text: briefs/boxers/boxer-briefs? i've always worn briefs and they're kind of sometimes intimidation at school in pe. i'va also heard that briefs are dangerous because they do not let the balls do their job of cooling. what do you think about that and what do you prefer? it's true that briefs can cause a lack of active sperm. not that every man who wears briefs is going to be infertile.  but what one wears is really a matter of comfort. some men find brief too restrictive and other men find boxers too loose, becoming twisted and allows their genitals to rub causing irritation and discomfort.  it's really a matter of how you are built (hung) and what you find to be comfortable for you. i used to wear boxers most of my early life and then changed to briefs as i got older i found briefs more comfortable for me.
