How did you get started

Never had a Speedo until I took a learn-to-swim class in college. The school provided us with swimsuits, but they were more like 'square-cut' trunks, made out of a scratchy, almost canvas fabric. After a few days of that, I decided to get my own suit at a local sporting-goods store. Back then (early 80s) the only choice was black or navy blue nylon Speedo, so I got navy blue. I was nervous taking it to the cash register - even then, there was a certain 'sexual' interest in such a skimpy suit, but I think I was more nervous/excited about owning a 'real' swimsuit that 'real' swimmers wore! As I got more into swimming over the years, I took more notice of how hot male swimmers are in such suits, and I guess my 'interest' has only grown since then!

I never wore speedos as a kid. Being a gay teenager looking at porn, I liked looking at speedos and wanted to wear one. I bought one when I was 15, but never actually wore it in a pool until I was 19 and swimming in the college rec center. At 20, I bought a speedo square-cut suit, and wore that when I swam at the pool with friends. That summer was the first time I wore it around my parents too. Thankfully the only comment about it was "Oh, you got a new suit."
