hawl: This is in response to Gigantikok's just-previous post. My waist is about a 29, and I've been wearing briefs (FTL) that claim to be for 30-32, so perhaps I cheat a bit or have found the best compromise between compression and comfort. As someone noted so long ago I think it's on the old board, wearing boxers with jeans is probably the best way to display a conspicuous bulge (which is not a goal of mine in most situations, though on a "first date" etc. I make no promises, all bets are off
:
). Appearance-wise, wearing boxers is like freeballing with a minimal veil or curtain. As a poster has noted, in some ways for the hung it's the equivalent of a stacked female going without a bra. Not a mortal sin, but ya gotta choose your situations. As a shower, I have found briefs to be pretty much essential for clamping down on wayward semi-erections and generally keeping myself streamlined let alone discreet during my active day. If my daily life was closer to Warren Beatty's in
Shampoo it would be one thing but my world is heavily populated by men and children, not just endless hotties. I actually have conversations where there is not supposed to be a sex vibe. Standing in a crowded subway train freeballing while my crotch is literally in the face of whoever is sitting down
-the mind reels, it's a cool fantasy but my reality is usually intense enough. That said, at the end of the day or in my free time if I'm just around my apt. then I greatly prefer boxers or nudity. I guess I have enough general stuff so that it is a little high maintenance and it's good to let it hang free, air out etc.. especially after a day of compression. I suppose it's akin to removing shoes. Testicle and or scrotum size, low hangers, waist size: these things certainly would affect an individual's underwear choice. I'm still working out the best formula, in part because I could swear it was all less of an issue when I was younger. It may turn out that my present situation, where I have differently-fitting undergarments collected like different golf clubs for different situations ("Ouch, I forgot, these briefs are for funerals only!"), remains.
About condom sizes, it sure doesn't seem like the medical community has knocked itself out providing a roadmap. I'm still waiting to see a super-secure reverse-snob amble into a crowded supermarket or drugstore and loudly ask for the "snugger-fit" condoms. "C'mon lady, where are your absolute smallest?!"
