Growing up watching Spanish TV in the 90s, it was very common to see male soap opera actors wearing very skimpy swimsuits and even underwear in scenes on Spanish telenovelas. Even in Spanish "tabloid" style magazines, you could often see pictures of male celebrities on the beach wearing swim brief/bikini or even thong-style swimwear. It was a lot less taboo to show men in skimpy swimwear or underwear on Latin American television.
