Which is the sexiest: boxers or briefs?

Monk has been wondrously preoccupied of late and his mind is still elsewhere. However, he has had a rather impassioned debate with a friend over men's underwear. He cannot believe that many can seriously maintain that boxers are hawt, as he regards these baggy underpants as being underwear for old folk. She insists that this is not the case anymore and that they are really TEH HAWT OMG!1! and that Monk just needs to get out to understand this.

We may have had a similar discussion along this theme before, but it was contaminated by the newfangled combo boxer-briefs, and one wants to keep this question pure, being between boxers and briefs only.

So, input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Boxers are sexier, because they cover up more. To me, at least, it's much hotter when you can't see anything.

In my case, I suppose imagination would be kinder and better than having it all out there.

Thanks! :)

Hee!

What's weird to me about that is that I am such a visual person, but I find it better when you can't see anything.

Boxers, absolutely.

Cripes, I just cannot win these things.

Gabe/Furtive says hi! and the debate is with her and she says boxers, too. Oh, well.

Thanks!

The thing isn't that boxers are so sexy, though on the right guy, with good abs...mmm... Anyway, it's more that briefs call to mind the image of a little boy in his Superman tighty-whiteys. So, boxers win by default.

(Though I will say that boxer-briefs take the cake. Yummy.)

LOL That's a great shot. I'm sure my friend would appreciate it. I never thought of it that way.

Thanks! :)

Boxer briefs! The coverage of boxers with the tightness of briefs!

*chuckling* Yeah, but what if you had to choose between the two, which would you go with, or would you be indifferent?

(Ahem, I wouldn't mind getting a vote for my side.)

Sorry I missed the end of the post . . . damn I need sleep.

Yeah, I'm going to go with boxers, sorry.

I'll give you half my vote. My guy looks the uber hawt in his briefs. They don't do that "superman tighty whitey" thing, because they're black. And look oh so hot on him. It's all about the package though, that that will make or break the little boy look. And he certainly has a package that'll take away even the slightest thought that briefs are just for little boys.

But also he's got these boxers that aren't quite like "normal" boxers, in that they have the elastic around the waist and all, but the baggy material is of a softer cotton.. I think this makes it less stiff, and when he's standing in just those, and you can see.. package. *licks lips*

It's good stuff :D

Wow! I'm not really sure if I come out well with that or not, but I imagine my friend will love your viewpoint. In any case, I'll take the half-vote since I don't think I'm going to get any better - I'm honestly surprised.

Glad to see you are so happy! :)

Boxers, definitely, and preferably silk ones at that. They've just got so much more... class.

Date: 2005-06-09 10:03 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] hardblue.livejournal.com
Silk... I might have to work up to that. I'm just being converted to boxers now.

Never be ashamed of your elitism! ;)

i am a firm believer that no male over the age of nine should ever be caught in tighty-whities.

that said, i'm also not a huge fan of boxers.

i really prefer a man who goes commando.

Date: 2005-06-09 10:07 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] hardblue.livejournal.com
I think commando entails more risk for men, with all that zipper action. But maybe part of the allure is the danger...

I was a briefs guy until I, er, started being around others more in my undies. Rather awkward in a HS locker room when out of an entire team of 50-60 people you're one of maybe two in briefs ever. And then add to it that briefs with the ladies probably 90% of the time pause the action...mood killer when things are hot and heavy. "OMG, tighty-whities!" (in surprised fashion)

As a side note, a German medical study was making the rounds on TV this week earlier that a guy says thongs are unhealthy for women despite their ubiquity. Being a fan of good-old cotton granny-panties on hot chick, I won't complain. But it does say something that girls underwear has undergone something equal in the demographic shift.

Date: 2005-06-09 10:10 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] hardblue.livejournal.com
You see, that wasn't my experience in high school. I've been taken surprise by this enthusiasm over boxers. The culture has moved on me.

So long as thongs are healthier for the sex life, I trust they will stay around - those quality of life issues. ;)

depends on the guy's package......

If a man is packing a lot of heat, then briefs? ;)

Commando! Ahem. Boxers. Briefs go with little boys, or guys who are overly interested in showing off their packages. Prepubescence and vanity both turn me off.

(And I think boxerbriefs on men fall more on the brief side of things. But I'd totally melt for a girl wearing boxerbriefs and packing. Ooooh.)

You prefer more of a cocksureness? ;)

Beauty is in the eye of ...

It depends on the woman. Honestly.

I had a teacher ask me once,"So Memo, which is it, Boxers or briefs."

Having flashbacks of Clinton on MTV. I said nothing.

"It's probably briefs," she continued, "if you wear anything at all. Mmmm." Then she stared even more intently on my ass; obviously excited by the prospect of a Memo with-out underwear.

On the other hand, there lots of women that are totally sickened at the thought of someone NOT wearing either boxers or briefs.

Yes, and I suppose there is always hope for a compassionate beholder.

Though, going by the response, I'm thinking one would be doing a better job of playing the odds by going with boxers.

Too shy back then to say to the teacher, "Show me yours and I'll show you mine"? ;)

Well, it was at a school that I was the computer guy at and that goes against one of my rules. Secondly, she was good looking but a sleeze. A dirty sleeze that was such a turn off.

Thirdly, If I did say something like that to her she would have not only hiked her skirt, but would have done me right there. I wanted no part of that.

Hmmm... Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a guy in briefs.

I'm an ass girl and the glorious sight of a perfect ass in briefs... makes me wanna just sink my teeth in and bite! ;)

Hey, thanks for chiming in! It's nice to get one clear and solid vote on my side. Though, as with the 'package' comments others made, I'm not sure how well I fare with this. In any case, I'm afraid that I may be successfully converted to boxers. *sigh*

Date: 2005-06-17 01:38 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] wordlesswriter.livejournal.com
Hmmm... I never really thought about what kind of undies I prefer on a man. Hubby wears boxers, so I'm use to them. before I saw a guy in boxers I thought it would be a turn off but they do allow for easier acesses. there are many ways of getting to the goods they conceal that are not unconfortable to the wearer. Plus I love buying different ones for him. briefs come in different colors but boxers come with all kinds of different things. hubby has some with kisses all over them, a few pair that say "Monster Garage", one with fire works, and most recently a retro style one that says "Led Zepplin".
My vote is for boxers, simply for the fun factor.

Date: 2005-06-18 09:41 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] hardblue.livejournal.com
And underwear should be fun! I'm being fairly converted to boxers. I expect to soon buy my first boxers, and I'll be interested to see the variety, heh.

Getting to this REALLY late...

Date: 2005-06-21 03:53 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] queensugar.livejournal.com
But, according to me and every female I know, hands down boxer-briefs are the sexiest men's underwear. There's not even a little bit of debate. They are overwhelmingly the most flattering.

Re: Getting to this REALLY late...

Date: 2005-06-22 10:52 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] hardblue.livejournal.com
Yes, I'm finally a believer! It's almost unanimous - the culture has moved on in this, as in much else, leaving me behind. I'm being converted all the way to the other side, though, going to boxers. Perhaps, I'll gravitate to the elite boxer-briefs in the future though.

Thanks for piling on! ;)
