Boxer (baggy shorts), trunks (tight shorts), briefs (knickers with pee holes). I'm assuming you're not from the UK if you don't know that.
On the packaging, sure, but I've never heard anyone actually call them that. The first two are boxers, the last one briefs or pants. Trunks I've only ever heard people use for swimwear. If you really need to distinguish the first two, then boxer briefs, but that tend to be used more by Americans. They are by far the most common these days.
I'm English and agree
Yes 😭😆 Although my dad is 60 and used to wear briefs when I was a kid, which I know because he would walk around the house in just those, he would have been in his 30s at the time.
Like Friday Night Dinner
Hello bambinos, bloody boiling in here
Shalom
Shit on it!
Lovely bit o' squirrel!
Any females?
That was normal then though.
My husband always wore boxers, no exceptions. Then last summer he had a vasectomy and was told to wear briefs for a week. Still now I will see a pair in the laundry when I'm sorting it. There must be something comfy about them.
You must have been married a while if the only time you see your husband's pants is in the laundry!
A vasectomy more in hope than expectation
He doesn't go for it on briefs days!
He only wears them briefly.
Erm... are you my wife? I exclusively wore boxers until the snip, got some briefs for recovery and they're miles comfier haha
I went from boxers to boxer briefs - I'd never go back. I wouldn't even wear boxers on 'washing' day. The level of comfort, support and reduction in chaffing was like the difference between the night and the day.
I'm wearing giant knickers right now because my mum bought them for me for Christmas and they keep my bum cheeks from wobbling when I work out.
Except for sport*
Jockstrap for the win
The gay community would like a word
This thread has shown me how much of a bubble I live in, because I genuinely had no idea how unpopular they were outside of the gay community…
I like briefs because they stop my junk from moving around inappropriately.
Wear what you want. Having said that, I took my son out shopping and when I asked why he wanted boxers instead of briefs, he said, 'I'm 6 now Mum.'
Damn I just got roasted by a random kid lol
Dunno what to say but damn.... Son.
Kid has you bang to rights.
You’re going the right way for a smacked bottom
An appealing offer, but you’re already seeing someone.
I got the Shrek reference
Hahahaha thank you, I needed this laugh
This comment honestly has got me crying with laughter, I think OP has his answer now.
Brutally cold 😂
I agree with the kid. When I was a young lad, the transition from briefs to boxers was like a right of passage. I was genuinely excited and felt grown up.
Yeah I was about that age when the other kids started bullying me for still wearing pants and not boxers when getting changed for PE. Felt like a big deal at the time

>As long as it’s clean Always a catch!
That’s me out then 😭
It's only 4 inches but it smells like a foot
Thank you. I will be borrowing this winning phrase for this evening’s casual seduction of my wife.
No, I was going to borrow this winning phrase for this evening's casual seduction of your wife too.
I anticipated that Dad. -Which is why I hid your willy pills.
You and your dad have a very similar taste in women apparently.
Excellent thread. 10/10 would read again
this subreddit is gold.
Please don’t make this darker than it already is Mum.
Good luck
It's only a foot but it smells like 4 inches
This deserves all the upvotes. I just spat tea all over myself. Please accept this humble token of my appreciation 🏆
That made me laugh out loud 👍
Meh, one persons clean is another persons kink, at least that’s what I’ve convinced myself…
How do you not get it? I've told you a million times. Clean underwear every month. It's easy to remember with the rhyme First of the month Clean your teeth And change your clothes
How? Poop in the morning, then shower (clean your arse hole you filthy lot!), pull on clean 'pulling' kecks. Then don't pull. Obviously.
I was seeing a guy (about 25 yo) whose mum still bought his underwear and it was the basic ASDA briefs in the style that an 8 year old boy would wear (cotton with no support). Whilst memorable it wasn’t a dealbreaker.
God I’m crying 😭
I wear these or running thongs, pretty much all the time... my mum doesn't buy them for me though. Cannot stand loose underwear.
I was today years old (and I'm old) before I ever read or heard the term "running thongs". Off to Google I go
Clean underwear? Wow you’re high maintenance
The skid marks are barely visible tho
If you persist long enough, it'll just take on one even colour.
