Men's Underwear

The ubiquitous "P-hole" in all mens' underwear (bikini, brief, boxer, bb or long) is to enable peeing without unbuttoning, untucking or pulling down the pants.

But unbuttoning doesn't take that long, guys don't tuck anymore and pulling down is avoided by managing a quickie thrust and scoop maneuver. All men do it.

The hole is a vestige, an antiquated architectural holdover. It's like the four buttons on your suit sleeve. They don't actually do anything anymore. They're just visual indicators.

So let's drop the artifice apparel manufacturers. Losing the P-hole will not confuse the masses. And it will make hundreds of millions of men very happy. It'll be like removing cords from telephones. Does anyone miss those?
