have been kayaking during summer and into fall nothing worse than shorts getting wet and soggy so have a speedo and a t-shirt, when in public area and stopping at the beach or island to streatch, as i get to secluded area its easier to slip off and sunbathe and skinnydip
I prefer speedos myself, board shorts are not for me. My wife hates the fact that I wear them on public beaches, around our pooland my kids get embarrassed, but I'm very comfortable with my body and wearing them. In the US its taboo because we tend to be a little uptight our bodies and nudity. We Americans need to relax. Its ok for a female to wear thongs and skimpy bikinison the beach but not for men to wear speedos, whats with that???
someone said speedo's were not acceptable in america, since when and if not why is a bikini acceptable for women on the beach, what a stupid double standard. and for those that wear board shorts to the beach after a whole day you gotta admit how stupid you look down there all white and than red or tan elsewhere, a female in a bikini is just going to have a small white patch,, if i go to beach it will be a speedo with a small white patch.
Speedos seem to be OUT. Baord shorts are really just too heavy. I wear a thin nylon (or other synthetic) rip stop material short baggy boxers from wich the liner has been removed. Some times just skimpy running shorts split up the sides to the waist band and also with the liner removed. These cover what some folks think needs covering and are light as a feather and airy!!! And when these "some folks" aren't around slip off quickly!!
Firts of all I like nude the most, but when I have no choice I'd rather wear a speedo than anything else. It's smaller than shorts and for me the closest to being nude. But neither one of them give me the pleasure of a day naked at the beach or pool
