Boxers

I still remember the first time I heard "tighty-whities" - it was on an episode of Scrubs. They said it in such a way that I knew they were making fun of the wearer of white briefs. But does this extend to colorful briefs? They were not clear on this point, quickly moving on in the episode.

Go to the Men's Department and you will see a lot of colorful boxers. After reading Socks, you must know that I enjoy lots of color. But the odd thing about boxers is that they do not need to exist. Say you wear shorts with boxers, then the boxer is probably around the same size as the shorts. What you are getting are double thick shorts. You could just sew the boxer into the shorts, and it would be the same effect in most cases. (Though, if the shorts are thin enough to see through, it allows one to make a fashion statement by wearing differently colored ones with each wearing of those shorts.)

The oddest thing about boxers and shorts is that you are more exposed than a woman in a short dress and panties. Panties get right in there and cover that which needs to be covered. With briefs on men, the same thing is true. And probably the same with thongs on either sex. With boxers there are direct lines from the outside world where people with the correct angle could get a direct view of Mr. Johnson and his two friends. No real difference from Commando Style or Free-balling. Topologically speaking, you are naked. A kilt with the middle connected.

The most interesting thing about boxers for me is: a woman in boxers. There is something too sexy about that to even think about right now.
