thank god that (although it wasn't that long ago) when i went through high school the shorts were shorter and required briefs for me. if i were going through high school now and decided to wear some sort of basketball shorts or longer nylon shorts without some support (like boxers), i can't imagine what sort of reaction i would have gotten. even in my home i rarely wear anything with minimal support. i grew up feeling a need to support my large cock, and always wore briefs, or (because it was the late 80's when i was in junior high) started wearing spandex shorts for support. i always bought them a size smaller so i could hold everything very tightly in place. some select times some people thought it was fun to make me wear shorts without support for the humiliation factor, but for me, hanging down the leg is not an option. WAY too obvious.
