106 Dessous

The history of male underwear is unexpectedly short. Male underpants are mentioned in a trusted document first in the late 18^th century. Undershirts are existing a few decades longer. Describing them as »sexy« would be a rude overstating. They were worn under the outerwear only and were hidden to extrinsic glances. Thus the shapes and colours were plain until boring. The term »passion killer« describes their erotic effect appropriately.

From the late 60^th of the past century underwear slipped into the focus literally with enhancing sex education and shorter and shorter skirts. This development lead to a ballooning evolution of (mainly female) underwear. Male underwear is limited down to the present day into a couple of styles: The slip (brief), boxer and boxer brief, cycle shorts and the jock-strap.

The latter (with a protective hard inlay) originates from US highschool sport and will be worn over the normal underwear. Just in the gay scene it will be worn skintight (and butt enhancing).

Underwear from leather is something special. Its available in manyfold styles - from a plain brief until complicated constructions for the BDSM scene. Whilst a boxer short is seen widely on the beach, during a cross country run or in the gym the other styles are more designed for your bedroom or special clubs. Leather underwear is commonly seen as fetish, not as underwear.

Let the people just think so. They'll never ever experience the unique feeling of pure, soft, unlined leather on naked skin!
