Why do people wear underwear?
I mean, what's the point? It's something else to take off and put on.

Of this I freely admit I'm naive, and I wear underwear!

1. Well, here's a very good reason why I do.
Have you ever gotten yourself stuck in a zipper? That will pretty much swear you off free-balling for life.

2. Also it cuts down on chaffing and protects clothes so that they can be
worn several times.

4. It's there for just in case you leave your fly unzipped.
Minimizes the embarrassment and keeps you from being arrested for indecent exposure. Also, somebody mentioned getting your thingy caught, but have you ever gotten your pubes caught? Hurts bad, too. Seriously I have no clue what the origination of underwear is.

5. My grandma said it was so that if you had an accident
In case of an vehicular accident you would not be embarrased if the paramedics had to cut off your pants, I think it is because it makes it feel like something(someone) is holding you all the time.

who knows?:shrug:

8. Same Reason we have 7 layers of skin
Being nearly naked all the time may lead to problems. A little added cover may come in handy unless you like to be raw.

11. Because ...
Edited on Sat Aug-16-03 11:29 AM by The Backlash Cometh
All human orifices have mucuous membranes. Which is why I wear underwear over my ears.

13. in case they are hit by a bus
and are laying on the sidewalk being attended to by paramedics.

This way, their unmentionables show instead of their privates.


Glad I could help clear that up.

14. Why do people wear outerwear?
aside from temperature considerations, I mean.

Underwear ads show people casually strutting their stuff without a care in the world. If we can watch it on TV and in magazines without batting an eye, why is it verboten in public?

In the midst of the steamiest, stickiest weather of the year, I propose we all ditch the outerwear...keep the underwear to discourage flies and other pests from congregating in uncomfortable places.

15. If you're like a lot of guys, some types of underwear prevent jock itch.
I wear Boxer briefs, myself. The best of both worlds, IMO. Prevents the rash, they don't bunch up like boxers, and they don't have the diaper qualities of briefs.

I actually go commando sometimes when it's cold outside. But in hot weather, I would NEVER think of doing that.

16. Protection from seams
In the winter I go for boxer briefs. They offer some support, and don't pinch like regular briefs. I wear boxers in the summer, because they let the boys breathe a little.

19. To intercept skid marks
All those skid-marks many men reportedly produce would be on their drawers instead.

27. To catch the drips.
Sorry to be so graphic but I can't think of any other way to say it. I used to know guys who joked about those little "drip" marks on the front of slacks after they'd gone to the bathroom.