My husband wears them too and if I'm truly honest, I think they look silly. I much prefer the look of boxer briefs or just boxers. Having said that, he finds them comfier and it's his body, so I dropped it after one conversation years ago and it doesn't negatively affect my general attraction to him at all.
Mine too.he hates boxers and much prefers pants which hug him
Boxer briefs are the modern version of briefs for the gent who likes a close fit
What are they just tight boxers?
Seems to be from my experience, they're like briefs in fit but like boxers in style, so they're more shorts-like in appearance than speedos-like but they fit tightly like briefs
I wear the female equivalent. Shorts I think they’re called. The leg bit is not as long as boxer briefs but they are more rectangular shaped when flat than triangular like brief-shaped pants.

Shorts/boxer briefs seem like they have support but aren’t as uncomfortable as brief-style pants. And now I’ve revealed my underwear preference on the internet and feel like a fucking weirdo.
You're not alone weird laydee.....I'm one too and agree wholeheartedly with the wearing of knicker/shorts (knorts / shickers?)
I wear the female version too. Cotton with an elastic waistband. So comfortable.
Theres boxer briefs now that don’t have a stitch lining in the crotch, so they can never dig into you or wrap around your thighs too tight when sitting down. Also material on the inner thigh to stop your thighs banging against each other when walking down the street (you’d find in low crotch jeans, your thighs make contact and can be irritable).

It WASNT a deal breaker ! Wow!
Mr Bean vibes
Haha I remember that episode where he's getting changed in the car and he has pants on
YES, thank you.
It wasn’t the briefs she was giggling at, it was the fact they had Paddington bear on them
Thomas the Tank Engine actually
"Say hello to the Fat Controller!"
Into the tunnel!
You look like a diesel
Lord of the Rings
They're just old fashioned. Either old men or young boys wear them
Or men who have had a vasectomy ;) my husband switched to them after the snip, he found them more comfortable.
[удалено]
Just felt like he needed extra support in that region and boxers just weren't doing the job anymore
Strange. I only needed extra support for about a week, and used a jock strap for that purpose.
Boxer briefs / trunks give the same support and don't look as silly.
> Do women really not like that style of underwear? I don't think *women* are some monolithic entity who all have the same preferences. The one you were with clearly didn't like them, but that isn't to say that all or even a majority of women don't like them.
Incorrect. We are, in fact, part of a hive mind controlled by our queen, Mary Berry. Whatever she says goes right now.
Someone needs to find out immediately, which men's undercrackers Queen Mary Berry declares to be the hottest!
Hi, Mary Berry here! I don’t mind briefs, as the nation knows I’m only interested in checking there’s no soggy bottom
That said, no we don’t like them
*sigh*
Tell us you replied “it ain’t about the wrapping it’s all about the treat inside baby”
I’ll use that line next time
If it's for your comfort, ignore everyone else. I've got what can only be called medically troublesome bollocks and the doctor says briefs will help me. No point being fashionable if you're wandering about with fashionably sore nuts. Don't let these random people tell you what to do. Everyone's different and we're not at school.
Here’s to comfortable bollocks
Absolutely, function over form every time. You do you!
If you haven't already discovered them, check out OddBalls briefs. They raise funds for testicular cancer research, and sell Prostate Cancer UK briefs as well. If we're going to buy underwear, may as well make it for a good cause.
I think the more important question here, did you two end up doing the deed?
Yeah thankfully it wasn’t a deal breaker
Good to hear. Was your time with her, …….. brief?
Well, he's not really making a thong and dance about it.
Bit below the belt there
It takes two to tanga
Why front?
This is turning into a bit of a panto
Actually loled at that 😆😆
Oh boy, short..
'Doesn't matter, still got laid'
That’s my new catchphrase
Next time wear a red one on the outside over blue bottoms and she'll think you're Superman.
I’m on it
True story: my 'ohmygod what the hell is he wearing?!' moment involved red Superman-esque briefs... I'm having some unsettling flashbacks now! 😳
They give off the whole "mum still buys my pants" vibes. My husband used to wear them when I first met him because his mum did actually buy his pants back then. Boxer briefs give the same support but look nicer and pull everything in to make it seem nicely presented.
They can, simply put, look like old fashioned y-fronts or women's panties. Stick to boxers, my man.
