Board shorts vs. beach boxers
Board shorts vs. beach boxers
During summer, most men wear loose, baggy board shorts.
Do you agree with me that men (and boys) look much better in beach boxers (left picture) than in board shorts (right picture)? Board shorts make male hips look wide. The person wearing them looks somewhat childish or even weak to me. When I see a young man with a girlfriend on beach, her tight bikini always contrast with his baggy board shorts.

I wear tan through jammer shorts which are kind of "see through". Very comfortable.

I like the beach trunks much better. They look more adult, more manly.

Re: Board shorts vs. beach trunks
I love both styles, to be honest. No strong preference for one or the other. Both are infinitely nicer than speedo-style and other skimpy kinds of swimwear, which gross me out.

Re: Board shorts vs. beach trunks
I wish the one on the left was more common in Brazil, but only because the few people that aren't wearing proper swim trunks are the ones wearing board shorts. The Speedo fad never left my country and the beach is always a fantastic place for sightseeing.
So, I'd have to say I prefer swim trunks.

As a bonus, here's me wearing a pair of mine

In China most people wear speedos too! I think due to recent fashion trends, some are starting to wear board shorts now. I’m too shy to wear speedos but I think some guys look great wearing it.

Yeah, I kinda like Speedos too. Why shouldn't we show off the goods? If ya got it, flaunt it. And if you don't, still flaunt. We all are going to get old and flabby one day.

Speedos put me off. They look too much like girls' underwear for me I think.

Re: Board shorts vs. beach trunks
What? They're shaped like briefs. They are modelled after briefs. And I only said "Speedo" for a lack of a better term in English. As much as there are people wearing brief-like trunks similar to the first picture, most guys wear trunks that look more like boxers (the one I'm wearing in the picture being an example).
Anway, why are you and Brenden so weirdly focused on male and female, trans and not trans, anyway? It's so strange, and it seems to be getting stranger as time passes.
Being put off by guys wearing something that resembles briefs because it looks feminine doesn't make sense. After all, didn't pretty much all men wear briefs back in the day?

Re: Board shorts vs. beach trunks
Briefs turn me off too. So do jockstraps. Nothing I can do about it. 
What men wore back in the day doesn't affect me.
What I find curious is that you seem so affected by my underwear and swimwear preferences.

Re: Board shorts vs. beach trunks
I remember a joke from... somewhere. I can't remember where now. But it was: "only two types of people wear speedos in public: Great athletes, and perverts."

Not so much affected as I am concerned, but it's also nothing I'd ever lose my sleep over heheh. You do you.

Re: Board shorts vs. beach boxers
Frankly speaking, I meant swim (or beach) boxers. I suggest that they cover enough. Also, I buy somewhat larger swim trunks than I need. I thought that trunks are boxers only (not speedos). I am not a native speaker of English.


Look, most men (and boys) do not go to a gym regularly. In many cases, baggy, long board shorts look like skirts to me:René wrote:They look too much like girls' underwear for me I think.

On the right body speedos can make a guy look cute.
All the guys in the pic are wearing them well

I’ve never been to Brazil but if this is what the guys wear on the beach then I’m booking a flight!
I’m used to seeing speedos worn by overweight men on beaches in Italy and Portugal and can never understand what crossed their mind to wear something like that on a body like that.

Re: Board shorts vs. beach boxers
As a speedo wearer, in a comparison between board shorts and beach boxers I'll always prefer beach boxers. The shorter the better. If I want something more modest, I'd choose short shorts but not the classic surfer board shorts. I admit I've worn board shorts until three or four years ago but I don't want to do it again, I feel so straight wearing them hahaha. Short shorts, beach boxers or speedos. Nothing larger than short shorts.

I tend to wear jammers. They dry super fast, and I have a bunch from my water polo days.

Re: Board shorts vs. beach boxers
As a surfer person I usually go for Board shorts. Most of those pictures don't show real kite board shorts, as they were invented to protect wetsuits while the kite will drag you over the gravel or beach sands.
They do show the more fashion based board short style.
Some of these are cut kind of trashy ,so they don't really fit the best and look baggy. There's one lady at our surfing club, if she wears fashion board shorts, it looks like she wears them upside down, and it really makes her ass region look like Rhino in trunks!
So usually I like to see the guys in real kitesurfing boardshorts:

Although I do admit that Eryx looks hot in any type of swim shorts. Nobody would oppose ( me throwing looks over shoulder at all them skulls behind the wall...)
