why do hot guys wear 3-4 inch speedos?

The linked swimsuit reminds me of the nylon suits from high school but less on the sides. Also reminds me of the 100% Morona(sp) bikini underwear Target used to sell.

Byron: The nylon suits are great =light weight and very fast drying as opposed to some. This is also true of short short boxer trunks. When I wear the trunks I use a jock or thong. I do not wear briefs for work or hanging out especially if I'm in rough sailing weather on a hot day. I have to have pockets for tools and on the docks too. I find that briefs chafe the groin area in hot weather so I wear loose fitting boxers to keep my junk cool. I will at times for a motorcycle run wear briefs under shorts so I can take a swim in a pond etc. while en route on a hot day. I just remount and run with the suit until it dries which doesnt take long- pull off and continue on commando. Just spread your legs and let in the breeze

Wow - the swimming/biking/drying/commando sequence brings back youthful memories - though in my case I had the pedalling kind of bike , so not quite the same exhiliration I guess (not to mention so few suitable (pun intended) days available in the summer in our climate).
Speaking of which I am curious about bikers and their gear when riding in a hot-weather state like CA. From what little I have seen from movies they would likely get very warm and uncomfortable if fully leathered-up - or does speed alone provide the required ventilation?

Byron: California is a big long state-a big range of temps. Leathers protect the body-even from the heat of the bike engine-great to put on chaps bareass and ride the seat over a towel, For leather guys just put the gear over your upper body with no other clothes. The most comfortable suit all round for me is a Gazell-100% cotton-not made any more damit. I also had some onion skins from IM but were stolen out of my locker and I later saw a guy working out wearing them! Did'nt quite dare to say anything in the busy gym besides he looked great in them.

Byron, wow, just new to this thread and I'm way impressed with the pictures you posted throughout, as well as turning me on to yet another Australian manufacture of hot swimwear! You're a wellspring of knowledge (and hot tumbler pictures!)

As far as the original post, I think the two gents in their wider side seamed suits look perfectly hot. Sometimes it's nice to show a little less skin! Depending on the guy's definition, his butt or abs, it could even be a more flattering cut. My boyfriend doesn't really think he looks good in anything with less than a 2" side seam. He finds it cuts him weird across the back. The larger side seam hits him at his narrowest spot and makes him look leaner. So there is that!

Yes, the little differences can make a big difference and although it is worth the occasional experimentation I am sure many members will know what suits them best and decide they are happier with their favorite xxxxx.
I would think for example that there are not many fans of sungas on the forum but a Brazilian guy on the beach with the right body and just the right cut of his suit can look stunning.
As for pics., often difficult to find something a little out of the ordinary. There are millions out there for all to see but I would like all those contributors not to do so much reblogging (I end up saying "seen that" so often I sound like a parrot*).

*(off topic): I was always surprised that the Monty Python series went down quite well in the US so does anyone remember the parrot sketch? (the deceased Norwegian Blue with beautiful plumage)

Yeah, you do sort of find your favorites, eh? Although I like just about anything. Still, I definitely prefer a full cut back or a thong. Just not sure my bum is muscled enough to pull off those odd angles that cut directly across the cheeks or slightly above or blah, blah, blah. So many options!

Right now it seems Andrew Christian is a huge rage in gay America. It seems most of the 20somethings own at least one pair!
Personally, I don't like how it toucans one's anatomy in the front. Maybe I'm more a purist and like a classic, streamlined, athletic bulge. (For myself, of course. If a gent is sporting a toucan in the front, I'll still look!)

Unfortunately I don't remember the parrot sketch. Although I can't hear the word "shrubbery" without thinking of MP.
