Budgie Smuggler?
With the bathing season just around the corner, I was left with the very difficult choice of selecting what I will be wearing when I hit the beach this summer.
There are loads of different types of male swimwear and I have always kind of gone for the same thing, functional, black and allowing a certain amount of modesty.
My usual choice is for a short board short, as these seem to complement my stocky body and chunky legs, but because I feel slimmer this year I have been looking at other options.
So what’s available out there? Lets start at the beginning, when I was bought my first pair of swim briefs by my mother, branded with the words speedo on the side. When one was young, one could easily wear these and not attract the same kind of revulsion held for the middle aged German, who normally sports a pair of sandals, a beer gut and white socks, all while keeping their genitalia packed in a sliver or electric blue material.
