Boxers are loose underwear for boys and men. They're more popular than briefs.

  • Many well-endowed men prefer boxers because they seem more roomy.
  • The opening in front of the boxer shorts gives easier access to the penis.
  • Boxer shorts are generally less revealing when worn alone.
  • Boxers are cooler to wear in summer heat.
  • It is much easier to use a urinal when wearing boxers.
  • They help prevent jock itch (tinea cruris) by being less tight in the groin area.
  • Recent studies suggest that men who wear boxers are less likely to develop testicular cancer because boxers allow normal functioning of the body's natural regulation of scrotal temperature. Further studies are still being conducted.[citation needed]
  • Boxer shorts appear in more styles, colors and patterns.
  • Boxer shorts usually do not reveal details of the man's groin/genitals.
  • Being looser, boxer shorts are the easiest type of underwear to remove.
  • Some men prefer to have sexual intercourse while wearing boxer shorts.
  • They are the underwear of choice for sagging.
  • They can double as underwear and sleepwear.
  • They allow the genitals to hang naturally without being constrained.
  • Some studies have suggested that tight underwear and high temperature are bad for spermatogenesissperm. The reasoning is based on the following: the testicles are outside the body for cooling because they operate for sperm production at a lower temperature than the rest of the body, and boxer shorts allow the testes to operate within the required temperature range. The compression of the genitals in briefs may cause the temperature to rise and sperm production to fall. This is a similar theory regarding testicular cancer risk.
