I always enjoy the rationalization posts.
What it all boils down to is comfort. If a guy is comfortable wearing a speedo he should. And by comfort I mean how it fits as much as how comfortable he is around other people wearing it.
If a guy is comfortable wearing board shorts, then he should. With the popularity of boxer shorts and going commando it is understandable that being in a tight fitting suit would not be their choice. He should not be chastised by people on this board for his choices.
A man (or woman) should definitely dress according to their body. If a person is carrying so much weight that their swimsuit disappears in the rolls of fat then perhaps a speedo or bikini isn't right for them.
Comfort in wearing. I personally prefer a speedo because I have worn them since I was a child. However, since I have worn them so long it has become second nature for me to tug the back down where it has ridden up and adjust the package do to movement or water temp size changes. A lot of guys don't like having to do that. I have to admit, on the occasions I have worn the board short it has been nice not having to.
Convenience is another factor. Some people like to walk, swim, surf or play some sports and don't want a "base camp" where they leave shorts worn as cover ups or keys, change etc. The board short offers them pockets that speedos don't. They are free to roam as they like. They save their speedos for exercise swimming.
If a person needs to rationalize why they are wearing a particular piece of clothing and chastise those that don't conform to their personal like or dislikes seems like there must be some deep seeded insecurities about all their choices in life.
If you want to go to the beach or pool and enjoy the water and sun, put on what you want and go. If you have worn a speedo with shorts over them don't take inventory of how many are wearing speedos, just pull off the shorts and enjoy the day. Your enjoyment should not depend on strangers and what they are wearing. And please, don't sit down and slither out of the shorts like a snake losing their skin, just pull them off before you lay down on your towel. You will draw more attention by trying to be discrete. Will people look?? Of course they will look, it is human nature. When another person enters a room or area people automatically will check them out. It only takes a matter of seconds and probably won't even interrupt a conversation they are having. That don't really care what you are wearing (unless it is totally obscene) they are just acknowledging another presence in their area. Don't take it as judgmental. The average person does't even take note they are being looked at. To me it seems that if there is so much concern about your swimsuit, how can you enjoy your day? Don't think so much, spend that time enjoying.
