I have had several incidents when I have been called while wearing Speedos.
I was in Delhi, in India. At a pool in a top hotel in the city. Many of the guys at the pool, from many nations across the world, from Australia, from Europe, from Japan, were wearing Speedos. Now many Indian guys wear briefs when they are swimming, speedo style swimwear, but these are usually rather baggy, some just wear cotton, slip style, underwear briefs and some wear relatively brief sport shorts. A pool boy dressed in sport shorts, a hotel worker keeping the pool in good condition, approached me saying that he liked the look of my tight, black Speedos. Later I went into the changing room to dress before going through the hotel lobby to get to my room. The pool boy was in the locker room and smiled at me again. I stripped off and went for a quick shower. When I came out, my Speedos had gone. I never saw the pool boy, or my Speedos, again.
A couple of years ago, I was sunbathing by the pool at a country club in Florida, wearing a pair of Speedos, as I always do. A boy, aged about nine, with his father walked past and the boy said in a very loud voice “Dad, why is that man wearing his underwear?” His father said nothing – at least in my earshot. Both were wearing extremely long fancy boardshorts, almost down to their ankles.. I saw them later in the pool, with their boardshorts ballooning in the water. At least the shorts kept the two of them afloat.
I swim early mornings at my local pool when it is ‘adults only’ lane swimming. Many of the serious swimmers are in Speedos. After swimming, many of us head to the pool sauna and steamroom to relax. I see the same guys each time I swim and we all chat in the sauna, putting the world to rights. One guy, I see regularly, not a very fast swimmer – he swims in the “slow” lane – wears rather old, speedos with about one inch sides. One morning, he waited until we were the only two in the sauna, then cautiously asked me, almost in a whisper, where I get my swimwear from – I was wearing my Team England Arena briefs ( see my England Arena post with thumbnails in the New Team GB thread). He said his speedos were getting baggy and loosing their elasticity. I suggested several websites and I don’t think that he had even thought of looking on line for new swimwear, but was expecting to go to a department store or sports shop. The next week he was proudly wearing a new brief pair of Slazenger black swimbriefs.
