What to wear?

On Fitness and Briefs, Worldwide

In the United States, we have long engaged in endless debates as to whether or not it was appropriate for any American to appear in public in a swim brief, and if so, under what circumstances might this be appropriate. I have been watching local TV news reports relating to high school swim meets in part to determine if in recent years swim briefs have made a comeback or not. My general conclusion is that at these meets, nowadays, anywhere from 30-50 percent of the school-age male swimmers nowadays are wearing briefs not jammers, but this is up from a zero percentage maybe as recently as a decade ago. Still, in the US it is rare to see a guy wearing a swim brief in public outside of a competitive swim meet situation. And the guys at swim meets generally are wearing somber black briefs.

Interestingly, once you get on short Reels videos created on Tik Tok and other video sites, guys showing themselves off in the videos wearing a swim brief are quite commonplace. Generally, the guys in these videos are in their late teens and early to mid 20s, and are quite trim and fit, though not muscular to the degree a competitive bodybuilder would be. Everyone has an image of a bodybuilder wearing a very skimpy brief designed to show off his muscles. In the Reels videos, the briefs tend to be snug-fitting, but not really skimpy.

Another “feature” I notice in these videos is that they often are made of guys located not in the US but in some part of Asia. In particular, there are many videos made from contests held in the Philippines, and involve contests with maybe 15 or 20 Filipino men that appear to be typically in their late teens or early 20s. In at least some of these videos all the men appear to be wearing identical swim briefs with the same cut and color. For example, in one of these videos, all the guys are wearing the exact same brief (maybe varying only by size) in a bright yellow color. So, there are twenty fit guys showing their bodies off in front of an audience.

The videos do not pan over the audience, and I keep wondering if the audience is mostly female, mostly male, or more or less evenly divided. Apparently, these contests draw a sizable audience, or there would be no reason to do them. It also strikes me that these guys have no issue whatsoever about being seen in public in a skimpy brief. But there are lots and lots of guys who individually post photos of themselves in reels-style videos, the videos would not be considered pornographic though invariably they show a nice bulge in the groin area.

As part of growing up, I was always fascinated by how and the circumstances under which an erection happens, but this quickly evolves into questions relating to how other guys cope with a situation whereby an erection is beginning, and such a thing might quickly occur when a guy pulls on a snug-fitting brief of any sort be the brief be underwear or designed for swimming. In the Filipino videos, there are 15 or more guys all in tight-fitting briefs and all showing a significant bulge in the pouch area of the briefs, but not TOO significant.

In the US, it used to be that females held bathing beauty contests, in which 15 or 20 women clad in skimpy bikinis would stand on stage to be judged by designated judges and evaluated by the audience. In the big contests, such as the Miss America contest, there was the interview where the contestant had to answer questions from the judges, the talent event, where the contestant presented some unique talent, the evening-gown competition, and the bathing-suit competition. But the bathing suit competition was eliminated some years ago in the quest to be “politically correct” nowadays.

In these contests in the Philippines and probably other places young men are doing something very similar to what the contestant females no longer are willing to do. And the young men are not being judged based or brains or talents, but only on their bodies. The guys have bulges in different places than the females, but they are bulges nonetheless.

What all of this says about the various cultures in different parts of the world is most interesting. I doubt that neither Filipino women nor women from many other parts of Asia complain that the men in these contests are simply showing “too much”, nor do the men participating in these contests worry that they are showing too much or they would not be participating in these contests at all. Part of the fun for each contestant is to see how the other contestants are able to cope with the situation. But also, from a very early age realizing that there is nothing inherently wrong or bad about being in public wearing a skimpy brief and indeed all of this is very normal. Americans seem to still be hung up on the idea that any guy wearing a brief in public is “likely gay” which of course is not the case, but this acts as a deterrent for guys who would like to wear briefs in public in the US.

Will that one fit tight enough for you?

I learned that wearing clothing that fit very snug in the groin at a very early age, and as I grew older my fascination with the idea only increased. I soon began wondering if other guys my age were experiencing some of the same, but was too shy to ever raise the subject.

