Going Half Commando for Better Support

Hey guys. This idea surfaced in another thread but I’m giving it it’s own thread to get your opinions and make it easier to find.

The debate was between the possible benefits in length of going commando (so your penis can hang) versus the sometimes necessary ball support provided by tighter fitting underwear.

I never really thought about it before and I usually wear snug briefs or boxer briefs, the ones with the overlapping flaps in the front to easily whip out your penis when urinating (although I usually just pull the waste band down to go, but anyway).

For the last week or so I have been going “half commando” and wearing them with my penis hanging out through this opening under my pants, allowing a nice flaccid hang while keeping my balls are nicely supported as usual.

Here is the original thread:

Constricting underwear

I wear boxers except in the gym. IMO letting it hang is the best practice. Just like BigGirtha says, never let it turtle.

I really believe it’d going to work for you. I haven’t worn any underwear in years.

Just wear boxers.

Try boxer trunks for 2xi-st ~ nice pouch but soft and not constricting.

Gravity is going to pull down on anything part of your body that is not properly supported (think of older women and sagging breasts). In the case of boxers, that includes your penis and your balls.

This might not seem like a big deal at first, but I have heard stories of older guys complaining their balls dip into the water when sitting on the toilet.

Since hearing that I have been more than a little paranoid and careful to try and support myself as much as possible.

I thought this was a decent compromise.

No need to support the balls unless they’re already hanging super low. Just go commando…I do 90% of the time.
