I found a big selection of men's swim wear from board short to speedos to trunks and even thongs if you're into those, at the International Jock web site. They have a lot of different brands and you can shop on line. I think its www.internationaljock.com
when I have to wear a suit, it is a speedo. Was at my sister and brother-in-law's once and we decided to go swimming, so my bro-in law loaned me one of his speedos to use. Felt much better than a baggy suit. My son thinks they are gross.
I get the same thing from my son...and I'm taking "fashion" advice from an 18 year old...why?
If I cant go nude it has to be speedo or well cut swim wear.I think a lot of guys who are not into being nude worry about showing to much, or rather not enough when wearing speedo's. The cheeper designs flattern down , but a well cut pair can give you a good line.
Being naked is best though....I think we all agree on that..
It's one thing to be fashionable and another to deny what you are. People who think it's shameful for a woman's nipples to be evident or a guy's penis to produce a bulge, well, sorry for being what we are! Wearing a bathing suit doesn't make it go away. I guess wearing my speedo makes me a bit of an exhibitionist but it's also a soap box to yell out "I've got genitals which doesn't in any way change who I am!" I saw a guy on the beach, he was probably 18, and he was playing some ball game with friends and I admired his hootzpah for wearing a pretty daring speedo. Not too many guys that age have the courage! The laughs and uneasiness are just like at the nudist club, they go away pretty quickly once people get past your crotch.
For me, if I have to wear something (like when doing laps at the local pool), it's a pair of speedos. I find them more comfortable than the other permitted alternatives.
Of course, given a choice, nude would be the most preferable! :)