Lots of things have changed over a long period of time. Tight-fitting swim briefs have gone in and out of fashion and then back in again with American guys and to a perhaps lesser degree even with guys in Europe. The Asian guys seem to have never gone through these changes at all. For most Asian males, this never really happened, and a skimpy swim brief has consistently been the go-to swimwear for lots of Asian guys. I do not think there was ever a point when Asian guys believed that wearing a swim brief was somehow only linked to being gay. Instead, even a very skimpy brief was just ordinary swimwear.

There have been some developments in recent years that are important. Tik Tok occurred and attracted a lot of guys who got to see firsthand over and over what the Asian guys are wearing. The cell phone- style videos frequently show guys in swim briefs or even skimpier swimwear, and the American guys watching these videos are starting to say that since this is just normal swimwear for these Asians not some “clue” that the guy is gay, why should the US be different in that regard. Females too are seeing that the swim brief clad guys in the videos are not concerned with the whole idea that they may somehow “look” gay, and it is perfectly OK for a to admire not get upset seeing a guy wearing a swim brief. This to a certain degree means that the anger some women traditionally have shown on seeing a guy in a swim brief is, quite frankly, silly. If Asian women are comfortable seeing a guy in a swim brief why should American women be completely OK with the same thing?

In short, these Reels-style videos have become really popular with both American guys and women watching them, and the earth has not quit spinning on its axis.

I am seeing more and more swim teams at the high school and college level wearing swim briefs in competition, a trend that accelerated starting only a few years ago. What is often now the case, the coach gives each swimmer the opportunity to wear either a jammer or a brief, and increasing numbers of these swimmers are now again choosing a brief, and not fearing the idea that because a brief is chosen, someone will tease them for being gay. This is just normal swimwear.

Serious competitive male swimmers have long worn briefs since Speedo “invented” the style. Mark Spitz wore the style of the times which was a brief with wide sides. Then in the 70s, the serious swimmers seemed to be vying for a suit that fit the tightest and had the narrowest sides possible, but in particular the European swimmers in the big international competitions.

Then all of that “downsizing” suddenly stopped, and the guys started wearing much longer but still snug-fitting jammers as the manufacturers started claiming that cloth was slicker than skin. This ended up with the full body suits that fit so tight they took great effort to get into and lots if time before the swim as well.

Then all of that was made illegal by the competitive swim organizations, and guys went back to conventional jammers as the “universal” swimwear for men, perhaps made from a slick, super expensive cloth costing $500 for a suit that worn only a few times.

Now we are back to a situation whereby if you watch any competition taking place in the US you currently will see a mix of jammers and briefs on the male swimmers. I sense that the really expensive slick cloth jammers have not reduced times for most swimmers in a significant way.

But the Tik Tok and other reels-style videos are having a big impact in the US, where the guys see that wearing a swim brief is just the normal thing for the Asian guys to do, not any “statement” of any sort with respect to the guy’s sexuality.

I only hope this newfound trend will continue. I still “enjoy” wearing a swim brief even though I have never been a competitive swimmer. A snug-fitting fit always feels good and I recommend this experience highly.

It’s Thonging Time!

In the winter, as the days become shorter, I have long gone into a mode in which I take a “vacation” from feeling horny. This can go on for months, where I simply avoid doing anything that would arouse me, psychologically or physically. But then, with the warming temperatures and the lengthening days, all of a sudden, I start feeling “better” as the spring leading into early summer suddenly causes me to think about the place “down there”

I have no idea if other guys experience the same phenomenon. All I know is I got up this morning not thinking about getting horny at all, but then at some point I suddenly do. And this is not a subtle effect. All of a sudden, I get interested in finding something in my collection of items that is, well, highly stimulating!

All of my readers know that in this regard, I am a big fan of underwear thongs. Not just any thong, mind you, and certainly not the kind that you could readily forget that you are wearing. What fun is a thong that is so big and loose-fitting that you do not even realize you are wearing a thong? To me, that just defeats the entire purpose of wearing one. The perfect thong instead is one that is, well, significantly undersized with a snug-fitting pouch that is tight enough so that it is able to hold my flaccid penis in any position I think might be fun—not only down, but up and even sideways.

