Wore briefs as a kid and into college, then switched to boxers and boxer briefs because they were "cool." Then got annoyed by the long legs on boxer briefs, so I switched to mostly trunks, which I think are the best of all worlds. After not wearing briefs for over a decade, decided to try some ck briefs and I found them sexy and comfortable, and started to buy a ton of those in different colors and styles. Now my undie drawer of about 200 pairs is about 50 percent trunks, 40 percent briefs, and ten percent bb. for the gym, I wear compression shorts or leggings.
