don't ask me, i'm just reporting what i've been told

But you were told that from a Seinfeld episode (probably).

Not everything they say is correct.

Sometimes I think this board has gone crazy.....and usually, its confirmed.

*Sigh* What a sad sight.

no, actually.

Considering I work in a hospital.........

ACK!

Some men who are young do have low sperm count.

And not wearing briefs can help.

but even though I have never been tested, I'm reasonably sure I have probably 50 or 60 trillion sperm per cc.

Actually the whole briefs-reduce-spermcount thing hasn't ever been proven, it's just an urban legend thing that people think makes sense but all of the tests they've done don't back it up

Have you ever heard the debate about whether men should wear boxers or briefs? It goes something like this: Briefs are tighter, so it's possible that they can raise your body temperature above the norm for sperm to survive. So if a guy wants to be really fertile, boxers are the way to go. Truth is, this has yet to be scientifically proven.

There is less and less evidence that the type of underwear a man wears has a signigficant effect on sperm counts. For a long time we encouraged men to wear boxers if they were having any trouble getting pregnant, but there just is no proof that this makes any difference.

And apparently a study in the "Journal of Urology" (I gotta subscribe to that one!) "showed that there was no difference in either the semen analysis or the core testicular temperature between groups of men who wear boxers or briefs."

I wear boxers only as they're easier to wear and rip off

It also depends on the kind of clothes one wears. Wearing jeans all the time may have the effect that you are blaming briefs for. Other trousers are probably much cooler.

Plus there are some types of briefs that are really spacey. It depends on how well you fit the standard industry sizes.

Any links about the twisting hazard? is it an urban legend too?

Briefs

Boxers are for hicks

[FrustratedPoet]

Boxer-briefs.

There is no way you can twist your nuts. Well maybe there is a way. If you take pliers and just- theremine

You must have really loose nuts and be spinning around in circles or something to twist them. . I can't see it.

And yes I wear my old briefs quite a bit. I alternate with boxers. My briefs are a bit higher waist than I'd normally have so I have more room. Hell all my clothes are too big for me now I've lost weight.

Boxers, I hate they way the legs roll up when you put pants on.

OTOH, people wearing briefs tend to get very uncomfortable when they have an erection and this tends to make little "Johny" a little bit skewed.

Briefs.

People who wear boxers must not be regular exercisers. You probably don't even need to run to catch a bus.

I was wearing briefs since I could remember myself, but switched to boxers a year or so ago. I tried to wear briefs once(ran out of boxers ) and it was really uncomfortable.

When at home, only commando.

Actually it can happen and as axi said, it's very painful. The first thing one should do in this case is order a taxi to the hospital and hope to stay conscious by the time it arrives.
