If you want a swim brief with plenty of front space but without a front seam pouch then do what Arena did in the 1980's. Make the seat seam between the front and back of the suit wider but make the front of the suit wider than the back. Whenever you sew Lycra you have to stretch it, but stretch the back of the suit more than the front and when your garment is finished you will have plenty of space in the front. This is why old Arena swim briefs have a tell tale ripple either side of the family jewels.
