A box is not a jockstrap.

Yes, but try using the first without the second...

You just stick it down your underpants.

Wouldn't work with those horrible "boxer" things the boys wear now.

My son and I are amused to see that I wear briefs becaue my father
wore those baggy things, while he wears baggy things in sharp
contrast to his father's skintight underkegs.

I don't know of anyone who wears those baggy things. At least I've never seen
them on sale in clothing shops.

I'd like to point out that in the US the word "boxers" is also used for a
type of underpants which are, like briefs, skintight. Imagine a pair of
briefs with two short legs added and you have this other sort of boxers.

Presumably, the fertility problems which briefs are suspected (by some) of
causing would also occur with these skintight boxers.

I'm pretty sure of it. The bagginess of my son's boxers, on the other
hand, is relative both to my habitual briefs _and_ to those tight
ones; but not to the kind of thing my father preferred (at that point
I was exaggerating the looseness of my offspring's unterkrackers for
rhetorical effect).

Mike.
