My Story of "Underwear Awakening"

I have always been fascinated by men's underwear, and to some extent, you must be too for you have found this page. It is a harmless and wonderful habit, or rather, obsession that surprisingly a lot of men have. Be they hetero-, homo-, bi-, or a-sexual a common ground or bond is forged via underwear.

Here is a brief (couldn't resist the pun) story of my realization of my fevered fetish. I remember, as a small boy, seeing my father in his standard JC Penney white briefs. I remember thinking that I would never grow up to fit in those huge things! Soon enough came junior high school where everyone had to dress for P.E. {physical education}. This was the first time I became aware of so many different types or colors of underwear. The first thing I noticed was that I was among maybe 5 other guys who wore briefs. I panicked. The very same day when I got home I demanded to my mom that we go and buy some "hangers" (boxers). Strange word, hangers, I don't even know if young boys still call them that but we did back in the late 1970's.

I threw out all my briefs, called "butt huggers" and replaced them with all kinds of colored and patterned boxers, "hangers". Don't think for a minute that my doing this had anything to do with comfort or fit, it didn't. To fit in, you wore what the other guys were wearing. The last thing I wanted was attention drawn to me because I was at the time battling my own budding homosexuality, which I didn't understand and oddly enough thought my obsession with underwear was a part of. I know now that is not true, but try telling a young teen that.

Anyway, I hated the way boxers felt. I hated every type I had. They always rode up your legs and stuffed your crotch. The situation is even worse in the summer and with the tight jeans that were worn at the time.

After I finished high school, I drove to the closest JC Penney's to buy some briefs. I had no idea what kind to get and only remember the Penney's boys briefs I had had. The colored briefs hadn't really caught on yet so I bought 6 pairs of plain white JC Penney size 34 briefs. I loved putting them on, the feeling they gave me. Never again would I wear those God awful boxers, or so I thought.

It was while in high school, when a buddy spent the night over, that I knew I was hooked on underwear. My friend didn't like to sleep in anything, not even his undies. After he was asleep, I reached for his briefs and smelled them. I won't go into the awakening that the aroma of a man on his briefs gave me. Suffice it to say that I started masturbating while smelling his briefs. Yes, and as fate would have it, he woke up while I was doing this. I thought I was going to die. He tells me that he had been awake the whole time and was spying on me. I asked him why he did that; did he not think it strange what I was doing. To make a long story short, this was also my first homosexual encounter. The cool thing was that in the morning when we were getting dressed he tossed me his briefs, that we had used as a clean up rag, and said keep these.

That planted the seed to today's new found hobby of trading underwear with other guys. As of this writing I have only traded a few pairs, but hope to many more! The thought of wearing or smelling or whatever with another guy's worn underwear is extremely exciting. If you are interested in trading with me, by all means let me know!

Nowadays I still wear mostly briefs for everyday wearing although I prefer Calvin Klein colored briefs over the Penney's. For weekend wear I like the boxer briefs. These can be just about any brand. Calvin Klein, Champion, Structure, Joe Boxer, Tommy Hilfiger, many others. I also have and do occasionally wear boxers. I love to see them on other guys, so if someone asks me to, I wear them.

Today's new "EXTRA" baggy pants look (which I find so ridiculous and stupid looking) has one great bonus...all that underwear being out there in the open! I am more turned on by seeing a guy dressed with his underwear band showing than I am by a naked man. Any others feel the same?

Guess I didn't keep it too short after all. Sorry, but you know how it is when you start talking about something that you like.
