Commando

Going commando can be thrilling. There is an element of danger about the practice, especially wearing clothes like dresses or kilts that could potentially expose the genitals if they’re caught by the wind, for example. For some people, going commando may even provide sexual pleasure. It may become a safe form of exhibitionism, as in most cases only the person who goes commando knows they’re wearing less than other people.

Some people may also find going commando is more comfortable for them. Many find underwear restrictive and find going commando feels freeing. Without underwear you won’t have wedgies or the visible panty lines that plague so many women.

Going commando may also have some health benefits. Tight fitting underwear can provide a breeding ground for yeast infections. Going commando can reduce your risk of contracting one of these uncomfortable infections.

However, there can be some downsides. Some apparel may chafe the genitals, especially at the seams. Baby powder or petroleum jelly can reduce chafing. Baby powder can also prevent jock itch and reduce sweat stains.
