Board shorts or speedos?

[mickey1952]

Summer will be here before you know it. When you hit the beach or pool, would you rather ogle hot guys wearing boardshorts or speedos? Personally, I prefer boardshorts. Nothing wrong with leaving a little bit to the imagination!

[TetRefine]

Hands down, speedos. Sadly nobody in the US wears them because its considered too femmy and gay. Maybe someday they will catch on.

I actually really hate boardshorts for the most part. While enjoying the sun and swimming, I never saw the need to be covered up so much. Speedos were more popular for a while, but now the current style covers more flesh than most guys fathers and grandfathers ever wore. It's true that some people look better in one than the other, but that follows with every type of clothing ever made. However, someone is buying them... they're in every men's clothing magazine.

 

But as far as when I'm ogling... The more minimal amount of fabric of a well fitting speedo is enough to keep my imagination involved. Go Speedos!!

I have seen some guys in wet white board shorts that were fascinating.  But a well built hunk in Speedos wins every time. No matter the color.

I spotted a guy wearing black Speedos (and a pair of flip flops) once in Santa Cruz.  He was quite visible in the crowd, walking by himself, though most people didn't stare (it's not polite to stare! ).  I was too afraid to take a photo of him (that would be creepy).  His body was really nothing to be ashamed of (swimmer type with great muscle definition).

 

Most Californian dudes wear board shorts.  That's a shame.  Plenty of them are quite handsome.  If they can wear them low, why not wear them short?

Speedos, black.

Wow, am I ever gonna be in the monority here, from the looks of it! Lol

Can I vote for a blast from the past and a normal old fashioned swim suit? Much shorter and more snug than board shorts but not quite so...intimate apparel...as speedos. To me speedos look like they swiped the bottom half of a 70's era ladies bikini and board shorts always seem on the verge of wrapping around their ankles.

You bet, Kitt. Nothing wrong with adding another choice to the question.

Zom, pick your tongue up off the floor and roll it back up into your mouth. ;-)))

Speedos: red.

 

A lot of fun to look at on the right person.

 

The only problem is that the people that SHOULD wear speedo DON'T and the people who should NEVER wear speedo DO.

 

I proved this once in the form of the Inverse Probability Theorem.

Shameless is fine. Although I'm not a fan of the animal print, the body and tats more than make up for it.

I agree with jamessavik,

Personally, I think it depends on body type and build. Like, I think skinny guys look better in board shorts. I also think heavier built guys look better in board shorts. The happy medium (athletic and lean) looks good in speedos, though. As with everything else, it's just a case of dressing for your body type.

 

Also, I think more women should wear board shorts. They do make them for girls too, and I think it looks great.

Unfortunately, the recent trend is not only toward the board shorts, but there has also been a move away from more revealing shorts in sports.  Look at what the college and pro athletes wear in basketball, soccer or lacrosse, even when compared to what they wore in the 80s.  I certainly hope the trend goes back the other way soon.  I definitely prefer seeing fit guys in a Speedo or short-shorts.

Happily, that's not true for Australian Rules Football

   Generally board shorts, but if you have the body for it...

Two words: Clothing Optional, if I had to ogle, why not go all the way

I'm shameless too. Send me two please. LOL

Of course nothing at all is preferable, but there's something very exciting about a nice speedo tan line framing out the round globes of a man's bottom... /sigh

[B1ue]

Knee length shorts and a t-shirt. And a chair in the shade. Also, get me a margarita.

......................Humm, interesting question, I was raised in an era that only board shorts were in. Speedos was a European thing, and we didn't have a swim team at my school. We did have gymnastics and I was one, but I wouldn't of have the guts to wear a speedo back then!
