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

As many have stated, the image of gay parades with numerous guys walking - sometimes prancing - down the street in Speedos and other brief swimwear has enforced the link between gays and speedo-wearing (especially away from the pool) among the general population. And why wouldn't it? Many 'gay-oriented' web sites have many posts about 'bulges' displayed in Speedos, the way you can tell a man's 'religion' by the outline of his penis in a Speedo, how a Speedo shows if a guy points it 'up', 'down', or 'to the side' in his Speedo, etc. Just accept it - Speedos help reveal a guy's private anatomy, and gay guys promote and appreciate that, whereas the general population still feels somewhat uncomfortable about seeing 'everything' a guy has.

Just got done swimming in Turbos at Y. Only mention of what I wear was some time ago when they asked if I swam for the Aussie water polo team- I said of course. I have been in this locker room for a long time with the same gang -never a thing from any of them about my speedos. Some even wear them. If I am swimming in a lane next to a good swimmer and they aren't wearing speedos I suggest them and they all agree! As regards Turbo sizing I can,t beleive that those big guys have such small waists-maybe made special for them.

I have the same experience at my home Y being one of the very few to wear a speedo - sometimes I'm the only one. Locker room conversation is the same as in yours. At the Outer Banks Y where I've been swimming while vacationing, same thing. As a matter of fact, this morning I had just put on my Sporti suit and a guy who had finished his swim, struck up a conversation with me, asked me where I was from, talked a bit about my home state of Maine, stuck his hand out and introduced himself and said he hoped to see me again this week. On the beach, I was the only one in a speedo, a Turbo and absolutely no comments, looks, or anything. Lots of families with kids there. So what's all the hubbub about?
