Going Commando can be a really liberating feeling; your “man bits” can finally breathe, they have absolute freedom. It’s easy to see why so many guys want to feel that freedom all the time.
(I always picture a man doing the helicopter motion with his penis. I know every lady reading this knows exactly the motion I’m talking about, the one he does when he gets out of the shower.)
No one wants to feel restricted and confined. There isn’t any medical reason that states you need underwear for support, allowing your testicles and penis to bounce around is as natural as anything.
Why Not Strip Off Those Undergarments?
Release yourself from the confines of your cotton poly blends!—But you might want to first read the following and consider all the information:
Without that soft layer of underwear, you are left without any protection between the outer layer of your soft skin, the delicacy that is your manhood, and the harsh raw fabrics of your outerwear. This raw and rough material can cause some real uncomfortable skin irritations and even rashes. Not to mention, if you have just done some “man-scaping”, the chafing can be a real pain with rough scratchy materials rubbing against it!
If going commando is a must for you, a few simple suggestions would be; Try applying a thin layer of baby powder or petroleum jelly to your groin area. It will help to minimise the friction from the outer layer of clothes on your most delicate body parts.
Skinny Jeans and tapered pants like the ones from Calvin Klein, particularly those made from heavier fabrics like denim, may cut into your crotch when you sit down. To make matters worse (or better, depending on how you like it), if your fabric isn’t thick enough, or if you’re wearing too light a colour. You will be giving everyone an eyeful of VPL (Visible Penis Lines). To mask these outlines or bulges, wearing wool or heavier cotton pants will mask these visible outlines or VPL.
Wash Your Pants A Few Times Before Going Commando
If you are like most people who normally wear your pants a few or more times between washing them. Going commando will mean a wash is almost necessary after each wear. When fabric sits directly next to your skin, it makes your pants dirtier obviously. They also get smellier, faster. All the skin cells and body fluids attach themselves to the material they touch.
You could wear dry-clean-only fabrics like wool. Pants that are made from heavier, thicker fabrics can usually last longer between washes than lighter, thinner pants due to the make and construction. This, however, will get very pricey!
When you don’t have that extra layer of fabric to absorb moisture around your crotch as underwear does, you will end up with nasty sweat stains; these stains are more visible on lighter fabrics and colours. Trust, you don’t want to be walking down the street with these stains, no matter how much you like attention, not this kind.
Be Warned About Jock itch
I personally think this would be the worst of the outcomes of not wearing underwear. Jock Itch can be a very real and serious skin condition that presents as an itchy, red, ring-shaped rash. This is a rash that occurs when you’re exposed to the fungus. The particular fungi that cause “Jock Itch” live in warm, humid environments just like the inside of your pants after your testicles have been sweating all over them.
To fight off this fungus, try to keep your boys dry with just a sprinkle of baby powder or talc in the morning. Regularly wash your pants with a chafing or jock itch prevention. You’ll want to sprinkle a dash of baby powder or straight talc on your privates. This will absorb moisture so stains won’t form.
If you do see stains form on your pants, a great trick to removed them is to rub a teaspoon of dish detergent mixed with two teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide into the stained area; Then wash the garment as you normally do in cool water with your regular detergent.
So this might be obvious, or perhaps not? Don’t try on new pants while you are going commando. Some of the faecal bacteria or even the fungi that we have just mentioned you could be carrying can transfer onto the fabrics. In turn, you would be passing these onto anyone else trying on these pants.
So What’s My Advice?
Go Commando at home in comfy soft breathable materials and enjoy. Come home in the evening and put your favourite jogging pants on and relax. When it comes to going out during everyday life, throw on a pair of your favourite underwear and remember safety first. I just can’t see any real benefits to going commando, even though I might enjoy the sight of those who do.
There are just too many situations that can be avoided by wearing a pair of underwear.

Best Active Date Ideas to get your heart racing in Sydney
Gone are the days where you would take a girl to the cinema, or to the carnival, or wait at the front with the door open ready to be her knight in shining armour. These days most people settle for Netflix and Chill, or drive through at McDonalds for a Mcflurry. This generally leads to back seat sex after (Not speaking from experience).
I prefer apple crumbles and my Mazda 3 as the backseat is cramped. As we grow and mature and evolve, we tend to realise the typical sort of dates are yes, nice. However, they don’t stimulate us as much as what they should.
My grand scheme is to take a girl out on an active date so it can highlight two things –
- You’re not just trying to get her to your bed, you have some substance to yu.
- You do like to take care of yourself.
The thing is as well, when you are doing exercise or an active activity with someone, it keeps things easy. If there is an awkward silence, people have a tendency to talk when they walk, so this allows for a smoother conversation. Instead of sitting there at the dinner table in awkward silence. Having an active date also gets your blood flowing, allowing your brain to release endorphins which stimulates the release of sex hormones.
Active Dates Are Easier Than Intimate Ones
The best way to initiate an active date is just being honest. Give your date some options on what they would like to do. Keep in mind, you don’t know them that well so they might have health conditions, or be scared of heights, or might not be interested in an active date.
Maybe they just want to go to your house and get naked (Cheering).
Below I have given a couple of great active date ideas for Sydney, Australia. However, you can use these sort of ideas and adapt them to your home place of living! Take it from a consultant from the Adult Lifestyle Centre.
Walking the Bondi to Bronte Coastal Walk:
The Bondi To Bronte Coastal Walk is one of the nicest and most scenic coastal walks that Sydney has to offer. Normal taking 1.5 hours to complete at a nice pace, and has a few incline and decline slopes to get your legs really working. Take the time to enjoy the scenery, while you sit and pick your date apart about their likes, interests and hobbies.
Sublime Point:
I am an absolute sucker for a good view, especially if you have to climb close to 1000 steps at a 75 degree incline to get there in the middle of nature. The great thing about this track is that it will definitely get you and your dates heart rate going, and like every great date (always ending with a bang) the view won’t disappoint. The top of the point overlooks the whole of Wollongong, with you being able to see the whole coast and out to the ocean!
Hire A Boat At The Audley Boatshed;
Royal National Park: Now this is for those who want to be a little bit of a cheese ball. The good old row boat around the lake is the ultimate if you want to show your more sensitive side. Make sure she isn’t scared of water or confined spaces or that will blow the whole idea out of the water (excuse the pun) and I’m sure she doesn’t want to role play the Titanic.
Some tips for an active date which some people might forget:
WEAR DEODORANT:
Nothing is worse than going on a 1.5 hour hike with someone who stinks of bad BO. If you know that you sweat, firstly be sure to wear a black t-shirt because the marks won’t show as much as a grey or coloured top. Secondly, be sure to use a great antiperspirant. No one likes someone who stinks, especially if it’s on the first date because they will picture you stinking all through sex.
Take two bottles of water;
One for you and one for your date: You want to be seen as chivalrous and a gentleman. Although this is a small detail, trust me, this will get you big brownie points.
Wear a nice pair of trainers:
No matter the woman, they always look at the feet up. So be sure to wear a nice pair of trainers that don’t have holes in them (because you wear them to CrossFit) or are overly dirty. Remember, you are still on a date so you have to be presentable. While you are at it, make sure you don’t go overboard and wear matching everything like you belong on a fitness show. Keep it cool smart. Nice walking shorts, nice trainers and a plain t-shirt.
I’ve had some of the best fun on active dates and also the after party that generally happens. Do not underestimate how good a well executed active date can do for you in the long run.
Who knows you may even fall in love!
