Boxers or Briefs by party

[opebo]

I guess we've had one before, but I wanted to do another, inspired by this:

No way.  I tried on a pair of boxer shorts once.  Tried to walk around in them.  I kept racking myself with every step.  Slap.  Slap.  Slap.  It's so painful.  How can you stand that?  Also, it feels strange.  Normal underwear for me, thanks.  Jockey shorts.  White and tight.

Haha, no, never had that problem.  I simply cannot understand your preference, any more than you can understand mine..  its like politics or perhaps even more so.  I find those tight things incredibly uncomfortable.  Free-balling is fine, but the perfect compromise is a good pair of boxers.  Then again, come to think of it, I do have a very wide stance.

...I wear jockey shorts, as I expect most normal people do

Surely the majority of people wear boxers, angus?  

These are briefs (worn by porn stars and those stuck in the 80s.  In the 80s I wore them):

Good lord, I'm not surprised you would wear such a thing, if you wear 'jockety shorts', but my god man, what are you some kind of narrow-waisted gigolo?

...If you're just sitting on your ass, bitching about things, sure, boxers FTW.  But if you like, move and stuff, boxers suck.

Thanks for mentioning my vocation, but I do 'move' as well - strolling, ambling, standing and chatting, and of course riding motorbikes.   I even sometimes water plants for a friend of mine who is away.  Boxers are fine for all these.

I don't know why boxer-briefs never make these polls.

To be honest I forgot entirely about them, and from my perspective they're so similar to briefs as to be not worth distinguishing.

I suspect this mostly all comes down to social class - the lower orders wear 'briefs' or 'jockety shorts', while people with proper upbringing do wear exclusively boxers (though I'll admit mine are mostly just cheap ones from J.C. Penney and the like).

That's funny, angus, I always thought of those tight things as 'old men's underwear'.  I'm loath to admit it, but those are the garments which my father and his generation did wear, and when I was a small boy those are what my mother bought for me.  But the moment I could buy my own clothes in my very early teens I switched to boxers and have never looked back.  Hate those things - tacky and uncomfortable.

So perhaps this is far from certain:

My son will likely wear regular underwear all his life.  That's all he will ever have been exposed to on a daily basis.

Hopefully he will rebel and improve as I did.

Also, if I were voting in the poll, and the only choices I had were boxers or briefs, I'd vote for briefs,

Please do vote - everyone else understood the poll clearly.

Maybe your poll should be "by preferred mode of transit" rather than "by party"

You should make that poll.  I have shot my bolt for the day.  

For me it would be:
1. motorbike
2. railroad train
3. car at least 20 years old
4. overland coach (bus)
5. taxi-cab

And I would not prefer the bicycle to walking.

What about boxer-briefs?

For me, they're very similar to briefs (or jockey shats as angus calls them).

...underwear... for women there are 10 types... all women need all 10 types to be truly effective in their roles.

Really?  I confess I don't know all these types.  I would just think perhaps of bra and panties.. are you talking about corsets and garters and this type of thing?

Bizarre angus, but thanks for reminding me how lucky I am to be able to keep the 'female creatures' at a distance, sparing myself intimate knowledge of their undergarments (much less wearing them on the head as some forumites apparently do).

With prostitutes here, it is customary for both parties to take a thorough shower before festivities begin, so there's really no occasion to have much to do with her underwear.  If she's a 'high-end' girl with a lot to show off, she'll strip down to just her fancy lingerie for the obligatory 'few drinks' in the room, which can be very scenic.  If she's just a run of the mill low-cost one, or a shy one (lots of shy ones in Asia, funnily enough), she'll just go to the restroom mostly clothed and come out fresh and clean but with just the big ole white towel wrapped around her (pretty cute with brown skin).

It is disturbing that nearly as many Democrats wear the vile briefs as wear the proper boxer.  Perhaps my theory of class-based-underpants is valid after all?

OK, I just now saw this edit:

All right, why the applesauce is this separated by political party?

And I have to say: Inks, you are one screwed up person. I don't know, and I don't want to know, how your weird, twisted mind connects "fuсk" to "applesauce".

Actually I like that!  Perhaps 'applesauce' is a bit like 'santorum'? 

Btw, I'm deeply saddened that at the moment a bare majority of my party is wearing the Bad Pants.
