In reply to: I was in Italy this summer, and they (under 20's) all wore their boxers under trunks. I spent 3 months there with my girlfriend's family last year. We regularly went out with large groups ranging in age from 16 - 30 and since most of us changed on the beach or in communal changing rooms, I know that most of the blokes were not wearing anything under their trunks but maybe this trend is something that's caught on over there in the past 14 months or so.I know two Italian students here and there are several more who are friends of theirs. I'll ask them about it and get them to ask their friends. Since they're from many different regions of Italy it should indicate whether or not this is a growing trend in young Italians or an isolated thing.

Boxers under swimsuit?
-
Why is it that the screwiest parts of Amercan culture are the parts that spread to Europe?
-
We went to west Italy. About 20 miles south of Venice.
-
I never wear boxers under my swimsuit...as long as its not a loose one.....I don't see any point in doing so.
-
Er, Venice is on the eastern side of northern Italy.
-
I don't see the point in wearing boxers at all.

I don't see the point of wearing anything at all into the water.

In reply to: Er, Venice is on the eastern side of northern Italy. I've definetly had a long week. Can't even remember the compus points.

y would u do that. ive never even heard of doing that. its pointless to wear something under them. everything's gunna get wet anyways. why would u do that?
-
Well, I guess if they didn't wear boxers under their swimswuit, then half of their wang would be visible becuase they're wearing it low.It's retarded....I don't even know how this low pants fad caught on :| .
-
thats dumb. swimming pants are one thing u wear around ur waist. they cant hang down.

Until I saw this post yesterday, I had never heard of anybody wearing anything under their swimwear. Today at uni I set up an Intranet poll to which I received about 300 responses. Of those only 2 people said that they would even consider wearing anything under their swimwear and they were both Americans under the age of 25. The other respondents were mostly British but there were also people from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Chile, Mexico, Canada, Nigeria, South Africa, India and Pakistan. I guess this is just an American thing. I am an American and Ive never even heard of such thing...Ive been a swimmer all of my life too, in fact.

I've heard from one of my teachers once, that the whole "wearing your pants below you ass" thing came from prison inmates, when their belts would be taken away cuz they could be used as weapons, so the pants had to be worn that low. Who know, maybe it's true.

I don't know where it started but it sure seems to coincide with the whole gangsta rap crap several years back
-
i'd never heard about this until this post shrugs it seems ridiculous to me...
-
sounds liek a logical explaination to me.
-
Wow... where I live everyone wears boxers under their swim suits ...I do it (whenever I do go swimming) because it's easier to hide a boner if I get one
-
I find it strange that this phenomenon only occurs with young American teens. I don't recall people having problems with "boners" before. Why don't teens have this problem throughout the world? I think the "hiding boners" answer is just a sorry excuse for a stupid fashion trend brought on by the baggy gangsta-crap style.
-
LOL sdp. It certainly makes you wonder thats for sure.Only time I EVER wore underwear under my swimming trunks was because I had to borrow a friends extra swimsuit and it was white and when wet it was rather see through. But otherwise I don't wear anything under. As for the hiding boner thing, most trunks have a liner inside that I always thought was alittle tight so that should do well when hiding Mr.Happy.

yeah my teacher told me that too
