Maybe I am the contrary opinion, but I have worn brief swimsuits all my life and I have never thought of them as one step away from nudist. When I am wearing my swimsuit I don't see myself as a closet nudist, rather I think of it as nothing more than my swimsuit of choice. It has never bothered me to be in a brief suit, but I have never had a desire to go naked. I would think portraying a guy in briefs as being nearly naked would only exacerbate the choice not to wear them in a young mind. After all, isn't body issue and image the crux of the problem at that age?
