We become sensitive about our bodies at puberty when we start to have unexpected and possibly embarrassing errections. Having an errection in the school showers or in speedos could result in bullying or homophobia so it's best to keep everything hidden.
After puberty guys start to make unrealistic boasts about the size of their cocks knowing that they'll not be called on to prove it. They avoid wearing speedos or other skin tight clothing as it would reveal their true bulge status.
In the showers when we look down at ourselves we appear smaller than the guy we look across at in the next stall although we are both about average. So unless we are actually huge we'll always feel insufficient.
The campaign by women for the "new man" was for a gentle, emasculated man that they could control, what the women actually wanted was a real man to make babies with and a "new man" to bring up the children. Ordinary men in speedos with average bulges offended their sence of decency and they shouted "Think of the children !" of course the younger children didn't care and those going through puberty needed to know what they were becoming and without being able to see real men in brief swim wear turned to unrealistic porn.
