Briefs look sexier, but boxers are easier to get your hands inside - and that's especially important if you like to be spanked ....

I generally tend to prefer boxer-briefs, although I do own a couple pairs of low-rise briefs that are quite comfortable.

When one gets to a certain girth, briefs, however cute when we are slim, look ridiculous!

I infinitely prefer briefs. I wear trunks because I hate flappy baggy pants

IMO, briefs. I'm not sure if that makes me old-fashioned, but I think they're more comfortable.

They certainly look better on an attractive person.

Boxer-briefs under a suit or similar. Briefs under shorts. Briefs - or nothing - under jeans.

Except at the moment, when the odd light sprinkling of snow is drifting down outside: anything longer than a two-minute walk to the corner shop calls for thermal longjohns!

Briefs are definately sexier. Briefs also show off all the right curves. As far as spanking, they are so tight against the butt it dont matter. Sad)

Brian, I hate to do this to you, but -- aaaaaaarrgh! I cannot remain silent any longer!

Scotsman has one T!
Haggis has two Gs and no Es! (unless you are Marc, in which case I suspect he spells it wrong to show his general distaste for it)

Note the abundance of exclamation marks, which I rarely use, to show the depth of my feeling!

Incidentally, if you really want to get up the nose of a Scotsman, call him a Scotchman, and pretend you don't know the difference. Razz

Best wishes,

Deeej

P.S. What does 1407a mean?

I do find a body is sexier in a wrapper. And often a skimpy wrapper is too obvious. But I do like briefs, especially red briefs, on a tanned body.

I am also a speedo fan. And yet, when those long shorts get wet they reveal so much more than speedos

Boxer-briefs under a suit because the elastic in briefs tends to leave a "visible panty line" across the bum when bending over - something I always notice on others, and would prefer not to display myself! I admit, I do like some support, so plain boxers (even the sexy silk ones my ex. gave me) are not my first choice.

As for jeans - well, 501's, anyway - if they fit they way I like them (neither so tight as to be obscene, nor so loose as to need regular hauling up) they really don't need anything under them. But if I suffer further middle-aged spread (having gone up from 28" waist to 30" a couple of years ago) I will have to re-think this!

Normally, such appalling provocation would oblige me to send one of my shadowy US associates to Rednecksville to teach you the error of your ways ... but I suppose that as you were born and raised in the Southern States of the USA you have already suffered enough!

David's absolutely correct, Scots (or Scottish) is the nationality, Scotch is the stuff we Scotsmen drink instead of water. We're quite laid back about calling each other Scotch, though (usually in the phrase 'you stupid Scotch git!') but when anyone who is not from Scotland calls one of us a Scotchman it's pretty well equivalent to a declaration of war!

As regards our infamous and indigestible staple foodstuff, haggis is spelt haggis, and that's all there is to it. Of course the inferior levels of intelligence found West of the Atlantic make spelling errors inevitable!

And the truth about kilts is that hardly any Scotsmen outside of the armed forces ever wear them; they tend to be bought by Englishmen and Americans who are desperate to pretend they have Scottish ancestry! It's true that in the armed forces nothing is worn under a kilt, and this does follow the original tradition. Intrepid tourists visiting the Highlands a century or more ago were prone to sudden fainting fits whenever their native guides led them uphill - kilts in those days tended to be pretty short and revealing.

Having got all that off my chest, this Scotsman will now have a Scotch. None of that namby-pamby Southern Discomfort for me!

Did you know that 501s are unique. If you really do it right, you put them on and walk out into the ocean, then come out and let them dry on you. they will dry and form fit to you. bein gnot close to salt water a bath with the water loaded up with sea salt will do just fine.;-D

'Git', according to the Oxford Dictionary, means 'worthless person'. It's derived from the medieval noun 'get', meaning offspring of a domesticated animal. It's not a word to be used in the face of anyone who is more than half your size and not stone deaf - unless of course you enjoy having your facial contours seriously modified! We Scots use it among ourselves after the tenth Scotch, by which time we know that no-one is capable of standing, let alone punching, and that the minds of everyone present will be completely blank by the time the hangovers wear off!

Jack who? Oh, that 'Tennessee Sippin' Whisky' stuff. Over here, we use it for clearing drains!

And those shorts ... I hope they're tartan!

I'm not sure that I'd agree with you that the kilt is hardly worn except by those in the armed forces. I'm around 1/3rd Scottish (the family has married to-and-fro across the border for the past couple of hundred years, which makes exact calculation a bit irrelevant), and spent seven years working in Fife (93-01). It was certainly true at some of the formal events for younger people - such as Student Balls - the kilt was mainly worn by Americans (and, as our staircase had gaps and glass panels, I couldn't help noticing that most of them were following traditional practice - no underwear), but events that mainly attracted an older crowd had around 15-20% kiltwearers. I'm thinking of things like Opera, Royal visits, Burns Night, Hogmanay ... and even the World Cup!

Perhaps it varies from region to region? The "Kingdom of Fife" certainly takes a pride in its reputation for being 'different' from anywhere else on earth!

... now known as Lothian and the Borders, we would dismiss a faction of 15% as being beneath our notice. And the only good things to come out of the Kingdom of Fife are the bridges across the Forth and Tay - Southbound and Northbound respectively!

Anyway, they were probably all visiting Americans!

Seriously, though, I've 'Addressed the Haggis' or proposed 'The Immortal Memory' on (I think) fourteen Burns' Night celebrations, and I've only once been expected to wear a kilt, which I hired at vast expense to the organisers, and under which I wore tartan briefs bought specially for the occasion! Mind you, on that occasion I WAS complimented on my hip movements!

Well, the panty line bit makes sense but I still don't understand how anyone could wear jeans without underwear with all the friction and what not. I have a couple pairs of vintage wranglers that are extremely tight and I may have to go try that whole no underwear thing but I just don't see it working out.
I wish I went from a 28 to a 30, 'cause then I'd still be a 30 instead of a 32.

Without wanting to be too grossly anatomical about it, I suspect that those of us who have retained, or restored, enough foreskin to ensure "full coverage" probably find this less of a problem than those whose most delicate bits are fully exposed to friction effects.

I am writing to express my thanks for the very prompt delivery of the twelve bottles of Jack Daniels Tennessee Sippin' Drain Cleaner which I ordered from you recently.

My drains are once again fresh and sparkling, and have in fact become a major topic of conversation in our neighbourhood.

Please be assured that I will immediately think of you whenever I am confronted by a smelly drain.

Yours, etc

Cossie MacScotch

PS - Thank you for the free shorts, but do you have any in a rather smaller size? The pair you sent had a waist measurement of 62 inches and a 30 inch inside leg. I have passed them on to my local Sea Scouts, who were appealing for donations to replace the sail on their dinghy.

Thank you for your timely response to my complaint.

I do apologise for failing to tick the appropriate box, and I assume that in the circumstances you sent me a pair of shorts which were of average size. I had heard that gross obesity had become common in the USA, but I had no idea that the problem was so acute. I do hope that no-one over there eats haggis, as in stomachs of such dimensions there would be a severe risk of explosion as the ingredients are digested.

I appreciate the replacement shorts, which I shall treasure always!

Yours etc
