Straight guys don’t wear briefs anymore

How dare they not dress for the sake of your gawping, elderly gym troll!

They all wear board shorts too. No one wears Speedos anymore.

i love boxer briefs, OP.

OP, I agree with you. I wear briefs as a 26 year old. I don't understand how boxer briefs became the thing. I tried them as a high school kid, but they just were NOT for me. They didn't hold everything close to me like I liked as a kid before I started caring about clothes or the popular thing. I definitely couldn't do boxers...can't have a big dick and wear boxers - just doesn't work out right.

Hopefully short shorts and tight pants fashions that are so popular now will push briefs back into trend. So much easier to wear tight clothes when you have less fabric underneath!

My boys need a house.

Odd, R1 . . . I see tons of straight men in briefs at my Manhattan gym, and also the gym at Columbia University where I teach. Not necessarily the old fashioned Y Front brief but lots of Tommy John, Mack Weldon, etc. Generally, it's men in their twenties to mid forties.

Look who wears briefs. and, thankfully, he's straight.

I hate the too long Fruit of the Loom style boxer briefs. I like trunks though, both on me and on others. In my lifetime it’s gone from nearly every man in white briefs (I hate the term tighty whities), to color briefs and bikini briefs, to fun prints on old fashioned boxers in the late 80s, to boxer briefs in the 90s and beyond. Maybe the cycle will repeat.

Man panties are a real turn off, as is cheap underwear, like Hanes and Fruit of the Loom.

But lets face it, if you have a rockin' body, you'll look good in anything and nothing.

[quote] Man panties are a real turn off, as is cheap underwear, like Hanes and Fruit of the Loom.

Disagree — expensive designer underpants are rather femmy imo.

OP, don't boxer briefs do a better job of showing off the ass? (on a young, fit guy)

Ain't nothing hotter than round bouncy asscheeks spilling out the bottom of some briefs.

Case closed.

Yep.

They're erotic, but most men (gay or straight) would sacrifice titillating elderly gym trolls in favor of being comfortable.

No one in the world cares whether elderly gym trolls are titillated, other than the elderly gym trolls themselves (as this thread proves).

OP where have you been the last 25 years?

Indeed, R13.

If you’re just noticing this, you’re dense

[quote]I don't understand how boxer briefs became the thing.

How sad for you that you can't grasp that idea that most people would favor comfort over appearance for something that few other people actually ever see.

I don't understand how you don't understand how boxer briefs became a thing.

R20, um...I admitted I'm 26 years old so I think I have more of a right than your tired, old ass, to say what I said, which YOU can't say because they didn't make your size when they first came out. Not only that, I can grasp the idea quite clearly - you can't grasp the idea of an opinion on an opinion board website. Bye!

LOL - age has nothing to do with being too stupid to figure out something as simple as this.

But, of course, it's about your "right" to say something, no matter how asinine it is.

[quote]Not only that, I can grasp the idea quite clearly

Apparently, not since you said "I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW BOXER BRIEFS BECAME A THING."

Silly fool. You clearly stated that you cannot grasp the idea clearly at all.

I wore briefs until my mid 20s, then I wore boxers until my 40s, and have been wearing boxer briefs since, I am 69. There is something warped and cluttered about briefs, unless you are young and ripped. Just for the record.

If you’re hot, wear sexy briefs to the gym. Nobody will say anything. Give it a few weeks, and enjoy the appearance of more.

Men don’t immediately follow a fashion course, but if they like it, they’ll wear it.

Because boxer briefs are what men's underwear should always have been. They are the most evolved underwear. Case closed.

R25, if that's the way they should have always been, then Fruit of the Loom and Hanes need to step their game up. Those brands fit horribly in jeans - at least to me, they do.

I guess the reason why I'm against boxer briefs is because they also can bunch up on you like regular boxers do (to some people)...then you have to reach down your pants in the bathroom to adjust.

