The 1" Speedo Solar has a front seam, it is therefore a pouched suit, the rear appears to be 3/4 coverage. This makes it qualify as "the skimpy little thing that body builders pose in and gay guys prance around in trying to look cute."

The Speedo Swim Thong has a front seam and is of course pouched, it is "the skimpy little thing that body builders pose in and gay guys prance around in trying to look cute." and Speedo made it.

For white Speedos just look at these :

One buyer said "The only problem I first noticed was how obvious "the bulge" was. Part of the trick is to not pull them right up, just have them on to where the widest part of your hips are and then it doesn't look like you are smuggling something into the pool."

Then there is always Japanese Speedo which represents everything you dislike:

Limiting yourself to the Speedo brand seems extreme as there are many other men's swimwear brands making perfectly good briefs of 2" European, 3" American and even 5" cuts.

Wearing 1" swim bikini or a swim thong on a quiet sunny beach is not a "gay" thing, just a desire to feel free and have minimal tan lines.

Totally agree, torch. I’m not much of a swimmer and more of a sun worshipper, but I wear a variety of styles depending on the pool/beach/lake I’m hanging out at. Nothing to do with my own personal hang ups, just respect the fact that my neighbors probably don’t want to see me strutting around in a thong. Plus I figure if I’m wearing something more conservative, the odds of converting one of these knee-baggers is higher, but we’ll see.

My moment of "bulge" concern came at about age seven. That is the age that children develop inhibitions about nudity and I was no different. I suddenly realised my dick was on display when other shorts wearing boys started teasing me about it.
I told my mother I wanted to wear shorts but she said no. I was still at an age where my mother could tell me how to dress and she made me wear briefs every time I went swimming. She thought that being embarrassed about the "bulge" was childish behaviour and I would soon grow out of it.
It she was correct because within a few months I was completely comfortable showing my "bulge" and my anti brief phase disappeared never to return.
If my mother had caved in and let me wear shorts I would probably never worn briefs again but instead she had the opposite effect because in her efforts to persuade me to wear briefs she often told me how much she enjoyed wearing just a bikini.
She wanted a boy who was comfortable in a small swimsuit but instead she created a boy who loved small swimsuits.

Fairfax, I grew up sort of the opposite, liking small briefs from the start. However, it too, was my mom that encouraged the notion. As a result
I have worn only briefs thru the years based on the style, material, and fit for that time. Glad you grew into the confidence you have today and wear your briefs with pride.

Those twin bulges up top in women's one and two-piece swimsuits have bothered me also, ever since I was about 13.

I would like to think that a woman viewing a man's bulge would be as sensual to her as a man feels viewing a woman's mound. These components of our bodies is tied to sexual stimuli in the brain, soliciting attraction to each other. Of course, the breast of a woman and butt cheeks of both genders do the same thing, naturally. Obviously, a gay man would be excited to view another man's bulge. This has happened to me through the years and once I indicated I was straight, the conversation moved to other things.

I guess I select my bikini cut to give what I call best presentation of both assets,,, no pun intended!!! And I have never had a woman complain about my attire.

I think the supposition that women enjoy seeing a mans bulge (or details) is very dependent upon the woman, individually. Some women do not like it, and some are turned on by it. There is a definite double standard which is alive and well in the US and probably other places as well. Women tend to be more turned on by the emotional side than the physical side from what I can tell.

I agree; but the point SHOULD be that not everyone needs to be turned out by something for it to be ok to wear functional swimwear while having male anatomy. There is often a false dichotomy constructed where our bodies are either "hot" or "disgusting." Even if our bulge isn't turning anyone on doesn't mean it is wrong for it to be visible.

There are so many brief swimsuit brands nowadays that place emphasis on bulge enhancing swimwear. I think it's a draw to guys regardless of sexuality because they either want to feel sexy and show off what they have or to try to attract other mates.

For me, there's definitely some attraction to showing off my own bulge. I never make it obvious in public settings, but I have some bikinis that are made to enhance the bulge. I guess I like to impress myself that I can have an amazing bulge like some kind of swimwear model.

While I don't wear swimwear that enhances the bulge much in public settings, I never try to hide any bulge that I have either. I'm a man, there's gonna be something there and that's just the way it is. I do have a little bit of a fantasy though of going to an exotic island somewhere and wearing a suit that really shows off the goods.
