I don't know about studies, but the ol' hacky sack does descend (to cool your sperm down when it gets too warm) and ascend (to keep them warm when it gets too cold) with fluctuations in temperature to keep your sperm at the right temperature.

I gotta call BS on the briefs thing as well. If it really killed sperm, I don't think briefs would be on the market anymore....
 
Yeah, it can kill your sperm count because of overheating... but briefs are more likely to cause jock itch as well, which is a bigger concern for me. I still wear briefs now and then though, usually when i'm doing something active and requires the extra support.

bog, my impression was that there are very few people out there who look even close to reasonable when wearing tighty whiteys.

wear them if you like the way they feel, or if you're playing sports.

don't wear them if you're on a first date and think you're going to strip down, or if you're trying to get your wife pregnant.

That's because you're out of shape. I've been told by girls that i look better in briefs.
 
Not even really any need for studies...proof can be had for yourself....stand in a freeze and watch your sack, now stand in a sauna. They move to keep the little spermies alive and kicking. There are tests if you want further proof.

I wear briefs, boxers, and boxer briefs....boxers sort of bunch up and offer no support....feels like I am wearing pants over pants. Boxer-briefs have been the ladies favorite but I hear you have to have the body for them. Briefs, never a complaint and comfortable...don't show when I am wearing shorts either...but if you are into the whole 'sliders' look not for you.

On girls I like the tap pants the best.
 
I think the only reason men need to care about their sperm count is if they are trying to get women pregnant... the quantity of semen they ejaculate hasn't got much to do with it.

As for me... although I have briefs, boxer briefs, and boxers, I wear boxer-briefs about 60% of the time... I wear boxers 35%, and briefs 5%.
Where'd I get those numbers from? I pulled them out of thin air. But I bet they're close.

I think the girls of which you speak are the minority. Dan Savage and Em & Lo all agree that boxer briefs are the best, followed by boxers followed by the tighty whiteys.

I can see MAYBE if you're pretty hairless that the briefs would look okay, but otherwise the contrast looks ridiculous, muscles or not.
 
if you're trying to conceive a child and are having trouble doing so, then maybe you want to switch to looser undies.. it's the easiest first thing to try.

otherwise.. if the kind of undies you're wearing is going to make a difference whether a gal sleeps with you or not, then you probably ought not be wanting to go there with that girl anyway. wear what's comfortable. the kind of girl you want is going to care more that you're happy and comfy when you're dressed than about what you look like in your skimpies..

As a few people already said, its in case you're trying to have a child. Otherwise, don't worry about it. 😀
 
I think im going to switch over to boxer-briefs...then mabey boxers over time...i dont want to be like 25 and still have little boy underwear 🙂 Btw, M.J. does...
 
3 reasons I don't...
1. Kids at school in tha locker room towel whip you
2. They're also called "tighty whities"
3. They're so damn tight and white
 
Why do you need to make such a gradual switch? It's not like it's a traumatic experience from switching from briefs to boxers.
 
The sperm count thing is common sense, there's a reason they hang away from your body.

I doubt it really matters though, if you're trying to get someone pregnant, it only takes one little guy to do it.

Exactly, try running 10 miles with just boxers on also. You'll be hurtin'. Unless I'm doing something athletic, I wear boxers though.

Neah, it just takes a while to get used it to. 3 hours of basketball, running, etc - all boxers now. I actually find it MORE comfortable now because you don't get so damn hot down there! The big guy needs to breathe too when you are working out.

Take awhile to get use to the pain? Um, i'd rather not. Even if you become desensitized to the pain, it can't be good for them. And if you want it to 'breathe' more, get better quality briefs, like Under Armour.
