Every guy goes through natural cycles that occur in which sometimes he feels quite horny and sometimes not so much. Guys start to become aware of these natural cycles around puberty, but seem to get more noticeable in the late teens, around the age of Josh, Dylan, Bill and Joe. Every guy knows that sometimes he feels more horny, that is, more easily sexually aroused at some times rather than others. There are various explanations for this, one being the idea that testosterone levels do not remain steady, but are also cyclical with peaks and valleys. Guys often blame whatever is happening to them on the basis of male hormone levels at every moment in time.

But like lots of other things, blaming arousal levels on testosterone is an oversimplification of some very complicated things---things involving thoughts and ideas in addition to the body’s own chemistry. Most guys quickly learn that they cannot remain aroused or interested in sex if the mind is in any way distracted or working on a non sex-related problem. And, of course, there are all sorts of distractions that can easily derail sexual thoughts and feelings. For a guy to be able to enjoy his own body along with his own sexual thoughts and feelings requires a degree of focus on what is happening, or might soon happen sexually.

And here is the weird part: The ANTICIPATION of something that could happen with the ending being an orgasm might be nearly as enjoyable as the actual event, or the orgasm itself. That may seem like a strange thing to say, but it is true. Sexual arousal at its best takes time. A lot of guys somehow think that the faster they can get to the big payoff, the orgasm, the happier they are going to be, sexually, but quite the opposite is true. In this regard I am starting to sound like a sex therapist or marriage counselor, but that is fine.

What does all of this have to do with the story line involving “aids” like shiny royal blue Speedos® anyway, and employing such items to assist during sexual arousal. Now I am perhaps beginning to sound almost too “clinical” for my own good.

Let me bring this all back by getting you to think about the possibility of buying a royal blue Speedo, a basic swim brief with 3-inch sides. Perhaps you have never owned a swim brief before, but you have long admired the guys who seem to be able to wear a royal blue Speedo seemingly with confidence.

Sometimes in life, the anticipation of an event occurring ends up being more difficult to deal with than the event itself. For example, suppose you got into a situation where the only swimming gear that was available was a bright blue Speedo, but you didn’t know that was going to be the case until moments before you were going to enter the pool. In other words, you didn’t have a lengthy period of time to think about what you were going to do: you just got into the Speedo and hopped into the pool.

Now think about a situation where the swim coach says “all of the guys on the swim team will be expected to wear swim briefs. The correct gear has already been ordered and I will be passing this out for each of you to wear at practice a week from now.” Suddenly, this has become a very different and potentially much scarier situation for most guys. Each of the guys has a week to contemplate how the swim brief will fit and feel and how his body might “respond” on its own to the situation that will be occurring only a week away. Now, some of the guys may have worn swim briefs in the past, and may be less apprehensive about the whole situation. They know that, and so do you.

A complicating factor in all of this is that part of being a guy is all about maintaining control of a situation and being in charge of what is happening no matter what. But part of what makes the male sexual system so endlessly fascinating is the real possibility that a guy’s body could “respond” (as in a growing and hardening penis) even when the guy is attempting to make a conscious effort to tell is penis to quit doing that. Just more of this autonomic sexual response and the feeling of being out of control that scares guys so much. What am I going to do if I change into a swim brief and suddenly discover I have a big hard-on? What are my swim team buddies going to think if this happens? Am I gay? How can I cope with all of this? Of course, the more a guy thinks about this and agonizing over what could happen, chances are, the more likely it is for the event to occur. So contemplating and stewing over everything that might happen for an entire week is definitely not the best strategy.

Still, wearing a swim brief can generate a lot of horny fun sensations and feelings, and guys normally figure that out too, even at an early age. Having your penis in a slick=feeling and confined space such as what the swim brief provides can be a fun place for a guy to be, provided that you don’t get too horny or too aroused. Guys generally do not want to admit to that however. Still most guys would probably be at least a little curious to say the least.

All of this leads back to the love-hate relationship a lot of guys have with swim briefs. The possibility that a guy would uncontrollably blow while wearing a swim brief in a semi-public or public setting is a terrifying thought. But the thought of having your most sensitive male body part confined inside of a slick, snug fitting swim brief is in itself a very enjoyable thought. So which is it? For a lot of guys, the potential for sheer terror overrides the potential for something that is pure pleasure or fun. Truly, a complicated place to be in!
