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

Doesn't help when they kiss each other after scoring a goal and roll about the place in agony after the slightest tackle.

Rugby players wear shorter shorts, yet I doubt if you could assume them to be gay.

...ex Welsh Rugby national team captain??

It seems a great pity - I wish many more sportsmen would declare but you will see that in the few sports instances it comes only after retirement and/or end of contract - so, as with everything else, it's the money that counts against principles in the end (and tragically, at the extreme, one London footballer's (soccer player) suicide resulted).

Btw, the size of players required in rugby team selection today would put many a bodybuilder to shame.

The Homosexual Agenda 14 Aug 2011
By C. Welker - Published on Amazon.com

"For those who don't believe there's a homosexual agenda, I would ask you to do some historical research. Fifty years ago, homosexuals were "in the closet" because they knew if they were to come out, they risked ridicule and perhaps their very lives.

Along came the Sixties and Seventies and the Sexual Revolution that pushed the "if you're not with the one you love, love the one you're with" idea. Suddenly, promiscuous behavior included anything and everything, including homosexuality. "Gay" parades in places like San Francisco brought out scantily-dressed people writhing through the streets sporting spiked collars and black lipstick insisting the world should accept them as "normal.""

There appears to be some serious homophobic anti speedo hatred here.

Torchwatch,

I'm very well aware that homophobia is a serious issue and I didn't mean to offend by making light of it. And to clarify, I proposed that as a joke and did not refer to it as a "speedo hate contest." That being said, I don't think the gay parades with scantily clad, outrageously made up men add anything positive to the movement; rather I think they detract from it. And those who happen to be wearing speedos as part of their costume then reinforce the belief that only gay men wear speedos. They just feed into the stereotypes that homophobes have about gays.

The outrageous and ridiculous part of "only gay men wear speedos" is that it is just plain silly, and sometimes humor reduces a contentious issue to the point of it being ludicrous. I think that by constantly examining the issue in such detail, the false assumptions are dignified rather than ignored. I don't want to appear to be seeing this simplistically, but, if someone wants to wear a speedo, then wear it and the hell with others think or assume about you. And whether speedo wearers are gay, bi, or straight, they pay taxes, marry in 17 states and DC, have families, etc., like everybody else. That appears to me to be pretty normal.

I always found that gay guys in speedos tended to be gay, straight guys in speedos tended to be straight. Lets not get our strings in a knot. D67's humor was just that...a fun diversion.

I think the "here" of Tw's post needs clarification as belonging to wanker Welker's opinions as quoted - or to the "here" of this forum.
I must say misunderstandings might be avoided if we did not see the apparent smug chumminess of STS and Dooley on a surreal joke about the magic powers
of waistcords with poof in them. (vide Queen Victoria: "We are not amused")

[SwimTeamSpeedo]

Byron, Yup...we are chums. A relationship you do not understand. Once again your powerful brain was overpowered by your insulting personality.

Btw, the quote ends before the final sentence if TW's grammar is correct.

[Byron]

Tw's grammar is correct and he simply indicates when he has stopped quoting Welker (the double quote mark in fact indicates he has been meticulous in that respect).

Bryon,

I think you are making a mountain out of molehill with the joke. I like STS and Dooley67 they are my friends. I believe the joke was told for a laugh nothing more.

I think the society of today have problems with the male genitalia, the “bulge” in a Speedo is maybe the only one moment when the society of today have a time to see “face to face” the penis (or something that “speak” about the penis)… them the people (when they see a bulge in a speedo) they feel afraid, someone feel shy, another feel horny, another have ideas about the sin, etc. for they is better no see a penis, them a good idea to take away the “conversation about the penis” or “the image of a penis” (in the bulge of a Speedo) is begging to put the “gay tag” to all the guys who wear Speedos and with this tag they make sure about all the st8 guys who want to wear Speedos they will think 3, 4 ,5 or 100 times before if wear or not wear a Speedo………… them, the gay guys are only the “scapegoat” in this “homophobic-speedo story”.
Women are “better buyers” than the men, them the market actually likes give more power to the women and take of power to the guys, them have a society sick with the men human body is a good business, the price that we must to pay is “Freudians psychological problems with penis” (men who feel afraid to have bulge, women who have “phallic envy”)
Also is very difficult to explain a woman about she have “phallic envy” because they want to think , and the media teach her the “phallic envy” is feminism or “empowerment”
