The vision of Chris Christie in a Speedo might inspire the NJ legislature to ban them for everyone. But there's a happy medium between racing briefs and ankle length male burkas. I've got a pair of swim shorts that are liner-free (like board shorts, so you can wear a Speedo under) with a 5" inseam that are practical for a poolside BBQ where hanging out (literally) in a Speedo would be a bit too much.
It was a lot more fun a few years ago when Speedos were considered to be bold but acceptable generic beach wear. Now you practically need to be wearing your Olympic medal to show up in one anywhere but a lap pool.
