I certainly changed styles of underwear from my teens, but I don’t think it had much to do with aging. It was more following fashion trends. Now, I think I choose my underwear for a variety of reasons ranging from practicality based on my planned activities, practicality based on what I might be wearing such as suits, shorts or sweats and based on whom I may have undressing me later in the day!

I grew up wearing boxers because thats what my parents bought me then I bought my own underwear and I wanted to try briefs and for a few yrs I wore briefs then boxerbriefs were the fad and i changed to that but I went back to wearing boxers again now that i'm older every once in a while i'll wear briefs like under shorts or jogging pants at the gym

Started with Y-fronts, moved to briefs, then loose cotton boxers followed by a couple of tangas then thongs followed by g-strings becoming successively more flimsy and see-through although these day I'm more likely to be freeballing (commando).

Briefs as a kid, boxers in high school, boxer briefs some time in college. Now I waffle between all three. Probably mostly boxer briefs, with briefs when running and boxers and briefs depending on the mood.

Briefs till I was a teen, then went to boxer briefs for about 2 years, then mostly boxers for the next 3 or 4 years. Nowadays it’s mostly boxer briefs during the work week & boxers on the weekend, but if I’m wearing dresses pants I usually wear boxer briefs.

Bikini briefs until I was 18 years old, then loose boxers until I was 30 years old and boxer briefs up until now at 51 years old. My style has changed with fashion. Those were the popular styles at the time.

Briefs only until I was in my 30s. I wore boxers to bed but not as underwear for a few years in my early 30s. When I became a full time nude sleeprer, I tried the boxers as underweae and liked them, so I bought some more and alternated for quite a while. After I retired, I stopped wearing underwear.

I'll bet the huge majority of guys did just the opposite: Briefs when young; boxers when older. It sux.
I started jr hi in 1972 and every guy in my all boys' school wore white jockeys or something similar. NO ONE wore boxers, which were considered the underwear of grandpa. I never even saw a guy in boxers till college and even then most wore briefs.
Somewhere in the , what, mid- to late-80's the "boxer rebellion" began, and suddenly righty whities were mocked as little boy underwear. Guys started wearing the biggest floppiest boxers they could find, a choice I could never underwear. Then boxer briefs came in as a kind of compromise, I guess. Maybe guys started to realize that flopping balls isn't always the best idea (unless they're flopping on someone's chin, of course). It seems that boxer-briefs are now the most popular, tho' I can't figure out why you need all that coverage on your thighs; to me, it's annoying. So I wear 2xist, Levis and David Archy POUCH briefs and a jockstrap for working out. I've often expressed the hope that the advertising world will get some hotshot athlete (like Michael Jordan back in the day) to promote wearing briefs and jocks and then we can have a counter revolution!

I switched to boxer briefs at some point because everybody seemed to do it. I'm kind of switching back to briefs though.
Exactement! Il ne faut pas choisir comme un mouton. Les boxers sont pour les cons. Les slips--pour les vrais hommes.

Ha! Auto corrected from "tighty whities" to "righty whities"! I guess, tho', since they're the RIGHT choice, my laptop was just looking out for me!

Once I was old enough to go out and choose my own underwear, I eschewed the FOTL white briefs, and completely out of style in my generation, wore traditional boxers (like my grandfather wore). That was the only thing available at the time that wasn't confining. I then transitioned to wearing gym shorts as underwear. Now, depending on what I'm wearing, I go back and forth between soft cotton boxer briefs (comfort waist band is a must), and commando.

i've largely rotated thru the same styles of undies since grade school. probably the biggest difference is i wear boxers much less as my unconstrained swinging softie down my pant leg is rarely appropriate for work! I think when i was much younger, i both didn't care or notice what i was showing and wore looser pants. today, i choose based on how horny i'm feeling (usually very!) and mix in some practicality based on that days chores. horniness + practically = undie choice

I think you change from age, what is going on in your life and what daily attire is required as well as prevailing style. Even if you don't jump on the bandwagon with each years style, it does affect you somewhat. Styles, stripes, designs, colors, solids, bright, lite, white...………..all that seems to change with a lot of guys as well.

One thing I noticed some yesterday with a lot of coaches squatting down mat side at the tournament was how many 30 plus year old guys were sporting American Eagle bright colored waistbands...…….I thought that was mainly teens and twenties underwear. our coaches are almost all Jockey or Calvin Klein guys, not that they don't ever wear AE or others, some of them grab stuff out of the clean laundry cart just like we do.

I think I had mostly boxer briefs as a kid, then preteen boxers (they were cool and me and my friends liked to hang out in our underwear).
As a teen I switched to snug trunk style boxer briefs as I could find them. Bobby was a wrestler and tight, skimpy, short leg was the prevailing style at his college and so that it what I wanted.

this past summer on my grandpa's farm, briefs became a rapid favorite of mine, even just plain old white fruit of the looms...………….and oh man, those fruit of the looms...……...they somehow stretch and conform no matter how tight your jeans are over them...……….then when you free yourself just to take a piss or something, its like my dick wants to rush and fill with blood to expand out against that sweaty stretched fabric, about like it would do in a jockstrap when I would take off my football pants or wrestling singlet when I was much younger and had no control over such things, lol.
My girlfriend would come to the farm and eat lunch with us and then she and I would go out to the barn after, man I don't know that I have ever been so easily worked up in the middle of a day of work as I was wearing those white cheap briefs...…...many days my lunch break ended with her bent over a tractor tire taking a thorough pounding so I could get my dick tucked back in those briefs and my jeans to work the rest of the day.

I am 24 and that means that exactly half of my life a jockstrap has been a staple in my underwear selection too...…...no matter what the other styles do a jock should never go out of style if you have balls at all.
