The boldest of us all

I agree-and I urge all of my friends to at least try wearing them. I have even bought some for them. Modesty goes out the window when you are in the hospital. There is a collegial environment at my pools where you engage in conversations about many things other than how much skin is showing. Just seems to be the right atmosphere to be almost naked with few hangups. Compared to many European countries we Americans are prudes. I don't see why girls have to cover their breasts until they need the support.

We all know that the girls in their frontal anatomy all have two bulges and these are provided for in the design of their swimsuits (putting aside for the moment the alluring appearance of some itsy bitsy triangles).

The guys on the other hand have one to accommodate in their swimsuits of a size and shape to be worn according to their style taste, self-perception, comfort, location of use, and/or demands of their leisure activity/sport.

Should we not simply accept therefore that this endowment , coming also in various shapes and sizes as it does, is a fact of nature for males and efforts to flatten it out of existence should not be attempted for reasons of prudery ?

Byron, your point is right on. I have never understood why so many girls and guys are hung up over seeing that a guy has a package. It just comes with the territory, much like what comes with the female body up top. The irony of this is that while the consensus opinion seems all hung up on not seeing a guys "junk" in a swim brief, it is OK to see how well a guy fills out a pair of tight jeans.

Maybe packages should have sizes

A package
B backage
C Package
and the enormous D package

Americans truly are double standard prudes. Women run around in real skimpy bikinis but guys seem to be supposed to wear real baggy dumb looking shorts. A generation ago guys showed it off in real skimpy speedos and it was ok. Now one would think the country would collapse if they do so. Europeans, South Americans, and Asians are way ahead of us on this.

Ever notice how guys show their Junk in their wrestling suits. You can even see if they are cut or not! And it's not unusual to see guys aroused because of the close body contact. There is nothing between your penis and the fabric and the rubbing that you do with the other guy brings it on with no control over it-part of the game-I know from experience. I used to get hard on by just climbing rope in high gym-but we just joked about it.

To those who are critical of speedos because they are "too revealing", I've always pointed out that jammers accentuate a guy's package more than a speedo.

However a speedo tends to follow the form of the body in the groin/leg area, but with jammers (or a tech suit), the first thing I always notice is that "Lump".

Did a bit of research on size classification Sebbie and seems to be fraught with difficulties if the ladies' brassiere experiences are anything to go by.
I won't bore you with all the intricacies of inter- and intra- national sizing problems however, so have a laugh instead:

The late Russell Harty was once a teacher in a boys public school, the headmaster's wife attended the full dress rehearsal of the school play and demanded that Mr Harty address the boys. He had to tell them that in future performances all boys wear jockstraps under their tights. An unbroken voice asked "Does that include boys with small parts, sir?"
