For a moment, let’s put aside the boxers/briefs/jockstraps/thongs debate and just appreciate underwear in general. Many Reddit users say it’s sexier to see a guy in his skivvies than to see him nude.
“Why are men in their underwear hotter than just fully nude men?” asked one r/askgaybros user recently. “Is this just a me thing?”
Well, no, it’s not just a him thing.
How about we take this to the next level?

Other gay Reddit users gave the TL;DR version. “Anticipation,” one wrote, offering shades of Rocky Horror.
“And imagination,” another added.

Quiz: Can we guess what kind of underwear you’re wearing?
Underwear is (or should be) a crucial part of any guy’s wardrobe.
“Exactly,” a third person wrote. “If you think about it, pleasure is doing what you want. And it is through desire that we get anticipation. We see someone and desire that person. So you see someone in underwear and desire him. But once the underwear is removed, that desire is sort of satisfied.”
Other users compared the experience to unwrapping presents or watching unboxing videos.
One commenter offered another take, pointing out that “many of our gay awakenings started in the underwear aisle.”
Another commenter quipped, “It wasn’t even my awakening. It was my confirmation.”

I find a covered man attractive because of the anticipation of what’s underneath the cloth. The surprise when it “pops out of the box”, but the best part is tossing his underwear aside and enjoying what’s inside.
