That is what I am talking about.
I have seen a few pools in Europe where they have specific signs saying NO to the shorts. And YES to only briefs + square cuts (the ones I posted as my favorites).
I found an interesting article about "Freudian fear of showing off their junk":
Men in Speedos: American men need to get over their fear of wearing swim briefs.
Also one quote from that article regarding shorts:

My primary motivation is, in fact, safety. Dudes are getting waterlogged, and dudes are sinking. In the course of my far-from-extensive research, I spoke to legendary West Coast swimwear magnate Mr. Turk. He shares my conviction that ?board-shorts aficionados are drowning because their swimsuits are so voluminous.? A California lifeguard pal of Turk?s has been obliged, on more than one occasion, ?to pull guys out of the surf because they get tangled up in huge baggy shorts.?

Not to mention all the drag from the water you "carry" wearing those shorts.
