What Is It About the Bulge

In fact, I've seen some jammers that have an obvious "pouch" in the groin area that's the equivalent of saying "Guess What's Under Here!!!".

Interesting because once I tried on a pair of jammers and felt nothing but uncomfortable compression. If anyone knows of the brand with a pouch please post it, I would wear them more for the personal thrill not fore swimming.

Backed up by your picture in the color of the month challenge!
Although that suit may be the smallest one at the pool, it looks “right” and appropriate.

Thank you for the kind compliment. Yes, at the local YMCA which is frequented by mostly elderly and moms with kids in the afternoon, I do take the prize for smallest suit. However, nobody has ever made a remark or given me an un-approving look, so I enjoy the pool, my brief, and my body. And an occasional conversation with members in the pool area is a plus.

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.

Interesting societal perspective, Torch. Having grown up in a brief-normal swim setting all my life, I never considered the paradigm shift the Feminist movement had on how women see men. Perhaps my fascination with the brief and resulting bulge was more of a personal thing and a topic several of us have an opinion on. That's what makes a blog fun. I have seen the design of suits over the years go from a universal no-pouch flattening design to a accentuating pouch that puts you front and center. Does give us Speedo lovers a wide selection on how to present the bulge. I like many of us are actually somewhat conservative and thus my selection of suit design, Seems the Neptune Scepter medium pouch design gives me the expression I want without embarrassing the mom and her little tykes.

I should be visiting the Florida area possibly this year and cant wait to go swimming in my swim briefs, I generally no longer care and its been a long time as my fitness is more important than what some insecure woman/bloke thinks

[lapswimmer]

I would think Florida would be a very Speedo friendly state, especially in the beach areas. Where do you live now, Chris? Here in central Texas, brief suits are hardly a second look at the pool. I hope your vacation is relaxing and fun in your brief.

Whatever the man get, should be happy with it.

I dug up this old thread to pose, no pun intended, a slant on the topic. What is your preferred presentation in tight swimwear? Many styles today want to pronounce the penis and some offer varying pouch size to do so. I have two suits with completely different presentations. I swim laps in the more modest suit that simply shows a mound with no specific outline. The other is a thong with penis pouch which kits my anatomy okay, but is not suitable for athletic use. When you reply, it would be nice to see your own example of what you like.