And the back, actually the cord back! The cord back needs to be narrow enough so that it fits easily between the glutes while tugging on the pouch at the same time. You know, every step you take gives that unique sensation of the thong becoming part of your body. Just thinking about dealing with that makes me drip. With just a bit of effort, I am in full-blown horny mode, a place I have not really been since last fall, would you believe. A basic rule is that the longer you delay getting horny, the more fun the situation you are in once you do feel horny will be. There are lots of videos where guys claim that they have gone for some time without having and orgasm and this will make the orgasm that much more exciting if and when it does happen. Guys who brag about having an orgasm every day (or even more frequently than that) are actually missing out on a lot of the fun that is readily available to them by going into what I refer to as the “delay, delay” mode. Maybe a delay of a few months is too long, but you get the idea of what I am telling you.

The thong I have selected today has a terrific fit and feel. An old=school thong design that has a really snug pouch and a cord back that crawls up into all the particularly sensitive places. Of course, I cannot just stop there. Why not top the thong with an equally old-school jock strap, one that is at least 2 and maybe 3 sizes too small, just big enough to fit around my waist with a lot of stretching and pulling of the wide, rubbery waist band? My penis is pointed up inside the thong pouch and cannot move from the upward position in the rubberized strap pouch. This is, well, great fun. The thong cord has been crawling between my glutes all morning long, and is feeling really super good.

But I cannot spend the entire day wearing only a thong and strap. I must be, well, presentable should anyone drop in. That is where the compression tights come in. These are an older pair of Russell ones, size SM. The tights and a black compression tee go on. The fit and feel of these tights and tee provide a final kick and ensure that I will be in horny heaven for the entire day! It's time for my readers to celebrate these upcoming warm months by finding their own what to wear items! I like it! I like it! It’s TIGHT in there!

Summer is Here!

It’s funny. During the cold weather months, I have almost invariably sleeping in a pair of snug-fitting running tights and usually, a long-sleeved compression tee. We have had a cold spring here and this gear took me well into May. Normally I like to wear a brief of some sort under the compression tights as well.

But the temperatures have been warming quickly in recent days, so the running tights got replaced with compression shorts. Still, last night was quite warm, even though I had switched on the central air conditioning for the season. Indeed, last night was the first night of Speedo wear. Actually I started with a favorite black “store brand” Euro brief and slept in that till about 3 AM. I awoke at 3 AM feeling pretty horny still. I had been “messing around” earlier in the evening employing a combination of tools on my penis. I had started with my pair of overly-tight Speedo briefs I have been complaining about because the fabric lacks stretch. It turns out that sometimes these can still yield some interesting results, as in old-school penis play. I followed that up with a bit of estim. Then its time to put the penis pump on, ready with a heavy-duty penis ring to snap on once I pump the size up with the vacuum. The pump comes off, but by that point the heavy-duty ring is in place, and I am feeling quite OK.

Just for good measure, I snap on two more rings, a blue one in the middle and another beaded one that feels great around the glans. Time to crawl into the warm tub, as I had been filling water in ever since I got out of the tube of the vacuum pump. At this point, I am feeling much better, and whatever cares or concerns I had before doing this have evaporated. Of course, despite all of this I have not had an orgasm.

Time for bed, pulling on the black Euro brief. It feels really nice down there, whatever “it” is. The brief holds my penis securely in its grasp. I quickly fall asleep in this aroused state. If I have any difficulty falling asleep, I play some more with the brief in place, and that quickly puts me to sleep in an aroused state supported by the tugs from the tight-fitting black brief.

So, I wake up at 3 AM and say to myself that I am still feeling way horny and there is no reason I cannot “tolerate” something even snugger. I soon find another swim brief that is even snugger with a much narrower tho not thong-sized back and narrower sides too. I pull the black brief off and slip the lime green one on. Yup! That feels even better! I quickly fall back asleep.

I wake up this morning still feeling way horny but without having an orgasm. I have discovered that staying in an aroused state without an orgasm actually helps me to write these stories. I pull on a snug fitting Tyr Jammer for today’s wear. The fit is so snug that it keeps me in an aroused state and will continue to do so throughout much of the day. The key to having an enjoyable time is determining what works for you to keep you aroused but delay the orgasm. Delay! Delay! Delay! is a big key to having fun. But the other thing you will need is a collection of different snug-fitting swim briefs!

Summer is here and these treats are available for every guy to take advantage of and enjoy!
