I'm with you gboy.
I expected when I got old I would switch from my 'tightie whities' to boxers. Old now and I'm still wearing briefs. Even though my package, unfortunately, is not a low hanging, pair of bulging swingers, I am still comforted from the support I get from wearing my briefs.
I honestly tried to wear boxers, but without success. My dick poked out like there was no fly at all, and my boys would always cling to my thighs . But the worst part was that I was constantly re-arranging because they would be uncomfortably pinched and twisted and I was self conscious doing that, especially having to hold myself and cup my sack before taking a seat. The worst thing about boxers for me,...support. There wasn't any.
In briefs I like my dick riding upright against the closed fly front, and that's the only way I ever wear them. That goes back to school days when popping woodies was frequent. So by wearing my briefs with my dick already upward there was less chance of embarrassment when my dick swelled.
'Y' front Jockeys are bad for me as my penis tends to wander out. My dick won't stay in Munsingwear briefs at all. My willie always finds his way of out of their 'side to side' slit very easily and it is always at the most inopportune moment. There were times when lounging with some friends, all of us just in briefs, male bonding, and that 'munsingwear moment' occurred. Best briefs for me are CK, Fruit of the loom and Haynes, not to mention the sexy CK magazine ads. For golf or other more strenuous activities, I like to wear 'no fly' briefs for the added support and perspiration absorbancy and pulling them down in the front a little to pee is no problem.
I would be curious to know if other men feel the same way at all, or is it just me?
