Abstract: Disclosed are functional underpants for men for securing air permeability and improving sexual health, the functional underpants comprising: a penis support member (120) including a functional member and means of the functional member and having a double structure comprising an outer cloth (101) and an inner cloth (102);  a scrotum support member (130) having a single structure and being inserted between the outer cloth (101) and the inner cloth (102) of the penis support member (120) having the double structure by sewing;  and a rear member (140) connected to a lower end of the scrotum support member (130) having the single structure and to the left and right sides of the outer cloth (101) of the front portion of the underpants by means of sewing, characterized in that a penis pocket (260) and a scrotum pocket (270) are generated, respectively, due to application of tension and contractile force to the penis support member (120) and the scrotum support member (130) while a wearer wears the functional underpants, by a first bending section (210), a second bending section (230), a third bending section (250), a first curved portion (220), and a second curved portion (240) provided at the penis support member (120), the scrotum support member (130) and the rear member (140), wherein the first bending section (210) is formed by, when an entirety of the penis support member (120) is divided into three segments along a horizontal axis, a first segment from the upper portion of the penis support member (120) being cut in a vertical direction so as to be narrower than the first curved portion (220) which occupies the remaining two segments of the penis support member (120) and has a predetermined curvature and the first segment being connected with the upper end of the remaining two segments by sewing; the second bending section (230) is formed by being cut to have the first curved portion (220) which is connected to the first bending section (210) and has the predetermined curvature such that the remaining two segments of the segmented penis support member (120) form a parabola when being folded in half, and by being connected to an upper end of the scrotum support member (130) by means of sewing; and the third bending section (250) is formed by being cut to have a second curved portion (240) which is connected to the second bending section (230) and has a curvature that is larger than that of the first curved portion (220) of the penis support member (120) and by being connected to a lower end of the scrotum support member (130) and a lower end of the rear member (140) by means of sewing. . The functional underpants include a penis pocket and a scrotum pocket by which the penis region and the scrotum region can be independently and completely separated from each other, so that the functional underpants offer air permeability to the sexual organs and further improve sexual health while interoperating with gravity according to the characteristic of the two testicles having different sizes. Further, the functional underpants do not employ an expensive material or a band which might cause an unpleasant feeling in contrast to conventional underpants, thereby decreasing the number of operational processes and greatly reducing the manufacturing costs.
