    Board shorts are SEXY!!!!!!!

    I don't care how good of shape you're in, speedos are gross. I don't want the outline of a guy's junk.

    Board shorts if you don't care about performance.

    Jammers if you're an actual athlete or you take your swimming seriously.

    Can someone please post a pic of trunks, because when I google it I get what looks a lot like board shorts. What is the difference?

    Length. Trunks are more akin to boxers and generally have an elastic waist. Board shorts are longer and closer to the knee, either to the knee or just above it. And they're called board shorts because they were originally worn by surfers. Surfers prefer the longer length because it protects the back of the legs from sun exposure, skin rubbing against the board, and the shorts don't wear out from the friction of surfing. And in Florida, the wet suit is only usable a couple months out of the year. The water and sun here are too warm.

    Jammers are hot if you're built like Daniel Craig, but keep them in the water. If you're on the beach, put on the shorts.

    On ebay, looking for board shorts right now.. I'm going to be a better staple at the beach this summer than the beach blanket.
    Just be aware of who is checking you out...you might not like some of the attention.

    I was on swim team ALL throughout childhood and my teens, so I was surrounded by speedos. Not really a fan lol. Stick with the swim trunks!

    I'm partial to just board shorts. If you're not an Olympic swimmer, that's your best choice.

    Wear what you want and own it.

    this....

    btw can someone explain the difference between trunks and speedos*? I'm British and I always thought speedos were a kind of swimming trunks?? the other alternative being swimming shorts of various length.

    I actually do not get the obsession with board shorts. Surely they have way too much material for swimming comfortably? Some of them come down past the guys knees! And then when they get wet I often see young guys- who are just straight sticks really-having to yank them up at the back. What is good looking about pale *kitten* cheeks coming out the back of a pair of shorts? Lol.

    It must be the european in me, but i prefer the square-type speedos peopel have posted up. Not the full high-leg banana hammock, but something in between.

    If you look this good, it really doesn't matter which option you go for:

    Though my preference is for far left.
    i think they all skipped leg day
    except maybe the one on the riiight..

    Boardshorts hanging just a tad too low on the hips... VERY HOT.

    Even on a very fit, muscular guy, speedos are just not attractive.

    I like my 3/4 length swim pants. They are sexy but still leave something to the imagination.

    The orange one is not a "speedo"... I'd go for trunks, maybe a bit loose on the waist so you can show off your tan line... yum!

    Hubby and I swim in the buff. The joy of having our own pool is never having to go swimsuit shopping!

    interesting. Looks like 1/2 of women or More like boardshorts. Why is that? Guys like girls in small bikinis, would have thought girls would have liked men in smaller suits?
