Board shorts versus briefs

[MISpeedo]

I had time off this week so I hit the beach for a few days. 99.99% of the guys were in board shorts, but I did see one guy in running shorts. I was brave and went in one of my swim briefs. Like others have said, I did not experience one negative look, comment, or any issues that I expected being the only one in a brief. I was surprised as I was in an area with families and others enjoying the sun and water. I just wish there were others wearing swim briefs and not just me. Sorry to say, based on my observations I don't see that changing anytime soon. Thanks to others that support wearing briefs in public outside of lap swimming.
