I've seen this is more and more commonplace lately. I have observed it at my gym where guys will wear a pair of compression shorts...most frequently Under-Armor, then a pair of regular boxer-briefs, regular briefs, or bikini briefs under those, and then on top of it all, loose basketball shorts or some other type of athletic shorts. Why all these layers? I though compression shorts were to be worn as underwear? On the guys I've seen doing this, they still show a bit out front, so I don't think they are doing it out of shyness.

Nothing is meant to be worn under compression shorts. I understand if they choose to wear a jock under it... but to wear both something under and over is strange.

Maybe they want to keep their muscles extra warm? :/

I used to wear a jock under compression shorts then lose fitting shorts on top. Compression shorts with nothing underneath would squish my balls down between my legs which I find to be uncomfortable. A jock helps brings things back up and out of the way. I never understood how the compression shorts offered "support" for your junk. I find ther opposite to be true.

Bikini briefs or thin briefs under compression shorts, or nothing. Then loose running shorts (short inseam) over them for me.

I cannot imagine wearing compression shorts over boxers....

It may be because compression shorts don't provide that much support. That is my experience with them. I am always having to adjust myself with them. I much prefer briefs or a jock.

Yes, yes, YES!!! This is PRECISELY why I've never understood the primacy of compression shorts! Jockstraps LIFT or HEFT your ballsfrom underneath, which is the whole point of athletic supporters. Comp shorts just press your balls down between your legs, as you say. So why the fuck are comp shorts now the default for guys? I guess many guys, esp younger ones, just don't know what a good jock can do for them.

On the topic, I've seen it all. I saw a college age guy pull comp shorts OVER his boxers and then spend several minutes pushing the legs of his boxers down into the legs of the comp shorts. Looked stupid and uncomfortable, but like a lot of younger guys, he seems glued to his boxers. He would never have stripped naked (gasp!) in a men's locker room. Crazy.
