If you don’t, then as you age, your scrotum stretches out, and your balls start hanging low. Men often first realize it when they sit on the toilet, and the boys take a dip in the pool. Testicle tucks are one of the most popular plastic surgeries.
Keeping them held snug against the body over a lifetime, reduces sagging near the end.
Been wearing some type of snug undies my whole life. I’m almost 50 and my boys are high and tight.
Boxers are just puzzling to me. I wore them a few times and they were so big and baggy, they were all tangled up inside my pants. Like wearing a pair of gym shorts under regular shorts. No support, not comfortable, nuts stuck to thigh, what the hell is the point?

I realized it when I sat down in a chair and sat on my balls. Ow my balls.
Is it uncomfortable when they move? I don’t have big boobs but I always wear a bra because I don’t like the sensation of them swinging when I walk around.
Normal movement for me: I’m not really cognizant of them.
It really matters what the climate is, though. Colder weather/neutral weather: not as uncomfy, because they tend to shrink up closer to your body. Warmer weather, especially if you’re getting sweaty in high humidity: yeah, they could stick to your leg or something. Gotta make sure not to sit on them. Man-spreading can help here when sitting down, or taking a wide step off center/stretching in a lunge (lol).
One time, in the pharmacy, I got this pain in them as I was walking around. Turns out that my right testicle had twisted around in it’s sack (testicular torsion). I had to spin it in the other direction once I got to a private place to relieve the pressure. Was almost doubling over in pain because it felt like a little vice was starting to crush them more every time I took a step. No fun.
TMI? Sorry.

Interestingly, this was thought to be the case for breasts, as well, but up to a certain size (at which point support becomes necessary) its best to leave them be other than specific activities like exercise, because it forces muscles and skin to tighten to support them which keeps them from sagging longer. It’ll still happen, of course, either way.
