I've been wearing Ex-Officio boxers for a few years and they are the BEST!!  My wife and two sons always gave me some "grief" about liking them so much, and also because they look a little different from the standard fare.  First, I recently got some boxers for my sons and now they are "converts".  Finally, I bought these bikini briefs for my wife and she has also "converted".  We are now an Ex-Officio family.  Go for it.  You won't be sorry.
