Why men don't wear speedos, bikinis, string bikinis or even g strings to the beach

[zracer]

More men should wear these at the beach. I like them and like seeing men who do wear them..

 

[Geoffrey2_0]

I've tried but I just dont fit into them right--too much gapping . . .

 

[Hatt_101]

too tight would never wear them, i need room thats why swim trunks are the best

 

[Brisler]

Because if they did, they would be all alone at the beach.

When I was a boy thongs were women's underwear.My mother and sisters wore them under clingy skirts,dresses and pants when they did not want panty lines showing through.Why would I wear womens underwear to the beach?

 

[Chrysippus]

Because most men want comfort during non-strenuous recreation--that's why. If you want to see cocks, go to a nude beach. I don't like being all scrunched up by a speedo, and wearing a thong feels like giving youself a wedgie. I'll wear a jock during running exercise, but that's to support my balls, thereby avoiding fatigue. My pkg pulls the top of speedos down and exposes bush, and I'm just not looking to do that.

I speedo when I swim laps at home. A proper fitting speedo is like a jockstrap during a vigorous swim. I used to wear one when I lapped at the Y or a city pool when I was younger, and I've never been shy about wearing one on beaches in Europe and South America where everyone does. I've always worn regular trunks at the beach and at pool parties here.

It's simply not a social norm for men at beaches and pools here in the States. I don't understand why we're so prudish about it. Good old American puritanism. I hope we don't slide back into full body bathing outfits of the Victorian era. Pool burkas.

It's also a double standard when women are expected to wear one or two piece swimwear that's absolutely skin tight.

Head across the Atlantic! Europeans have no hang-ups about speedos - or less!!

Like its already stated... I think most guys are up tight about it in the states. Even I get up tight but I am coming around. You don't have to go across the atlantic to be at a beach where sports briefs / speedos are the norm. In the Dominican Republic they are worn as an example.

I also think many misconceptions come along with wearing Sports Briefs, Bikinis, String Bikinis and Thongs.
I personally enjoy the first 3, I have worn a thong or tried too. Not comfortable for me.

I used to wear speedo's exclusively, that is, when I wasn't where I could wear nothing.

Seems to me that in spite of all the readily available sex on the internet, American society is about as sexually uptight, conflicted, and paranoid as it's ever been. I remember men's bathrooms in ballparks where everyone peed in a long open trough, gyms with wide open shower area, and guys actually took showers, and thought nothing of it. Now everyone's mincing around behind stalls and stuff like they're afraid someone's going to pinch their arses.

I don't know if a lot of conservative bible thumping ideology is to blame or wtf. Frankly I feel sorry for 'em.

As I said previously, for me not wearing a Speedo/thong is an issue of comfort--I don't care what it looks like. I am with you on the prudery, can't imagine what's going on in the minds of the young men I've seen who wear underwear into and even during a shower at the gym: etymologically, gymnasium implies nakedness (Gk,, gymnos). Who 'fucked up' these young men?

I agree everyone has a right to that style of swimwear that best suits them and makes them comfortable. But yes, something's seriously wrong when guys feel they need to shower in their underwear.

 

[NottsBound]

Probably considered more as a female thing. Thats why

Thongs look very gay. That's not an insult, but it would be like wearing an advertisement to the wrong audience.

I wore speedos when I used to swim competitively. If I was visiting a country where they were the norm, I'd be fine to wear one. Here in the US, it would feel a fashion faux paus to wear one to a public beach... not offensive, per se, but like wearing socks with sandals.

 

[henry777]

It's revealing so some guys are shy about showing off their package. I personally love it because it shows my bulge nicely.

 

[littleguyhugedick]

I tried one and it looked like i had a grapefruit stuck down there. NO WAY at the beach.

I think you need a certain body type to wear that style. As with anything it could end up looking odd at best on some people.
I could wear them, I'd go with the Bond type tight shirts, but preference a tighter fitting board short, something not so baggy. Those Are tough to find.

Being a nudist, I tend to avoid beaches where ANY swimsuit is required.

I see that you like them, good for you, your choice.

But, for those who do not like them, find then uncomfortable, do not like the way their wangs / junk gets squished together, do not like to have their ass cheeks out for the word to see or just want to wear board shorts as they look best, good for you as well
