Is there any stigma attached with briefs?

[nmf9in]

To each his own-but I say briefs rock. Especially the horizontal fly like my Tommy John’s…

Briefs started to lose popularity in when I was in high school. Guys switched to boxers then eventually boxer briefs. Plenty still wore briefs but white one’s always had a stigma attached to them. People looked at briefs are little kid underwear or the underwear moms bought. Personally I love the fit and feel of briefs. I can’t wear anything else comfortably.

I get where you are coming from, I won't say its stigma but they've grown unpopular over the years. They used to be main style of undies for men back in the day, thats why its more common for older men. Boxer briefs and other similar styles have fast become the norm. Yes I hardly see men wear them in gym locker rooms except like soccer players which I think they wear it because of the support it gives. From my experience I think briefs are still very much a thing amongst gay men. Yes most gay men wear briefs or own a few pairs at least lol

that's the point which really surprises me, that somehow underwear length of men is associated with their sexuality but this rule doesn't apply for women, women are not considered straight or lesbian based on the length of their underwear, or are they, if yes please let me know, and then i think it would be easier for me to understand that its a cultural thing here.. because i have seen in many other countries, most men wearing briefs and bikini briefs as well, and there it's not considered gay and the few ones who wear boxer briefs or longer underwears, they are also not considered anything different.. in short, underwear style is not connected to sexuality...so, want to understand how come western culture ties men's underwear (and not women's) to sexuality..

briefs are the standard, but i mean you definitely see cocks if guys wear it. boxers/bb hide em. protip: always wear one size smaller to show off your dick.

I ALWAYS wear briefs. I'm comfortable in them and that's all that matters to me. Like a few said above, I don't care what others think or if there is a stigma or whatever. It keeps everything front and center, some of the other styles of underwear don't do that.

As a straight guy with a thong fetish (and I don’t wear my male-thongs all the time)
I can honestly say I know 100% there is a stigma regarding thong underwear and sexuality, but never have I heard or been aware of any such regarding briefs

I wish there wasn’t with thongs. Usually I wear string waistband sport briefs if not wearing a thong

I recently joined a local gym and have been surprised how many men wear briefs. I go during the day and the general age is higher than in the evenings. I’ve found at least 30 and maybe as high as 60% of those 55+ wear briefs. I was a bit worried about being the ‘odd one out’ but have been pleased to see many others.

NO. I 100% prefer brief. As a Briefs Guy, I don’t need to switch to other underwear styles, as briefs fit perfectly under any pants. Thus, I always wear briefs and jockstraps for the gym, or I go commando.

As another member mentioned in this thread at the gym, I have seen more and more guys wearing briefs.

I grew up wearing briefs and I really prefer them even though I own and wear other styles. I really like low-rise undies with a fly front so I can pull my dick out the front when I bate at home. (Around other baters, of course, I wind up naked for sure.)
The main pic in my profile is a pair like I describe and here's a shot of THE SAME pair as I like to wear when I bate.

You really shouldn't be bating at home. It's a sin, and you'll go blind, and then you'll have to do the only proven cure: bating in public.

Currently into wearing boxers because of the cold weather but I love me some briefs. Especially white ones

If there's any 'stigma' I would guess it would be more toward wearing a thong instead of briefs and that's just my own attitude because I had never owned or worn one. I assumed that the tiny strip of fabric riding dead center on my hole would be uncomfortable and down-right unbearable....how could I possibly 'wear' a thong for even more than a few minutes so what's the use of buying one?

Then, because they were on sale and I was in a crazy mood I bought this one by After Dark. In the front there's a sewn-in hole in the panel so I can push my junk through. It's make of 80% Nylon 20% Lycra and it is beyond incredibly comfortable. I hardly feel I have anything on at all.

I like the support that briefs provide, and I think boxer briefs are an abomination. I was raised in "fly-front" tighty-whities. Today, I might sneer at a grown man wearing fly-front briefs

I agree about boxer briefs but I would never sneer at a guy wearing tighty whities. Like you, I was raised with them. Why would you sneer?

fellow men, i want to hear from you that if there's any stigma associated with wearing briefs as i have experienced some people giving me strange looks n sometimes bad comments even when they find out i wear briefs like in locker room etc. Also, i hardly see any other men wearing briefs (most people i see wear boxers, boxers briefs, long johns, underwears that go upto knees ect) although briefs is also a type of underwear and all brands offer this style. I am not saying others should wear briefs just because i like them, all i am asking is if briefs have some stigma attached to them and if yes, what could be the reasons, i may be mistaken though..

I just made a similar thread to this one. I, too, suffer from stigma agaisnt briefs. I beleive they are the best kind of undies for guys but for some reason they are regarded as childish, so when boys start their teen, or maybe even preteen, years, they are expected to do the switch from briefs to boxers or boxerbriefs. I was personally socially pressured and even by my mom, but I still prefer the tight briefs that make my butt and bulge look so yummy. Even more, I prefer briefs with cartoons or cool, silly patterns on them
