*Tighty Righties*
Yeah yeah, I know it's *SOOOOOO '95*, but I can't help it...
A friend of mine who lives in DC told me a few years back that a poll showed something like 87% of repukes claim to wear tighty whities (which explains a lot, if you ask me :P), so I was just wondering...
Which is it, DU guys, boxers, briefs, or COMMANDO?? :D

6. heheheh
used to be whities ( and occasionally still) but mostly boxers, now that I've found out how comfy they are. Commando, if they're in the wash, or I'm in a hurry. Although, it could be argued that it's not really necessary to wear them, unless you're concerned about catching your... errr... tackle in the zipper. Even then, boxers may not protect you from the zip.

Who says undies are even necessary? It's a conspiracy by the Underwear Gnomes of Zurich, to sell something to everybody that they don't really need!

7. Occasionally go pantyless
under skirts in summer. It's just more comfy and who would know unless I told them?

I'm never in public w/o a bra though. It's just too noticable.

Well, sure....of course you know all about that one, too. We must be so obvious, darn it.

But I thought you mean the other one, the Must....Not......Look......At.....Chest one, where we look everywhere but where, if we're really honest with ourselves, we want to look. I'm a master of that one, which probably means that I'm even more painfully obvious in my diligent inattention.

I just hate to project the air of yet another male chauvinist who equates a woman's worth to her bodily atributes.....though I'm still happy as a clam if I can get some good viewing angles courtesy of a strategically placed reflective surface. :-) Terrible....terrible.....

72. I have a friend who does that to me all the time.
Poor Friend, he tries so hard to be pious (he's a convert to Orthodox Judaism by way of some other variation on the theme), but when a smart woman with an ample chest size comes around ( :hi: ), he stares helplessly...and then stares everywhere else, helplessly, and stutters and stammers, and generally makes a fool out of himself.

I always wear underwear, unless I'm wearing medieval garb in the summer. I can't imagine the kind of washing I'd have to do if I didn't... Don't you ladies, er, um, smear your garments that way?

:-) Oh, yeah....and I didn't even know what then was going on under those wenches' threads.

Did you notice how well I was doing pretending not to have read about 'smears'? I'm quite proud. I'm so darned well-behaved.

Well, I'm away to stutter and stammer and to generally make a fool out of myself.........

76. No, I really want to know...
How do other women deal with that problem? If I went panty-less under my pants, I'd have to launder them every damn time I wore them. I literally and figuratively can't afford to do that much laundry. Am I the ONLY one who has that problem? I mean, I only mind wearing underwear sometimes, but I see it as a pragmatic necessity. After all, I own dozens of pairs of panties (and too few bras), but only five pairs of everyday pants! (Other than in garb, I am NEVER in a skirt.)

Yes, we wenches are naughty. There's a reason some people call the SCA the Society of Consenting Adults. Not all of that is the (lack of) clothes, BTW. It's a stellar cruising opportunity, no matter what your particular kink. (I don't do RenFaires or the like.)

so... :shrug: I don't have that problem.

Certain kinds of fabric just don't feel good up close.

I can understand about the clothing of yesteryear thing. Did you see The 1900 House on BBC or PBS? The lady of the house gave up the 1900s underwear underneath all those billowy petticoats! She said it was too much laundry to do by hand. :P LOL!

And, nope, not bra size, but just the fact of any bra-related or what's-inside-the-bra-related thing at all - do you know just how long we waited 'til we finally got to see a bra deployed in anger (well, not anger, exactly)? And we waited even longer 'til we got to point where we were able to get the snaps undone (okay, so trembling hands don't help). There's a lot of mystique in there.... :D

26. I used to wear very brief briefs, like bikini-style,
but when I met my wife she somehow migrated me into basic white briefs. Like the Pelican Brief, but without the immense pecker that those birds sport. Now that I'm about to be a swingin' free man again (I'm growing my chest hair as fast as I can, to go with my big gold medallion) I'm rebelling by switching to colored versions. Yes, live dangerously, I say.

And I'm seriously considering switching to silk boxers - are they any cooler than briefs in this hot weather? I know silk has insulating properties, and the boxer design might help me breath. Well, not breath but, you know, keep things airier. Seems like my groin area is a thermal epicenter of some kind, and all that hot humid weather down there has Little Forrest gasping for breath. Any feedback on optimal male undies greatly appreciated by my little sweathog!

