OK....I grew up wearing swim briefs which were the norm even in my part of conservative West Texas in the 60s, 70s and 80s.....suddenly, someone dictated that briefs ("speedos") were gay and men were sentenced to wearing shorts down to their knees which are a damned good recipe for drowning! In the ensuing time, women's swimwear continues to get more and more skimpy. Part of the argument is that not all men have the physique to pull off briefs. Has anyone told some of the heifers on the beach wearing thongs If you got a beer gut, it is going to hang out if you are wearing board shorts or briefs. WTF is the issue?
Having just gotten fitness religion, losing thirty pounds and going for fifty, (and having sort of a Jones for briefs, too) I will proudly be wearing briefs on the beach and around the pool this summer.
As for the dissenters and whiners? Fuck'em if they can't take a joke!
