I just heard on the radio a new study said 4% of women and 10% of men in America don't wear underwear on a regular basis!

So, hows about on general?

the figure is lower for women??
i wouldn't have expected that from personal experience...

anyhoo, i'm a bloke and i always wear underwear. don't like to have my thingy dangling too freely and rubbing against denim jeans :-S

When at home, I go commando.

I normally wear underwear, and it's normally my own.

Of course I don't wear underwear on a regular basis!
...
Of course, I also don't wear pants on a regular basis either, so I guess it's not the same thing, eh?

Definitely commando for me! I hate to have things binding against my skin. Layers of clothing are also bad.

Once when I got really pissed off with my boxers riding up causing me to have to rearrange my underwear frequently, I just didn't bother. It was actually very comfortable, but I didn't like the idea of no barrier for my trousers.

(this should be multiple choice)

i used to go commando all the time for the thrill of it, until i sat on some nettles once and got stung through my trousers, that was an absolute bastard for a couple of days :(. these days i only go commando if i haven't got any clean shorts to wear or if i can't be bothered to find any and i'm not going to be leaving the flat. the other attraction of going commando is that there's nothing to get tied in knots with.

Yeah I go commando when I'm at home or go to the store to buy some snacks. When its a hot day it can get sweaty and that isn't very comfortable.

I clicked the wrong thing on the poll. :(
Believe me.. I do wear underwear!!
I find that the breeze is creepy...

it's not comfortable to not wear underpants when you're wearing jeans, in my experience...
when i'm at home or in bed, i normally don't wear more than underpants, unless it's particularly cold.
i'd wear less clothing, but that's not the sort of thing i want to do around my parents

This would appear to be a very good oppurtunity to plug a friend's business. c.c

I mean with knickers like that, who would ever want to go commando. :eek:

Plug aside... I like wearing underwear... I need all the insulation from the outside world I can get.

I want to know what you mean by "underwear".......I voted "I don't wear clothes" although I actually do, you know like at church, I always wear clothes at church.

I always wear clothes at church.
why would you do something as strange as that?

Usually I wear hipsters though I prefer not to wear any when I’m in the house only because nobody wants to see my crack whilst there shopping (because it would distract them from bargains of course not because I don’t wipe properly or something…)

I'm a fan of lingerie, and frankly, I just don't like the feeling of not wearing underwear. But, there are always exceptions.

and i'm sure we can all think of many... :p

Zippers can bite, and emergency room techs can attest to that.

Besides, I always like wearing something modest or casual... and then having something very racy on under it. ;)

Occasionally I'll go commando. Like today, I didn't wear any underwear under my pants. ;)

No underwear unless I'm wearing them so someone can take them off.

Sometimes I freesnake it, but zippers can be incredibly painful.

I nearly always wear boxers during the day, except on those occasions (usually during the holidays) where the only reason I get out of bed is to slob around the house, when I just stick on my slobbing trousers (loose and comfortable, with an enormous hole in the crotch) and a dressing gown. I just don't like the feel of trousers against penis, it's not good, and as has been said before, the risk of zips just doesn't bare thinking about.

Speaking of bare, I sleep in the buff, and I find it very liberating, and it also does away with the problem of pyjamas getting all tangled when you move around in bed. It also makes waking up with an enormous erection far more amusing :D

I sleep without clothing as well, but I wouldn't bother to flatter myself in the same way that you chose for yourself. ;p

Same here... if I don't wear underwear, it's intentional. And not for too long ;)

I'm always freeballing. Hell the only reason I'm wearing pants right now, is that I'm sitting on a metal chair.:eek:

I've been going commando since age five. After about a month straight of doing so, wearing blue jeans without underwear actually became more comfortable than it would've been had I worn the underwear in the first place.

I only ever wear underwear when it's absolutely necessary, such as when it's very cold outside. That's what longjohns are for. Then again, I'd just as likely take them off when my body warms up.

In my opinion, underwear are terrible. First of all, the whole thing about zippers being dangerous is ridiculous: you have to be very clumsy and/or absent-minded to even so much as catch a tiny piece of skin in there. And then, underwear being "comfortable" is just as much of a lie, as I notice a huge difference when I don't wear underwear and when I do, and I'll say that it's far more comfortable not wearing any, especially with blue jeans. And underwear in bed? You've gotta be fucking kidding me.

Underwear... Who needs it?

I honestly thought that only idiots in Hollywood did that. Thank you for reinforcing that.

Exactly. I honestly can't see why people would wear underwear if given an alternative.

Wasn't commando a bad action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger?

My thoughts exactly, though I rather like the feeling of not wearing underwear.

Reminds me of a story, probably apocryphal, of a couple who drove off to the local mall one summer's day and had car trouble as they arrived in the parking lot. The husband told the wife to go ahead and do her shopping, he'd call the auto club and wait by the car. She did so and a couple of hours later was surprised to see a small crowd gathered around her car. She made her way to the vehicle and beheld, to her horror, a pair of male legs sticking out from under the car, clad in shorts and very visibly without benefit of underwear. Knowing her husband's predeliction for "going commando," the mortified woman bent down and tucked the "family jewels" back out of sight. There was a cry and a thud from under the car and she straightened up to see her husband looking at her from the other side of the car. The mechanic who had been working on the engine needed three stitches to close the gash in his forehead.

I guess the moral is, guys, around the house might be fine but if you're going to be crawling under cars in a public parking lot, something under those shorts would be a good idea. :p

I can work on cars, but you can be damn sure that I wouldn't subject myself to that indignity in public.

(The indignity of working on a car, that is.)

I always wear them, which makes me some sort of minority here. I wear boxer briefs, which are actually comfortable, and I don't really like to be without underwear. I can't sleep too well with a shirt on, but underwear, and preferably a pair of basketball shorts, are ideal.

I also like the way a nice pair of undies looks on a woman. Preferably ones that don't leave much to the imagination, but I am not particular.

i did once when i was really drunk. but i didn't actually get skin stuck in the zipper, i don't know how people manage that, it was just a little nick. bloody painful though.

anyway button-flies are way better than zip-flies for every eventuality *nod*.

I liked Arnold's "Commando" movies.

99.9% of the time I'm out and about, I'm wearing boxers (under casual clothes, of course). At home, I wear shorts and boxers underneith (I got roommates) In bed, I go nude.

I'm planning on buying a house (My New Years Resolution and looking very promising) I don't plan on having anymore roommates and will be looking forward to walking around my house and back yard (I'll have a privacy fence) in the Buff... :D