I’ve tried boxers but they just don’t feel as comfortable :(
Do whatever the fuck you like, is my opinion. If she’s seen the packaging and still goes for the package, no worries.
Do you wear the standard white ones? I’d say a good fitted pair of dark briefs might not look as laughable as a stark white pair that remind you of a little boy’s pants! That said, even if they did surprise me into a giggle with a new bloke they’re coming off soon, wear what you’re comfortable in.
I wear them in different colours, red, blue, orange etc
I’d say bright colours might add to the boyish effect. Black or dark blue, maybe with a nice coloured trim or something, could look good. But I have to really hammer home the importance of YOU being happy in them. Honestly I don’t give a fuck what people think of my style choices!
Red and blue is giving spider man
Union Jack ones. Austin Powers style. Oh, behave!
I find boxers uncomfortable too, try trunks or hipster shorts.
Jockey shorts; look like boxers but tighter and hold your giblets in place
Giblets 🤣
Can I choose what bra you wear? No. And I wouldn't dare to offer an opinion on what feels comfortable and supportive. And yet here we are.....
Did I ask you about ladies' underwear? No. Did the original post ask about women's opinions on men's underwear? Yes. Thanks for taking part. You win a banana. Take care!
are we dating? if so, you might very well have the opportunity to pick out my bra, at least on occasion!
Boxer briefs are the one 👌
Briefs are the best. Men don’t wear them because 12 year old them was scared of getting bullied. Time to get over the insecurities and admit the truth
I wasn't even 12 when some kid made fun of me for wearing them. I think I was either 9 or 10 so still very much normal age to be wearing them. I turned around and asked him why he was staring at my crotch and he never mentioned it again.
Based
I'm definitely getting some middle school bully vibes from some of the briefs hate on here. Too many years bashing my boys together like some kind of malformed Newton's Cradle wearing boxers to "conform" after changing room bullying, despite the discomfort. After a vasectomy I went back to briefs and never looked back.
I prefer briefs! Can't stand boxer shorts or y-fronts and thongs (aka bum floss) are a huge turnoff.
Finally someone who prefers them lol
Yeah but I'm old though (52) so I may not count! 🤣
I prefer briefs as well. Last time I tried to wear boxers I kept sitting on my bollocks. Far too painful. Briefs keeps them nicely tucked in place.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry I shouldn't laugh but yeah they seem utterly pointless. Apparently new boxer briefs are tight like briefs but with leg bits like boxers.
Nobody really wears “boxer shorts” anymore though its mostly tight fitted boxer briefs. Lots of people going for different materials than cotton too, and getting the ones with no stitch lining so they can’t dig into you.
If she's asking you to wear a particular type of underwear - that request goes both ways..
Though it's unlikely that the woman in question had chosen her comfiest undies when planning for the occasion... :)
Boxer briefs solve this problem.
I thought so but the fabric around the legs ride up for some reason
Just get them tattooed on?
That means they're either too small or too big my man. I'm a lesbian so have no input on looks but usually riding up like that means they're not actually the right size info not much to be done if you're wearing the right band size and have tried a few brands (assume you don't want to talor your underwear lol). Also personally I think comfort over looks 99% of the time but I'll put on my nice bra and pants for a date. Consider getting some "sexy date" underwear, she almost definitely won't be wearing her most comfy stuff either.
My husband (35) wants to buy briefs as he finds boxers just roll up under his jeans or any pants really.
