Stress Testing my new Speedo

[SwimTeamSpeedo]

So, we did go suit shopping after swimming today, at a local shop that specializes in competitive swimwear. It was alot of fun. I picked up two more Speedo brand briefs. They were closeouts of the splice kind that have the back seam. They fit awesome. I'll save them for the beach, because I find the butt seam wears out real fast in the cholorine under the stress of the flip turns. Plus the snug fit makes them feel awesome on, and really shows off well, perfect for the beach. I downsized to a 28 waist on one, which is a really snug fit. My teammate did, in fact, pick up two briefs, one Speedo and one Tyr. He is between a 30 and 32 waist, so he got one in each size. One of them is just like the one I had on yesterday, which I thought was cute that he did that. He also got a jammer of the same style. "Just in case" he said. I was hoping he'd try them on and model them, but he did not. I'll see them soon enough. We also had lunch together. He's married, so I think he is str8, but whatever, it was a really fun day.

Should be fun at swimming tomorrow seeing what he wears.

The great thing about going to a gay sauna is that you can be naked, get hard and no one will mind.
Practically everywhere else you go you risk being spotted, identified and embarrassed should you get an erection, however spontaneously.
I know young men who are afraid to shower naked after their speedo swimming sessions with their training squads, because they know that as soon as they strip off and stand under the warm water things will come to a head.
A musician friend invented phoba-phoba-phobia in song he wrote, it is scared of being scared of being scared. In many ways trying not to get aroused, while thinking about not getting aroused, while standing naked in a shower with your back to your naked mates is like phoba-phoba-phobia, and very arousing, and causes the victim to run for his towel.
I always used to get aroused trying on speedos in shops, and would still be hard when fully dressed at the till. I knew something was going "wrong" with sportswear when the longer and baggier shorts failed to excite me in the shop changing rooms.
If you do get into a habit of getting aroused at the thought of being caught with an erection it is probably time to go to a gay sauna, go naked in the steam room, get hard, let other guys see and enjoy seeing your naked body and excited manhood. If you don't want it to go any further you can say "No thanks" should they approach you, but try to stand your ground and don't run away this time.

Hey Torch, I think I am missing something. I totally agree that a guy with an erection would be perfectly acceptable and even desired at a gay sauna as you describe. However, while they do happen to guys at swim practice and meets (and I have had my share of those situations), I don't think the two compare. While perfectly normal for a guy to occasionally get aroused, even spontaneously as in my story, you have to admit it feels a bit weird standing there in that state in front of your whole team. A nice feeling, to be sure, but still awkward. As for running away, I don't get that... I stayed until the time came to jump in the pool.

Trust me, I've worn tight racing swimsuits since I joined a YMCA team as a really young pup. And then alll the way as a I progressed as a really good swimmer. Speedo boners come with the territory...I get that. And I am very confident as a guy...even when they pop up. However, all in context.
