Go Commando!

Definition/Description:

Commando: textile (clothes wearing) but without any underwear covering the genitalia – whatsoever! Synonymous with “underwear free.” The person decides to wear pants, shorts, kilt, or any other style of waist garment and deliberately determines that boxers, briefs, bikini, thong, jock strap or any underwear is not necessary!

Jeans: some people view the wearing of jeans/denim as automatic mandatory or obligatory commando. Others view the wearing of jeans/denim as the same with any other type of pants or shorts. To be commando or not is a separate individual decision.

Inspiration?

What was the reason that the first persons who decided to abandon the practice of wearing underwear actually began not wearing the garment? Will we ever uncover the inspiration and motivation for that decision? Would knowledge of the circumstances of that particular situation have any impact on our lives today?

The reasoning for discarding underwear perhaps enhances a person’s polite interaction skills. It may create an opportunity for a classroom lecture or a topic for an organized debate but otherwise, unimportant information.

A Possibility:

Unless, of course, you were having an extramarital relationship with another and accidentally left your underwear after a tryst in their bedroom! Their spouse discovered your forgotten garment and determined it to be your property.

You are confronted over your transgressions! Embarrassed? Humiliated? Mortified? All the previous reactions? Yes! What happens next? You dispose of all your underwear and make a solemn promise to yourself to never wear underwear ever again!

You don’t intend to eliminate illicit relationships. You’re simply reducing the chances of discovery of evidence of your involvement! Life goes on and you plan to both live and to enjoy yours!

Reality:

The actual true reasoning for discontinuing underwear is probably not as dramatic and as suspenseful as the Possibility option above. However, that predicament is not exceptional nor unusual. Mankind is notorious for stupidity! It is an integral part of our DNA! Often in our haste to avoid being caught in a compromising moment we tend to neglect an important detail!

There are other less complicated excuses for dropping underwear from our “must do” listings. Convenience is the timing factor. Subtract the underwear, there is one less garment to remove! Easier and simpler to do and to monitor!

Definition:

Commando: a colloquial term that refers to the absence of any type of underwear, especially covering the male genitalia anatomy. No styles such as boxers, briefs, bikinis, thongs, jockstraps, pouches or any other type of undergarment. The use of the term predominates in western cultures and the practice has varied in popularity and usage in the aftermath of World War II.

Same Gender Love (SGL) influence:

The practice of “going commando” (intentionally) gained rapidly among the emerging bisexual and gay communities following the Stonewall Inn riots (SIR) in June, 1969, in New York City, USA. The rising sexual freedoms movement after SIR increased the need to rapidly remove clothing in order to expedite sexual satisfaction.

Both advocates and detractors of same gender love (SGL) culture have assigned credit/fault for the commando influence on the fluctuation of SGL impact in fashion. Bisexual and gay styles varied from season to season based on social need and not necessarily on comfort.

Nakedness influence:

Very little attention is provided on the effects and/or influences from the increasing naturist/nudist culture and the commando movement. Among the reasoning for this indifference is the obvious fact that within the world of nakedness, either you wear clothes or you don’t. The result is very little concern for cause and effect.

A newsworthy event?

Commando: a newsworthy event? Underwear freedom? A major scandal? Does anyone even care? These and countless other questions related to the topic of commando and the underwear fashion scene is not really appealing or of major interest. A few noted exceptions maybe but generally, there is very little major concern on the significance of underwear and men’s fashion.

Once again the question: does anyone really care if someone is or is not commando? Probably not! Unless perhaps we’re referring to a bare celebrity – then the gossip and the speculation increases the attention.

At this time, we (Aaron and I) feel inspired to remind all that we both commend, endorse, and support both the commando fashion style – lifestyle – as well as every bare practitioner’s prerogative and privilege in making that determination individually. It is a personal choice and we both respect that fact.

A repeat of what we’ve noted in the past. Many of our community and culture engage the commando option in preparation for the spring and summer seasons. Also, there are those who are interested in nakedness who use this option to acclimate themselves to the concept of living clothes free.

As for Aaron and myself, we both acknowledge and admit to being very active participants in “going commando” – especially when wearing jeans! A very time-tested practice that is both comfortable and comforting!

One of the benefits of the commando style this time of the year is that fleece sweat-pants are very popular and also provide comfort for wearers! The fleece style is now beginning to match the denim jeans in popularity among younger users.

Commando for a cause: same-gender love, confidence, and pride! Patriotic stripes adorning the above penis leave no room for doubting where his allegiance lies! Another bold reason for the growing popularity of the commando lifestyle among all ages!

Naked hugs!
