Underwear fetish - what started you?

I can’t even think how or why it all began because it feels like I’ve always been obsessed. :imp:
There were old J.C. Penney/Sears catalogs in my grandparents’ basement that fed the flame.
There were drawers of my dad’s old HS sports gear in that same house, where I got to try his old jockstrap and bone up in it.
In HS I got more comfortable asking for or just grabbing more risqué styles when we would hit up stores like Marshall’s/TJMaxx because there would occasionally be erotic styles.
In college, more than a few straight guys wound up with one less pair of boxers/briefs/boxer briefs after a house party they’d hosted. (I used to become a very specific type of klepto when I drank. :joy:) One pair in particular that I took from a straight guy named Jesse — gray Hanes briefs — have lost some elasticity so they’re loose and always make me hard when I wear them.
At the local Y, I would always try to spend as much time as I could hanging out in my jockstraps before proceeding to put shorts on for the workout or before stripping them off for the shower.

I just get fascinated with the fabric men choose to cover their dicks.

I also steal underpants but not when i am drunk. Just steal from: Gym locker room, drawers, laundry basket, etc.
 
My obsession started in school, I remember in an IT class being sat next to this guy who was obviously wearing black briefs (his trousers were lower than his briefs so you could see) and this got me thinking about what all the other guys were wearing. Once I got to university I then went out with a guy who also had an underwear fetish which just encouraged me.
 
mine was seeing my macho mex dad bikini briefs, my slim hairy uncle in colored or striped briefs, and then countless random dads/men in undies at public beach or pool changing rooms. the 90's was an awesome time to be a boy :p:p:p:p:p
 
i went to an all boys school and i guess my obsession really started when i first laid eyes on the 20 boys around me stripping to just their underwear & socks, that was a huge turn on for me and stuck with me.
i really struggled to stay soft while in school changing rooms!
 
I think my obsession got started from the sears and jc penny catalogs. My mom always bought me tighty whities. I would be looking through the sears catalogs and see the models wearing all the other different kinds. and lets not forget about jim palmer in those jockey underwear ads. Then in high school getting to see other guys wearing different types of underwear. back then guys wore mainly tightie whities but when changing for PE class some of the jocks would be wearing bikini briefs. I can only remember one guy wearing boxers. It was the teacher's aide, he was a senior and he would change with us. he was tall and had hairy legs and be wearing those boxer shorts!
 
I was intrigued by the male underwear models in clothing catalogs when I was young. The bulges were so mysterious. When I was older my sister in NY ran a modeling scouting company and had catalogs of model pics she would use to help scout models for photo shoots. I remember vividly the make ones and many were in their underwear. I tried to suppress it but it just turned me on. The fit ones with abs in particular.
 
My fetish probably officially manifested after getting paid for the first time at my first job. Some 21ish years ago and I got my very first underwear haul. I had a keen interest in underpants for several years prior. I saw a box in the underwear department while shopping with my family that changed my life forever. It was a male thong. I was not enlighten or confident enough at the time to get it. However it never left my mind until I was able to purchase one. Well several. Tried boxers and hated them so was switching back to briefs that fateful day 25 or more years ago.
 
I know mine had to do with the taboo of people wearing briefs. I was born in the 90s and switch to boxers when a lot of my friends were as well. Anyone wearing briefs was seen as uncool and made fun of and that made them really interesting to me. I always tried to see if any of my attractive friends were wearing them/owned them.

Eventually this turned into a fetish. I am basically wearing either briefs or boxer-briefs now.

Good for you for resisting the absurd boxer rebellion of that era. Funny. In the 70's any guy wearing boxers got made fun of; it was considered grandpa underwear. I've never figured out how such trends in clothing suddenly change. In hs we all wore tighty whites. Mysteriously, 10-15 yrs later, TW's were laughed at. What happened?

Like many, I always had a fascination with underwear. And the JC Penney and Sears catalogs were the closest we had to porn in the 70s.

When I finally got to PE and seeing my classmates change clothes, most everyone was in tighty whities by FotL or Hanes. There were a couple of the boys who were in colored briefs. My cousins also were in colored briefs so I felt it was different based on what town you lived in. I always was curious to see what a guy was wearing as he bent over and exposed his underwear.

I recall a kid from another another school being on a church bus trip in junior high and the boy sharing his seat was leaning over the seat ahead of them. The boy reached up and gently tried to lift his seatmate’s shirt to see his underwear reveal. I so wanted to talk with that kid about his actions as I would have never been so brave but I knew I dare not bring it up with him.

And like others, I could explore my obsession once I earned my own money.
 
I also recall that when guys were in underwear on TV shows in 70s, they were always in light blue boxers. I thought it interesting that they were in color and always boxers. I guess it was to ensure nothing was visible.

I remember and was very surprised when a popular show showed one of the boys in tighty whities v. the standard light blue boxers when he did laundry with too much soap.

For what it's worth, a partridge-themed rival show also featured tighty whities when one of them was drafted into the army due to a clerical error. Same network, too.
 
actually I’m trying to remember how I got the underwear fetish. It’s like it’s always been there.

First of all, I remember seeing the packaging of underwear with pictures of men only with underwear on. I was like 9. But I think I didn’t care much as I wasn’t interested in sexual things at that moment.

Later when I was about 11-13 I got to experience first sexual thoughts. Same thing, I don’t know why but I was curious about men in underwear. It was school locker room when I saw that other guys were wearing tight boxers and I wore briefs. That time I decided I want to wear only tight boxers.

Within years this fetish kept growing on me, I don’t know why. Probably cause I never saw a naked man at that period of time.

The older I got the more specific my fetish got also. For the last 5 or more years I’m into men with white tight boxers and white tube socks (like adidas) AND I got such a big fetish for loose boxer shorts, I even switched to them so my penis is always “free” now. This is probably cause for some reason this associated with masculinity and I also like frat guys.

Makes perfect sense that you might evolve in your thinking on this crucial topic. Sad that you never saw naked guys during that period. I feel so lucky to have been in school in the 70's when all guys changed from eighty whites into jockstraps for sports. I used to steal the jocks when I could.
