Appearance aside, boxers may be the optimal underwear for men aiming to be fathers.
Men who wear looser-fit boxer shorts have higher sperm concentration than men squeezed into tight underwear, a new study published Wednesday in the journal Human Reproduction found. Sperm concentration, which is the number of sperm per milliliter of semen, is one of a few standard metrics of male fertility.
However, men who preferred “bikinis,” better known as briefs, and other tight-fitting underwear had higher levels of follicle-stimulating hormone compared to the men in boxers. Because this hormone stimulates sperm production, the researchers speculate these higher levels, which push the testicles to work harder at producing sperm, may be the body’s way of compensating for lower sperm concentration.
“Whether underwear choice affects sperm production has been a topic of research for several years,” said Lidia Mínguez-Alarcón, lead author of the new study and a research scientist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. But this study is the first to investigate whether a man’s selection of undies affects his testicular function as measured in a number of ways, including reproductive hormones and DNA fragmentation, she said.

I’ve shot them over there, so I’m pretty sure there are some left. The Hartman’s mountain zebras are rare and beautiful, and good to cook on the grille(braai) as well.
that’s me too, the longer ones, so I don’t hang out the leg band.
I wonder what the heck Tiny Tim was wearing.
Most us real men of the south don’t wear either ,haven’t own a pair or either in over 50 + years
men look better in loosely fitting briefs...same goes for swimming suits, etc....
I meant boxers...boxers superior looking than the tidy whiteys...
I’ve been commando for the last 50 years, ever since the Corp.
More wasted money on what we knew decades and decades ago.
boxer briefs. great stuff. hanes.
Also, the word before "Health" in the sign, has an extra "L" in it.

Actually taking a long hot bath before sex is very effective birth control.
Thoughts? That since i dont want to go through the pain or expense of having a lift I’ll stick with my tighty whiteys
Now they tell me!!!
Our track coach used to tell everyone to wear a jockstrap as he didn’t want them running down the track with their balls swinging to and fro.
Well, I guess Millenials dont’ run track so they can wear whatever they want.
They knew this at least forty years ago, and it’s a new discovery now?
+1. Been wearing them for years.
I wear wear briefs, and fathered
two children. My brother wears
briefs and fathered seven. I guess
his fit looser.
“Not true,” Werthman says. “It’s an old wives’ tale.” He’s not sure how the myth -- that snug briefs keep balls too close to the body’s warmth, raising their temperature and cooking the 400 million sperm within like crabs at a seafood boil -- got its start, but it’s one Werthman has heard again and again over his 20 years as a urologist.
“I’ve heard urologists say all kind of wacky crap just because they’re ignorant. That’s why people get multiple opinions,” Werthman says. “Studies have been done to analyze temperatures of men who wear boxers versus briefs, and it makes absolutely no difference in fertility.”

Kind of like funding a study that says the Sun tends to rise in the East - been know for so long that it falls under “common knowledge”....