So another question or two after OPs question: for the guys who have low-hanging fruit, are showers instead of growers, and/or actually just have a big dick regardless, which one feels better and more comfortable on you if you've tried both? Could you explain (or for you DL voyeurs, show us) in detail how you came to that decision?

Men reject briefs because they are perceived as little boy or girly underwear. Boxer briefs are viewed as manly, masculine.

R8:

HA-ha-ha! EXACTLY why I wear plain, standard, boring, military-issue, non-foofy white cotton boxers.

The problem with regular tightey whitey briefs is that my goods tend to fall out the leg. I find that Meundies briefs don't have this problem and I also really like their trunks.

I like foofy panties.

I prefer these

^^^ web link fail

No shit

Now THIS is the underwear of my youth. Today’s boxer briefs are too skimpy. The look on the right is so practical you could walk down the street in them and no one would bat an eye.

There’s that Mormon magical undergarments with the Masonic symbols on it.

This might come the closest so far.

Love the friendly hand on the shoulder

R26 I have a big (though not HUGE) dick and I much prefer briefs over boxer briefs, primarily for the support. I don't find boxer briefs keep my dick in place throughout the day and it would be uncomfortable if it was flopping left or right down my leg, not to mention fairly obvious. If I were to get an erection in boxer briefs it would be very obvious.

I also have reasonably muscular legs so I find the cut of briefs to be more comfortable and provide more comfortable movement.

Additionally, I find wearing boxer briefs under clothing to be uncomfortable as there is too much fabric and it can end up bunching/riding up. I wear them occasionally in bed if it's too cold to be fully nude or if I have house guests.

I find briefs fucking disgusting. When I’m in the gym and sneak a peak, anyone wearing them is usually a strutting wanker on the floor or the kind of guy who sidles up to the middle urinal. Although when that happens, I find my ‘nice dick’ comment usually makes them do their business very quickly.

I wear only boxer briefs, black.

Racist

Wearing these guarantees action.

"Straight guys don’t wear briefs anymore"

Straight guys--who the fuck cares?

They obviously care desperately about themselves, but I personally do not give a shit.

Mormon garments, the bottoms, are tantamount to boxer briefs.

ass spillage out the back 🤤

R44, isn't President Oaks the most hot silver fox you've ever seen? I wonder if he did porn before under a different name because I just can't get into the Mormon thing. That's not my style.

Another vote for trunks.

God, r22. Calm down. What makes some people comfortable, doesn't work for others. Each individual has their own lifestyle and body types.

I like the trunks because they don't ride up like boxer briefs or bind like briefs. The flyless FOL work for me. They look good on me, but they also show that I don't play dress up with the boys.

Like many of the posters above, I couldn't possibly wear boxers, with my huge junk.

Those of you claiming to have huge junk, please post pics.

Thanks.

R48, I know "President Oaks" has done a few scenes at familydicks.com. He's in some of the previews at the site.

Yes, he is gorgeous and exactly my type. I think he must have been a model of some kind - perhaps a catalog model for someplace like J. Crew or Brooks Brothers - in the past. It's funny; if you search for information, all you get are links to Mormonboyz and a bunch of questions asking "who is this guy?" It's rare to find so little information on a porn performer who's popular and fairly well known, albeit within a niche community.

The place to see the most of our President is in the Mormongirlz videos (which go by a variety of similar names) that are widely available at pornhub, xvideos and the like. Of course, they're straight and still Mormon-themed, so that might not interest you.

Most guys I know either wear boxers or the loose-fitting boxer-briefs (I think they are called "knitted boxers" or something--see link)

Sometimes ProMos wear designer panty type things too.

Who are "ProMos", please?

Professional Homosexuals--guys whose entire identity is wrapped up in being gay and doing gay things and going to gay restaurants/resorts, etc.

Oaks.

Is it true that guys who wear boxers likely have tiny junk?

R53/YMF LOL at "ProMos". I'm going to steal it.

