Getting Friends to Wear Speedos - Stories/Anecdotes/Tips Please!

[PSDave]

I am a firm believer in people should wear what they are comfortable wearing, both physically and emotionally. I have worn them forever and occasionally guys will ask questions that give me a clue they have more than a passing interest. I offer them a pair to try on. I have several extra pairs in my pool house so they can try them on in private. Some come out with them on, others pass on the idea. The complaint is usually they were used to hanging loose and being all jammed up is not comfortable.
In other words, if they voice an interest you can coach them on fit and sizing but let them make the move to try them on, don't push them into it. Remember, because you like them and find them comfortable and practical doesn't mean they will too. Don't try to push them into it, they may resent your pushing or get the totally wrong idea. Ones choice of clothing is a personal decision - just like picking out a car.

Next time, when you go to the pool, wear board shorts just like your friends wear. BUT wear your swimming brief under. As you get into the pool discard the longer shorts at poolside, still dry, while making a comment about how you are keeping your shorts dry. Then as you exit the pool, reverse the process pointing out that you can now put dry shorts on right over..

My hunch is that this is so convenient your friends will be doing the same, and maybe the next time as well.

The swim brief combined with board shorts is not a fashion statement, but merely a matter of "convenience" at the pool.
