Yea, it tends to be more comfortable to have the boys supported, but put some shorts on or something. Let the tight tights be for women going to yoga, strippers, and the cycling super heroes.

I rock cargo shorts over "tights" without a pad when touring, works perfect and spares folks the mental scarring.
I wear boxer-briefs for regular stuff, and even for rides around 30 miles without issue, and I sweat a lot more more than the average man.
HTFU (not really, just have some compassion for fellow man.)

Also, if you're riding in full kit, and not being paid to, you're falling into a fad, much like a hipster, just with different clothes.
