Worry about ball support?

[joeweekend]

Seriously - does anyone else out there worry that if he doesn't wear briefs that his balls will someday stretch down to his knees? Time, gravity, all of that?

I seriously haven't been able to give up my boxers habit. And sometimes I think for my own good - kinda like taking a daily vitamin - I ought to be wearing briefs.

I experienced acute testicular pain a few years ago, fearing testicular torsion I went to the ER.

Fortunately that was not the case but I had worn boxers up till then and the ER doc informed me that the pain I was experiencing was most likely due to lack of support.

I have worn briefs under boxers ever since and my nuts feel much better.

I did experience some soreness when I switched from briefs to boxers. I assumed it was from swinging free. After a few days it went away and I haven't had any problems since. I will say that my sack hangs much lower than it used to. Doesn't bother me, I like it actually.

The thought had never crossed my mind.

Before I was castrated, I found the support was best for avoiding pain in my balls.

Brought up on briefs, never owned a pair of boxers. Never had any testicle pain either. All of my underwear supports them well. With the exception of lazing around the joint in shorts commando, I always wear ball support undies.

I have been wearing boxers for years..when I go to the gym or go walking then I wear boxerbriefs for support

Why do you wear the boxers at all? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to eliminate a layer and just have briefs under your clothes?

I have large legs and sensitive skin. So the boxers keep my upper thighs from getting chaffed and add a little cushion for keys, change, and anything else in my pockets.

It's also a good conversation starter. I can't tell you the number of times a woman was checking me out from behind and asked why I was wearing two pairs of underwear. I usually say something like "Just like a woman with big boobs needs the support of her bra, I need the support down below".

Throughout my adulthood my balls have hung low. I've been going commando for over 40 years and they're not hanging noticeably lower now than they were in my young adulthood. I'd say as long as you don't suffer any discomfort that would suggest a need for support you should stick with what you like, i.e. the boxers.

I've heard something about different undies better for sperm quality or something like that...but I forgot the details..it was long ago. Maybe I am confusing..

I think bulge looks 100% better when penis and balls are being supported...

Briefs and any restrictive clothing will raise temp, which lowers sperm count and quality

i had a college friend whose testicles, at age 20, hung lower than any other pair ive ever seen...even when he wasnt particularly warm. i worried about him hurting himself, i know he sometimes sat on them. if you're not like him, and not having discomfort or pain, stick to what is comfy, like silvertip said. i like support and no support, but if im having any discomfort, like i sometimes do, i actually opt for no support.

I haven't worn any underwear at all since I was 18 and my balls are still tight. It has more to do with physical conditioning than anything. I doubt gravity has any effect at all.

Yours hang quite low as well. His were even lower? Love low-hanging balls - much more than a big cock, actually.

Not proven by science; it's a speculation.
Briefs are just plain better.

Me neither. I always figured any droopiness would be the inevitable result of the general slackening of skin and muscle that happens to everyone. So why cage my boys while they're in their prime

I wore briefs for decades and never liked boxers. 7 years ago curiosity got the best of me and I gave boxers a shot. I wore no other kind of underwear for a month to see if I would adapt. After I got used to the loose fit, I found that I preferred it to the support of snug underwear. When summer came, I freeballed in gym shorts at the beach, and liked it better than wearing briefs or a Speedo under my shorts. My ball sac is fairly tight, and there are no low hanger issues for me. Briefs look sexier, by far, but boxers feel better (to me).

I think it's a matter of genetics. I have large balls and have free-balled or worn boxers for years. My boys still ride high unless it's very warm. I like the look of low-hangers, probably because I don't have 'em.
