[quote=Anonymous]I was in school late 80s/90s and finished high school in 01. The boxer boom did begin in the 90s but, it was still safe to wear tightywhities without really being bothered. Most families were about saving a buck and were not swayed by their kids clamoring for more expensive underwear when they could get a 6-pack of briefs for the price of a 2-pack of boxers or dropping $20 on one pair of Joe Boxer boxers. There were a bunch of briefs-under-boxers guys in the locker room, which I thought was funny and exciting. It wasn’t until your era around 2002 when boxer briefs became the majority what you saw in Walmart, the beginning of the dark ages for tighty whities.

I understand how strong the stigma grew against tighty whities. I’ve heard many horror stories of people getting bullied for simply their preference of underwear. The great thing now is that most of the early 2000 students are now done with high school and feel more confident returning to tighty whities, their preference for underwear.

There is sort of a humiliation factor I kinda enjoyed, but it wasn’t empowering for me to continue wearing them. Seeing my peers in tighty whities from childhood and until adulthood has had a profound effect on me and is directly tied to my preference for guys. I guess this sheds some light on why most tighty whities guys end up liking guys... [/quote]
