Since I was a kid I've shunned men's bikini briefs. But now I'm one of the guys with a shiny marble bag -- strutting poolside, liberated.
  • Flaunt it if you got it!

    I go to the beach damn near every weekend in the summer. Every now and then you'll see a supposedly straight guy wearing a speedo. Although at the gay beach down the way, almost all of the men are in speedos or those tight shorts.

    Personally, I think if you have a great body and sport a nice tan you should wear something small. I'd enjoy looking at you! I'd prefer the look of dark, tight, low-rise "boy shorts" over a speedo just because I think they accentuate a body better and in some ways you'd avoid the stigma of the Speedo.

    Besides, isn't it kinda strange for a white man to have no tan above his knees? Can't be something good to look at naked...

    I know its hypocritical to suggest that only fit men wear small swimsuits while currently women of all sizes wear bikinis on the beach, but if you're going to start a revolution, its better to start out with the most desirable candidates. Lifeguards seem like a logical choice. Great bodies and an image that men might want to emulate.

    Although probably the easiest way to start a trend is to have Puffy (or Diddy...whatever) wear one!
