Crossdressing-related question for the males on my friendslist: How do you walk with one of *vage hand gesture* these? For that matter, how do you get through your day without accidentally sitting on it or something? And I thought the binding was the annoying part.

Tight underwear apparently restricts sperm production - also, most guys seem to find boxers more comfortable. The two facts are likely related.

I dunno... it's just that you grow up with briefs, and at the age when all my friends were making the transition to boxers, I tried them and it was just *unsettling* not having any support. And in the summer, it's like wearing shorts under your shorts, which seems so redundant.

The sperm count thing doesn't worry me; my dad never wore boxers, and I'm one of three siblings, so it can't be *that* profound an effect.

I never wear shorts, so I don't have that problem.

I think it's just one of a number of factors in increasingly low sperm counts these days. Things like central heating, use of laptops, use of female hormones in foods, &c. have all combined to lower sperm counts in a lot of guys.

Not that it especially worries me, since I don't plan to breed.

I didn't move to boxers until I was 17ish, and it was weird for a while, but ultimately worth it, I think. It feels nicer to have them hanging loose than to have the support.
