Briefs, Boxers, or commando?
They all have problems!
Problem 1) Cup size.
Unlike for women’s bras, men don’t have the luxury of choosing cup size independently from belt size. Ever wondered what happens if he’s wearing briefs and the cup size is too small? The powerful leg elastic gets stretched to accommodate for the size of his package. This means that his package gets crushed! (Physics 101 - every action has an equal and opposite reaction.) This can be very uncomfortable for his balls and give his package no room to move when sitting or when they need to more out of the way.
So is boxers a better solution for men with large packages?
Problem 2) Leg girth
If the boxers don’t have the perfect leg girth for him, then it will either be uncomfortably tight on the legs, or have excess material which doesn’t sit flat, folding over and creating lumps of triple-thickness material that is another source of discomfort. This isn’t nearly as practical as having elastic like on briefs.
So, is going commando a better option?
Problem 3) Flailing about
Both loose boxers and going commando won’t help a man keep his bits from flailing about if he needs to do anything active. Running naked is really awkward!
Problem 4) Rough materials
Outer clothing can be really harsh on a man’s willy, particularly if he’s been unfortunate enough to have been circumcised and doesn’t have the protection of a foreskin to keep his glands from getting roughed up, which is very uncomfortable, particularly if the delicate urethral orifice happens to snag on some material.
Problem 5) Poise
With a long length of urethra between the urethral sphincter and the glands penis, there’s a risk that a few drips of pee might never fully drain after peeing, and only later find its way out after he sits on a bicycle seat or is otherwise being active. If he’s going commando, he hasn’t got any material to wick up any drips, so he’s at a much higher risk ending up with an obvious concentrated wet spot in the front of his pants.
Problem 6) Embarrassment
Going commando means he’s going to stick out more at the best of times, and he’s more at risk of getting embarrassing super-obvious unwanted boners, particularly in adolescence, especially if he’s circumcised and doesn’t have a foreskin to protect him from unwanted stimulation.
As for me, dealing with a large package, balls that don’t like any pressure, and being circumcised, I choose to wear boxers because they are the least bad alternative for me. I have yet to find a perfect pair of underwear for myself. If I could design them, they would be briefs which have a generous cup size with perhaps 6 inches of material between the bands of leg elastic, and would have a somewhat pointed cup to minimize the glands slipping around inside too much.

I'm totally a boxers kind of a guy and not boxer briefs but like these kind
What's hilarious is Google thought I wanted boxers and showed me a Muslim boxer 😂
But I did remember an old commercial that helps support my feelings for boxers, it featured a rooster struggling being trapped in a cage 😂
I like my guy in boxers coz it is easier to touch him downstairs.
Briefs, esp the white ones, look like little boys or worse, Homer Simpson. I know they sell Jockey in colors, but still they look kinda silly.
and boxers come in colors and patterns AND if you are trying to have a baby, it keeps his Boys cooler so he is fertile.
**Im curious what guys like to wear?

I go commando as soon as the weather is warm enough to enjoy the breeze blowing up my shorts.
Boxers in the winter.
An occasional bikini brief as the mood suits me.
A lace G string will find it's way on me at times, as well. I love the feel of the..., well, you know!Briefs in the hotter months and boxer briefs in the colder months. Not white cotton ones, though. I wear "performance" type - UnderArmour or something similar in black or dark colors.
Boxers are really just pants liners - they provide zero support, and that's not good if you have a more physical job.I'm a boxer briefs guy. I got the free flow that comes with boxers and the spandex stretch of boxers... I know that sounds a little contradictory, but it's still the best of both worlds!
Depends, if I'm going out for a long walk with friends and I need something practical, boxers. Otherwise if I want more tight comfort its briefs. Co. pared to women, boxers and briefs is all we gots
I am not a boxer or briefs guy!
I am a thong guy! Joe Boxer thongs!
I have been wearing thongs for about 30 years now! I only wear thongs or I go commando!Boxer briefs for me.
My boys have to have some support.
My problem with tighty whities are they look kind of stupid, especially on me because I have long legs and boxers are just incredible uncomfortable for me because my junk just goes anywhere it wants.
In fact, I would rather go commando than where boxes. LolAre you a fan of Seinfeld? Cosmo Kramer said it best when asked what was between him and Elaine in reference too underpants. "I'm hanging right out there and loving every minute of it!!!"
that black & white ad is fucking hilarious. Anything but boxers. My balls need proper support! Good way to sustain an injury downstairs, especially if you get into fights a lot. >:D
Briefs. Im skinny as hell and boxer vriefs are too baggy so my penis gets stuck in the leg sometimes. can't stand boxers. Girls always say i look like a little boy or lile im wearing panties but eh, none have left lol
I do boxer briefs, but since I am kept locked in chastity almost all of the time now, my keyholder recently tnought it would be amusing to make me wear lacy thongs sometimes.
Boxer brief nice little bit of middle ground, I think they have a far more pleasing look straight boxer shorts look like your wearing your dad's underwear, Briefs make you look like your trying to hard, Boxerbriefs are just right,
Boxers all throughout the year. I've tried out briefs and boxer briefs but they tend to stick way too much on my skin, and it definitely gets uncomfortable during the summer. Boxers let the balls breathe and looks better in my opinion. It also helps to conceal penis size a bit more if you're in a public changing room, but you do run the risk of accidentally slipping a nut or two.
Only this
I am actually a boxer I don't want my thing to jump around so I wear the brief one lol
I am a boxers guy, boxers are so comfortable and you can move around without any issue.
A briefs guy. I like my package held in support such as breasts in a brassiere. You have a choice right loose or nude or almost nude. Plus when it descends it gets cooler. Each person has their own temperature gauge whether they know it or not
Boxers much more comfoftable for me and my balls :D
I wear boxer briefs and midway briefs.
Me personally I prefer none, but if I had to wear any, it would be boxers. Compression shorts are for more physical activity.👍👍
Boxers. The dangly-bits have more freedom to move as they please. I switched from briefs a good 5 or 6 years ago.
