During my last trip to a departmental store I made a stop in the undergarments area and that made me start thinking about this: men’s underwear.
Contrary to women, men don’t have (at all) a very close relationship with their undergarments.
You can find hundreds of retailers and brands of lingerie that sell underthings in color shades beyond the visible spectrum, on countless designs and which technology surpasses the most innovative smartphone. Girl’s underwear enjoys the results of a long work of engineering and design: strapless bras made of top-edge inert compounds, bras padded with colloidal mixtures, push-up bras that constitute a revolutionary technology meme and a new direction in erotic-enhancement clothing and so on… Hell, the list would be endless… Boys however, have to manage with a more arid scenario, having a very limited set of options: briefs, boxers or the almost quantum state, brief-boxers.
It should be easy to pick an element of such reduced clique but… Is it? Fashion experts have stated briefs as a definite no-no and boxers seem to increased their popularity during nineties along with virtual pets, sales force automation and the Magic Mop, but men still don’t have hard facts nor a trusty intuition to help them decide.
Why should you worry about underwear? If you have been heavily exposed to hip-hop or skateboard idols you might think underwear is an minor clothing item for the joy of your friends and the annoyance of your mother, nevertheless, underwear goes beyond its more pragmatic functions: it is designed to be an erotic symbol. And here comes the punch line of the post… What’s the sexiest type of men’s underwear? You could ask all your girlfriends, compute the results and find out, but I have already done that for you. ;)
After interviewing a random sample conformed by 20 female subjects attending college (all of them in their early twenties), the following results were concluded:
- The 100% of them stated brief-boxers as the sexiest choice and,
- More than 80% of the sample declared briefs are a highly potentially turnoff.
