Silk Boxers are a Party In My Pants
I’m wearing silk boxers, and man — this is seriously the way to go. Lots of freedom, and the nice caress of silk on my nether regions. I’m in a great mood. I always wore bikini briefs for most of my life (except as a kid, when it was exclusively tighty-whiteys or the occasional underoo), and never delved into the boxer arena until recently. I think it may have something to do with my dad. You see, my dad always wore boxers, for as long as I can remember, but they were… Okay, you have to know my dad for this to make sense, but first of all, he would wear really nasty cheap boxers made of thin cotton, and they’d always be stained, or torn, or both, and then there was the fly hole. My dad would walk around in his boxers, and scratch himself through his flyhole. I got to see my dad’s penis constantly because he wore those goddamn boxers. Of course, later in life he just stopped wearing underwear altogether (As my friend Lisa can attest to with the ‘stuff that back in your pants’ incident.) So, I had very bad associations with boxers, and I wanted something as far from what I witnessed as possible.
So recently, on a whim, I bought some boxers for my 31st birthday. I got red ones, because I was toga’ing up to be Mars, and I thought that red boxers would be a discreet way to keep my bits from showing. So I bought a pair. I love them. I love them so much Julie bought me another pair. Unfortunately, they’re expensive, and they have to be hand-washed, but Okay, fine — I could get used to that. I may not wear them every day, but every once in a while it’s a treat. Maybe I’ll try out some cotton ones — I’m just slowly working those childhood images out of my head. It may be a while before they’re purged.
Oh yes. The joys of boxers. I was introduced to them by my nymphomaniac (ex)girlfriend, which never made much sense to me. Why would I even bother when I wouldn’t even be wearing them that long?
That’s a different story, though. Yes. Boxers. They’re definitely a party in your pants. The problem I had to get used to was not scarring images of my father (strictly a tighty-whitey man), but rather momentum. Fuck physics. See, I used to wear the tighty-whities myself, which keeps your junk “close to home” as it were. But wearing boxers is a different story. You can’t quickly change direction without incuring some kind of collision in your pants. And if you’re running fast enough and then change directions, chances are you’re gonna smack something against something else really hard and have to sit out for a breather.
The next logical step is, of course, going commando. It’s just that much nicer. The dangers here, though, are legion. Namely zippers. No more quicky zip and go. You have no idea how intense a simple zipping can be when your package is in close proximity to being zipped.
yeah, I have no desire to repeat a scene from ‘Something about Mary’.
I was talked into boxers by my wife years ago and I love them. I’ll never go back. Free and easy is the way to go. I’ve never had a problem with any sort of collateral damage. I think that this is a myth. I run and everything and I never have any problems. And, no, I’m not exceptionally small or anything. Maybe you just get used to it. Anyway, I’m all for boxers. I feel constrained by anything else.
What’s a good brand to buy that don’t cost a fortune?
Uh, that’s a good question. You can buy decent boxers almost anywhere. I’ve bought them at Target, Old Navy, Gap, Mervyn’s, Macy’s, etc. I don’t spend a lot on underwear, though. I try to funnel my clothing budget to outside clothes. I don’t have a special brand. To me boxers aren’t about brands, since the fit is almost universal. It’s hard to find a pair of boxers that don’t fit right. I know that with snuggies, the right brand is everything, like with jeans. But, really, I don’t think there’s much difference. I’d avoid, of course, the pre-packaged ones that come in groups. But, I think you covered that in your blog already. I prefer 100% cotton boxers. But, I’m a natural kinda guy..
I think men in boxers are sexy! I like the fun ones with random messages or spicy designs. I bought Ian a pair with little devils on them- when he wears them I know his mood. Josh I’m buying you a pair of fun boxers, check your mailbox soon!
My dad also wore the loose white boxers with the open fly.I can’t count the number of times I saw him sleeping with his fly wide open and his Penis lying on its side on top of the shorts.
Eeek. Nice visual. My dad was the same. I’ll make sure to sew the flys shut as soon as possible as to save my children the same trauma.
