Speedos on TV

It's a very curious cultural shift. I do remember someone posted an ad (I believe from UK) showing a mature man enjoying his vacation in a purple speedo in a way that wasn't foolish. It is very sad to see the board short craze beginning to catch on even in places such as Rio de Janeiro; the absolute worst American trend to imitate...

I hate to say it but the US now has worse trends to share with the world.

I do agree and It shows how much our male pride in themselves. It's sad to see young guys in places like Brasil's wearing baggy board sorts on the beach. I'll wear speedo swim suits at any beach.

By far the most famous TV show with Speedos was a 1983 "Dallas" episode with Christopher Atkins playing the Sue Ellen's young lover "Peter Richards" wearing royal blue Speedos (penis clearly "up!)

There was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where the swim team was being attacked, and they all wore briefs

They were very common on the original Baywatch.

In 1977 Australia men were already wearing a string bikini per a televised ABC news report. Macy's stores actually sold a version of this style (see link below) in both the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas during the early and mid 1980's, having it displayed on a few store male mannequins.

My first wearing of this style in public was during the summer of 1982. Spent an entire day at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and beach wearing it accompanied by my wife with nothing, but compliments. This is the minimalistic, but still full coverage Speedo style that I still wear.

Some East Coast Macy's also had sting bikinis and even thongs at one time.
