Boxers or Briefs???

A popular question that has been asked of guys in interviews over the years is about their choice of underwear. The question was even asked of Bill Clinton during his first run for the Presidency during an MTV interview. I am not too ashamed to admit that the question has always fascinated me. I guess if I have any kind of real fetish it is an underwear one. I am one of those guys that gets that little tingle just from seeing the waistband of another guy when he bends over or raises his shirt. With that I am constantly writing down or saving the answers when I see them.

Below is a list that I have made over the years for male soap stars, actors, and other male celebrities about their preferences in the underwear department. If the actor or celebrity has appeared on a soap/serial I have that listed beside their name.

By the way, the banner above features former underwear model turned soap opera star, Colin Egglesfield in some of his photos from his modeling shoots.

slight alterations made by Gilbert Fenton, June 2010

Note: I left the banner off since part of it the actor in question has on a thong and part of his behind is seen. Wasn't sure the admins here would want that. I left Steve's words as they were though.

YUMMY!

LOL! What a thread. Glad to see I'm not the only one who goes commando

Nice to know that Eric. For me is briefs 95% of the time with a few boxers when lounging, boxer briefs or commando thrown in.

LOL! What a thread. Glad to see I'm not the only one who goes commando

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm My mind goes wondering..

LOL when wearing dress pants or sleeping amongst mix company I go to boxer briefs

Commando is really the only way to go.

LOL! What a thread. Glad to see I'm not the only one who goes commando

Eric... you may change your mind later in life. Here's a little known secret (At least I never knew it until it happened to me), you know how women's boobs sag when they get older? Your balls do the same thing. You end up halfway sitting on them every time you sit down sometime after the age of 35 unless you hold them up with some sort of support. that's why you see older men adjusting themselves much more frequently.
