Regarding men's underwear styles available these days in the west, I want to understand why briefs or other smaller types (like bikini briefs, tangas, etc) have lost ground and we can't even find them in stores, unless you purchase from a underwear website.. I travel around the world and I see briefs common in many countries, so I am very curious to know why people are moving away from briefs here.. is it because men in the west are becoming more and more shy as briefs show more legs than long johns? or is it the because of the fear of being called gay or being called feminine? or something else.. I know in earlier times, many men proudly wore brief style on the beach and women wore bikinis, but now women still wear skimpy bikinis but men moved to board shorts on the beaches, and long boxers or maximum boxer briefs as underwear.. i would like to know from fellow men what is causing that shift.. i am sure there are multiple reasons.. and i would also like to hear from non-western countries men too as I do see many brief style in the stores there...i am asking as many times i have found myself to be the only one wearing briefs, and get weird looks... and if it was like some men wore boxers, some boxer briefs, some briefs, i wouldn't have asked this question but I don't see anyone wearing briefs these days...if you could include your country in your answer, it would helpful.
