i used to only wear boxers, but there's the small problem of bunching up on you. the problem with briefs are.. well, sweaty balls, stickiness- i don't really need to say more, do i? then i discovered boxer briefs. comfortable in that there is plent of breathing room, and the give support around the legs so they never really bunch up. right now i'm a half and half guy; half the time i wear boxers, half the time boxer briefs, but i think i'm beginning to like boxer briefs more. give it a try, it's totally worth it.
