Boxers, Briefs, or Bare?
This is a serious topic and that necessitates a bit of delving into history.
The evolution of male undies Let’s jump backwards to the 1950’s. Until then, men had one color choice – white. In other words, men’s undies were viewed as utilitarian necessities, which made it a cinch for them to rummage through their underwear drawer in the morning, blearyeyed and halfasleep, to choose the color of the day. (We can assume that “Days of the Week” undies were not an option.)
The Male Undergarment Revolution began in the 1950’s when manufacturers started producing printed and colored undergarments. So now the rummagingchoosing process becomes more challenging. “Is it a blue day? No, I wore that yesterday. I’m not sure I’m really in the mood for red. Maybe that red and black plaid. No, that might show through my beige shorts." Although now more colorful, men’s undergarments were still utilitarian – nothing sexy about them, until the 1970s when Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Jockey conspired for gender equality and introduced male undergarments with sex appeal – thus making the rummagingchoosing process nearly impossible.
In 1985, model Nick Kamen stripped to his boxers in a laundromat to the sound of Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” creating a huge leap in boxer popularity. (Where was I when this historical event happened?)
So now for the real meat crux of this story:
MEN, YOU ARE JUDGED BY YOUR UNDIES. Yep. Women believe that your undies reveal who you really are, underneath it all.
Boxers – (Currently the number 1 choice of underwear for men.) You are definitely into comfort and tradition, and you are not impulsive. You enjoy that kind of unconstructed feeling, and “letting it all hang out. ” You are also a bit into propriety and safety. Think about it: Boxers don’t immediately announce when Mr. Happy is really happy. And, if there was a fire in the middle of the night and you had to run outside quickly and hang out with the rest of the block, boxers are more concealing with less 'hanging out.'
Briefs – (a.k.a. tighty whities) You like safety, restriction, and feeling “boyish.” The primary problem with tighty whities is the “white” issue. Your briefs better look like a Clorox commercial or they are a major turnoff for women. Although sparkling white says “sanitary” and “pure” which is another turnoff, so basically it’s a nowin situation. Buy colored briefs. Neutral, manly colors.
BoxerBriefs – This option is becoming more and more popular. Boxerbriefs offer the best of both worlds –they are snug, comfortable, they don’t bunch up, and they can show off those magnificent quads. You can’t go wrong with boxerbriefs. This choice indicates that you can think outside the box and you know how to get your needs met.
Thongs – You are probably an exhibitionist, or vain. Women believe that thongs are for women.
Do you wear a variety of styles and colors? Sounds wellrounded and adventuresome.
Bare – We haven’t yet mentioned the advantages of going bare, and they are significant: less laundry, less to pack when traveling, no early morning decisionmaking, less to take off when you go to bed. And if you count up the dollars saved during a year of no undergarment purchases, you’ve got an evening of romance at the drivein (with popcorn and sodas) paid for.
But going bare has a disadvantage or three: irritation from your outer clothing, a bit of explaining to do when you are in the doctor’s office and the nurse says “take off everything but your underwear.”
Above all, be very cautious when wearing short shorts and sitting crosslegged. Although this could also be to your advantage.
