I agree that the debate over speedos VS longer, baggy suits is centered about the body form of the wearer rather than speedos themselves.
If you've got a less than average body, try something that's longer and looser fitting. I wish the fashion biz would bring back the old fashioned "Trunks" (that were like short gym shorts) for those who don't have a body that's appropriate for a speedo.
However if you've got a good looking body, then definitely go for the speedo!!!
