Boxers or briefs-does it MATTER?

    My hubby is tall and thin,but muscular, not puny.He insists on wearing briefs and I think they just look foul.

    I have bought him dead sexy jersey boxers, but he'll wear them once or twice and then go back to wearing KNICKERS and I hate it!

    Why do you brief wearing men find them better than boxers?
    Just as an aside, I wear thongs, but on the odd occasion when I decide to wear my big knickers, a comment is always made, so I think I'm entitled to have a preference :D

    I'm sorry, but I think he's gay and it's his way of letting you know. I mean c'mon like, BRIEFS!!! :eek:

    Why don't you start wearing big knickers more often? If he wants thongs then tell him he better start wearing knickers.

    It looks like I might be in the minority here, but I don't mind a guy in briefs. Sometimes boxers just look like really baggy shorts, leaving too much to the imagination. I prefer something. more. snug. :)

    Did it- he just goes to M&S and gets new ones

    I DO mean to boast, but my man is like a tripod if ya know what I mean, so he needs briefs larger than his regular size for the support.. Can't have that thing danglin' half way down your leg in public!! People will think he's smuggling a gun or somethin!

    :D:D:D

    Well I hate boxer shorts. They feel so loose and sloppy and give no support at all. You might as well go commando. Therefore the only purpose of Boxers is so that dirty feckers who can't wipe their arse don't soil their trousers with sh*te

    Briefs and boxer briefs are so much better. And boxer briefs offer the best of both worlds - support without the stupid stigma that people attach to briefs. And anyone who thinks that supporting your nob is not important should read up on a "pleasant" medical condition called Torsion of the Testes (otherwise known as Twisting Your Bollox)

    Also, women with small tits can often get away without wearing a bra whereas more well endowed women can't. Same principle applies to men, their nobs and their choice of underwear....

    so you have a small knob and put a sock into your briefs???

    My girlfriend always gives out to me for wearing briefs as opposed to boxers, and my answer is Brian3D's. I like a bit of support from my underwear thanks - boxers don't provide this. Boxer briefs I find oddly uncomfortable (although I know that this is just me, dunno why but I do) and boxers...well, christ, you might as well just wear shorts and be done with it.

    I've never understood the "boxers = great, briefs = horrible" stigma - I've seen far more pairs of horrible horrible boxers on sale in shops (and, on one memorable occasion, being worn by our history teacher who had deemed it sensible to drop his trousers in the middle of class. :eek: But that's another story entirely) than I have manky briefs.

    Also, quite why someone else expects to tell me what I should wear to cover and hold my bits up is beyond me. I mean, I don't go around saying "wear a thong and a wonderbra" to people...(although perhaps I should start, by the sound of things)

    No way - he puts the bin out without being reminded.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    i personally wear neither. altho, i think Boxers are the way to go...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Bart: Dad, do you wear boxers, or briefs?

    Homer(checking): No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,257 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    Boxers all the way. I do have some nice CK boxer briefs, nice and snug ;)
    Y-fronts are for old men.

    Just reading what was being said and being a boxer man myself asked my brother which he uses.
    Boxers! I'll keep my testicles thank you very much

    I think it says it all really.

    Yup same here. Do you briefs boyos realise that the bondage causes your tackle to be too hot ;)

    Anything over 35C and they won't produce the goodies. Well they might, but them goodies won't be swimming no more ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,579 ✭✭✭Pet


    Which isn't really a problem unless you're looking to start a family....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 471 ✭✭tovalee


    My opinion: Who f****n cares what type of gutchens he wears?! As long as he changes them daily and they're not stained I couldn't care less. ;)



    ... I'm done with this soapbox if anyone else needs it....
    :D:D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,478 ✭✭✭tribble


    Frankly I don't see any advantage to wearing boxers over going commando.

    Briefs keep my knob and nuts safe when I'm jogging or just plain walking around.

    If he keeps on wearing your knickers just buy boxers then he'll wear them instead

    Says something different to what you might think. Put it this way - you try cycling to & from work, playing soccer, and practicing a martial art with heavy emphasis on various types of kicks and lunges, wearing only boxers for support. I give you a week, maybe two at the outside, before you end up catching yourself in a very uncomfortable way. Won't happen with briefs cos they give support.

    As for the temperature of my testicles...I'm not rampantly trying to breed, so it's not exactly a concern for me. Or for many other people, I should imagine. Christ, anyone'd think there was some sort of infertility epidemic caused by brief-wearing. (That'd be a headline, eh?)
