It's funny that everything I think of seems to fall into the "Love & Sex" category, but still...

Do you prefer boxers or briefs? Girls, too.

Girls: Can you tell by just looking at a guy if he's wearing boxers or briefs? DO you look?

I like either boxers or boxer-briefs in any nonwhite color. I don't like tighty whities, but I can tolerate them. I'm not talented enough to discern whether a guy is wearing boxers or briefs, unless they're hanging out.

How about the best of both worlds...boxer briefs! I like them better than any of the others. And I'm not a good judge of the boxer/brief question. I base it more on personality, and so far I haven't been right too many times.

Boxers. (Non-white, vinne!) I wore briefs for a long time, but then I tried boxers and there was no going back. I like to amuse my SO with the designs I get on them... =)

boxer briefs all the way.

Boxers just remind me of creepy bathing suits , like something that was supposed to be for a ten year old boy and went wrong so it fits a adult. Oooh and I hate all those ridiculous cartoons and things on them. I mean, I got rid of my wonder women underwear years ago.


As far as briefs they give me nightmares of seeing my brother walking around in the morning...*shivers*

Boxer briefs are the only thing that looks like a reasonable, functional and incredibly sexy undergarment for men. Atleast in my opinion anyway

one peice of advice....
stay away from thongs guys, trust me on this one, it is worse then walking around wearing nothing but your socks.

At the risk of generalizing - I've known very few guys who regularly wear boxers, but those who do, in my experience, have all been total jerks. My husband wears briefs because, in his words (or were those Cosmo Kramer's words?), "My boys gotta have a house."

As for looking, I usually don't look intentionally, but sometimes it's just really obvious - especially if he's wearing no underwear at all. Guys, know this: We can tell.

I was at a concert a few months ago, innocently enjoying the music, such subjects far from my mind - when suddenly I glimpsed that the singer appeared to be wearing nothing under his rather loose, thin pants. Just then he happened to turn around and bend over, showing a definite lack of panty lines and confirming my suspicion.

I turned to my friend and said, "I'm going to hell for noticing this - but Mike's not wearing any underwear." She glanced toward him and then burst out laughing: "Oh my god, now I am going to hell too!" Here's a great guy, a musician we know personally, admire and respect to no end (at least Lis will know who I mean), and we were completely distracted by this little personal fact about him for the rest of the show. And of course we had to point it out to our other friends, too.

It's been a running joke ever since - the next day at lunch, another friend spotted Mike's Hard Lemonade on the menu, prompting her to observe, "Mike's Hard...hmm, he wasn't last night! Thanks a lot, Katrin!"

Oh man, I am so going to hell for telling this story again. All concerned, please forgive me.

Complete oppsite from Katrin. . . generally speaking I know very few guys who wear anything but boxers.

Personally, I don't think a guy can go wrong with boxer briefs. Love those.

boxers, absolutely, and boxer briefs (the well-fitted knit ones) if at all possible. something about the cut of the boxer briefs elevates them out of the nasty trashy land of tighty whities. while tighty whities might meet your mother's direction that you wear clean underwear at all times in case you end up seeing a doctor, they do absolutely nothing for me.

absence of underwear is occasionally very appealing.

silk isn't too shabby, either.

i don't look, specifically, to determine the type of underwear. i'd also say that you really shouldn't be able to tell from the outerwear what the underwear is. if you can tell from 100 paces that wonderstud is wearing really tight underwear, then he's just lost out on several fashion fronts.

I dunno, EAC, you've never lived on the edge of the boonies like I have... There's me & my friends, all preppies living in subdivisions, and then on the other side of the Urban Growth Boundary, there's the hicks. They all wear wranglers.

I tried on a pair of wranglers in a store once, and my voice went up two octaves. How can they wear those things?!

i wear boxers. like someone said earlier, once you've tried them, you never go back. the only time i'll deviate from boxers is to wear boxer-briefs, but that's only when playing a sport. you gotta keep "big jim and the twins" in check when running up and down the basketball court.

au contraire, mon frere - i have lived in the boonies, cluelessmale. we had one stop light in town, and everything closed at 7. pickups were the preferred method of transport, that is, if you didn't have some beater old box of a sportscar wannabe. and fashion wasn't exactly at it's acme there. dressing up usually meant remembering to pull the jeans up over the ass crack.

Wranglers can be loose enough not to fit over an ass crack? I thought by the time I buttoned them that my ass was going to split the backside... and I have a really skinny (but well muscled) ass...

Boxers. Constantly.

