Undies or Commando?

Neutral777

I live in Florida where it is usually hot and humid. Due to the environment, most people here go without underwear. At least the bottoms anyway. Boys by far out number the girls in this aspect as well.

My question: Is there a health related reason for wearing underwear?

The general statement by the guys here is that it is far too hot and that can pose a problem for your testicles.

What is your take?
 
well it can kill sperm as it needs to be kept at a lower than body temperature (hence why it is in a sac "out" of the body)

I dont think there is any long term damage to it though.

and just wear more comfortable boxers instead of tight underwears.
 
I also heard that it could be harmful to your testicles if you were to run with boxers on, since they bounce up and down and whatnot, instead of being more restrained with underwear. Can anyone verify this? :P

I wear boxers btw.

That's the silliest thing I've ever heard, right up there with "drinking Mountain Dew will make your balls shrink."

I see no problem with commando, but I don't do it because generally the fabric on the inside of pants/shorts isn't as soft and forgiving as boxers. The last thing I need is to painfully rub the epidermis off my pecker.
 
I always wear fiber-elastic boxers, they're the comfiest shit ever. I honestly hate not wearing underwear, because it's just too uncomfortable, with my junk bouncing around and all.
 
I wear Boxers during the day (and during PE for that matter), and Jocks when I'm joging (since the shorts I have to run in are... incompatible with Boxers). I would have only gone commando when I was younger. I don't do that anymore lol.

I'm assuming you mean they have all that stupid netting shit on the inside. Just get a knife and cut it all out, I do it with all my shorts.

I live in a cold, wet climate so it's always boxers for me.
 
I've worn everything, from "whitey-tighties" when I was a wee little kid, to boxers, to Under Armor spandex (for football/track), to boxers, and now to boxer briefs. I can say 100% absolutely sure of myself that wearing any of the above (or nothing at all) can really mess you up. Unless the underwear you're wearing has something in the fabric that you're allergic to, you're pretty much safe. I myself would much rather wear something under my pants/shorts in hot weather, just because it's more comfortable and it acts as a barrier between your goods and the heat (ever sit on a really hot seat in swimming trunks?).

But I just started wearing boxer briefs a couple of months ago, and they're the most comfortable underwear I've worn. I also live in Las Vegas (getting to about 115 degrees F now...), and they don't bother me more than any other underwear has, so no worries ;).
 
Fiber-elastic boxers, too.Though sometimes I have to use these really loose boxers...I don't really like that, but it's ok.If I am home, the loose kind are ok, but when at job or some other place, nuh-uh.

Also, no-underwear isn't that comfortable, unless you aren't wearing pants at all.
 
I usually just wear boxers. On my trip to Florida last June, it didn't really cause any problems (at least that I noticed). Generally, the choice with the most ventilation is my favorite, although, I don't go commando. One of my classmates was pantsed while he was commando... to say the least, he wasn't very happy.

As long as I don't have to do much rapid, strenuous activity, boxers are fine.
Going commando while playing tennis never struck me as a good idea, especially in 90 degree weather where the court surface is even hotter. In cases like that, I'll go with underarmor-style spandex over the boxers. The problem with briefs and boxer briefs is that unless you can get a special kind, they absorb too much goddamn sweat.

Besides, going commando with tight jeans is just disgusting.
 
I never go commando. My jeans would rub too much for me to be comfortable.

But it never gets hot around here anyway, so whatever.

I'm seriously thinking about picking up a bunch of these to try out. When I'm at the gym and start sweating the legs of my boxers get all twisted up and annoy the shit out of me, and I have to keep readjusting the waist area too. It could just be that all my boxers are different sizes and most are probably too big for me now that I've slimmed down, though.
 
What's cool about the boxer briefs is that they don't ride up like regular boxers do, and if your pants start sagging at all you can pull them up without worrying about your boxers going up too (like regular ones would). It also keeps everything from flopping about, which is nice, and helps keep you...erh...less visible, should you unwillingly become...aroused in public..yeah..

Hanes > Fruit of the Loom :).
 
I don't care how hot or cold it is; I'm too modest to wear shorts without underpants, and going commando with jeans is uncomfortable and unsettling.

As for what kind of underwear I use, I'll just wear anything, but it's mostly non-boxer type things. I actually like them better because of some... uh... interesting thoughts that might go through my head in public at bad times.
 
I figured that scientifically, those who design underwear of any form would take steps to engineer undies that cause minimal damage.

I guess my question would be if it is just an extra layer of clothes left up to preference or if undies have an actual purpose in the grand scheme of things.
 
Boxer brief is how I roll. I always wear them wherever I go, but sometimes I decide to go commando when I can't be bothered slipping a pair of boxer brief on. Boxer briefs are pretty comfortable and I've liked them a lot more than fabric boxers ever since I started wearing them.
 
It's uncomfortable going commando. Boxers are very comfortable. Boxers win :) Plus like the other guys said, Canada is fucking freezing when it's not summer.

this would be a serious flaw in our anatomy if this were true. our prehistoric ancestors no doubt had to run a lot, what with all the dinosaurs and mammoths wandering round. goes without saying these guys had no underwear for suspension.
