| A swimsuit is essentially any type of clothing that one can wear for bathing and swimming purposes. In modern times they seem to be made to expose as much flesh as possible and are usually made of some kind of material flexible enough for comfort, often nylon so that it dries quickly. Men have two main swimsuit styles to choose from: shorts or briefs. Maybe I just have this horrible fear of having an erection in public, but I always wear shorts. Women can choose between one-piece swimsuits or bikinis. There are some pretty wild varieties in between those two as well, of course. The preferred swimsuit for the discerning intimate couple who have a body of water to themselves is of course bare skin. Some swimsuits these days are practically lingerie that you can wear in public. Its a bit ridiculous really, but hey, so many things are. |
