For the guys that wear boxers...i have a question.

[Anonymous]

Since boxers are so loose around the crotch area, what happens to your penis? Does it flop straight down or around in there? Isn't it uncomfortable? It's just floating around?. I asked one of my guy friends about this and he laughed at me. He tried to explain but I didn't quite get it. I may not be phrasing this very well either. When you wear briefs, you have some support in your crotch unlike boxers. I can't be the only one that is wondering this. I may be asking a naive question, but oh well. Help me out, lol.

Okay, first, you have two separate parts: a penis and the testicles. Normally, when the penis is not erect, it's far smaller and doesn't hang as far out of the body, so there isn't as much to hang down. It would be more of an issue if penises stayed the same length as if they were erect, and just got soft, but that's not what happens for most guys. SOME guys do have that happen to some extent (their penis stays nearly full length, even when soft), so while it appears much bigger than average when soft, it isn't necessarily bigger when hard. Sometimes referred to as a "shower" instead of a "grower."

Then there are the balls to remember. They hang and float around as well, and while they DO retract a bit when cold, they are mostly just hanging around. Briefs, boxer briefs, and jock straps are mostly to provide support for the testicles, rather than the penis, because the penis is tougher and less easily damaged than testicles. In boxers, they do just kind of hang, and flop around sometimes if your pants are loose, and while it can be kind of nice to just be natural and let them breathe more, you can also get your nuts twisted, squished, or other issues. That's why many guys wear underwear with more support, to keep them in place and closer to the body.

thanks for the thorough answer!

To be honest most of the time it's so small it won't flop around much. At room temp and not being turned on a penis is pretty small. I remember when I first switched to boxers I did notice my balls hung more and moved more but now I don't even notice it.

If I'm going out running I wear boxer briefs or briefs for support because that level of activity will make it bounce sometimes.

It's better to wear boxers around girls because it leaves room for the penis to get fully erect and noticed by the girl if you're making out or rubbing against each other.

Thanks for asking, I am really curious too. But somehow I find it a little hard to put it in words. Thanks :)

No problem ha ha :)

Originally, I got boxers more for the protection of my thighs when I would walk long distances (I was overweight and my thighs were huge, but I digress). I noticed other benefits after switching from briefs to boxers, the primary one being that briefs would squeeze my balls to the point of it being uncomfortable. Also, no 'floating' for me as I'm not that well endowed.

Penises don't flop around that much. They're not like breasts which are heavy and have a lot of inertia so they flop around when you move. A penis just stays put mostly. It doesn't need to be supported or restrained.

My balls auto fill with helium and float like balloons , while in boxers :P .

I don't wear boxers when wearing tight pants, I only wear them in loose jeans or pants, my member just dangles around and often goes to ones side of my legs and stays put.

Mostly I wear boxers only when I go to bed or if I don't have any other clean boxer briefs, which is my first choice when going out into the real world.

What's happening ? Freeeeeeeeeeeeedoooooooooooom :D

[Asker]

So it is just floating around down there...

[Girlie8780]

Haha floating penises...

[onlyaguy]

+1 ^^

[PhilaPenn]

Lol. Seriously. Flops but you get used it and hardly notice after a while. Gotta let things breathe. Especially in the summer. Briefs are so constricting. Too tight.

Well, I bought those un-supporting boxers to try them.

If I wear them with jogging trousers it feels very free and if jogging it gets very visible how it bounce up and down in there.

When I wear tighter trousers my glans tend to get squeezed in one of the legs causing friction when I walk which sometimes gives me unwanted boners. The boxers protects the penis from the more rugged stitchings of jeans and the like.

I usually prefer supportive boxers like these: link

That's why I don't like boxers.

[someguy1987]

Haha like people say, the penis just kinda hangs there, but its smaller when its soft.

It does kinda hurt tho if you're jumping around and stuff (at least for me). If I'm playing like DDR or Kinect or something like that, a lot of times I'll put on briefs. It kinda hurts to have my testes flopping around. I guess it would be similar to girls putting on a sports bra or something.

I'm sure it differs guy to guy tho. Hope this helped!

[Asker]

Thank you!

Yes, when boxers were wide, he dropped to the knees.

[SaltandVinegar]

It just flops around and hangs there

[xXxAx3LxXx]

Our penis doesn't need a bra like boobs do, so yes us boxer users have our penis just floating around.

[benroscow]

it flips and flops around when walking or running, but just hangs under the fabric otherwise. the movement can sometimes cause an unwanted erection, which in public is very embarrassing as they poke out like a circus tent at the front

I started wearing boxers when I was about 20. At first it really hurt because of the friction with the head of my penis. I also got quite a few boners because of that. After a few months I got used to it and it became all normal. Since then I only wear boxers. My penis is small so there's no floating. lol

its just hanging with the front of your pants & legs holding it in a general area. if you run or do jumping jacks or something like that it will 'flop around'. I prefer them so that I have some air flow and am not all bunched up in there...
