Boxers or Briefs - What is best for You

| May 1, 2015 | 1 Comment

There was a time when men did not have many underwear options. They were forced to use any product available in the market. Today, men no longer have to wear the same old underwear. They have as many options as women do. However, there is a never ending debate on which is the best underwear option for the modern man. While some prefer briefs, others prefer using boxers. Since both sides have valid points to support their argument, it is difficult to declare one as the clear winner. Every man chooses the undergarment he likes, and he goes out in the world to promote it. He is adamant that his choice is the best and may not be willing to understand the views of other people.

Briefs

Briefs have been around for more than 100 years and were an instant hit at launch. Men who used briefs loved the tight fit that prevented testicles and penis from swinging around when walking or even running. People, reading this article, must understand that in those days people did far more running and walking which made these briefs extremely popular. Most people avoided wearing boxers because it had the tendency to move upwards when running or walking.

Boxers

Boxers are the symbol of freedom for most men. These men are far more comfortable with loose fitting underwear because their penis does not fit well inside the brief or because they hate the tight feeling. Boxers are extremely popular with men that like unrestricted leg movement. Another reason why men prefer boxers to brief is because boxers can be worn as shorts in bed or around the house.

Do Briefs affect male Fertility?

Low sperm count is the main fertility problem in more than 50 percent couples. In some cases, this problem can be solved if you wear the right underwear. Even though there is no scientific evidence to prove that briefs affect male fertility, there is sufficient evidence to prove that increase in temperature of testes can reduce sperm count. For testes to produce sufficient quantity and quality of sperms, the temperature of testes should be lower than the temperature of the body. One of the reasons why testes are located outside the body is to maintain its temperature. If you wear briefs, it can increase the temperature of the testes by several degrees which can affect sperm production. It takes testes about 11 weeks to product quality sperms. So if you are planning a romantic night with your partner, you should avoid wearing tight briefs. Wear boxer shorts to reduce the temperature of the testes.

Underwear and Penis Size

Again, there is no scientific evidence to prove that underwear affects penis size. Also, most experts are of the view that underwear may affect sperm count but not penis size. However, some experts are of the view that when boys wear tight briefs can restrict their outward penile growth. When testicles and penis is restricted and compressed in tight underwear, it can affect blood circulation, which can result in curvature and shrinkage. When boys get erection, they try to bend their penis to one side to hide their embarrassment. This can affect the blood flow which can stun the growth of penile tissues.

Simple rules every male must follow

There are several rules that men should follow when it comes to their health and underwear. Some men wear old underwear because they are sentimentally attached to it. Old underwear may have sentimental value but are disgusting, and can cause several health problems. Once a month, get rid of your old underwear that is torn and unpresentable.

An important rule to follow when buying underwear is to buy synthetic blends or cotton for everyday use. If you have silk or any other fancy fabric underwear in your wardrobe, use them for special occasions. Wearing cotton or synthetic blends will prevent chaffing. Also, it will absorb moisture and provide proper support.

Today, most men lack underwear etiquette, and they keep wearing the same underwear without washing it. Underwear must be changed frequently and remain clean. If you sweat excessively or work, you must change your underwear midday to remain fresh.

Boxers or Briefs – What should you wear

Deciding to wear boxers or briefs is a matter of personal choice. Generally, people wear boxers because it is more comfortable and gives them more breathing space. On the other hand, people who prefer wearing underwear that gives them support, wear brief. So, wearing boxers or briefs is a matter of preference, however, you must avoid briefs if you plan to get your partner pregnant.

If you are still not able to decide what to wear, you can switch it up and wear briefs and boxer alternatively. Having fun with your underwear will not only improve your experience, but also improve the experience of your partner. So have at least one pair of each and choose underwear of different cuts, colors, styles, and fabrics. This will keep things fresh in your life and in your bedroom!
