Gotta Love Those Shorts!!

[tightie]

Heyo, guys!

Just came back from a workout at the local gym this afternoon. Had a great sighting that I am sure a lot of you may have experienced. For the record, I am not a fan of baggy basketball shorts for the obvious reason that they are shapeless and obscure the guy's legs. Not my favorite thing since I am primarily a leg man. However, today was an exception.

I finished changing and went down to the free weights area to start my workout. Not a lot of people at the gym this afternoon as it was about 4:00 p.m. and a Sunday. The gym is on the 3rd floor of an old automobile manufacturing plant, so large picture windows surround the workout areas to bring the light in. Today--even at 4 p.m. the sunlight was bright and covered about a fourth of the free weight area.

I purposely stayed in the shaded area since I didn't want to get a sunburn. A few minutes after my warm-up, a mid-20ish Latino came to the area wearing a fitted grey tank and this huge white baskeball shorts that went all the way down past his knees. Normally, I would not pay any attention to anyone in an outfit like that. But this guy was semi-cute, dark brown skin, with a nice lean-muscled torso and slim lower legs. What really caught my attention was when he moved into the sun lit area and started to work out.

I don't know if he realized that with the sunlight beaming down on him, the white nylon/polyester shorts were practically see-through! More so because of his brown complexion, every outline of his ass and thighs were visible from my side of the room. You know how sometimes one wonders what guys wear under their baggy shorts? Well--what made it even more interesting was the fact that he was wearing only a jockstrap! I could clearly see the white straps outlined against his ass, tracing an angle from his hip down to the bottom of his brown cheeks, forming a nice tight white V angle. Then at certain angles- the white front pouch would show occasionally, pressed against the front of his shorts.

It was specially sexy when he would stand with his back to the windows so that he was facing where I was. I could see his front outlined for my pleasure, with his legs spread slightly to show the white pouch and his brown thighs and legs outlined in his shorts. The "tease" went on for a long while since he stayed in the sunny area the whole time, and I almost broke a sweat (not from the workout since I wasn't really doing anything at that point!!) when he did his tricep exercises by putting one knee on the flat bench which clearly allowed his thin white straps to show through his shorts and a nice round white pouch outlined against his brown thighs. Then he would shift his legs and I would see the outline from another angle.

He finally finished his free weights set and moved into the shaded area to do some leg sets. Which was for the good, I suppose, since I was the one having the heatstroke at that point. I had not done a single set the whole time, and it was almost 5:00 p.m. when he moved away. The only thing that would have been better than this afternoon sighting was if there was a sprinkler problem in the gym and he started to get soaking wet in those same white shorts, cause I know how clingy those things can be. But--maybe next time! :p

Heyo, guys!

Hi tightie;
Great sighting story, ...loved reading it.
I too hate those goddam baggy basketball shorts that seem to be made up of about a dozen queen-size bed sheets!
AND for exactly the same reason as you too, ...primarily that I am a "leg man".
I also hate the way they sag down to the guy's knees and don't display the wonderful shape of a man's butt.....which even women agree is one of a man's very best features!
Thankfully, the excessively humungous ones have gone out of fashion here in Oz, except for a few tragic "wiggers" who think they are in some fake ghetto video shoot.
If Micheal Jordan is responsible for this fad, then he has a lot to answer for.
Have you ever seen these guys try to walk up steps? they have to pull the crutch of their voluminous nether garments up to avoid being hobbled.
Why was it that in the 90's, as women's fashions got briefer and briefer until they were little more than a g-string pulled right up their crevice, men were saddled with wearing enough fabric to clothe a third world country?
Bizarre!

Love to hear of your next "leggy" sighting.

Regards from THE BONDSMAN

i wouold be thrilled if a guy like that is near me...it would really make me horny seeing such crotch... :blowme

[SmoothChris]

I, too, hate them. I can't imagine why men ever wear them, because they look terrible (well, terrible to me, anyway). Even worse, if you ever see someone take theirs off, they have pale thighs all the way to their knees - like dead fish, except that dead fish can't help it...

SmoothChris, those creepy white thighs would have to be one of my MAJOR turn-offs too!
Why do they want to swim in something even baggier than they would wear on the street?

And not only that, how can they possibly swim in those things?? I mean, board surfers may have a legitimate reason: the prevention of chafing on the legs. But everyone else? Oh, come on! I don't care whether you swim in a pool, or whether ocean surf is your preference. If you're going to get wet, less is, well, maybe not more, but it sure makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?

