Wearing a T-shirt for men is good. Women don't necessarily want to look at your beer gut--or the opposite--your scrawny chest.

As for the bottoms, I prefer loose swim shorts on men--and not too short. Speedos make me embarrassed. If a guy feels a need to "show his stuff" in a tight bathing suit, I figure he has his underwear stuffed in there, too, to hide his "shortcomings." :lol4:

It depends on if I'm alone or not as to whether I wear a shirt, because I am horribly ashamed of my stomach hanging everywhere. My trunks are actually longer shorts than my shorts are! :)

Get a one piece and wear some cheap mesh shorts over it, would be my personal recommendation.

I'm fine with a modest one piece, but with all due respect from an aestetic perspective that particular suit makes me think of a nighty.

Those skirt bathing suits look just like a nighty for hubby in the bedroom. And who would wear that in public? This boggles my mind... :idontknow:

The second one looks fine to me, but the first one sort of looks like a nighty to me. I'm sorry if that offends anyone.

question to add on to this thread....

Is the answer to Modesty really only putting more clothes on?

Lots of tones of Puritanicalism, I feel like are running through this thread....

That said, I will never wear a bikini. I wore a tankini when I was young, and then switched to a one piece when I hit puberty.

1) I'll never understand how so many women have flat stomachs. I've never had one, even when I was a kid. And I'm barely 100 lbs.
2) I don't feel comfortable exposing so much skin.
3) I want to protect men.

[i]At the same time[/i], I know tons of men who are aroused by women in a one piece. That scares me. I feel dirty when I go to the beach, and I shouldn't have to -- especially given I make it a point to be modest.

The sad truth is that a lot of men are going to lust after us no matter what we wear.

It doesn't look like one on, though. I fail to see how one pieces look like nighties. Sometimes I do wish they provided more leg coverage, but the ones I buy have full coverage of the torso and chest. They are also full coverage brief like bottoms. Nighties are much more skimpy and often have lace and mesh. They are see through whereas the suit I wear are not.

I try not to be so scrupulous about these things. Bikinis are one thing, but I would much rather see more women in a modest one piece. It doesn't need to be taken to the extreme unless the individual person prefers to wear a body suit. ;)

I think this is nice. I feel like the black might add to the "nighty" image some are suggesting, but really, everything is covered and it's very feminine. :)

It's made very well. It's by Maxine of Hollywood. It's very comfortable to wear and slenderizing. :like:

The word slenderizing reminds me of "tenderizing." I am now picturing a steak.

The fact that it's a black swimsuit definitely helps, but there are slenderizing panels sewn into the swimdress. In fact, in the torso, there's a layer of mesh next to the skin that acts as a kind of girdle, but it's very comfortable. It just makes a bit difficult to get back on once the swimsuit is wet. :rolleyes:

Red...that link doesn't work. If you click it and then read the URL really closely, you'll notice it says "blue coagulated milk sauce." The fil-ter messed it up! :rotfl:

I think I almost peed my pantaloons laughing.

Okies. Makes sense.

reading through this thread is like listening to people complain about the fuel economy of their yachts. In that this is all problems i really have never had and cant really understand.


I am definitely a "fullblooded" guy, but i cant say i really think about any of this stuff. reading this thread i get the impression that the ladies are seeing guys slobbering and masturbating staring at them(admittedly,not a pleasant image) and that the hypothetical guys who are concerned about chastity have to run a gauntlet of ravenous succubi just to get to the water.

Am i the only one who just goes to the beach and swims?

sometimes i will go "oh, she is pretty" or "lol that guy should probably go up a size or three in the shorts department" but generally i just go swimming.
