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.

If you care to share, where are you going on vacation this summer?

Yeah I was going to bring it up here funny enough. I’m going to Spain this summer. May force myself to wear speedos by not packing any swim shorts, but not sure as I am staying at a resort for part of it.

I always bring the speedo and a normal pair of trunks that I wear over it while walking to the pool. It gives me the heightened decency in a non-aquatic setting while also giving me the comfort blanket of an out upon arrival (meaning I just never take off the trunks). I almost always end up going speedo-only once I’m poolside though lol but it helped me ease my way in to wearing speedos in more settings

That’s a good tip and will probably be my plan! Hope I don’t bail and keep the shorts on though.
