Is it essential to wear underwear during exercise, walking or running? I have listened from the people that if you don't wear underwear your sexual health will be affected and your testicles also.

Dear Lybrate user. Wearing tight underwear while doing physical exercises because the hanging testicles will have to take the brunt of hanging and swagging. This swagging of testicles can affect its general health and may cause fluid retention and related pain. There is no relation with sexual health at all. Take care.
