Self-consciousness issues?

[Oldgaucho]

There's no need to overthink this, for two simple reasons: First, your cock and balls are integral, necessary parts of your body just like your eardrums and vertebrae--or a woman's boobs and gallbladder. Second, the only thing that's safe and practical to wear in the water is a swimsuit that won't weigh you down, slow you down or restrict your movement--very brief, very lightweight and very elastic to fit like a second skin. Given these two facts it's impossible to hide the visible evidence of your manhood--it is what it is and there's nothing you can do about it so there's no reason to give it any thought let alone worry about it. If some people can't deal with the sight of biological reality that's their problem, not yours. If they don't like it they don't have to look at it. Besides, you'll occasionally get the kind of compliments from the ladies that validates your choice of the right swimwear.

Very well said!
