Boxers are fine inside the home. No one's testicles are flying out. FFS

You've never worn boxers, I'm guessing? I'm male and it is not appropriate to hang around the house in underwear including boxers if you have other people in the house. It's weird and dysfunctional and speaks more to a failure in your existence to think it's fine to wear boxers in front of other people.

It's perfectly fine to wear them in front of your immediate family members (spouse + kids). Yes, I've worn boxers

Gross. Your fam doesn’t want to see your skid mark undies

DP, but please, start wiping better.

Is all this anti-boxers in the house sentiment coming from people who don’t know how to properly clean themselves?

But even he wouldn't go off our property in his underwear.

Gross unless he is an underwear model

OK, let’s not go overboard.

To be clear, there are a wide variety of boxer shorts. If I’m grabbing the mail or getting something from the car in a T-shirt and something like this (https://www.hanes.com/hanes-cool-comfort-reg-men-s-boxers-pack-moisture-wicking-plaid-6-pack.html), no one is even going to notice they aren’t just regular shorts.

I’m sure it was a dig but one of the PPs said only in NJ, I do think this may be partly an Italian thing.

Just, do not. Yes, we will notice. Have some dignity.

I mean they are plaid?!!

No just boxers outside of the bedroom unless it is just you and dh home. Ever.

Exactly. This is the argument—they’re just shorts. They cover as much as most casual shorts with a shorter-side inseam.

Boxers have a gap for urinating. Shorts do not.

You do know that our penises aren't 6 month old labs trying to get out of a barely open screen door, right?

NP. I also know that your penis can easily show, not just because of the boxers' flap, but also because standard boxers are fairly loose and have largeish leg openings. You unthinkingly bend a bit, a leg of the boxers hikes up a little between the legs, and the tip of your c**k shows out the leg of the boxers. Are men really totally unaware that boxers are not freaking clothing?

It's not about "They cover as much as most casual shorts." It's about the fact that your casual shorts have underwear beneath them corraling your penis, and probably don't have a soft, wide leg opening on each side and a penis flopping around inside them.

Wear some damn clothes!

Some of you married gross men. Eww. DH wears a t shirt and sweatpants or athletic shorts (season depending) to leave our bedroom.

^^PS he does not own tank tops and the fact that he had bought one would be a major red flag that he was off the deep end already.

LOL, yup. The tank top and flip flops too {shudders}.

Good catch. If your DH wears tank tops, start there. If my DH walked out of the house in a tank top, underwear, and flipflops, I would probably call his parents and start talking about psychiatric commitment.

It’s the flap. Bend or move the wrong way, or experience a bit of “awakening,” and Mr Turtle is peeking his head out.

There’s just no way to be certain you won’t end up in court for indecent exposure, or at minimum have a very awkward situation.