[The Bondsman]

Perhaps they're pretending to be airmen who have ditched at sea and are trying to swim in their opened parachutes? I can think of no other reason.
And how long does all that yardage take to dry?
AND most of them actually wear boxers underneath, .....why??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Well, Bondsman, on my last visit to Palm Springs, I deliberately wore the boxers/board shorts combination you see in my avatar for the sole purpose of posting an avatar absolutely guaranteed to drive you to vexation and annoyance! AND. . . . just for fun, I did go swimming in that interesting ensemble. . . . . And promptly discarded the boxers/board shorts combo. And to answer your question. . . . they never dry. Ever. OK, OK. So I went swimming in that outfit the first afternoon at the resort. I was there for about three days. AND. . . . nothing was COMPLETELY dry until a day or two after I'd returned home!!! I would really prefer not to even think about what an afternoon at the beach in that getup would be like!

...my avatar for the sole purpose of posting an avatar absolutely guaranteed to drive you to vexation and annoyance!
As I have said before, ....to borrow a golfing term; ...it wouldn't be a "drive", ....just a short "putt"!!!
Vexation & annoyance?
My gaydar and underwear detection eguipment has an inbuilt delete function when boxers are detected. And guys, here I am referring to those very loose, garish patterned/plaid baggy-bummed "shorts", ...NOT the very sexy boxer-briefs many of you post here.

Well that confirms my suspicion completely! I have to say that I am TOTALLY amazed that you would actually put yourself through such an ordeal in the name of underwear research, ...or do I detect an influence from another quarter here?

Sitting around in all that cold clammy fabric as your dick gets all shrivelled up isn't exactly MY idea of fun either! Love my AussieBums, ....and old Speedos (when they were made of nylon, NOT lycra). Dry in seconds! And NO white fish-belly thighs!

Now, Bondsman, I'm shocked and appalled that you could possibly impugn motives to me other than the high calling of scientific research! As an underwear specialist, it is my solemn duty to take on those tasks which might sully and corrupt the ordinary laymen. . . even if said task involves the donning of boxers and board shorts. . . . .

AND. . . . as to any advice or influence which MAY or may NOT have been received from "another quarter," well, word from "another quarter" totally confirms my research:

1. It was stipulated that boxers and board shorts do NOT dry readily.

2. It was further stipulated that said combination facilitates the entrance of sand and seaweed into the body's nether regions.

3. It was even stipulated that the dreaded white thigh syndrome is a matter of fact, and not of mere myth;

HOWEVER:

I am advised that the three stipulations, above, however true they may be, must finally yield to the dictates of fashion--yes, even the mere fashion of the moment.

I think I'd rather swim naked.

[Unregistered]

You just THINK you'd rather swim naked? Surely, given the choice, there's no contest?

[JohnH]

Ya got me on that one, unregistered! You're right. There is NO more USELESS a garment ever devised than the so-called "swimsuit" (sneer quotes fully intended!). Yeah, whenever given the choice, I'll opt for full nudity every time!

[SmoothChris]

'Unregistered Guest' was, in fact, me. Not trying to be anonymous - for some reason the system keeps forgetting who I am!

[The Bondsman]

I think I'd rather swim naked.

And I, for one, would rather join you in the same manner!

[SmoothChris]

There must be someone out there, somewhere, who has never swum in the sea or pool, completely naked. Perhaps in some country where the punishment for such an act is so awful that it just isn't worth it. This is for him (or possibly them).
You walk naked down the beach, conscious of the looks. On a nude beach, everyone checks out everyone, and if you are anything but completely soft, they keep looking. You walk into the water, and feel the coolness coming up your legs. Call me anything you like, but by that stage I'm usually half-way hard and all the guys are watching. When the water gets close to your cock you lean forward and let your body surge into the coolness. The sensation of cool water surging around your balls is just exquisite - too good to describe. By then, I'm always hard. You swim, and the sensation of physical freedom has to be experienced to be understood. When it comes to getting back to your towel, you have a straight choice - swim really hard until your erection subsides, or simply walk out of the sea as you are. Don't think they won't be watching, because they will. I confess that on a 'happy clappy' family nude beach I take the first option, but on a proper nude beach it's always a walk up the sand with my cock at least up to half-mast, flop on the towel and lie face-up, hiding nothing. If they don't like the sight of a hard shaved cock drying in the sunshine, they don't have to watch!
If you've never done that, do it soon!

[JohnH]

Chris--thanks SO MUCH for the definitive naked swimming post! You've summed it all up pretty well, and I'm glad that your view of a "proper" nude beach comports well with my own! I once led a group of novice nudists to San Diego's famed Blacks Beach, and was able to convince most of my group to join me in the surf. Strong currents and rip tides didn't prevent us from having a great time (most guys from Southern California are pretty damn competent in the surf), and EVERYONE agreed that the experience of swimming nude was, if not actually sexual, at the very least EXTREMELY sensual and stimulating! Again, cool post. :) :)

Guys,
Remember the short, semi-tight basketball shorts worn in the 70's - trim crotch length. Were really sexy and I haven't been able to find a source.
There are two ways to swim - nude or in a MINIMAL brief.

[Jak]

I agree -TOO many guys wear navel to knee shorts with boxers! There is nothing more confortable than a very low cut NYLON Speedo. Old style basketball shorts - crotch length were GREAT
