STS:
Your story obviously has an enthusiastic following (including me!) and hope you'll continue this serial drama. Your writing style is excellent.

The MensSwimSuitBoard has been a pretty civilized forum for discussion, and has so far avoided the rants and personal attacks that afflict some other groups. But when you write a story or article here, you are hanging your thoughts and writing style out in public, and your readers have an opportunity to comment. You can't expect unanimous applause for every utterance. Every movie has its critic.

reply to above
 

To reuse some words I saw only recently "best chapter yet"

STS, please do not accept any negativity personally. What you have done with your stories you have given many people enjoyment and with each chapter you write you add to thier enjoyment. Please continue this story. May u have many more chapters in this one. It is a great story.

Lead
 

Your story is helpfull to us who want to lead others to try speedos. There is a small movement toward speedos at my Y. Just the other day there were only three in the pool. One triathlete in very tight briefs-but what a body. Another a medical student who ha s worn them for years and me in Jammers-for hamstring support. Today I wore an old pair of flag olympics which I tossed out. There was a guy doing underwater demolition training as part of ROTC-wearing UDT short shorts. Going to Pensacola for more. Keep up your story about the straight guy that you are helping "smell the roses"

STS - keep writing! We are really enjoying this story! One or two may criticize, some out of jealousy or meanness, some maybe to nudge you to write about their own favorite aspect of Speedo-wearing, but just write what YOU enjoy writing about! One person was unhappy about the 'wet dream' sequence, but I find college-aged males having wet dreams to be totally erotic! So please keep writing!

A conversion.....
 

Yes, the writing in the technique of suspense is part of what keeps up readers' interest I'm sure. I for one was taking in events as real, until
the denouement of the dream. We can now make all sorts of guesses
about Chapter 7 (and probably be wrong!)

STS, Please continue with another chapter of your story. It is a well done and heartfelt story. I hope that this will not b the last chapter. :)

about the next chapter
 

Writing these is hard work... both ways...lol. A next chapter is coming

btw, the dream was real... the minds way of playing out fantasies... think about it. (I actually wrote about the dream many years ago in my swimming journal, which became the basis of the chapter).

ch. 7
 

Sounds good - with 2616 viewings out there so far must be
a lot of people clicking in to see what's going to happen next.

A guide
 

Your story is a guide to all of us who want to ease friends into being comfortable in speedos. I feel that there's a lot of guys who want to wear them but have to be given a nudge of encouragement. The more there are the more there will be.
