A serious question.. when I wear just skins.. my umm... franks and beans say "how do you do!" If you know what I mean.
I wear a pair of board shorts over the skins cause I don't want to advertise... but does anyone else have issues like this or a better idea?
Really truly honestly a serious question.. there is a thread sort of like this that is just all humor and nonsense -this one I would like to keep serious.

If I am wearing a skin, I will wear shorts also. I don't care for the exposed look either.

I agree. Don't really think there is much else you can do.
You could wear x-shorts, and at least you'd get pockets out of the deal.

I don't wear skins, but if I did I would certainly wear some shorts, and I have seen some guys who I wish would put some shorts on.

I don't get out to the ocean very often, mostly just very cold lakes. So I don't see any jellyfish in my near future.

If you don't care for the way shorts feel over your skins, you could try purchasing a competitive swim suit (yeah, speedo) and wearing it under your skin. That will offer some modesty from the bare skin look.

Lots of wetsuit divers wear silk skins under their wetsuit to help glide the neoprene over their skin, especially after that first dive. When I dive wet in the north, I wear a skin. I would never ever consider wearing a skin without some garment underneath, a bathing suit at the very least.

I have also seen tight fitting skin like tops and shorts in the LDS's near me. You may try something like that - even just the shorts. Wearing them under the skin may help reduce drag while swimming in the water, opposed to a pair of baggy swim trunks.

Good luck and thank you for your modesty.

Biker shorts underneath your skin or spandex shorts. It's what I wear under my wetsuit.

I just wear a speedo in a contrasting color over the dive skin, and then throw on a cape. everyone thinks I'm a superhero.
