I wonder how many other guys were there with their shorts over their speedos because they didn't have the nerve to wear what they wanted.

Why does it take nerve to wear a speedo!

[PSDave]

Hell if I know. All I know is many posts on the board are centered around how many are wearing speedos when they go to the pool or beach and if it is "speedo friendly" (which is something I have yet to figure out.) Lots of posts refer to the speedos they had on under their shorts that, for some reason, never see the light of day because there weren't enough others in speedos.

No problem here wearing speedos but I guarantee you that my pubic hair and butt crack are not on display.

A strange term to use 'speedo friendly'. Is that based on the fact that no one is wearing them - therefore there's hostility towards them?

You could have a similar argument about a public indoor public not being 'bikini-friendly' on account of all the women wearing one-pieces, but I doubt if that question would ever be asked.

We hear the term "speedo - friendly" used so often when talking about whether it is or is not appropriate to wear a speedo and whether or not the beach or pool or whatever is "speedo - friendly". Really, what difference does it make? If you are comfortable and want to wear a speedo, wear one that is appropriate (not a string bikini or a thong in public pools or Y's). If you're not comfortable, don't wear one. Maybe we are the ones who are either "speedo - friendly" or "speedo - unfriendly" rather than the venues.

I had a conversation with an 18 year old young man who is a lifeguard at my Y about speedos. All the guards there wear the guard boardshorts and lifeguard shirts. He said that when he does laps he wears a speedo and said that he can't understand why some people think that if you wear a speedo you're gay. He said that he feels like when you swim seriously, you wear a speedo. To him it was simple as that. I gave him a couple of my Euro Sportis which he really liked and when he wore one to try to learn how to do a flip turn, I was about to say to him, "you look (terrific or awesome) in the speedo, he finished my sentence with a huge grin and said, "I look like a swimmer." Point well made.
