Underpants

Yesterday I decided it was time to invest in some new underwear. It then occurred to me that I haven't actually bought my own unmentionables in at least ten years, to the point where I had to check the size. How is this possible for a grown man? Well, in every relationship I've had, my girlfriend at the time has always bought them for me. In the small gaps between I have enough to tide me over until the next girl picks up the mantle. I've never asked for the manty of the month service it has just always been the case. 

 

I'm not sure if the girl of the moment realizes that my ex made all those purchases, or if they actually enjoy it. Maybe they're just observant and realize that I never take it upon myself to freshen up my stock (I'm a clean guy, but I will wear something 'till it falls apart). There's not really ever been a discussion or even a decision on the matter. I always appreciate it, and just figure she'll pick out what she prefers me to wear. The last girl bought me boxer briefs, I've never worn those before. The girl before her bought me wacky boxers usually of the Halloween persuasion, not of the Tweety Bird variety! I do have taste. I would also have to decline anything that comes in a tube. 

I now find myself alone in the world and it seems I have to fend for myself. I went with classic black boxer briefs. They're comfortable enough, and I think its a safe choice for any no-pants-parties I may encounter.

 

Now I'm trying to decide if I should throw out all the old ones. They represent times that have passed, when someone made the effort to do something nice for me. Is it disrespectful to future ladies to wear something my ex wife purchased 5 years ago, probably while giggling to herself about how ridiculous the coffins and skulls are on her newest find?
