Why The Fly

 

For some reason, I am being inundated with ads for underwear. The number of new designs with actual anatomical pouches is wonderful. They really provide the necessary room for the goods.





No more being squished and crammed in. 

But I wonder about the large number of them again incorporating the "fly" opening. I really thought those had gone the way of the Dodo.

Back in the day --- when choices were boxers or tightey-whitey briefs --- I never used the "fly." I'd hook a thumb into the elastic waistband and yank the front down. So much easier, so much faster. So less frustrating. And, sure, I could do the same with these new designs.





That is, if I wore underwear.



But why do we need the extra seams chafing and adding irritation to the shaft?


Not to mention having to fish the cock out 


and negotiate stuffing it back in.


So, why the fly?
Does anyone actually use the fly opening in their briefs anymore when taking a leak?

to tell the true, I never used!

I've never used that fly. Too much work.

I personally hate the fly opening. But even though I go commando at times and enjoy it, I'm an underwear Junkie. I find underwear extremely sexy and hot on me and other guys. Most of the underwear I wear feels like you're not wearing anyhow. But I've always preferred square cut style or is it classic tiny Whitey Style.

Wait, I was convinced the fly was there to facilitate access to the dick? I don't use it when I'm wearing tighty whities but I do when I'm wearing boxer briefs or better, boxers. The thing is, I only wear boxers with baggy pants because when I wear skinny pants I wear tighty whities, a jockstrap or boxer briefs (bb sometimes bunch up or are visible under tight jeans, btw).
I like men who do not wear underwear because I think a VPL is hot, but I think it could be uncomfortable if one has a lot of... bounce?

XOXO

Never use the fly in my underwear. I hook the elastic waistband under my balls. At home I don't wear underwear or pants.

I like to see underwear with a partial seam in the back that goes in the crack and hugs the buns making them more promenade. Am an ass man myself. I can't see mine, but enjoy my other half's.

Guess wearing underwear is like wrapping a present, the anticipation that one can hardly wait to unwrap the present and get to the gift.

I've never used a fly (when my underwear had one). These days, I usually wear jockstraps or jocks I've tailored into thongs. Pouch for the goodies, and I like the massage a thong gives me.

Treats attract flies, but it never occurred to me not to use the zippers.

Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.
Have a great day.

I don't buy pouch underwear with a fly. It defeats the purpose. The fly, for me at least, changes the way the "goods" fit. I happen to be well endowed. Don't mess with my pouch.

@ Maddie - I think you're referring to trunk style briefs. When I wore briefs they were my go-to - with a decent pouch for the goods, of course.

whkattk said...

@ Six - I've got boxer briefs with button fly I sometimes wear around the house (if my balls get cold). If they have a longer (6") inseam, the legs won't ride up under pants. XOXO

whkattk said...

@ Hooter - Under the balls: Yep. That what I used to do too. To Let things air out a bit.

whkattk said...

@ MFP - Your briefs have zippers??? Hugs and bisous.

whkattk said...

@ Anon - I hear ya... Finding a pouch large enough was a real issue for me. I can't tell you how many different ones I bought in my desperate search for a real pouch with enough room for me.

So, I agree about the underwear, but then slide into a pair of skinny jeans and... squash city. I frequently have to reach in and totally uphaul my junk or it all gets tucked up underneath me. It's awful... but not a bad problem to have, now that I think of it. :) Kizzes.

JeanWM said...

Interesting. Isn't underwear meant to protect your clothes? I guess if you only wear everything once and throw it the laundry, it can't make any difference. But if you wear nice pants that you want to wear again, underwear at least keeps them clean, everyone has their good and bad days. I know I'm sounding practical.

Wasn't the fly on underwear, briefs/boxers, meant to match the fly on your pants? Maybe a lot of pants these days don't have flies either.

Hugs and bisous.

I wear shorts most of the time and I just roll up the leg when peeing. The problem with the fly is a boner sticking out of your briefs fly. I know my grand dad used to wear the tighty whites with fly inside-out because he was left handed.

Agree entirely with you. I have not worn underwear with a fly for decades and have always hooked the waist elastic under my balls, even when occasionally I have been bought underwear with a fly. Main criteria is that I like tighty whities and that they have a decent pouch.

I think we should introduce the modern equivalent of the Papuan "penis gourd" or the Elizabethan codpiece to give the equipment room to expand as it will without alerting outsiders to its state.

fullmoonma said...

Most of my boxer briefs have flies. I find them useful when I'm at a public restroom wearing tight jeans, also when I'm bating and don't want to get the oil on to the upholstery. Yes, it is a chore to fish out my long cock!

Anonymous said...

Never used the fly on the old white tighty whities.

Got a new pair of briefs that has a pouch and the redesigned fly does work. Much easier to get my dick out and back in.

Now if we could get shorts and jeans with a longer zipper, we would be set.

I prefer briefs with a horizontal fly....so easy to use and comfortable.

whkattk said...

@ Jean - The fly on briefs is typically placed to the right side of the pouch with overlapping material. Two more seams to irritate. I'd say denim is the only material which might be okay to go without washing daily. That's why I wore briefs when I worked in an office. Hugs and bisous.

whkattk said...

@ Anon, November 4, 2022 at 5:47 AM - Longer zippers, yes please. It's why I much prefer my button-up 501s...the opening is longer than anything with a zipper.

whkattk said...

@ Anon, November 4, 2022 at 6:45 AM - I would think those extra seams would still irritate the head of the cock. No???

I find it strenuous to get my cock through the fly in my undies. As I am well endowed, most flys are not comfortable, so I just pull down the whole front of my briefs, tuck it behind my balls and give my balls some airing outside my jeans when peeing. I am always a balls-out-pisser, so need a good, long fly in my jeans too (and open the button of course).

whkattk said...

@ Anon, November 5, 2022 at 2:16 AM - Exactly.... Balls out pissing is important to air the groin. All buttons opened, everything out.

Not me. It's a pain in the ass!! (so to speak)

Jockey makes a underwear with a pouch horizontally opening so no need to pull your underwear down it pops right out. I’ve being using it for years. My other half likes saxx has a built in cup but no opening but gives you a great package.

Loincloth? Though in Lakota we use the same word for briefs.

Cale said...

Missed this thread earlier. When I wear briefs, they’re low rise with front flies, but I just reach in and pull down the waistband, extract penis, and pee away. Haven’t futzed with the flies in more years than I can remember.

Going commando, as I now typically prefer to do at home, makes the whole operation considerably easier.

whkattk said...

@ Cale - I prefer commando all the time. Though there are times when briefs are necessary. I've found the Sepratec to be quite comfortable with the separation of balls and cock into two different pouches. The outer one for the cock lifts up easily.

Cale said...

@whkattk—The one drawback to commando is the precum mess in my sweatpants I have to deal with when I visit this site…

A small price to pay, perhaps.

Did you try saxx underwear that has BallPark Pouch design, Read saxx underwear review before you try.
