That's what society says. A lot of guys switch back to briefs though, and it's more comfortable they find out. Briefs are back on the rise.

I never switched and am still in briefs. I tried them once and I did not like the feeling.

Yes, briefs are for little boys and old men. Boxer briefs are a good alternative if you need support for jogging.

For a lot of guys it is, but they have to make the decision for themselves. Life is about choices; and different choices for different times. I wore boxers for years, starting in high school. I never had tighty-whitey harasment that other guys have...I've gone back to tighties -- they're just more comfortable...and I look BETTER in them. Do what's best for YOU.

Yes, I think so.

Yes. Boys should be made to switch to boxers before puberty and be given the sex talk

Don't be silly! Of course not!
Briefs come in all sizes, from kids to adults, just like boxers and boxer-briefs. And if they're made for adult sizes, why would that not be considered an 'adult choice of underwear' so to speak?
If it was the other way round, and briefs were the most popular, you'd most likely think that boxers were for little kids and that briefs were manly. It's just because briefs have bad stick that you don't think that way.
And regardless, don't you want to show off a bit and not hide what you've got? You're not gonna get many admirers in baggy boxers and I can tell you. ;)

Yea, Im back in briefs now but I still have boxers too. I dont really have a need to keep them but Id feel like less of a man if I only had tighty whities in my drawer again. The last time I had only tighty whities was 6th grade I think or maybe 9th I cant remember if it was middle school or high school when I started wearing boxers.

i know exactly what you mean. people make you feel like such a wimpy nerd if you wear tighty whities. I have mostly briefs in my drawer. And i get teased a lot!

Yea I dont get it its just underwear, My gf laughed at me when she found out I started wearing tighty whities but I dont think she really cares now. I dont think any of my friends really know I wear them but except for one and his gf...awkward moment. My family knows which I could care less about but for some reason the topic of mens underwear came up at a gathering with my gfs family and the ladies were saying how sexy boxer briefs were and then they asked me if I wore them and before I could answer my gf blurted out NOPE he wears regular briefs...suprisingly nobody said anything bad now all of her family and some family friends know I wear tighty whities.
