Get Ready for Winter with a Union Suit!

Jockstrap Central has just announced that they have some new union suits from Nasty Pig in stock! While it's not quite cold enough yet for these sexy things, winter will come upon us before you know it. So go stock up now while they're still available!  My favorite part of these suits is that they unbutton all the way down the front, through the crotch and up to the back.  So you can unbutton (and access) various parts without taking the whole thing off!

And seriously boys, these things are sexy are they not?  I'm not usually one for union suits to be honest, but I just want to wear these ones every day this winter!  These union suits are modernized with a tight, sexy fit.  Part of it too is probably these sexy photos from Jockstrap Central featuring hot model Adam Stray. There are some uber sexy (and revealing) pics from this shoot.  Click on the images for the uncensored version! This sexy suit comes in red and black and retails for $109.00 on Jockstrap Central. Though it is rather expensive, I bet you'll get a lot of wear (and fun) out of them.

Functional Forms

Does form follow function? Or does function follow form? This is a question a lot of designers, engineers, and artists debate. Is it more important for something to be aesthetically pleasing, or for it to be supremely functional?

I think that we see a wide range of answers to this question in the underwear world. You have the posing straps, the barely-there items, or the new singlets with the seat cut out - all of which are about aesthetics and not function. (Alright, you might argue about the functionality of the ass-less singlet, but I'm not going there.) On the other hand, you have extremely utilitarian options, like your traditional tighty-whities, or - to take it one step further - the "union suit". Yes, I do own one, and yes, it is very warm and comfy when you have to work outside on frigid winter mornings in the Northland. And then there's the matter of full-cut boxer shorts, which are neither aesthetically pleasing nor functional, at least in my opinion.

Anyhow, right now I'm in my second pair of undies for the day. The first pair - grey cotton 2(x)ist trunks - was more toward the functional side, since I spent the morning driving and doing dirty work. Yes, I'm a country person, and yes, I do dirty jobs sometimes. When I'm doing such work, I choose undies that are comfortable and practical, and generally inexpensive, in case they get wrecked with animal byproduct. And when I'm driving long distances, regardless of whether I'm going to be doing hard work, I choose comfortable pairs. Because really, who wants to sit for hours and hours with a thong chafing in your crack while you drive?

The second pair, black CK hip briefs, is more aesthetically pleasing. It's not the most fancy pair I own, but it's one of my better everyday pairs. If I may say so, I clean up pretty good, and I like my undies to reflect that. Nice clothes should include nice undies.

If you were to look in my drawer, you would find a number of pairs in there for specific occasions/purposes. I have a pair of UnderArmour boxerjocks for race-day running. I have a gym-ready jockstrap from when I used to frequent the gym. I have a few pairs of cheaper undies for when I'm doing outside/dirty work. And I have a few pairs of "special occasion" undies (let the reader understand).

So... do you have specific pairs with specific duties? Are there times when you would wear one pair and definitely not others?
