First time swim brief, in public

[David_NC]

We are half way thru our beach vacation and I couldn’t wait to post. Arrived Sunday and unpacked, headed to the beach on Monday. In my usual swim brief under my swim shorts. Around 4 the family headed back to the room. The beach was semi empty and I said to myself it is now or never. I slipped off my swim shorts and sat in my chair in just a swim brief. It felt amazing to have the breeze on my thighs. I was nervous and didn’t last more than 20 minutes but it was a start. Tuesday rolled around, slipped on a Todd Sanfield swim brief under my shorts. I told my wife I should just wear these, she said yeah but you won’t. We headed down to the beach. After 20 minutes, I said do it - I slipped off the shorts and sat there in my briefs. I was very nervous and my wife smiled and said I can’t believe it, you who won’t even take a shirt off. Stayed in just the briefs for over 2 hours. Even sat in the sand with my kids playing. No one said anything. I did eventually put the shorts back on to walk the beach. Both kids asked why is daddy in his underwear, my wife and I both explained they are called a swim brief or speedo. My son asked if other guys wear them I said not around here unfortunately. Rolling into Wednesday the beach was a little busier, I couldn’t do it. Then finally after an hour I said go for it. And slipped the shorts off and sat in a chair next to the ocean with my wife in just my swim briefs. In fact, even as I write this I am sitting in my Sluggers swim brief, in a chair under my umbrella on the beach. Feeling the cool breeze across my thighs. I love this feeling. We are expecting some rain the next two days so I don’t know how much beach time I’ll get. But fingers crossed i’ll be in a swim brief again.

That's is awesome David! I am sure it was super liberating. I still haven't worn my swim briefs by themselves yet. Not to many opportunities this year, though I am heading to lake Michigan next week and I will have to pack my ts micro and low tide swim briefs . Hope I can be brave enough to drop the board shorts and just wear the briefs.

Good for you, David! I'm so proud of you! Board shorts are a pain, but good for a cover-up to and from the beach I suppose. Keep rocking them on the beach...eventually it becomes second nature and a given that you will!

You're opening a whole new world. Most people don't care or won't say anything. Enjoy your time at the beach.

Way to go, David!

Next vacation, I'm going to rock briefs in public, too. This forum is great for boosting confidence, thanks guys!

David, that is a wonderful beginning to a more secure self image. You may find the more you wear swim briefs/Speedos/bikini style swimwear the less other people care. I encourage you to continue to wear what pleases you.

I’m currently sitting on a Lake Michigan beach wearing a swim thong. No one seems to care. There isn’t another man in sight wearing anything other than board shorts. There are a few women with cheeky bikinis, no true thongs.

For everyone, Rock your bikini/thong/ brief.
