As many men’s swim briefs that get released each summer, you’d still be hard-pressed to find a man who wears them. The swim style is painfully uncommon in the States where people’s taste in clothing — swimwear included — remains, for all intents and purposes, conservative. But the fact of the matter is men’s swim briefs do it better than the boring board shorts you got two years ago at Old Navy. This exclusive Underwear Expert photoshoot by Jerrad Matthew is all about hitting the water in something that makes waves, not ripples.
The biggest problem with the Average Joe’s swim shorts is that they look and fit like a floral tarp. They’re loose, rigid, and usually have a cookie cutter floral print or nautical motif. It’s what most people are expecting to see at the pool or beach. But men’s swim briefs will always turn heads and provide a more flattering fit. It may take a little confidence or a shot of liquid courage, but the compliments will come and officially convert you. Besides, do you really care if people see your legs? It’s not like they’re naughty bits.
You can see more stylish men’s swim briefs on The Underwear Expert.

There’s No way in hell I would wear something showing my package. It’s bad enough most men only care about one thing.

I’m a Birdwell guy, but I very much enjoy seeing men in skimpy swimwear. Birdwells are like jeans; they just get better with age, and it’s the one article I am comfortable freeballing in.
Tony Rutledge
Neither my body nor my junk are good enough for me to wear that stuff, and even if they were I doubt I’d be comfortable in them, I get uncomfortable wearing boxerbriefs, I damn sure couldn’t handle that
Mercurical Memo
More men should wear swim briefs. Then they don’t have that ugly tan line that awkwardly goes to the knee. Besides, swim trunks hugs the buttocks so well and I ain’t complaint nag about that.

Here in Brazil the speedo is the norm. Everybody wears speedos. Even the heavier guys.

20 years ago when I was 6’4 and 170 pounds, sure.
20 years later at 6’4 and 240 pounds, hell no!
Tony Chaplinski
most overweight nation–USA least nation to wear this style—USA Sounds right to me.

@Billy Budd:
For better or worse. I well recall. I prefer those woolen cut to the ankle numbers from the early 1900’s. Or a nice burqa.

@Bauhaus:
Photographs please. Preferably running down the beach Baywatch style, with floppage.
@Tony Rutledge:
Don’t sell yourself short. I am absolutely charmed by your avatar photo. But I’m kinda with you. Something about the high-cut briefs-style suits feels too revealing. The square cut, though it’s only like a half-inch’s more fabric, feels more modest to me.

If you have a physique like this fitness model uses for the article, do indeed don some type of briefer swimwear: swim or racing briefs, “Speedos,” or Brazilian square cut trunks (sunga in Portuguese).

“Bad news, patriots: According to a new UN study, America is no longer the most obese country among more populous nations. That honor, which, according to another study, Americans held as recently as March, now belongs to Mexico. Roughly 70 percent of Mexicans are overweight and almost one-third are obese.” Jul 9, 2013
Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati, small island nations in the Pacific, top the list, with roughly four out of five of their citizens being overweight or obese. They are followed by a slew of Middle Eastern countries – Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Mexico, Turkey, Chile and Iceland also rank above the U.S. The U.S. comes in 27th with 66.3 percent of its population being obese or overweight.
The United States is 18th on the CIA’s list. But among large populations, Mexico only two years ago unseated America as the fattest country in the world.
The least overweight countries by this measure are Ethiopia and North Korea, with 6.1 percent and 4.4 percent of their population being overweight or obese, respectively.”

No running in my birdie. Instant hard-on. I’m a quadragenarian with the dick of an 18 year old.

What’s with the gay men saying shit like “gay men only care about one thing” which is a lie and something I expect to hear from a homophobe, sounds more like jealousy but even some gay men are homophobic.
We are not all the same. Speedo type bathing suits are far easier to swim in than those baggy board shorts that lots of Americans wear. It’s not all about SEX.
Carl Robinson
I remember years ago you wearing black & white stripe biker shorts, in Sam,s club showing all yo business, I guess now yo old butt has changed… Smh

Skimpy suits all the way for me, don’t try to body shame me, I go nude when ever I can too. There is always someone with a better or worse body then yours, grow up, grow a pair.
No board shorts (curtains of shame) for me.
highestbidder
I hate those things, guys look way hotter in board shorts.

I don’t go to the beach to show off. I go to sun and swim, both of which feel better with as little on as possible. I prefer briefs for me and for other men. I couldn’t care less if you don’t like what you see; just look away. We Americans care too much about what other people think. It’s one of our worst national traits.
