Wearing underwear is not necessary.

Aw, come on... underwear is totally necessary. Underwear is equivalent to undergarments. Undergarments are, according to Wikipedia: "Undergarments are clothes worn under other clothes, often directly next to the skin, but may comprise more than one layer. They keep outer garments from being soiled by bodily secretions and discharges, shape the body, and provide support for parts of it. In cold weather, long underwear is sometimes worn to provide additional warmth. Special types of undergarments have religious significance. Some items of clothing are designed as undergarments, while others, such as T-shirts and certain types of shorts, are appropriate both as undergarments and as outer clothing. If made of suitable material, some undergarments can serve as nightwear or swimsuits, and some are intended for erotic effect." Wikipedia explains that "Undergarments are generally of two types, those that are worn to cover the torso and those that are worn to cover the waist and legs, though garments which cover both also are available. Different styles of undergarments are generally worn by women and men. Undergarments commonly worn by women today include brassieres and panties (known in the United Kingdom as knickers), while men often wear briefs or boxers. Items commonly worn by both sexes include T-shirts, sleeveless shirts (also called singlets or tank tops), bikini underwear, thongs, and G-strings." Various religions have special undergarments: For example, (1) Judaism. "To conform with societal dress codes, the tallit katan is often worn beneath the shirt." (2) Mormonism. "Following their endowment in a temple, Mormons wear special temple garments which help them to remember the teachings of the temple." (3) Sikhism. "One of the five articles of faith (panj kakaar) worn by Sikh men and women is a certain style of underpants similar to boxer shorts and known as the kachera." (4) Zoroastrianism. "Zoroastrians wear an undershirt called a Sedreh that is fastened with a sacred girdle around the waist known as a Kushti." Underwear comes in various kinds for men and women: Both men and women wear bikinis, g-strings and thongs which some regard as partircurlarly attractive. For purposes of this debate, I will reserve judgement -other than to say that briefs and boxer briefs are what I'm especially fond of seeing guys wear. Women's underwear is totally boring so I'm going to skip that. Just kidding. I know not everyone is gay... So, let's go garment by garment. Bikinis - women, old gay men and creepily over muscled male body builders wear these. I guess they're ok on women, if you're into that sort of thing. They look unnatural on men though. I don't care who you are. No man should ever wear a bikini. It's a reflection of steroid use or perversion. Some underwear may be necessary, but not this. Although if you're a girl on a beach, you've got to have something! Bikini's seem to be the garment of choice, and to avoid arrest for public indecency in most beaches in America, bikini's are therefore necessary. America, land of the prudes. G-strings - women, creepy gay men and transvestites might wear these. I guess if you were born a dude and it didn't feel right, this would be a good stepping stone to make the transition to more effeminate underwear like thongs... although they make those for men too. These might not be necessary, for anyone... ever. Unless you're a stripper, and your career literally depends on your ability to shake (and I assume perform other bodily maneuvers to amass tips) one's money maker. For those people, g strings are totally necessary. I say 'people' because go-go boys dress in g-strings at gay bars too. Thongs - I remember in high school, when girls thongs used to rise up over their waistbands guys would go wild over them. I never saw the attraction, but I guess some people get off to that? Straight guys are so pervvy. I can't imagine how a thong is comfortable, or why on earth anyone would ever want to wear one... but maybe do drive those pervvy boys wild? Omg if bsh1 and I ever have a daughter, I don't know what we're going to do. I can tell all of you right now that he'll be the one having that conversation. #awkward. Clearly, to the extent that girls want to drive pervvy boys crazy thongs are necessary. Long underwear - intended to insulate the body from cold in those winter months. It is also cute when guys wear long underwear in the winter, but I digress. I live in a place where it snows, a lot, in the winter. The wind blows, and baby it gets cold outside! *That song from that movie plays* Unless you want to freeze, wearing long underwear is necessary. I've even done it under a suit. #noshame. Women's underwear: (boring) I'd be remise if I didn't mention this, but if women don't wear bras, their breasts will sag over time. Some people claim that that's not the case, and they are liars. Boy shorts are fairly enigmatic in the regime of women's underwear, because no boy (well, unless he was into wearing women's underwear - which I understand from my human sexuality class in college that many heterosexual guys are) would ever wear them, unless he's got a fetish for that sort of thing. So, they're sort of necessary in that limited case. Panties are like the ultimate 'girly' underwear which means that they are the least interesting to me. I have nothing more to say. They're necessary for hygiene reasons, if you care about that sort of thing. Men's underwear: FINALLY! Boxer briefs are pretty much the sexiest kind of underwear out there for guys, other than briefs, of course. Skin tight is what counts, after all. Revealing, but not too revealing. Some men buy underwear made of synthetic material. I don't understand this, because it doesn't breathe properly. Cotton is the way to go, and cotton is also more hygienic. Cotton boxer briefs or briefs are necessary because I said so. That's right. I say so. Totally sufficient reason there. Boxer shorts are probably the more conventional kind of underwear for guys, because they're about as close to free-balling as you can get without free balling. They're comfortable in the summer, but that's it. In the winder, when the wind blows right through you... you don't want that wind to blow through your underwear too... and many guys who wear boxers are hot, but they're just not scandalous enough. If, however, you want conservative underwear that's not skin tight, then these are totally necessary. I'll get into more specific kinds of underwear and why they're necessary in the next round...
