I don't pay attention to what other men are doing in the gents, but I have never seen someone doing what you describe.

It's not obtrusive. You'd have to be squatting in front of him with your head at waist level to see it.

G-fused described the process this way: "We undo our pants and pull the underwear band down . . ."

I assume this means he's talking about unbuckling his belt, unzipping his fly, unhooking the hook or button at the waistband, and then pulling down the underwear. You couldn't not notice this if you were next to the guy.

I really have no knowledge of what other men do, but I would be shocked if any significant share of the population who wear underwear with a built-in fly do not use it.

This conversation has only come up twice in my life when I was hanging out with guys. In both cases it was akin to someone saying a Jerry Seinfeld-esque "and what's with the opening in front of men's underwear? does anyone actually use it?" Two groups of people, maybe 15 the one time and 5 another time. Each time, 0 guys said they used it.

I would be surprised if an appreciable share of the population DID use it.

I don't pay much attention to it, to tell the truth. Usually just roll the right pants leg up a couple inches and go....

Maybe I'll just wear my underwear backwards.

My circle of family and friends are Seinfeldesque - always have been, before Seinfeld was around. My wife doesn't like the show. When I asked her why she said it's too much like her life so she doesn't find it entertaining.

I honestly would not have guessed that anyone does that.

And there is usually a bit of drip at the end too. Doesn't the urine get on your pants? And isn't there a good chance that your hair (or worse yet...your skin) will get snagged on the zipper?

I can think of an endless amount of issues.
Most men do that. I think it is strange when I see a guy unbuckling his pants at a urinal (it reminds me of a child); and, from my observations, is far less popular than simply unzipping your fly.

Wear boxers. I never have a problem with this because the moisture isn't trapped, so I advise switching. More comfortable too.

Boxer briefs are by far the most comfortable to me. I go with a nice athletic fabric so that it is comfortable and dry whether I am working out or just at work. Boxers were always very uncomfortable, no support, and bunchy to me