R57, a glance at any old movie - where ALL the men are wearing boxers - should disabuse you of that notion. Boxers are uncomfortable with tight pants. They are uncomfortably explicit for non-exhibitionists in sweatpants and like, which you shouldn't be wearing in public very often anyway. In those situations, something with control is desirable.

Otherwise, boxers are very comfortable. Yes, you bounce around a bit, but on the other hand, your essential equipment is getting plenty of ventilation. Woven cotton boxers are much less sweaty than any knit underwear can be, although the loose knit boxer briefs at R53 are OK.

Mesh cotton briefs. Can be found in UK, Holland and Switzerland. Dutch guys have big schlongs and wear briefs.

I find regular white or color briefs on guys hot but I hate the overly fussy Andre Christian style briefs that are meant to be sexy and come in loud colors like hot pink and turquoise.

[quote]Dutch guys have big schlongs

Link please

OP: It’s paranoia.

Briefs feel better to me, the keep my junk from sticking to my leg unlike boxer briefs.

It's odd some think they are for woman, boxer briefs if you want to be honest are like panty hose with the legs cut off.

This one does:

I like trashy overpriced "sexy" briefs on trashy, overly-ripped sexy young men.

This has been true for decades. I went to boarding school 1992-1998, not a pair of briefs in sight, anywhere.

Yeah, why is OP just discovering this. Was was true by the mid 80s

The association of briefs with girliness has killed their appeal to the mainstream. Likewise, the fact that only gay men and gay culture show men wearing briefs anymore has been the death knell of the style for most men. In America, the only time we see men is when gay men wear them or models are wearing them to appeal to gay men. Other men take note and steer clear of them.

And what about the myriad other gay things that straight men now embrace, R68? I doubt that has anything to do with it. The vast majority of gay men are probably wearing boxer briefs, too.

Yes younger gay men Mostly wear boxer briefs, but a lot of gay men 55 and up still wear briefs

It’s telling that Andrew Christian and 2xist mainly sell and advertise briefs even in the nonbrief era. Why? Because they mostly sell to gay men.

Andrew Christian, and to a lesser extent 2xist and C-In2, feature briefs in very fem or unconventional cuts and styles. Their briefs often aren’t even conventional. Likewise, their advertising prominently depict their models as fem or gender fluid. Hanes and Fruit of the Loom still try to portray briefs as masculine style.

No gay guy under 75 would wear Hanes or FOTL briefs.

I wear Hanes briefs, am very comfortable in them, they show my dick nicely, and I think I look good in them.

R73, you meant “no stereotypical gay guy.” Plenty or mainstream dudes who happen to be bi or gay do. They aren’t into being an archaic stereotype.

I wish a hot hung rapper would pay homage to MC Hammer and remake this video while wearing some briefs. I bet you that would renew interest in them!

Wow he was sexy!

R68, not just girly, but worse … European. Probably no one cares now, but in the ‘80s, when briefs were starting to die out, they were seen as Euro-trashy and/or French by American men. That was not considered a good thing.

“Andrew Christian” looks like a porn studio. It’s probably nothing more than a brothel for its CEO.

AC is trashy fem clothing

Boxer briefs remind me of woman's Girdle, just saying.

Briefs remind people of panties

Boxer briefs remind people Girdles

Or drag queens.

R84, you’re weird

I still wear my Hanes briefs, except when freeballing, which I tend to do more often now.

Boxer briefs don't cover your stomach like a girdle.

[quote] briefs ... were seen as Euro-trashy and/or French by American men

I can see this. It's sort of how we look at swimwear -- board shorts are what Americans wear, banana-hammocks and short tight underwear looking trunks are Euro and like not cool Euro but black socks and sandals and no deodorant Euro.

Hot look

I also can’t wear boxers or boxer briefs due to the extremely large size of my penis. In fact no underwear worked; I had to fashion my own personal jock strap made out of an industrial strength extension cord in order to contain my ponderous appendage.

[quote]Boxer briefs don't cover your stomach like a girdle.

Some do.

I haven't worn underwear in years.

