Wearing no underwear may be traditional, but risky
Your mother will tell you that you should wear underwear all the time, and it should be decent looking in case you are in a car wreck. You’ve all heard that one (especially the women).
However, your mother isn’t you, and she probably isn’t aware that your best option is wearing no underwear, or “going commando” on occasion. Maybe even all the time. She doesn’t need to know.
The primary reason that guys shouldn’t wear any underwear is that bare skin rubbing against clothing spreads germs and sweat onto clothing and vice versa. This won’t be hygienic. Furthermore, wearing underwear is definitely more discreet.
It is wise to wear fashionable underwear when flitting around town in a kilt. One strong breeze and you’re going to be showing off your manhood to the whole world.
Wear clean underwear if you choose to wear them at all. When you sweat this stains your underwear just like the sweat from your armpit stains t-shirts. If you can’t get your underwear really white — toss them out. Consider this a shopping opportunity.
Are you a fan of sagging pants? Do you coordinate your underwear to the rest of your clothing, with the intention of your pants hanging too low? This may come as a surprise to some of you but the public you know, those people you pass on the street or stand in line with at the grocery store really don’t want to see your underwear.
Show your underwear off when in the boudoir, not when you’re strolling down Main Street.
When underwear shopping, and, yes, you should do this occasionally don’t count on mom’s annual Christmas offering of undies to last you through the year you have three main options: boxers, briefs, and tight (but stretchy) boxer shorts.
Survey says!
According to The Ultimate Underwear survey, men have definite preferences when it comes to their underwear.
The underwear that guys wear most often is boxer briefs (44 %). Boxer shorts came in second (36%) and briefs came in third (33%). However, 19% of those polled wear nothing at all. Twelve percent opt for a jockstrap, whereas 18 percent wear a thong. Sixteen percent go for bikinis and four percent wear tengas.
If the guy is setting out to impress someone he wears boxer briefs. His next choice is briefs followed by a thong or nothing at all.
The underwear you choose should be the style and type that are most comfortable. Briefs are versatile and do the job no matter what you are engaging in but there are times that you should air out the genital area. Either go commando at night or wear loose-fitting boxers when you sleep.
Another option, the boxer brief, provides coverage and enough support to see you through an intense workout session, but it’s also comfortable.
Some people consider briefs outdated but if you like them, wear them. If you sit all day long at work, briefs are the most comfortable because they stay in place and form to your butt. However, if the briefs are too tight this can cut off your circulation. Sometimes the elastic on the briefs are simply too unyielding around the waist or thighs. Either get a bigger size or opt for a different style that isn’t as constricting.
Loose boxers are, indeed, comfortable, particularly while you are sleeping, but they don’t provide any support. Don’t wear them when you are working out, or if you have to sit all day long. On the other hand, a tight boxer will provide good support, fit your thighs well, form your body and stay in place.
The next time you get a chance, go on a little shopping spree and check out the various types of men’s underwear. Buy one of each kind. Try them out on a day when you aren’t going to work and if they are miserably uncomfortable, you can take them off and aren’t stuck in them all day. Ask your significant other which s/he prefers. You might be surprised.