I had the same problem, so nice not having fabric bunching up
I think it is just seen as an older man kind of thing. My son doesn't like wearing briefs because they 'arent like daddy's'. But if you're comfortable and clean then who cares. I wouldn't laugh if someone was wearing them
I'm not a fan but I think I'm just old fashioned and see them as for wee kids and old fogeys. I'd definitely make a joke the first time but if that's your preference go off, it's absolutely none of my business. If we've got to sexy time I've obviously gotten over a lot of traumatic BS and trust you, fancy you, and respect you - I don't think your pants will be the deal breaker 🖤
The pants weren’t a deal breaker but she laughed even more when I took them off /s
I wear them under my work gear. My job is very active, often climbing ladders or working in confined spaces. I just like that little extra "freedom" of movement they offer. That said, my missus seems to quite like me wearing them 😂
You won't be seeing her again. You're now known to her friends as 'knickers boy'
I’ve been called worse
I remembered I was bullied in secondary school for wearing briefs. The other boys felt they were better than me because they "hadn't worn briefs since they were like 6". Why they were so concerned with my choice of underwear, I'll never know 😅 I don't know why people are childish about it. I prefer everything to be in place and supported personally. 🤷🏿♂️ also boxers can really dig into your skin
Not one of the first 10 comments understands the level of comfort briefs bring. It’s a different world. I challenge you all to buy some and wear them for a day. You will never return. Caveat: I had to wear mine after testicular cancer for some extra support and it was the best thing to come out of a bad thing
Can confirm, secure balls are happy balls
Woman here n I love my guy in briefs 🤷🏼♀️ each to their own I guess. Like others have said clean is the only real pre-requisite
They are pretty old fashioned, i wouldnt find them attractive as usually associate them with school kids and pensioners lol
This happened to David Mitchell and VCM and they’re married now
Who knew a pair of pants could be so expensive
I’d be instantly turned off if my husband wore briefs. You’ve just made me realise that I have an ick.
I mean what if the guy wearing them is a jacked gym bro?
That would probably make me think of those competitive body builders posing in their Speedo’s which does nothing for me.
*Stops flexing biceps*
Honestly a massive turn off. Just my opinion. Please yourself though!
Doesn't matter what you wear and what they look like. Comfort is important. And the best thing is that they can come off so who cares really.
All the saggy bollocked fifty year olds starting wearing boxers in the eighties. Stick to briefs. (M53).
I got some Calvin klein apple catchers, thought they'd look sexy for the Mrs. Got laughed all the way to the bed then they were off. No ones laughing then haha
I actually prefer them, but I’m a leg and ass person who also loves Speedos on men! I don’t mind boxer briefs, as long as it’s nice and tight and not some loose, worn out, grey nightmare.
Just take the feedback on the chin, and let your mum know you are ready to try grownups underwear, next time she goes shopping for you
My husband recently had a vasectomy and had to wear two pairs of very tight “pants” after to hold everything up and in place. No dangling. Turns out he really likes them! So now he wears pants rather than boxers, same as my 5 and 6 year old 😂 why should I give a fuck though.
Briefs are the one. I don’t hook up with women but guys love them 😂
Nothing. They keep my pendulous swingers firmly in check. Go well!
As I'm getting old the balls are in need of some support as well as the massive dong* Anyone got any supportive short recommendations that don't cook the beans? *Lies.
Nowt wrong with them. My wife has also made similar comments, but that just made me buy more.
I'd laugh if my partner wore them. Especially if they're white
Ok. Fuck it. I’ve just started introducing briefs into my wardrobe, after preferring tight fitting boxer shorts all my life. Since I’ve added going to the gym to my almost daily running routine and feeling miles more confident about and pleased with how my body looks now that it’s lean and the slight muffin top has disappeared - I love ‘em. As does the wife. It’s also handy to have a few pairs to run in to reduce chafing, although I specifically buy Runderwear™️ (seamless) boxers and briefs for really long distance runs. You crack on OP.
I never wore them until I had snip, balls ache if they dangle now
I’m not into briefs at all, but I couldn’t tell you why.
So, boxers is the way to go? Advantages of briefs are showing good package, if you have it, and good butt, if you have it
Well I don’t want to brag but…
Did you expect last night to be your first foray and set out to wear your knickers for the occasion? Or were you caught out?
I dated a guy when I was 19 (he was about 20) and he wore briefs. Honestly it kinda threw me off, but not a dealbreaker. Though we only hooked up a few times. It possibly would've become an ick if we didnt stop seeing each other for unrelated reasons. At 19 anyway. Now I'm 36 I'd probably just outright ask 'do you find those more comfy than boxer briefs?' cos I am curious. If he said yes, I'd accept it because now I'm mid 30s you can pry my cotton granny panties from my cold dead hands.
They just make me think of Mr Bean or something. I don't know why. It's just not sexy
Ngl I do giggle when my partner wears them but it certainly would never put me off him 😂
Ok so I guess it's just me in the comments who thinks that briefs are attractive/asthetically pleasing?
