There are a couple of practical reasons I prefer a kilt over other clothing, but these are specific to me.

First, my hips are lopsided. When I wear pants, they sit crooked. My right hip (or at least, where my pants end up resting) is lower than the left. So my right pant leg seems longer than my left. But when I wear a kilt up on my natural waist, the problem goes away. This doesn't mean I can't wear pants, but it shows why I prefer a kilt.

But more importantly, a kilt is immensely more comfortable and practical than pants. Let's face it; a man's anatomy was not meant to be bunched up. I don't know what sadist came up with the idea of wearing a garment that intentionally constricts the male anatomy, but I'd like to slap him. It is well known that wearing garments that constrict the male reproductive organs can cause reproductive problems (i.e. low sperm count) as well as sexual (performance) problems. Doctors tell men who are trying to have children to wear boxer shorts at the very least, and find any method to allow their 'equipment' to be like nature intended. Free.

So kilts are a great solution to this. And if you'll notice, almost every culture in the world has clothing that originated without bifurcated legs. Look at the Middle East. What is their traditional clothing? It ain't pants. Look at Africa, India, even the Native American tribes. Most of Europe, too, once wore unbifurcated garments (Romans, Greeks, etc.). They all developed clothing that didn't restrict the male anatomy. So the kilt, while unique, has a lot of precedent around the world in terms of the basic design. It covers one up modestly, while still allowing freedom of movement and no pain.
Another great post.

I'm glad you brought up the point about letting your "stuff" be free. I agree that a kilt can implement it, but this leads me to my next question; say you're young, you have very judgmental friends (which, they're not true friends if they are judgmental) and they make fun of you. What if you have low self esteem and you can't handle that?

For the reason of letting my "piece" be free, I would wear a kilt. But you also don't have to wear any underwear if you really would like it to be free. Because even with a kilt, you have to wear some sort of boxer, brief, etc, to keep it together.

What do you say about that?