By the way, if 'commando-style' is naked, yeah, I do that sometimes (like right now, if you don't mind me getting so graphic) but it can be dangerous in more ways than one, so I'd rather contain my beast as a rule (though 'as a rule' is a poor choice of words, considering that it might falsely imply a beastly measure of 12" long).

62. When I wear silk shirts in hot, humid climes they tend to stick to me
and get soaked....I'd be kind of worried about that with boxers but I know that women who wear much more enclosed silk panties don't seem to have a problem.

Well, I mean, it's not like they voluntarily come up to me in the street and say "dude, my silk panties are totally sticking to my (etc, etc, etc)," at least not unless I venture into certain parts of a city, but I do get the impression that silk's a practical underwear material if you don't mind handwashing 'em.

And I do have to admit that I rather like the look of a silk top on a woman when she hits the air conditioning....

66. Well, everything's gonna stick to you
in the humidity. I don't know any fabric that doesn't. Sticky? Try prying off a pair of nylon pantyhose when every pore of your skin below the waist is sprouting water. Talk about chafing, Yuk!

You could do the cornstarch bit. That's one way to keep dry.

I'm so glad I don't do the kind of work anymore that requires me to wear pantyhose in the summer. Whew!

As for the a/c and nippleage, well that's why I wear a bra! :7

70. *mumble mumble* Darned bras
What? I didn't say nothing!

Yep, I've used cornstarch for years ('til recently - ran out) and that really does seem to help a lot. I was skeptical at first, though, because I pictured rivulets of gravy running down my thighs - you know, one of those socially-awkward things ("are you glad to see me or is that cornstarch in your briefs?").

And, yeah, pantyhose have got to be some kind of misogynistic man's revenge, or something....that's why I hardly ever wear them. I'll stick to my garters and fishnet stockings :D

90. I've worn silk boxers...
They're very slippery. As in, you tend to slide around in your chair a lot - it's a little distracting. And while I haven't had any overheating problems, they're not noticeably more comfortable.

When you include the added effort of cleaning silk, you'd be better off with standard boxers.

Unless you're in a situation where you might be showing them to someone, of course. In that respect, they're the male equivalent of lingerie - you look great in them, but they're not really practical for day-to-day wear...

:-) Hope this helps!

29. I was given
a pair of silk boxers by an former girlfriend a few years ago. They felt good as I was walking around. Too good. I had to retire them, because I got tired of having a constant "semi" whenever I wore them.

46. I don't like my silk boxers that much ...
They feel nice at fist, but then they kind of pinch. Maybe I just need one size larger?

53. Yes, they probably are too tight
Silk should be billowy... if that's a word. :silly:

65. Do they make exapnable ones?
Maybe that's what you need! Yeah, I suppose the silk doesn't 'give' very much, so I'd want to find a good fit because being pinched in your personal zones is not a lot of fun (unless it's done by a loved one, of course).

I think I'll give 'em a try, actually. There are worse things than being constantly semi-aroused....well, I mean, even more constantly than the average male already is.....

64. Well, that's the other thing I was worried about
:-) I just didn't want to voice it in mixed company - I'm just too genital gentile genteel for that.

I've only worn silk boxers as bedwear for intimate episodes, in the past, and it is a rather sleek and welcoming feel.

Still, I could always strap the offending 'semi' down, just above my knee.....

43. making the transition to boxer briefs ....
preferably in black or grey. Still have a drawerfull of tighty-whities which get worn if they are the only things clean.

58. actually I think that's an old folklore remedy
if a couple is having problems concieving, the guy can switch to boxers. (If that's an issue.) Tighties keep the sperm so close to the body that it gets too hot, therefore not enough swimmers to do the job.

Boxers are cooler and the little guys get going again. There's a reason the balls are outside the male body.

Not saying any of this is scientific, (most likely not), just an interesting bit of folklore. ;-)

79. You ever have hot sagging nuts glued to your leg and
make a sudden change in direction? That is why I no longer go commando. Boxer briefs for me and my nuts.

84. Briefs for me
anything else is too "loose."

I know, it's lame but it's me and I'm proud of it.

85. What?
No mesh thongs?
(Ewwwwwww! crotch floss! How to you ladies put up with a perma-wedgie all day?)

Actually, "commando" is the way to go in the swampy days of summer. Boxers the rest of the year.

..... and I'm amazed that an underwear thread had not had a visit from underpants yet, nor a link to either here or here!
