Zipper and/or button fly is uncomfortable. Same argument goes for boxers that have the button.

Also rolling around in bed sucks in boxers cause they don't stretch as easy

Can confirm testicular hernias are something that doctors never seem to look for. Mine wasn't discovered until I went to the doctors with weird abdominal pain and I learned the reason my balls would look bigger on some days than others was because that was my intestines in my scrotum.

American sex ed everyone.

Inguinal hernias are actually really common, lifetime risk is like 30%

if things really go bad and it strangulates the bowel you can die from it too

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inguinal_hernia

quote:

Hernias present as bulges in the groin area that can become more prominent when coughing, straining, or standing up. They are rarely painful, and the bulge commonly disappears on lying down. The inability to "reduce", or place the bulge back into the abdomen usually means the hernia is 'incarcerated' which requires emergency surgery.

Significant pain is suggestive of strangulated bowel (an incarcerated indirect inguinal hernia).

As the hernia progresses, contents of the abdominal cavity, such as the intestines, can descend into the hernia and run the risk of being pinched within the hernia, causing an intestinal obstruction. If the blood supply of the portion of the intestine caught in the hernia is compromised, the hernia is deemed "strangulated" and gut ischemia and gangrene can result, with potentially fatal consequences. The timing of complications is not predictable. Emergency surgery for incarceration and strangulation carry much higher risk than planned, "elective" procedures. However, the risk of incarceration is low, evaluated at 0.2% per year.[2] On the other hand, surgical intervention has a significant risk of causing inguinodynia, and this is why minimally symptomatic patients are advised to watchful waiting.
