The revolution in fashion has created a lot
of changes in men's underwear. Designers every now and
then reinvent briefs and boxer shorts. The difference
between the two is basically in the size and fit. Briefs are
smaller, thus they fit perfectly to the body of men. On the
other hand, boxers are buggy and cooler when used.
Men's preference differs a lot in choosing the best between
the two. Briefs are said to be sexy and defines the
figure of men. Some use briefs because it is the traditional
underwear. Others find boxer shorts very annoying especially
when they use fitted pants. Boxer shorts are for the
conservatives and for those who are uncomfortable with
tightly fit underwear. There are more than enough
reasons why some men use boxer shorts and why some men use
briefs.
Recently, a lot of arguments have been created as to which
between the two will be beneficial to men's fertility.
According to some, tight briefs generate a lot of heat. They
say that heat can cause infertility that is why a lot of
brief patrons have shifted from their usual underwear.
Another viable reason is that briefs prevent movement of the
penis. It is said that constant exercise by the penis
will help in stimulating and erecting it. In addition, the
blood will flow more freely enabling the penis to serve its
purpose. With the influx of arguments about the bad effects
of briefs to men's fertility, there has not been any
significant change of the part of men in terms of underwear
preference. In fact, brief manufacturers insist that such
claims are untrue as proven by some studies, which showed no
significant difference in the use of briefs and boxer shorts
to man fertility.
According to a study, sperm sterilization can be caused by
sudden increase of temperature in the testes. So much
heat will destroy some of the sperm cells until a man
reaches infertility. In the experiment, men were asked
to wear briefs and boxer shorts. The most important
factor was the difference of the heat in the testes when
using a brief or a boxer short. The results suggested
that the claim on briefs causing heat is purely
exaggeration. Briefs do not generate enough heat to
disturb the balance in men's reproductive organs. To boot,
there is no significant distinction observed in terms of the
temperature of the testes after using a brief and a boxer
short. Moreover, the preference to use a brief or a boxer
short has no effect in the fertility of men.
Therefore, the advice given to men to use boxer shorts
instead of briefs is proven as scientifically and medically
baseless.
The facts clearly indicate that choosing between a brief and
a boxer short should not be based on fertility issues.
Since, there are no significant differences, style and
comfort will be the determinants in selecting the best
underwear. Brief users have no reasons to panic and
boxer shorts users have nothing to argue about. The
only thing that should separate both is the design and
nothing else.
