Much better question: Why do we wear swim suits?

They serve no actual purpose except to slow you down in the water and make you stay wet for long periods of time after you get out of the water.

Of course I know the answer is because of some puritanical "modesty" bs, but really there's no reason to wear them.

The same reason we wear clothes in the summer?

Modesty schmodesty. It's all about decency. That 350 pound dude in the nut huggers is bad enough...do you REALLY want to see him in all his glory. **Shudders**

If you're snorkeling, they protect your knob from fish. Also, maybe dudes don't like to show off the scared turtle in cold water? It would also make for some disconcerting Marco-Polo... :D

Swimsuits actually make you more hydrodynamic. Haven't you noticed that women's racing suits are getting more modest instead of less?

Plus, when you are changing and stuff, a lot of pubic hair falls out. Your underwear keeps things neat and tidy.

BTW, if you guys ever watch the tv show "Blind Date" Unsensored, there is a guy who has his boxers TRASHED with brown skid mark crap and his date is giving him a massage and comments on it. I was like OHMIGOSH, that retard didn't have the common sense to wear CLEAN underwear on this show!!!!!
 

Does "we" refer to just the men's club?

I guess I could understand how you would forget the women too when you said "we". This forum is owned by "we"--men! W00t! LOL! :D
