I wear briefs, boxers (on occasion), trunks, and bikini briefs. I find that the enhancing/anatomically correct briefs/ bikini briefs are the most comfortable. My girlfriend makes fun of me for wearing them but I feel that she likes all of my underwear.
I wear boxer briefs days but always throw on a pair of 2xist briefs at the gym or before going out for a run. I like the extra support that briefs give me when I work out or run. My gf has seen me in my briefs and really likes the way I bulge in them. She's even given me a few spontaneous bj's after getting turned on rubbing my package through my gym shorts while I was on my way out the door :smile:
Reading this I think where you guys are from play a big factor in the underwear. I'm from rural IL and almost every guy I know is straight an wear plain ole Hanes or FTL briefs in white or colors. A few wear boxerbriefs and boxers are almost non existent. I work out 5 days a week and have several gyms within a 30 min drive from home. All have open showers and all guys from teens to older wear briefs. About 5 years ago when I was in college a few hours away in the "big city" it was the complete opposite. I was the only one not wearing boxers, trunks, or designer undies. Got some shit from frat bro's at first but by the end of the first semester no one said anything bout it. Just got referred to as "big country". Guess where you're from has a huge deciding factor on you underwear choice.

Rural Texas, here, but I spent the first 30 years of my life (college included) in the big city of Dallas, so I have both experiences.
Briefs seem to be the default. For all ages. Practically everyone with whom I have ever broached the subject wears briefs, with a smaller but significant percentage wearing boxer briefs, depending on their personal needs. Boxers are a WAY less popular choice, and are usually worn only for the exposed waistband, which usually looks pretty stupid in cowboy country. For most guys around here the choice seems more a practical one, than a stylish one.
Which makes sense.
Underwear is functional, and is usually hidden from view. If you're wearing it for *someone else,* that's a different story...dress up all you'd like.
But if someone came prancing in, in some of those fashion briefs, they'd probably be ridiculed.
Hmmmm. I grew up in Dallas in the 70's and it was white briefs all the way. I now live in the NE and it's boxers central, or at least boxer briefs. NO young guys here would be caught dead in a basic white brief, not to mention a jockstrap. I keep hoping the rest of the country still wears briefs and jocks, but it's certainly not the case here that briefs are the default mode.
I prefer low-rise briefs. Have lots of differen't styles, but nothing feels sexier to me than a low-low rise brief or bikini. Think it's hot to see a fit man in a pair of briefs too. Not gonna lie.
I used to wear boxer briefs especially in the winter months when I lived in the mid-west, but now that I'm in Florida I tend to wear briefs/bikini's mostly.
I have a buddy who I used to live across the hall from when i was in college and vividly remember him air drying his bikini briefs around his apartment, because he was not about to use the building's laundry facilities and refused to pay for air. (cheap bastard) But he made a major shift because he got hit on by some gay guy in the locker-room and he was sure it must have been his choice of briefs. From that day forward he has been a loyal boxers man. I take great delight in embarrassing him by sporting a hot RED brief bulge and flash him when we get together and the moment arises. (changing to at the gym or in the bathroom at the restaurant) Hey calls my briefs a gay panty. I remind him of the days when he sported some himself. Just fun talking about it.
Wife likes me when I feel sexy. She wouldn't care what I wore as long as she gets some sex. "What ever turns you on-honey"... isn't that the way things are suppose to be?
