What you feel about to be the only one guy wearing speedos?

[Torchwatch]

The obese man in the photo in the article above actually has good legs and an acceptable loin area. The problem is the overhanging belly. If he was wearing boardshorts down to his ankles his belly would still hang over the waistband just as much. He has gone to the beach presumably to swim and sunbathe, which are legitimate pursuits (even in speedos).
So why attack him for wearing speedos when it is his exposed belly that is the issue and would remain the issue whatever swimwear he chose, unless the public were to demand that obese men and women wear singlets/vests to hide their excessive chests and bellies?
Since the average man in the West is slightly overweight these days such demands would result in nearly all men wearing vests and baggy shorts for swimming, a return to Victorian values perhaps.
We should give moral support to the older and bigger men who choose to wear brief swimwear not because we lust after them but because depriving them of their freedom to choose their own swimwear ultimately deprives everyone else of their right too.

Torchwatch, you are right on target with your very well thought out post.

Yesterday at Y in Addidas brief with high school junior swim team guy and this morning in Australian Water Polo brief=both real tight. Addidas had very small gap area in left groin which leads me to beleive that it was not sewed up properly. Great to see HS junior in speedos-he thought nothing of wearing them as did the US team member who I swam with last winter. His US team suit was so brief that they kind of pinched his butt checks but he was such a great swimmer I heard no complaints. I really think that serious lap swimmers like myself have little to be self conscious about when wearing briefs and believe me the turbos I wore this morning were really tight.

What was the point?

When I wear brief swimwear I take my time when I put it on in the locker room and at the pool. When I'm not in the water I still hang around talking to people with no hesitation. In other words I consider wearing my speedo as nothing unusual. The pool is for swimming-the suit is for swimming-so swim! Same in the locker room. Many just like to see what suit I'm going to wear next-I have may but have mostly settled for Caussie and water polo suits which are just the opposite in their feel and toughness. The Caussie is as if you had nothing on where as the polo is double lined. I may cut one of the layers out but I hate to completely ruin the suit.

I just ordered two Turbo suits for lap swimming. Dooley and STS influenced me to finally add these Turbo suits into my mix of swim briefs.

When cutting out linings one nick and the suit is ruined, don't do it. If you ant an unlined suit buy an unlined suit.

Thank you friends for the answers.
I think when we make some questions and it is responded freely them always we learn more than and we win more knowledge. The speedo for a lot of people is a taboo, and sometimes don’t care if we use it, the taboo is in the brain, them some people want to keep the control about when, how, why speak about the speedo.
Some time I read a guy asking in a forum because he feels a little shy about wear speedos at his swim train class (was his first time) he never been show his bulge to other people and also he have some insecurities with his “penis size”-…. Unfortunately for him a swimmer teacher was the first one to response him at the forum and the response was like this” “are you fool !!! We use speedo because is the perfect dress to swimm , you mustn’t have care or think about show the bulge and bla bla bla”.. them the answer never been response and also no buddy in the forum give the correct response or any person will have de courage to make the same question in the forum… also The swimmer teacher show with this response that for him the “bulge” at the speedo is a taboo (NO BUDDY SPEAK ABOTH THIS IN MY FORUM!!!!!!!)

Shaulis,

What a chain of influence. I was influenced to order Turbos by Turbofan and STS and now you've been influenced by STS and me. You're going to love them, the low cut, the tight fit, holding your package in place. Which ones did you order?

You will love Turbo suits. They are fun prints and hold up really well. Let us know what you think.
