Fabric Faux Pas.

It seems like most of the United States has had unseasonably high
temperatures lately. Granted, we're now officially in summer, but the
end of spring felt more like mid-summer than early to mid-June.

I was walking with a good friend of mine outside in the heat. It may
have been the hottest day since the previous summer. I was sweating. I
was REALLY sweating. And of course, I begin to think about my
underwear. I began to think about just how sweaty I was down there,
and whether my choice of underwear that day was a reflection of just
how sweaty I was getting.

I don't remember at this point what I was wearing that day, but I do
know that I wasn't sure it was the most breathable, coolest fabric and
style that I could be wearing.

So what is the most comfortable, breathable, coolest underwear you can
wear for the sweaty guy? I'm thinking it's probably certain kinds of
knit boxers, maybe? A cotton thong might collect sweat well, but I'm
not sure I'd want a sweaty thong on.

Is a bikini better than a full brief? I'm just not sure.

And then, what is the best fabric to wear? I think some people would
venture to say something silky smooth...such as silk. But I think silk
is a VERY warm material, and not good for heat. The same goes for
polyester.

Thoughts?
