How can anyone wear boxers?

I don’t get it. I just do not get it.

Can someone explain to me how on Earth boxer shorts are comfortable? I know there are people who are fiercely loyal to wearing boxer shorts as their underwear of choice, and I just do not understand why.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but boxer shorts are beyond uncomfortable. In addition to often being made of very stiff fabric that gets itchy after a while, there is absolutely no support going on down there. To paraphrase Kramer on an episode of Seinfeld, when you wear boxer shorts, you’re just flipping and flopping all over the place. And if there’s a fly on them, forget about. Your junk will fall out on a near-constant basis.

I am pretty much open to wearing any kind of underwear. Boxer briefs, briefs, bikinis, tangas and thongs are all just fine in my book and a part of my regular underwear wardrobe (although thongs can get itchy something fierce depending on their fit and the fabric used). Hell, I’d even give jock straps a try (which I have not) if I saw some that looked comfortable and/or my wife thought I would look sexy in them. Boxer shorts, however, will never have a place in my wardrobe. I would go commando any day of the week before I would put on a pair of those horribly uncomfortable things.

What are your thoughts on the subject? And if you can explain to me the appeal of the boxers, feel free to do so.
