My childhood

[NickTwisp]

Thing is that white briefs were still the least expensive underpants to purchase for male teenagers when I was that age in the early 2000's. Our family had financial challenges, so it was not easy to persuade my Mom to buy me the more expensive boxers or boxer-briefs.

You ever take peaks at the other boys?

Yes, definitely did. In fact, we sometimes pulled our pants & underwear down to our knees.

Did you have a favorite friend to get a peak at?

I know when I was that age there were certain friends that I put a bit more effort into trying to get a peak without getting caught in the locker room or at the urinals.

Being treated younger was naturally embarrassing so prob makes a good story too but never really thought of that

My cousins def had boxers before me. I did not get boxers till late 11 or early 12th grade.

So though me and my cousins were “2 years” younger if they had been born a month latter we would have been 3 years apart. But of course I always said 2 it seemed less embarrassing.

…I had the same rules as my younger cousins. […] I always felt like I was treated a lot younger than my age but maybe that’s just cause I was shy.

Treated younger than your age and having to follow same rules as younger cousins / kids is one of my favourite themes in humiliation stories!

Do you happen to know if your cousins ‘graduated’ to boxers before you? Just curious.
My 3 years younger cousin did, while I was still wearing briefs at 15. I remember feeling really jealous and a little embarrassed about it. Felt like he was ‘growing up’ before me

Cost was the primary reason I was kept in briefs also. There was “no need” to pay extra for underwear. According to my mom.

I can think of three or four “favourites” who I was always pleased to get a glimpse of…

As far as fun fantasy fiction is concerned, having these situations happen when they are age appropriate isn't that interesting.
When these changing in public situations happen to a boy of around nine years old there isn't much to entertain most readers.
Now if the same incidents occurred when the boy is 12, or even better 13 years old, then the interest in the story is increased ten fold.
A mom or aunt, or other figure in authority, treating a kid of junior high age the same as if he were much younger...that is a fun read.
This rarely happens in real life. It has to be fictionalized.

It happens rarely, but it does happen. I don't know about his experiences, but mine aren't fictional. I was still treated like that around 13, even 14, which I obviously hated back then.

I also remember something more recent very well—about six years ago. My cousin had a testicular torsion when he was 13 and had to have surgery. After the surgery, my aunt had a brilliant idea so he wouldn’t have to be completely naked from the waist down: she cut holes in the front of his loose boxers lol and made him walk around in front of us like that. "For the wounds to heal better, there must be a flow of fresh air; they can’t be covered," she said. There were like 10 of us there, just visiting for coffee—his sister (only a year younger, so 12) and two other cousins around 10 were also there. He was super embarrassed at the beginning, but then he got used to it around us lmao and was walking like that around the coffee table lmao. Later, all the kids were playing together. She kept him like that for a good week . And I know there were many times he was spanked butt-naked around us, among other things. So yeah, it really happens.

I’ve also witnessed such things with random people, even in Germany in 2025. For example, I was at the Baltic Sea once, and a family with two kids—a boy and a girl, both around 12–13—sat next to me. The girl changed fully covered with a towel, but the mom just told the boy to quickly take off his underwear. She said something to him that translates to "We've all seen it before" or "You have nothing to hide," and she pulled them off herself. He didn’t even try to cover up—I heard and saw the whole thing. And after swimming, when he came back, he just took swimshorts off himself without being asked. But to be fair, nudity in Germany really isn’t that big of a deal.

I was super shy but also very obedient. so I went in did what I. GS to do and was pretty focused on what I was doing and don’t think I looked at orpaid attention to what others were doing.

I feel like I fell into that category as a boy also -- super shy and very obedient. I wonder if that's a fairly common combination that leads to where we are.

That’s exactly it—the same goes for me. I was very well-mannered, never causing any problems, but also very shy on the other hand (I had my reasons, you know). I would protest once or twice and then do as I was told. Also, my dad is a soldier, so I was raised very strictly—you can imagine.

I think the white briefs theme was a popular thing in the UK? Or where are you from? Cause we didn’t have that—we wore briefs, but all kinds of colours and patterns. Though I remember one classmate (15 y/o) who wore white briefs with just one small banana printed right over the front, directly over his genitals lmao. But he was one of the coolest kids and would joke about it himself. Also, his real banana was definitely not small lol. If I’d worn those, I probably would’ve been bullied for it.

I remember when I was in college, 18 or 19 years old. I visited my parents and we went shopping together—they were financing me back then since I was studying. I’ll never forget this: we walked into the first store and my mom said to the sales assistant, "We’re looking for t-shirts, trousers, and underpants in a boy’s size." I was like, "What, Mom? No—I wear clothes for men now" lol. My dad and that sales lady just smirked. My mom apologized afterward and said she keeps forgetting herself, we grow up so fast, etc. But yeah, that was embarrassing as hell.

I was age 12-13 range when my Mom let me transition over to boxer-briefs. For a while I had both kinds so kind of alternated. I even was occasionally teased, ie. "Oh Nicky still wears little boys underpants." Underwear shopping with Mom was definitely uncomfortable. By the time I was in high school I did my own clothes shopping.

Yeah, I also did my clothes shopping on my own in high school. It's just that on that particular day we all went to the mall together because it was shortly before Christmas, and we all needed a lot of stuff.

I remember the first boxer-briefs I got were a gift from my cousin for my 13th birthday.

My older brother switched to boxer shorts when he was 11 years old, but I stayed in briefs until my mum stopped buying my underwear. I'm pretty sure my mum did that so we didn't get mine and my brother's underwear mixed up. Now that I'm older and buy my own underwear, I do prefer to wear pants/briefs – I find boxers uncomfortable