R48 R52 While not my type, "President Oaks" is also at their other site known as "Boy For Sale" where he's "a buyer" and goes by "Master Oaks."

R91, you mean the type almost no one wears.

Is it true most of the straights are shaved smooth now also?

Y’all talk about straight dudes like they are another species. Smh

[quote] OP, don't boxer briefs do a better job of showing off the ass? (on a young, fit guy)

Wouldn't a jock strap do a better job of that?

Yeah but jockstraps are now associated with fetish gay men.

Even gym shorts now have boxer brief liners instead of brief liners. At least at Lululemon. Ugh.

[quote] Y’all talk about straight dudes like they are another species. Smh

100% R96

One of the most eye-opening things when I first found DL

Compression pants are doing to jockstraps what boxer briefs did to briefs.

100%

Jock straps are considered weird fetish gear by straight and gay men my age. Even as a kid I had compression shorts with an insert for a cup to play baseball.

I've never worn anything except briefs. At least you guys are talking about men wearing underwear. How disgusting is it that I've know men, str8/bi/gay, who don't wear any at all? That's just disgusting.

Yeah, they are also becoming dated, anachronistic has

[quote]I also can’t wear boxers or boxer briefs due to the extremely large size of my penis.

Photo please.

Go commando..save water

[quote]Y’all talk about straight dudes like they are another species. Smh

Well aren't they?

R9 Yeah, while I wear briefs a lot too, I really like a low-rise trunk that's 100% cotton. Best of both.

Looks like women’s panties r108

^^^ Most sissy-boy underwear does . . .

I saw a man in briefs yesterday in the locker room, I forgot to ask if he was straight.

R108, you're smart. Always wear underwear that are 100% cotton or a doctor-approved material. Keep them clean and dry. Now I can't find my 2 Calvin Kleins. The only night I was wearing one and felt sexy, a sweet hottie zoomed in on my ass and legs and invited me to his place.

Well, straight men are more homophobic in general, so it makes sense they don't like to ware ANYTHING that would show off their junk. Hence the board shorts craze of the 90's.

R113 you're good. Did you see or hear that angry white man's encounter with the TSA quite a while back? He's like if you get near/touch my junk you're gonna die or some stuff like that. What's so special or precious about his lousy package?

Nice.

Straight guys think their jewels are literally jewels. R114

It’s the same stigma associated with speedos

R117 LOL I never fully understood the appeal of those...they look a bit corny even when a man is sexy and hung

An exception:

R119 thanks, that's an interesting photo. That man's extremely thin. I prefer more.

Don't understand boxer briefs. I want one or the other. Only thing I want wrapped around my legs is a man.

Don't ^ understand

-121

What the hell r121?

R123, briefs are what they say they are. They don't have "legs". Boxers are loose and free-fitting. I find boxer briefs extremely uncomfortable. A man's underwear must be comfortable.

"It’s the same stigma associated with speedos."

It's not a stigma. It's just various individuals and their tremendous insecurities, foibles and quirks on exquisite display.

For example, see R118.

More straight guys would wear briefs if they were made from lace.

R126 that man has a phenomenal body, but those undies look like a lady's panties.

R125 please post post a photo of you in a Speedo.

61 and commando

Here ya go, R128.

Jealous, bitch?

R130, thanks, I'm certain you're in demand.

At least the gay guys at my gym still wear briefs, even the younger ones.

Briefs = unimaginative, backwards, conservative, old, unsexy, uncool. 10X worse if they!re white.

I saw a lot of men changing into briefs after shower in the locker room yesterday.

OP should I ask them if they are straight?

I don’t care how clean you are, and how amazing the person who does your laundry is, white briefs need to be thrown out after a month or two, because of track marks. What a waste! Some of the older gents on here probably have hemorrhoids and say they’ve been going commando. I’m sure their pants look great inside...gross.

White briefs also tend to get baggy in the ass over time, not a good look. Some of these designer or niche brands tend to not have enough coverage in the back. Surprisingly, Andrew Christian has great coverage. Most of their designs look ridiculous though.

