the other day i went fishing at the state park , while motoring around i saw to females sunbathing on the rocks wearing their bikini's and wondered how long it would take for the park police to arrive if that was me in my bathing suit sunning instead of them. yes you know there is a double standard..
I must dissent from the whole here. If I must wear anything to the beach it will be board shorts for relaxation. I have yet to find a bikini/Speedo that fits comfortably. I have no issue with thongs, but in many places they are not allowed. Now, if I were competing again I would overcome the discomfort and wear the Speedo. I just enjoy the freedom of the board shorts.
watching tv this afternoon and they had a program on about beaches and the topic was bathing suit and the ladies in their bikinis were talking about men bathing suits bikini/speedos or board shorts, needless to say a young guy in great shape walked by in a bikini/speedo and they all went ugh ! and said they didn't like it all hanging out on males and all seemed to prefer the board shorts, my wife also watching said idiots referring to the females. when we go to the beach or pool and i need to wear a bathing suit its always a bikini/speedo and even though i could lose some weight never wants me in board shorts. i still don't understand the double standard, when they say they don't like to see it all hanging out have they ever looked down at what they have hanging out. i apperciate the europeon outlook on the human body far more than us americans we have a lot of hangups.

Hey Gabare, I'm totally agree with you, Just got back from Hong Kong China, bikini speedo is common in asia as well. I think americans do have alot of hangups with a human body. Hope that will change 1 day.
I thought it was mostly a California or USA thing to wear those "board-shorts", but I guess they're popular all over. I think styles just change, but also, it's a stupid reaction to their crotch (and all the way down to their knees), from being seen. Part of it is anti-gay, I think. As for me, I don't really like the "speedo-type (brand name) bikini shorts for men. There's not much room for guys' parts. There are types of bikini swimsuits that do have more room, a pouch, that are more masculine.
I like to wear running shorts, much shorter than board shorts, and still can be work on the Street. The thin material that they're made from feels and looks good too!
