I've always been curious, because I'm not fond of underwear, but I don't know how people make it work. Wouldn't you have to wash the trousers every single day? How else would you keep them fresh? Do you use special deodorant for the area or panty liners on the trousers?

I have no clue how people would do it, since I don't even understand how other men can wear boxers without accidentally giving their nuts a good squeeze sometimes. Tight briefs keep those out of harm's way.

I don't get boxers either. It's just going commando with an extra step. The sole thing you stand to gain (support) is nonexistent with boxers. I don't know why people bother.

Boxers provide a layer between you and the pants. With commando the pants would need washing sooner.

You should wash your pants dude

I wind up getting claustrophobic in briefs and have to adjust a lot more than when I'm in boxers. And I bother with wearing boxers because they are softer than the fabric of the pants I wear.

If you're claustrophobic with that much space, doesn't that mean sex and other activities involving small orifices are gonna be problematic for you?

amazes me how careless people can be. like tuck your shit down, zip your pants up. not difficult. just pay attention to what you’re doing. if you can’t handle that, button fly.

I'm not talking about getting them jammed in the zipper, I'm talking about getting them pinched between my leg and my torso.