And have you seen those new boxers that are like, "So ugly she'll beg you to take them off?" They're so ugly I'd break-up with you. Man.

I can only tell if they're wearing pants large enough that the top of the boxers are peeking out, which I like.

The boxer/briefs can be okay, but no on the briefs alone. I feel like we're seven.

And really, I can't complain about anything, because I've seen a dance belt, and I started crying.

well, see, if you only have one pair of wranglers and wear them *constantly*, they get kinda loose. this will automatically happen to you if you're wearing not too clean tighty whities, as the laws of physics say the pants must slide down to show both icky underwear and butt crack.

if you're young and trying to be hip, on the other hand, you go for the jeans that will negate the voice change you just suffered thru.

um, pamie... dance belt? i feel so sheltered. whassit?

Boys who dance and wear tights, or boy actors who are doing Shakespeare and have to wear tights have this thing called a dance belt that gives you the male ballet dancer look.

Basically it's a thong for men. I accidentally found Eric's once going through some socks. I screamed and threw it to the ground, thinking I had just found ugly flesh-colored women's underwear hiding in his socks.

I was relieved and intrigued once I found out what it really was.

I am a girl (well - sort of. But that's a subject for another forum)and I wear boxer briefs. I *love* them - incredibly comfy, no chafing, softoftsoft - and people I take my pants off for go nuts to discover them under there. Maybe it's the pervert grrl-in-boys-underwear factor, but it hits every time.

Calvin Klein makes excellent striped ones in a bunch of different cool stripes. We like it, oh yes we do.

I wear boxers or boxer briefs (any color), but I prefer boxer briefs. On occasion, I like to use a healthy dose of baby powder there, and with boxer briefs, I can just dump it in and it doesn't fall on the floor!

Speaking of which, I'll pass on this bit of advice that I learned today:
baby powder-dusted genitals + black shorts + 3 cups of coffee = bad idea!

Have I shared too much? Perhaps...

Defiantly briefs. It\rquote s the same concept as the sports bra. You can\rquote t have your stuff flopping around all the time can you? Besides if you wear boxers with dress pants it looks like you have an armadillo in your pants. I really don\rquote t want my coworkers to know which direction Russell leans. Silk boxers on occasion is cool. Nice to sleep in if you can\rquote t wear your birthday suit. Tried those boxer briefs things, but felt like I was wearing a diaper.

I like briefs! Colored briefs are nice.

With boxers everything is wiggling around. Not good with dressy slacks. I don't want to be able to tell how happy Professor Smith is to see me!!! (AND IT IS WAYYYY OBVIOUS WHEN WEARING BOXERS!!)

Boxers are much better for romantic occasions but under pants, tightee whitees or blackees or redees or blue-ees all the way.

Don't give a toss what some guy's underwear preferences are if I'm going to be in a position to see for myself, as long as said underwear is gender-appropriate, clean and devoid of certain Bad Things.

Bad Things include: ugly patterns, sayings (special dispensation for subtle designer vanity signatures on band), cartoons, beer adverts or beer advert characters, religious art (look, Jesus is saying 'hello'!), foreign lipstick prints, muppets, holiday themes, bells, pockets, glow-in-the-dark surprises, frills, putrid aromas, plaid ribbons, tears or rips, zippers, velcro, dry cleaner tags safety pinned to the back, after-market holes or garter straps.

When confronted with a choice between Extremely Creative Underwear (i.e., Underwear With One or More Bad Things) and anything else, anything else wins hands down.

I'm with Pamie--Uglies--"so ugly she'll beg you to take them off"--would be a deal breaker.

Exboyfriend / male friend poll shows a predominace towards the good ol' tighty whitey, though one ex would probably wear tighty blackies (to match the rest of his wardrobe) if he could find them.

Two male roommates wore a variety of underthings to go with whatever pair of pants they would be wearing that day, which seemed sensible to me as I do the same thing and which fact I knew only because as we all shared a washer.

Bad, evil, wannabe-boyfriend wore boxers. Not that I wanted to know that. He thought they were hot. Perhaps this has shaped my perception of boxers negatively.

Another of my male roommates went sky-clad. Which I didn't want to know, but he felt compelled to share this data anyway.

If it doesn't make me wonder about your sanity, taste, or level of desperation to impress, then whatever is under there--be it boxers, briefs or 'nuttin', honey'--is going to be okay.

On guys: Boxers (or drawers/draw's) Hands down. No Question. After 2nd grade, breifs shall be strictly prohibited, and as for that boxer breif thing, I've heard alot of women say they like them, or love them, but I think they look quite retarded. I am not a fan.

