A speedo is a style of swimwear for men and boys which is akin to briefs in terms of how it's shaped. It derives its name from the Speedo company, which first introduced that particular style of swimwear, although people generally refer to all brief-cut bathing suits as speedos, even if they aren't made by the Speedo brand. The fabric of speedos is comprised of lycra/spandex and nylon, making them quick-drying, smooth to touch, and form-fitting.
Speedos are quite a common swimwear choice for men and boys who live in Europe, South America, Australia, and Asia (especially Russia). Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason, speedos aren't well received in North America despite them being sexier in style than conventional swimming shorts.
Speedos have even managed to make their way into rules and laws of certain establishments and areas. There are many swimming pools in Europe (especially France), which require all males to wear speedos for sanitary purposes. The reason is because males may be in dirty areas outside the pool facility while wearing conventional swimming shorts and then track the filth into the pool; but it is assumed that with speedos, a pair of pants is worn over them until it's time for swimming, thus making speedos less exposed to the elements than regular shorts.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the town of Cape May New Jersey USA had banned men from wearing speedos in public. In the 1960's, the South Jersey beach town made a law stating that any male over 12 years of age could not wear swim briefs. This ban was passed mainly because of homophobic claims that speedos were essentially worn by gay men for no other reason but to advertise their 'goods' to each other. The ban was finally lifted in April 2005, more than three decades later.
To sum up, speedos are the sexiest swim attire for men and the world needs more of them.

A tiny little swimsuit that men wear. They looking fucking hot in them, great for kinky sex. They show it all off without actually showing it, you can immediately judge a guy's package which is fucking hot. When there is bulge it is incredibly hott.

Swimwear that is like briefs. It's often worn if you are on a swim team. It shows your package so if you have a baby pee pee many people will notice it.
It is bad enough that Bill is made fun of for his one inch hairless dick at 15 years old in the showers. However, the hottest girls in the school have been coming to swim meets and looking at the guys bodies. Unfortunately, one of them is a girl in which Bill has a crush on and is emberassed that his one inch hairless package gives him no bulge and everybody laughs at his baby dick in his speedo.

A swimsuit that resembles the male briefs underwear. Often worn by athletes or guys who are swimming for exercise, but sometimes worn by old fat hairy men who don't know that they should be covering up. Named after the company "Speedo" that first started making them mainstream swimwear.
Advantages: provides support for your testicles and keeps your penis in a more comfortable position while you swim. Allows you to use your legs better when you swim, and doesn't fill up with air like normal trunks.
Disadvantages: shows off your whole body and only covers your privates, which makes it very disgusting to see old fat hairy men wearing them. Also shows off the general size of your private parts, which can be embarrassing if you have a very small package, because everyone would see your small bulge. A speedo without a decent layer of lining in the front will also make it very obvious if a guy's penis is circumcised.

Yesterday, I went to the beach and there was a fat old hairy man wearing a speedo, so even his own family was embarrassed of him.
For my high school swim team, we all wear speedoes, so girls came to watch our swim meets to check out the bodies and the packages. But that makes Johnny embarrassed, because his package is small and has basically no bulge in his speedo.

Too short shorts. Such as the type ballers wore in the 60's and 70's. Sadly many men still wear too short shorts today. See Wal-Mart,K-Mart or Piggly-Wiggly for examples.
