Hi all, this might seem a very niche question:)
Is anyone here old enough to have worn the old nylon Y fronts back in the 1970s/80s?
I'm thinking the old patterned ones, or do you remember the light blue ones with darker blue piping - things like that.
And if you did wear them, did you ever have a proper desperation experience, or see a mate in a bad situation?

Re: Y fronts and desperation
Yes. I wore them until I was about 20-22 just before they became desperately unfashionable. Had a desperate experience during a university exam, only just made it to the end, and was probably wearing Y fronts at the time. Saw a few other guys desperate in university exams too, notably this sighting (first posting in that thread). That one was in 1985 and that guy might possibly have been wearing Y fronts.

Re: Y fronts and desperation
I wore white cotton Y-fronts, never nylon or patterned. But then, I've never been fashionable.

Re: Y fronts and desperation
The fascinating thing is that so many guys, myself included, start scissoring our legs - but I've never worked out if this actually helps?

Re: Y fronts and desperation
Perhaps the scissoring exerts pressure on the urethra, something like a repeated squeezing of the head of the p*nis which seems to reinforce the sphincters. A really full bladder also can make one restless, constantly moving the legs.

Re: Y fronts and desperation
Can anyone post a few example pictures of y-fronts? I've never heard the term before

Re: Y fronts and desperation
It's so confusing, different terminology across the world lol.
To me "briefs" make me think of ,Tangas, now massively unfashionable. But equally Boxers has come to mean Boxer Briefs rather than the cotton shorts that originated in the US
If I'm in the car I find scissoring helps massively lol
