The Great Underwear Debate

Pros and cons of going commando.

The Great Underwear Debate

People tend to think that not wearing underwear is a strictly male thing to do. it is implied that girls who do it are sluts. This actually isn’t true. I recently conducted a poll in which the results were shocking.

Only 4 four out 25 guys have admitted to going commando. 2 of those 4 say that its only on occasion. On the other hand, 18 out of 25 girls admitted not wearing underwear. 15 of those do it from time to time.

The main reason for doing it is overall comfort. Women are usually concerned with the after shaving stubble where men are concerned with air circulation and reducing heat down there. Other great reasons for not wearing underwear are to prevent outfit malfunctions (visible lines) and to “spark the moment” with a partner.

There are major cons to this type of outfit choice. We wear underwear to prevent us from getting all types of infections and parasites, like lice. Once we take away that line of defense, we leave ourselves vulnerable. One con that people do not think about is not being able to change after having any sort of accident.

Now let’s talk about the places where it’s acceptable.

This is generally up to the particular person and their comfort level. Many things come into play, what you are wearing, where you work, what errands you need to run, how old you are, etc. Another concern for women would be whether they are on their period or not.

Recently I’ve been experimenting with this. It all started with one day I overslept and was running late for work. My job does not have a required uniform so I jumped out of bed, threw on pants, and went to work in the shirt I slept in. I haven’t been doing much recently besides going to work. The weather hasn’t been great so I have been wearing jeans. I don’t think I would be comfortable going to work without underwear on underneath a skirt or dress. Just going out to the mail box is one thing, but waiting tables is a whole other story.

Now of course, this subject doesn’t just apply to going on in public, but bedtime as well. What people do in their bedrooms is their business and no one else’s, so we won’t get into that.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
