Everyone knows that college freshmen typically gain 15 pounds in their first year of college: the notorious “freshman 15.”

But what everyone “knows” may be a myth.

According to a new study, freshmen actually gain an average of 2.5 to 3.5 pounds, and the weight gain has little to do with college attendance.

Researchers at the Ohio State University reviewed data from 7,418 interviews with subjects ages 17 to 20 and found that first-year students, both men and women, gained about 3 pounds during the year. Heavy drinkers gained more, and those who had a job gained less than those who did not. But income, poverty and living in a dorm had no statistically significant effect.

The study, published in the December issue of the journal Social Science Quarterly, also found that young adults who do not go to college gain weight — about a half pound less than college students of the same age. In other words, college attendance has almost no effect on weight gain.

According to online surveys , traditionally, men wear the same type of underwear their fathers wore . And, by habit, they stick with the same underwear model throughout their lives. As for demographics : 71% of men wear briefs, 7% like tight boxers, and 7% prefer boxers. It’s not clear from the survey what the other 15% wear (or don’t) but I’ll let you guess.

For half a century, it has been touted that loose underwear keeps scrotal temperature down and maintains fertility . Hang low sweet chariot. As a consequence, doctors of all kinds have routinely advised men to wear boxers instead of briefs to maintain their fertility. And just as men buy sexy lingerie for their women, women buy the most bizarre boxers for their men: from kitten covered cotton to stylized silk. But is any of this true? Or is this just another genital shell game ?
