Why do people wear underwear?

[Deja Q]

I mean, what's the point? It's something else to take off and put on.

Of this I freely admit I'm naive, and I wear underwear!

1. Well, here's a very good reason why I do.

Have you ever gotten yourself stuck in a zipper? That will pretty much swear you off free-balling for life.

2. Also it cuts down on chaffing and protects clothes so that they can be

worn several times.

23. Wear close more than once befor they get wash? Ewwwwww!

Only if thats all I got to go home in after a "hard" ;) night!

[VelmaD]

3. because...

it's one more thing to take off. ;-)

9. The one thing sexy than a naked lady

Is one wearing nice underthings :-)

25. The only reason to wear panties is...

for a guy to rip them off! hehehehe! :evilgrin:

4. It's there for just in case you leave your fly unzipped.

Minimizes the embarrassment and keeps you from being arrested for indecent exposure. Also, somebody mentioned getting your thingy caught, but have you ever gotten your pubes caught? Hurts bad, too. Seriously I have no clue what the origination of underwear is.

5. My grandma said it was so that if you had an accident

In case of an vehicular accident you would not be embarrased if the paramedics had to cut off your pants, I think it is because it makes it feel like something(someone) is holding you all the time.

who knows?:shrug:

6. Cause underwear

is soft and some clothes are not (prickly seams).

7. It also protects your package

For those of you with one, you know what I'm talking about.

8. Same Reason we have 7 layers of skin

Being nearly naked all the time may lead to problems. A little added cover may come in handy unless you like to be raw.

10. i don't

:shrug:

11. Because ...

All human orifices have mucuous membranes. Which is why I wear underwear over my ears.

12. There's more to life than underwear

Aggggggggg!!!! The commercial is stuck in my head

13. in case they are hit by a bus

and are laying on the sidewalk being attended to by paramedics.

This way, their unmentionables show instead of their privates.


Glad I could help clear that up.

14. Why do people wear outerwear?

aside from temperature considerations, I mean.

Underwear ads show people casually strutting their stuff without a care in the world. If we can watch it on TV and in magazines without batting an eye, why is it verboten in public?

In the midst of the steamiest, stickiest weather of the year, I propose we all ditch the outerwear...keep the underwear to discourage flies and other pests from congregating in uncomfortable places.

15. If you're like a lot of guys, some types of underwear prevent jock itch.

I wear Boxer briefs, myself. The best of both worlds, IMO. Prevents the rash, they don't bunch up like boxers, and they don't have the diaper qualities of briefs.

I actually go commando sometimes when it's cold outside. But in hot weather, I would NEVER think of doing that.

16. Protection from seams

In the winter I go for boxer briefs. They offer some support, and don't pinch like regular briefs. I wear boxers in the summer, because they let the boys breathe a little.

17. protection from zippers

OUCH!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

18. I stopped when I was 14

19. To intercept skid marks

All those skid-marks many men reportedly produce would be on their drawers instead.

20. TOE

SOMETHING TO DO WITH TOE?

22. thongs just aggravate the problem!

Speaking from experience, here.

21. Pubes. Zippers. Need I say more?

:evilgrin:

24. I like the way the satin & lace feels against my testicles-

and it's so delicate and pretty...
makes me feel like a sexy vixen.
What's not to like?

[Lady Freedom]

26. I like the way testicles feel against my satin and lace...

and other things! :evilgrin:

[davsand]

27. To catch the drips.

Sorry to be so graphic but I can't think of any other way to say it. I used to know guys who joked about those little "drip" marks on the front of slacks after they'd gone to the bathroom.
