Swim trunks… With or without underwear?

[sdbg]

I have never been a fan of long swim trunks. Instead, I opted for short inseam, fast drying nylon or polyester gym shorts with a Speedo underneath. I always had the option to slip off the gym shorts. As I have become older, the gym shorts always come off when I arrive at the beach. I have reached a point where I don't care about being an old guy in a Speedo. When I swim in the ocean, I like to wear as little as possible in the water. As they say: "Less is more!"

Always without underwear. I don't need another layer of wet clothing when I come out of the water. Preferably, I wouldn't be wearing a bathing suit either but that's generally frowned upon in most places. Lately, I've been wearing compression shorts to swim. I find that they dry much quicker than most of the typical materials. Back in the day, modesty wasn't such an issue and a lot of guys wore speedo briefs. Years ago when I was running every day and pretty slim, I wore speedos at the pool and beach. I had a decent bulge and would get a few looks but most people paid no attention. Quite frankly, I don't see why guys these days are so self-conscious about showing even a hint of penis. Everyone knows you have one so what's the big deal?

Like always - I freeball. Board shorts are designed to be worn that way. Also - I just don't give a crap if people see a bit of a bulge - lucky them! Also at most of the beaches I usually get to the board shorts are just for the walk from the car to the beach anyway.

I always cut those liners out and just wear them without underwear

Same here man

Wow, I have never worn underwear when swimming

I replied last year, but again this summer saw younger family members and their friends when we dressed before going to the pool and the beach and saw them put underwear on. I asked again why do that. Got the same answer. So no one sees their penis outline, because it would be so embarrassing. Also, in case their swim suit falls down, no one sees their buttcrack.

No underwear at all, wheather I'm using trunks or speedos. And I also cut off the liner from the trunks.
Must be an age thing, but being in my 40s, even though I'm a grower and my dick shrinks like hell with the cold water, I'm giving less and less fucks by the day as for what people might see or not. If they like it, all the better for both of us. If the find I'm too small, it's their loss for never finding out how much it grows, hahaha.

I personally do wear underwear under my swimming shorts when I go to a pool. I'm quite big soft and I just don't feel comfortable with everyone being able to see that outline of my cock. If I'm alone or at a quiet lake or something I don't wear underwear most of the time

That’s interesting! Dutch people have a reputation for being very open. I remember that most of the homes don’t even have or draw curtains at night. I was also impressed when changing in public places how free everyone was in the locker rooms — even the young guys. No one was at all modest.

Yeah I'm also just a really modest and private person in general. I'd say we are open in some ways but also very private in other ways. But these days things like shared locker rooms are becoming less of a thing here as well. People are way more private there I'd say, mostly due to the rise of phones and people taking pics and such

They’re not - the Dutch have become very prudish and judgemental. From what I understand, *if* their boys still shower after PE, they wear underwear (under the shower!). Apparently, this behaviour is carried over from the influx of north-African people where showing their genitals to others is religiously taboo.

On the whole, I don’t particularly care for the Dutch anymore. I prefer Germans or Belgians.

Always without underwear never understood people who wore them, as ive gotten older i actually find that nasty especially in a pool and if they aren't a clean pair

I've never even considered wearing underwear under board shorts or any sort of swim gear. Occasionally I have gone swimming in JUST undies if I had to wear something and didn't have swim shorts.
