Quote from Sebbie
Then around 1990 I attended a convention and stayed at a Hotel in San Diego. There, you often were wearing too much clothing if you wore a brief suit. I wore thongs most of the time, and thats what many of the guys around the pool and esp the hot tub were wearing. I have thongs and a skimpy brief style suit of the same color. I would slip the brief over the thong and head off to the pool or tub. Then I would check out what the other guys around me were wearing, and slip off the brief to reveal the thong or not, depending on what was going on at the moment.

On the subject of attire for pools or hot tubs, in Japanese communal baths, men wear nothing. The Japanese have got the concept 100% right and unless it's a coed get together, the best thing for the pool or the bath is pure nudity.

Hey CD
I used your link, followed from video to video until I found the original 2001 version of Waterboys. (English subtitles)

Great speedo movie that I haven't been able to find before although I have seen the sequels and the tv series.
Many thanks

From the final part of the Waterboys there are links to real Japanese School Waterboys shows. Amateur but fun.

The Japanese show us that you can have fun in speedos.

California Dolphin stated:
I was on my high school swim team in the 60s and 70s and every athletic swimmer wore briefs -AKA- what is commonly called a "speedo". Same with short shorts for boy's P.E. and summer wear.

In my post, I claimed Speedos were not that common - OTHER THAN FOR SWIM TEAMS. Duh..... Thanks for making my point.

Sebbie mentions the popularity of briefer suits at certain beaches such as Waikiki - but Waikiki is hardly a 'typical' US beach, with it's wealthier and often Asian clientele. More typical beaches might be Myrtle Beach (in the 'Bible Belt' south - where I've worn a Speedo with no harassment), the beach near Corpus Christi, Texas (again where I've had no harassment), Bethany Beach, Delaware (many times - no harassment), Wildwood, NJ (no harassment, though the beach was fairly empty that day), Presque Isle beach at Lake Erie (no harassment, but did get a couple of glances), Long Beach, CA (no harassment), and pools nationwide.

And again I state there is no "anti-Speedo movement" anywhere except in the minds of some people on this board who have a fetish about the suits, and think it should be natural to wear one while shopping at the mall, dining at a restaurant, etc. Most people - even the 'right-wing Christian extremists' some see hiding under every bed - pay no notice to the issue of Speedos simply because they are a non-issue to begin with!

I do agree with Swimmboy that wearing a Speedo type suit is really not the big deal lots of guys try to make it. I have also worn brief cut suits at many of the beaches that Swimmboy mentions and others and it has never been an issue. I also run at the beach in my suits and have never had a problem. It is the only type suit I wear when the situation calls for a swimsujit. I think some guys are so fraught with fear to wear a brief cut suit that they take any glance as an adverse reaction.
