How snug is snug enough? That is an interesting question. This is actually the first installment of a two-part series, the second part being the question “How skimpy is skimpy enough?” the latter of which I will discuss in a separate chapter. But the question “how snug is snug enough?” provides an excellent starting point for more than one essay on the subject.

What does all of this have to do with the guys in the story, but especially Dylan, whose mind tends to be often focused on such a silly “concern”? Well, that too is an interesting question.

Let me start at the beginning, if I may. I know my readers would not be along with me at this point if each of them did not to at least a degree share some of the interests and feelings of the four guys in my story. Were you as a reader disinterested, you would not be looking up the latest story installment and you would have ignored all of this long ago. But, if you are still reading this after all these chapters, there must be “something” that you are able to “glean” from the discussion.

That is the way it is with Dylan, who has gradually become the focus of the story, too. Dylan’s thoughts and feelings must in some way mirror the thoughts and feelings of the guys who want to read about what Dylan thinks and feels. Dylan LOVES swim briefs. But the readers here are devoted to the same thing. That in itself is, well, more than a bit curious.

Maybe I shouldn’t be saying it all this bluntly, but a basic question might be what is it specifically that Dylan loves about swim briefs? I think all of you actually already know the answer to that. First Dylan loves how they look and feel on his 19-yeear old body. The look and feel is somehow special, something unique, fun or even playful. Dylan keeps wondering if other guys in the same situation wearing a little swim brief somehow manage to end up in the same place Dylan is in when he wears one. The answer to this question, though not yet certain, has been gradually becoming a little clearer.

Of course there is more, much more. Dylan knows that, and he now suspects that some other guys might know that too. Dylan loves to jerk off while wearing a swim brief. Not sure exactly what it is that gets him horny, aroused and hard. Could it be the look, the feel, or something else even more difficult to ascertain. Dylan is not certain, but whatever that something is, it is certainly there, big time. Dylan suspects that other guys might be similarly “affected” but that is part of the as yet unresolved mystery. Certainly guys are usually loath to “admit” to this under all but extraordinary circumstances. So this becomes a very private “secret” that is not easy to share with anyone.

There are swim briefs and there are swim briefs. Any guy who shares Dylan’s interests certainly knows that. Some swim briefs have wider sides than others. An old=school “standard” swim brief has 3-inch sides and provides quite a bit of coverage to the buttocks. Some guys might think this is the least sexy swim brief out there, as in the brief least likely to lead to arousal and “inadvertent” ejaculation, but there is more to the story than that.

It is pretty common nowadays to find swim briefs with narrower sides, 2-inch, 1-inch and narrower and briefs that provide less coverage to the buttocks than a so-called standard swim brief, usually on line not in a physical store. I want to delay any discussion about whether these briefs tend to get sexier and more likely to lead to arousal and ejaculation until a later chapter.

For now, I want to return to simply a standard old school swim brief like you might still find hanging on a men’s swimsuit rack at a bricks-and-mortar sporting goods store, not something briefer sold by an on-line vendor.

A simple brief from a major manufacturer with 3-inch sides can be quite sexy (as in erotic leading to arousal) but especially so for a guy who has never worn one before. This is the heart of all that relating to guys being scared to wear ANY swim brief in public. How does a guy control his “urges” that he knows he will have just getting his body inside a standard swim brief? This terrifies a lot of guys. It is also a source of pure delight in a good not a bad way, but somehow it is often difficult to separate the terror from the sheer pleasure.

So, guys wearing standard swim briefs in a public situation, say at a swimming pool, somehow learn to get their urges under control, and at some point end up in a situation mentally and physically where they no longer worry that the urge to ejaculate will overwhelm in a public or even a semi-public (guy’s locker room) situation.

Still, at this point a guy may still be thinking that that slick feeling swim brief would be way more fun to masturbate in than by traditional ways. Not long after, the so called “urge to downsize” sets in.

For now, at least, downsizing does not mean finding a brief in a different skimpier style from a different manufacturer. Downsizing merely means buying a brief a couple inches smaller in the waist than the current one. Let’s say a guy’s first swim brief has a 32-inch waist. Downsizing might mean buying one with a waist size 2 inches smaller, or 30 inches. Even more daring might be a 28-inch waist for a guy who thinks of himself as a 32.

Lycra-blend fabrics are wonderful in that they are able to stretch a lot. That means that a guy who ordinarily would war garments with a 32-inch waist can pretty easily get into something smaller, perhaps much smaller. A smaller waist size means the entire brief is cut smaller overall. But it will stretch. A 32-inch brief has a certain amount of space to accommodate a guy’s male organs. As the waist size decreases, this space will become, well, snugger. Not that the fabric wont stretch, it will, but as the waist size gets smaller the fabric will need to fit snugger over a guy’s sensitive body parts. Some guys might be in agony over this, but the snug fit in the groin is actually part of the fun.

And the sides of the brief, being stretched horizontally, will look as if they have become narrower (OK, and they also are in part because a 3-inch side probably for a nominal 32-inch waist, and a 28 inch brief will be below 3 inches. Plus the brief with the smaller waist is going to provide a snugger fit on the buttocks.

So, all of this downsizing can be fun in a very “special way” for guys who are so inclined. The fun part comes if coach REQUIRES the swim team to downsize for a big meet on the grounds that a smaller suit means a faster time. This could cause some significant “apprehension” for some team members. Too, the outline of a guy’s gonads is going to be more obvious in the downsized brief, which provides less “room to grow.” All of this can be a bit disconcerting, but especially so if the guy is not that confident about his abilities at ejaculatory control.

So, let’s assume that Dylan nominally has a 32-inch waist. That would mean that normally he would probably want to choose a swim brief with a 30-inch waist. But a first level of downsizing for Dylan would be a 28-inch brief. Depending on his “curiosity” about all of this, he might try a 26-inch brief of the same style, and if he is really adventuresome, he probably could squeeze himself into a 24-inch brief.

What happens after all the tugging and squeezing is completely up to Dylan. Tucked in like that both Dylan’s brain and body will quickly be working overtime, I can assure Dylan that he is going to enjoy himself immensely just getting himself into this special place.