Now, I wear draw's to sleep/work-out/hang out in my dorm in, and a guy friend and I have argued on occasion about the hiney pouch. A couple of pairs of my gap draw's have a pouch on the hiney, and two rear seams, preventative measures for wedgies. As I am not a big fan of the wedgie (no thong for me!!) I really appreciate the hiney pouch, but said friend things they are retarded, ridiculous, and unwearable. He's a knit boxer boy, and I don't blame him, those things are so soft and I've got to get me some!!! Mine are generally the woven kind that come from teh GAP with lots of random prints, like bugs and cars and stuff.

I've said alot. What do you boys think of the hiney pouch? I say, love me, love my pouchy butt.

in most cases, boxers just *look* cuter to me. tighty-whities tend to look dirty and worn-thin, but the material and color on many boxers helps prevent this effect. and for guys with less-than-exceptional rear ends, boxers help give a nice, well-rounded illusion.

and, having grown up in and near high-density redneck areas, i just *cannot* stand to look at another yucky boy or man lounging about in floppy nasty briefs "'cuz it's hot out and they don't have ac." but that may be a phenomenon strictly limited to my particular area...

Boxers, baby.

If a man wears boxers around me it is a fact that he would be putting himself in danger of being pounced from across the room.

As for myself: I like to sleep in boxers. But I'm with Sisqo: give me that thong, tha-thong thong thong!

Boxers or Briefs? Helloooo?

Boxers or none. simple, that is it. Boxer briefs are semi-acceptable if you are involved in a sporting activity requiring "placement"

Work or Rest? boxers or none. Never Y-Fronts. Never EVER EVER. And none of those "bananna hammocks" you see in magazines like GQ. nope, no way. not ever.

When out on a motorcycle ride, I will wear compression shorts. (bicycle pants) under my leathers to keep everything in it's rightful place. You cannot imagine the pain of an artfully executed 3 gear 4 block wheelie, then slamming the front of the bike down and mashing your bits and pieces into the gas tank at 95 mph. Bicycle shorts fix this. You know where you are at all times.

BUT, at home, at work, at a club, Boxers or none.

I do somewhat disagree about the "no cutesy print" on the boxers, as most of mine are cow spotted. (intentionally, from the factory)

Silk is okay, but not in this heat. Flannel, amazingly, is GOOD STUFF.

No briefs, not ever. if they are white, they say "my mommie still buys my undies, I am a widdle boy on the inside, and I am not able to commit fully to you"

If they are multi colored and bikini, they say one of two things:

A) I DO look good in these, "my boyfriend buys them for me, and he does not like to share"

or

B) I do not look good in these, I am a loser, I think I am cool, "wanna see my Corvette? How about my Etchings"


Ladies. boxers. or none. and if none, make sure the guy is INTO frequent showers.

you're right. i cannot imagine that kind of pain. nor do i really want to try. ow.

as for the white briefs, it doesn't just say "mommie still buys my undies", it proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt. case in point: my ex-husband. drawers full of tighty whities and white tube socks, which his mother faithfully replenished every birthday/xmas/random holiday/for no reason. i finally put my foot down (so to speak), and announced to him that if he was truly incapable of buying his own undergarments, that it was no longer his mother's job, but mine, and if he didn't say something to her about it, i would. i did. needless to say, i also gave the job back.

(edited because not only can i not close my own tags, i'm real good at deleting others...)

I haven't worn tighty-wighties since junior high. It's boxers all the way. Boxer briefs are cool as long as they're 100% cotton. Why do they even make cotton/polyester underwear? Nothing is more uncomfortable to me. Silk boxers are cool but silk doesn't give. Guys, ever racked yourself just by moving the wrong way in silk boxers? Oh, the pain.

"Boxer briefs are semi-acceptable if you are involved in a sporting activity requiring "placement""

Man, I don't get that at all. Just walking around requires palcement! Boxer briefs are definitely my choice. I wore boxers for years, and was perfectly content in that little world, but then I had the boxer rebellion. I just got tired of having no structure in my life. Have you ever seen an olympic diver? They have a platform to dive from. That's what I need... A platform. It is very similar to girls and bras I think. With boxers, you might as well go commando because they are not going to hold up the ponies at all, and just hanging out all flippy-floppy is dangerous to say the least.

And what's up with the names here fellas? "Big Johnson", "The Professor", etc.

I had a friend once that called his "Nutty Buddy". What a moron.
