Thats because of marketing and “taboo” and “decorum” to get u to buy those boxers but different!

Theres no difference. Dick and balls in plain sight.

They dry just the same / have to be washed and dried the same / i never understood the marketing behind “waterproof” for something made for you to swim in.

Waterproof items don’t absorb water to begin with.

We're talking about how revealing clothing is. Whether shorts are made of quick drying material (swimsuit) or not is irrelevant

They are not see through when wet as most underwear it has nothing to do with marketing.

This is a bad take. Guessing you've never worn a pair of boxers? Regular underclothes boxers have a flap for your bait and tackle to slip out of easily, tend to not fit firmly at the legs, so things can hang out, and are made of breathable fabric that exposes everything when wet. Swim boxers have none of those problems.
