Recently at work there was an unexpected discussion about how to wear swim trunks that baffled me.
I always thought that the only appropriate way to wear swim trunks was to wear them without anything else on. Apparently, plenty of my coworkers will actively remove the netting and wear boxers to protect their body from exposure if the trunks fall down. I also know that they make trunks without netting now, so it is weird that they'd bother taking out the netting.
So, I pose this unexpected question to all of you. How do you wear your swim trunks?
(For potential cultural confusion, Americans call items like briefs, boxers, etc. "underwear" or "underpants", where as British English will just say "pants". It is one of those weird things.)

Re: Do you wear boxers under your swim trunks?
I usually just wear the trunks. The netting is enough to prevent clinging/bumpiness, and if they're worried about the trunks falling down or being pulled down, most swimtrunks have drawstrings that function as a belt anyways.
Now, whether people wear an undershirt underneath their normal shirt (besides bras) is also an interesting question/discussion.

I can't swim, so it never comes up.

Re: Do you wear boxers under your swim trunks?
There's no "other" option in the poll so I'm just gonna state that I wear the bottoms from a two-piece swimsuit under trunks. It's not underwear but it's not nothing.
Though, I didn't go to the pool when it was open last Summer, so it's been a while.

Re: Do you wear boxers under your swim trunks?
what i wear to swim depends on how lucky the guy is and how he handled me that night
also can't swim, disabled, so if i do it precedes romance, but a romance not so pure, or i actually have drank enough to trust because some lucky boy or person gets to carry me around :x

Re: Do you wear boxers under your swim trunks?
Now that I think about it, It's been years since I went to a pool or the beach and I don't own swimwear of any kind.
If someone invited me to go swimming, I'd probably just wear a pair of panties under my one pair of gym shorts.
If I went shopping for swimwear, given my current physique, I'd probably stick with panties under trunks or go for an old-fashioned men's one piece or a short-sleeved, above the knee wetsuit. As much as I'd like to try women's swimwear, I need to slim down before trying anything other than a maternity one-piece.
If I could get rid of my gut, I'd like to try either a modest woman's one-piece or one of those bikinis that more closely resembles a midriff tank top and short bike shorts than the bra and panties look of most bikinis.
Also, I never wear undershirts unless wearing a shirt under a scholar's gown counts(and even then, I'd rather go shirtless to avoid overheating but wear one because my Associate's gown feels terrible against my skin). Hell, before I traded in my non-graphic t-shirts for women's tunics made of thinner fabric and fit so air can actually circulate, I went topless around the house most of the time.

Re: Do you wear boxers under your swim trunks?
Last time I actually went swimming was well over 10 years ago, but I do remember just wearing the trunks with nothing else under them. Mostly because you'd just be getting your boxes/underpants wet and would have to carry a spare pair when you're done swimming.
But the real question is are you a bad enough dude to run at a swimming pool.
