    Sounds like a little but of bragging on your part. I think you might adjust to the freeing of your wee bits, as long as it isn't a chaffing issue.

    In all seriousness, Auld Argonian summed it up best on page 2 of this thread: “General wisdom gleaned from this site sez that they [the Highlanders of old] at least wore a very long shirt that acted as a buffer between the wool and the guy.”

    A regimental kilt (men’s kilt, that is, not an officer’s special) can be pretty rough, but with a buffer (as AA put it), there is no problem.
    If you have pain, you certainly need to see a urologist.
    If you want to wear underpants, go right ahead.
    But unless you are running, there is no need for them. The suspension is naturally provided.
    I wear boxer shorts with trousers, having learned that the lads need to hang free – in part it was a solution to a problem I had with a scrotal rash, but aside from fungal complications, the scrotum itself needs to be free, because it constantly adjusts the distance of the testicles from the body.
    This is a natural function that ensures that sperm is not too hot, not too cold.
    Men who wear tighty whities often have problems when they want to father a child – it’s no joke!
    So going regimental with the kilt makes a great deal of sense to me, even if my wife thinks it is risky and (when I go to church) inappropriate.
    Regards,
    Mike

    Caution is certainly appropriate in the presence of either small children or large dogs.

    True enough!
    And I neglected to mention that I discovered long ago that what best eases the skin in the region under discussion is talcum powder (good old Baby Johnson’s). No lubricants needed!

    From your description I agree with the double check with the doctor/urologist suggestion. Then use body glide.

    If the pain only happens when going 'regimental' there may well be an issue with support. If that is the case, wear what you would normally wear ('regimental' is only mandatory for those actually in a regiment). If the has pain continued, do as has been suggested. Go to the emergency room. Now.

    I'm with the doctor recommendations. When it comes to the boys, I take anything unexpected or unusual with serious attention. What you describe is unusual and not what I would expect...
