"Why don't you put those undershorts that you've been wearing today in the laundry bin?" he asks.
"I'm quite a clean guy," I answer, "so my undershorts aren't dirty after I've only worn them for one day :-). But I do change them regularly, after a few days, even if they don't seem dirty!"
"What?!" shrieks boyfriend T, "that's not clean!! You mean you don't wear clean undershorts every day??"
"Um, well, should I?" I reply calmly, surprised by his reaction, "I don't know if I've got enough for one a day!"
While boyfriend T opens my underwear drawer and counts my spare pairs of undershorts, I recall that ex-boyfriend P had a theory that guys from colder northern European climates like me don't wash as much as guys who're from tropical climates, who typically sweat more during the day.
"Look," he says triumphantly, "You've got more than enough for one a day! Are all British guys as dirty as you?"
"But I'm not dirty," I protest, "although it's true that when I was young my mother and my grandmother thought that I should wash more!"
"Well what about ex-boyfriend S?" asks boyfriend T, "did he have clean underwear every day?"
"Yes actually," I reply, "I think he did!"
"Well at least some British guys are normal then!"
Although I don't think there's anything wrong with my cleanliness, I'm quite interested to know how regularly other people change their underwear. So please vote in the poll that I've set up on this blog's right-hand side bar :-).
Update 20-Mar-2010: The graph below shows the final results of the poll. What clean guys you all are, well, most of you anyway!
