    None of the above.

    Everyone, especially guys, should be wearing compression shorts for any sporting activity to help minimize potential injury.

    Taken from Wikipedia:

    "The main benefits of compression shorts are that they keep the muscles warm to prevent muscle strain, chafing and rashes, fatigue, and to wick sweat away from the body. In addition, there is some evidence that compression shorts may enhance athletic performance. [1] They may also be used as a way to keep the male genitalia in place in the same way briefs do."

    Yes, I severly hurt my groin as well as my thigh muscle playing badminton over 2 years ago. I then wore compression shorts and have had absolutely no problems since.

    Of course stretching before and after is essential. This cannot be stressed enough.

    The thread title caught my attention...figured I could use a good laugh. :)
    However, glad that I learned about compression shorts.
    Don't own one, but that could very likely change by tomorrow.

    a guy played wearing boxers under his shorts, got his testicles twisted inside the scrotum and needed emergency operation. this is not a joke, do not do any athletic activities in boxer shorts!

    You try those swimwear, with the netting. It's sports shorts with netting and it's polyester/nylon material, so it absorbs the sweat off of your skin.
