Female attitudes, or lack of, about speedos

[Schoolspeedo]

I think I've said this before somewhere on this forum; my wife and ex don't like my speedo, skimpy bikini skin suits. Both have the 'Peter Stringfellow' effect. Undetered I continue to wear my skimpy suits to my local university pool where no one seems to care. I've tried to modify the brevity by trying the Aussie 'Budgy Smuggler' make along with 'Oddballs' swimmers but both are too wide which is a shame as they have some amazing prints. For now I'll stick with my Kiniki 'Andre' style which I find skimpy enough to be acceptable, not by my wife unfortunately, and comfortable. To be honest I'm past caring. I'm going to take up wild swimming though will start will full wet suit with my kiniki beneath though. Of course I'll be forced to strip off on the beach or riverside to get changed and if my bikini is on show, oh dear. Having observed that the majority of wild swimmers seem to be women, then it will be interesting.

Way back in 1975 the Fall/Winter Sears Catalog, page 602. It showed two male models standing side by side, one of which was in briefs and the other in boxers. It wasn't the briefs that had an inappropriate clothing issue. I remember it was a conversational topic with women then. Even though what looked like a penis poking out was just a publication smudge.

This has been my experience too unfortunately …. They have been tolerated but no more but in my latest relationship actively discouraged . There are always exceptions but I think in the main women prefer their men to be mainstream . That’s not to say they won’t like inwardly a really attractive stranger walking past in a brief speedo . But I think when it comes to “their” men they prefer the norm . In my pool there are often girls in the skimpiest brief swimwear but the guys still are in their board shorts . Now that’s not to say that this will stop me wearing my briefish stuff to the pool . Nothing outlandish these days to the uk pool and a bit briefer abroad .

There appears to be an attitude amongst women to get the best looking and fittest man available and then keep him by fattening him up and making him appear unattractive to other women. A husband who swims in speedos is going to attract unmarried women, if the wife can't stop him from swimming she can at least force him to wear hideous baggy shorts with a cheap floral print design and offer him an extra slice of pie when he gets home.
Worse still a husband who is no longer getting it at home may become bi curious and earn the attention of other men. Such a husband will be forced to stay in at home, abstain from all sport and fitness activity and to wear only the most boring practical underwear.

Well I think it’s much simpler than that …. In general they just don’t like ‘em 😊

So good to hear that you get approval ! I used to get giggly approval in my main relationship mixed with a bit of tolerance , but I always felt uncomfortable ordering loads of stuff as probably the fetishism was disapproved of rather than the thong .
Then one very liberal relationship where it was Ok .
In my present relationship , my GF wears thongs for me but she does not like me in them . That is fair enough and I do not want to rock the boat too much . Anyway I get plenty of solo thong wearing time so it is ok , but I do admit I would prefer to start bed time in a thong but it is not going to happen !

Starting bed time in nothing is best!

That is close to my view on both male and female attitudes to swim briefs.
They simply regard a man exposing his upper thighs and especially the glutes in a public place as immodest.
They don't care how much you like wearing them its simply not appropriate in their mind. Not as bad as swimming naked but similar in concept.
One lady friend once remarked that its like a girl going topless.
