I prefer briefs to boxers or boxer briefs, and whenever I have bought some color other than white, they end up staying in the drawer, unworn and unloved. For some reason, white briefs are more "me." I can't say I have a white brief fetish, but they have long remained my underwear of choice. I wear jock straps, too, but also prefer them in white. Perhaps my fondness for white owes to my innate purity. Maybe not. Free-balling is the most comfortable, but not always appropriate.
