Back to boxers

ImagesI'm making the transition from briefs back to boxers. I think it's going well. A little difficult in the early stages...a lot of bunching up and that occasional feeling of 'too much' freedom. But it's all coming back to me. I and a handful of pals were in the forefront of the boxer revolution back in my highschool days. (Not to be confused with the Boxer Rebellion in China) A good buddy of mine had moved here from California, where, apparently everybody wore boxers and nobody wore 'bun huggers' (as he called them). We were all white kids from Agincourt and it was 1976 and everybody was wearing 'bun huggers'. But one by one, my southern Cal pal converted us to the glory and 'freedom' of the boxer. Until eventually there was a dozen or so of us who could be easily identified by the puff of cotton boxer short poofed up from the back of our jeans. Don't get me wrong. We were not in any way trying to portray the 'low slung, pants around my ass prison look' so popular nowadays. All of our pants fit quite nicely up around our hips where they were meant to be...we were just having a hard time getting the boxers to stay down.
I wore them for a long time and I can't really remember when I abandoned them for 'briefs' again. I have a feeling my wife had something to do with it. Not out of any personal agenda...just that she buys my gotchies. But I'm back. And I think I'm back to stay. After all, can you really have 'too much' freedom?

Neil!
I thought there was a post on here from you recently about the scene for Little Mosque where you are in your underwear????
I've seen the commercial for a few days now and every time I see it, I LMAO! seriously! I can't wait for the show to come on tonight.
Not that I'm laughing at you but it's just so funny that a guy would be out there in his underwear mowing the lawn and end up being their neighbour!

If you listen closely, you may be able to hear me laughing all the way down in Oshawa tonight!
Cheers to you!

Hey Neil! Just a brief note....my son too enjoys boxers; has since he was 12 now 17. My husband feels a little too wild and loose in them. I like all of the wild designs and patterns on the boxers. Good stocking stuffers. Anyway.....enjoy your freedom and do you have smiley faces on today?

TMI!
