Papadoop’s question “how do you like yours” got me reminiscing about the original nylon Speedo brand competition briefs I wore as a swim team kid.

Getting an excuse to wear a Speedo was the real reason I joined the team! A friend I hung out with had an awesome Speedo tanline from never changing out of his swim team Speedo while hanging out all day at the club. I wanted that look, so swim team it was.
Bonus: you got to watch teammates deal with penis arrangement in no-secrets single layer nylon.

I had a major erection problem every time I wore my Speedo.
It was so obvious my dad required me to wear a swim jock after seeing me do a major tent show on the starting block at a meet. I’ll admit I was pretty freaked out by the public tent display. Also I secretly liked wearing jocks, so I went along with the idea willingly. I wasn’t sure if I liked showing jockstrap lines under my Speedo or not. Nylon Speedos hid no secrets! I thought of the very visible lines as kind of ugly, but also proof of virility. Wearing a jock kept everything organized so no more worries about positioning either. By the end of the season I’d guess close to half of the guys wore jocks. No idea if it was following the herd, or an easy way to solve their own boner problem.
