That is about women not liking their partners showing off too much. Not to mention those who have fat partners (automatically "no" reply to briefs due to that fact).
Proper poll would be - do women prefer seeing other/random men on the beach in briefs or not :)

no, i'm not claiming that. i'm claiming there's no reason that board shorts won out over briefs. if you watch ww2 Navy documentaries and such, you'll see that they swam and trained in swimming briefs. we don't have a problem with them. some clown made a snarky comment about them being gay at some point in time and that comment took off and it stuck.

Now this has much more "dass gay" effect than swimming briefs for sure :1orglaugh

Now that is a very interesting post. I completely agree about that clown making a comment. Just wanted to find out more about when/who etc :)

And this post is interesting because I am not sure if you are correct about "we don't have a problem with them". Judging by most of the posts in this thread :)
Maybe it proves power of sheep mentality - one clown made a comment and the herd followed.

i mean we don't have a problem with them inherently. only due to the epithet of the biased view. i also think that women have a lot to do with it and that's why i thought that article on UK women not liking them is revealing. if women don't like them on men, then it stands to reason that the biased view combined with women not liking them on men led to board shorts becoming more ubiquitous.

Gotta say the homophobia on a porn business forum is amazing.

and really if shorts add drowning effect maybe you shouldn't go in the water cause you clearly can't swim very well. I grew up on the lake since I was like 8 and I've water skied since I was 12. I've never come close to drowning cause of my shorts other than the time a ski hit me in the head as I wiped out and almost knocked me out..
