Slightly off topic, but underwearphil's post brought back a memory. As part of my grandmother's estate, I came into several boxes of back issues of "National Geographic." I was in high school. and still working on grasping my sexual orientation. Anyhow, I found myself constantly coming back to the issues that had photos of men in brief swimwear (And there were quite a few in the issues from the mid-1980s). I think that was the point when I realized that I am most assuredly not straight.

The ongoing mystery of why men's swimwear has gone backwards! I remember seeing a guy in a sexy bikini at the water park in the early 1990s. Some people say that the swim brief is "out of style" and it is "old school". Blame this absurd phenomenon to long basketball shorts, hip-hop culture, baggy fashion, and religious puritans in the USA. I do not care for neither one of them! See attached pics of a USA Beach in the late 1980s. Guys used to show more skin! I also remember the tv show "The Bikini Open" in the early 1990s. The show featured girls and guys in bikinis competing for the best look! The good old days...lol Swim briefs forever!

Take care,

Christian

Here is a link of a clip from 1992. I remember seeing this when I was 13 on either ABC, CBS, or NBC. This clip made me question my sexuality at 13!...lol Those were the good old days!

Those were some great styles from the 80's and 90's. This style comes close to what there was back then.

Quite the pecs there Jock... I still have a 80's Speedo brand mini-suit with 1/2" sides from that time. Sailed the shit out of it on my Catalina 25. I posted it on the board a while back.
