My journey with speedos

[Jcluney]

Thank you all! Glad I did too!

Torchwatch, I own a few speedos, a red sporti brand brief, a speedo endurance black brief, and a pair of plain blue ones from the Budgie Smuggler brand.

As far as wearing a something skimpier, would definitely have to work up to that, and probably wouldn’t have the guts in public (except maybe at a gay or nude beach).

Unfortunately all of my purchases have had to be online (swim briefs seem impossible to find in person in Canada) but definitely got excited when trying them on.

Hoping to go on a beach vacation sometime this year and try wearing them in a more public setting vs just around my friends.

I think it is quite a step up to wear exotic swimwear around friends . For the wild extrovert type it might be not such a tricky jump . I would always rather be around strangers or with someone who I knew had a similar interest . And as many of us know , our female partners are not always the biggest fan of small swimwear on their man ! Some are lucky though !

Wear something you feel safe in at your local pool, you'll want to go back another day, but at a beach among strangers be more daring as you'll never see them again.

Yes these are wise words . If you want to keep going back to your regular pool its probably best not to push things . Interestingly yesterday there were two girls in their twenties in my leisure pool , one was wearing a yellow bikini thong and the other a pink bikini thong .They were together and must have discussed in advance what they were going to wear . Of course it was nice to see but people's manners are so good now that we tend not to stare , which is great .Also for the first time I saw a guy in his twenties sporting a 1 inch side red bikini and he was with his pals who were all in shorts . Maybe the times they are a changing !

Interesting observations. I happened to be in my local sports shop buying some earplugs for swimming when I saw some multi patterned speedo bikini style men's swimsuits for sale. I agree; times are changing

Hi all, definitely agree that wearing a skimpier suit in front of strangers would be easier. I recently booked a vacation this summer and will probably try something skimpier out at a nude beach. Probably will look at some tanga style suits, but not sure if I will be bold enough to wear a thong.

Torchwatch, funnily enough I think for myself, it would be harder to wear a speedo at a local spot vs cottages with friends. I'm not sure if it's because I feel like I can predict how my friends will react, but total strangers who knows!

Aberman, interesting you saw someone out with their friends in a speedo and 1-inch sides no less! I'm hopeful the times are changing because it would be great to see swim briefs more accepted in North America.