Insane ^

Most of can wipe our ass, gramps

^ in denial.

I saw a very handsome, short, hairy married man in briefs about six months ago at the gym. He was not hugely muscled, but he definitely had a nice lean body and those briefs fit him like a dream.

Had a killer smile, too.

Man, it was like seeing a unicorn!

What I find odd is when men wear briefs but with their penis pointing down - is this just for Instagram underwear shots because the dick gets pushed forward by their balls and makes a more visible penis outline, or do guys actually walk around with it like this? I have my dick facing up in briefs, I think having it pointing down would just feel uncomfortable and if you get an erection it would take some hasty rearranging to make it not take someone's eye out.

I've actually got into wearing jockstraps more often as regular underwear lately, I actually really enjoy the feeling of wearing them and I swear they give my ass a better lift than briefs.

My dwarf lover used to point his dick at a 45 degree angle because it was so big. Otherwise it would hang out the leg of undies and create a stain on his jester outfit.

R139, you are aware that everyone is built differently, yes? Not even talking about the size of their endowment, but that would obviously factor in too. But basic anatomy differs, and “facing up” is not comfortable for some, especially me. I’ve tried it (because it creates a larger bulge in my case), but it feels weird, my dick feels “bent” if it’s flaccid in that position, and it just doesn’t stay “up.” Invariably, it slowly slips down into it’s natural “hanging” position. My penis just naturally hangs down. Even erect, it sticks out, not “up.”

R139 I agree with R141. And even if I wanted to wear it up (which I don't), it wouldn't stay that way for long. Facing up or positioning it to one side feels very unnatural to me, like I'm trying to prop it up there "on purpose" or something, and that purpose makes no sense (to me), especially since it's uncomfortable.

It's madness! Penis madness! Wearing ones penis up or down! It's the new back to front or front to back madness!

The fact that so few guys wear briefs mean it's harder for me to steal them and sniff them.

The new Tommy John ad is really hot!

I've decided to wear red briefs for Christmas.

[quote]I don’t care how clean you are, and how amazing the person who does your laundry is, white briefs need to be thrown out after a month or two, because of track marks.

Gross, what kind of person are you that thinks that. I have never had that problem. You are supposed to wipe your ass until that paper sheet is white dip shit.

[R147] Have you read any of the bidet threads? Most commenters would disagree with you. Even if the paper is clean, you’re not truly clean. Maybe you have a portable bidet with you? Or take wet wipes with you?

R148 are you on the damned internet again when you're supposed to be only doing work at your alleged business?

This thread has taken an unfortunate turn. Back to straight guys in briefs.

Boxer shorts celebrate and encourage male violence.

Briefs have been considered uncool since the 80s. Duh

Briefs have been considered uncool since the 80s. Duh

Briefs have been considered uncool since the 80s. Duh

You know, I'm really more interested in what guys are taking off rather than putting on.

We need to get someone help with that stutter.

I love a cup muzzle. On a straight or a gay!

Ewww

So R141 and R142, are you wearing well-fitted briefs and still finding that if your dick is pointing up, it will somehow droop down to the side? One of the main reasons I wear briefs is because they keep my dick in place - it may have a slight lean to one or other side (it's not at a completely straight up position throughout the day) but it's mainly pointing up and stays that way. If I were to wear boxer briefs (or boxers even) it would definitely flop down to the side though. Which is why I don't wear them.

Heterosexuality is disappointing, OP. It makes me sick to see male beauty wasted on the opposite sex.

R160 Each to his own, as R141 writes, and personally, I wear a well-fitted, low-rise brief and can't wear it straight up, because the head of the penis goes above and is constricted by the waistband. And I won't wear it off to the side because it's asymmetrically uncomfortable. I shop for brands where I know the pouch size allows for wearing it down comfortably (like in R146).

Choices, R1162

[quote]Maybe you have a portable bidet with you? Or take wet wipes with you?

Actually I do.

R164 excellent! Teach that nasty bitch a lesson!
