I never where underwear when I wear my kilt, and it's wool not cotton like the Utilikilts are. Maybe it's just not wearing it all the time, but it's bit of a relief sometimes to put on cotton boxers after wearing my kilt after 3 or 4 days straight. That said it is my most comfortable thing to wear.
 
Chafing and support mostly. Jeans and khakis are rougher on the goods and the twins need some support.
 
So that you never have to worry about getting the beans above the frank when zipping up.

Uh. When its hot and I sweat down South, I'd much rather have soggy boxers than problematic pants.

Yeah...so what part of my post doesn't allow for that?

edit: Oh, because I said "it has nothing to do with being clean". I guess sweating falls into more of a comfort category for me.

Women NEED underwear in order to practice good hygiene. Where else would their pads go?

It depends. When women wear thongs they actually have more chance of getting UTIs and the like because of the "bridge" the floss serves between the two areas.
 
i think the OP is either
A: germaphobe who carries hand-sanitizer with her/him
B: never done any activity where sweat was involved


Its not about having bad hygiene, you cannot prevent sweat and chaffing no matter how many showers you take. So if you wannt to stink up and stain your clothes, then i guess that works for you.

That made me LOL.

And hey, I just got a idea from this thread, you put on deodorant and anti sweat stuff under the arms, they need to make something like that for the guys gunk to cut back on the sweating in that area and make it smell like clothes hanging on the line in the summertime 🙂

Or do you guys just take a heaping pile of the underarm deodorant, put it in your hands and go to town on yourself with that?

nope, i generally dont wear em either. jeans arent so harsh against my goods, but i do wear them when i wear slacks to work. ive ripped pants walking around heavy gear a few too many times to not wear that embarrassment protective underwear.

A: nope, just your run of the mill cleanliness.

B: plenty of strenuous activity in my life, just ask your mommy. 😉

 
I wear underwear in case of the spontaneous game of strip poker, i don't want to start off with half my chips at home.
 
so when we pull down our pants we don't immediately show it all
so we get road rash on them instead of the pants
to prevent chaffing
helps absorb buttcrack sweat so it doesnt show up on the pants
holds the testicles preventing unneccesary swinging
protects the penis from getting caught in the zipper
I don't know I am not wearing any right now
 
Sorry but naturally it is one of those areas that tends to sweet a little more then the rest of the body. It also likes to harbor bacteria and other bugs. I am all for putting that extra little layer to keep me pants separated from me biscuits.
 
For some reason, your groin, butt crack, and armpits tend to sweat more than other parts of your body, makes sense to wear underwear to keep that off of your clothes.
 
Trying on pants at the department/clothing store. I hate to think that the pair of pants I'm trying on was worn by someone else who didn't wear any underwear. That's certainly one reason to wear your own incase they went alfesco.
