Poll Results




As you may have noticed there has been a poll in the sidebar of this blog for a long time. The question is "What is your favorite style of underwear?". The results are all public but I would just like to report on what they are because they are quite interesting. I'd also like to compare them to a survey done by Freshpair . I'd like to note that my sample mainly was targeted at underwear enthusiasts while Freshpair just surveyed every average Joe. My poll showed that briefs were favored (584 votes) closely follwed by thongs (545 votes). Then in third came boxerbriefs (447). I was also surprised that 176 liked boxers and 84 prefer wearing nothing (this is an underwear site people!). Also 23 prefer other (what would that be?). Then in comparison to Freshpair's survey briefs were at the top (same as my poll) 41%, followed by boxerbriefs (27%) and trunks (14%), then boxers and then thongs were in last. I was a bit surprised that briefs were favored by far in both surveys. I was not too surprised about boxerbriefs being in second and third. I was surprised about the huge difference in thongs in both surveys. Well just goes to show, you never really know what your guy friends are wearing underneath until you ask (or they show).

Poll:
What do you think of the results? Are they similar or different to wha t you would have predicted?

Nice sample size for your poll! Although I didn't take part in your poll, the top three selections match up with my drawer quite well. No pun intended.

I love thongs and g-strings, I even tan with a little koala suit. Thongs fit great and leave a hot tanline!

I think your poll needs a further refinement, on the brief's section. In that there are the standard brief with the fly opening, which almost no one uses to take a piss, rather they push down the waist band. The other styled brief is the pouched brief, which gives a gentle good support in an antantomical way, by gentley cupping the sac and allowing the penis to change sizes during the day or night as he is used to doing on his "own free will", so to speak.

Then there are all of these fabric choices: cotton: pima, jersey, combed, combination cotton and lycra, silk and microfiber, just to name a few.

As far as the category other is concerned, there is the Japanese Fondushi,and the thong, the jock, the codpiece, the sock ( here I am thinking that is all that the band the "Red Hot Chili Peppers" wore frequently in their practice sessions and even on stage!) perhaps a swim suit or gym shorts, I see this combination frequently with guys from fraternity houses walking down the street or biking or roller skating to classes.

Thank you for your input, anonymous. However, thongs and jockstraps both are options in MY poll. Also the poll is about STYLE, NOT fabric or fly opening. Fly openings are not considered style, they are cosnidered (By me) to be a variation on the style. Because the fly openings that you mentioned can (almost) all be on all the different styles. This poll is NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. It is just about style, and the other options will be done in different polls (coming soon).

Annonymous... Briefs and thongs aren't really out. It depends on the circles that are frequented. In circles wear guys are into fashion and/or underwear briefs and thongs are very in, more briefs than thongs though. Actually in my experience boxers seem to be becoming less popular and the most popular is trunks or boxerbriefs (as a compromise between the two).
