Boxers or briefs?

Postby Nensha » Mon Nov 25, 2024 8:48 am

Greetings, NationStates General! Let's dive into the age-old question that has divided men (and those who buy their underwear) for decades: Boxers or Briefs?

Which do you prefer and why? Are you a fan of the freedom and breezy comfort of boxers, or do you prefer the snug support of briefs? Maybe you're a fan of boxer-briefs, or something else entirely—trunks, jocks, or commando?

EDIT: I prefer briefs style underwear ("tighty whities") because of the support. I don't like the feeling of underwear on my legs so I don't wear boxer-briefs.

Boxer-briefs. I like the style and a snug fit. What do you think?

Boxers - specifically boxer briefs - all the way.
I am an anarchist/libertarian socialist. Policies of my country roughly reflect my views IRL. Click below for more information on my political views, which are specifically about my views with relation to the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
FUCK ISRAEL! I support peace, therefore I stand with Palestine. I want a bi-national solution, a state in which Jews and Palestinians can coexist peacefully. The onus is on Israel to stop this - it can do it anytime by bringing a ceasefire and ending apartheid.

25 years old. AUDHD. Scottish. I am an agnostic theist. Fan of Manchester United and Edinburgh City.

This may be worth a read.

Anyway, briefs are much too constraining and boxers feel a bit exposing. Boxer-briefs are a solid medium.

I prefer briefs ("tighty whities") because I like the support. I'm physically active.

I also don't like the feeling of fabric on my legs so I don't wear boxer-briefs, which aren't supportive enough to me anyway.

Does anyone else perceive a stigma against briefs style underwear? I think it is motivated by homophobia, hypermasculinity, etc..

I'm pretty sure if anyone cares what underwear you wear, they're just into you.

I am unaware of such a stigma. At least, for me, it really just boils down to comfort. Homophobic or hyper-masculine men, as you describe, who judge other men based on their choice of under-garment likely have their own inner conflicts to address.

Many thanks. Let's just keep this conversation under-cover for now. No need for to get our knickers in a twist.

As somebody who wear briefs I get remarks like "tighty whities," "You still wear those?" and so on. I agree that it relates to an inner conflict.

Honestly, it shouldn't matter what you wear. Or don't wear. It's what you are comfortable in that matters.

I agree.

Somewhat surprised there isn't a perceived stigma though. Must be a local thing.
