feeling feminine in a speedo

Must have missed it (does that website hold the record for the longest menu on the internet ? ).

I don't feel feminine either. It does make me feel confident and sexy and even tho I repel 30% of the women who see me it makes me feel male. I am proud of who I am. In the US, men are shamed for their anatomy. It's no wonder many men hide in baggy clothes.

Maybe you feel feminine because sexiness is equated with women. Men who "look sexy" to women nowadays are usually men who flaunt their wealth not share their body. It is almost taboo to consider the male body sexy unless you are gay or metrosexual...

Well, no progress in understanding this over two months so I guess it's the end of the road unless bikinilover cares to say more after reading fifteen posts.
Btw, has metrosexual become a modern substiute for bisexual?

I guess so...

What does it mean to feel feminine? Like seeking the receptive role in gay sex? Or is it like wanting say make up, or just wearing the clothes? I just don't know what it means. I might be feeling feminine and not even know it, but I would never ever consider parting with Mr. Happy and I like muscles, mine and other guys.

I wish people (both men and women) would get over the hang up that men in speedos and short shorts = Gay.

And don't give me the absurd explanation that the stigma came from Gay Parades that featured men in speedos.

Speedos were worn by STR8 men and boys decades before there were Gay parades so the Gays didn't "adopt" any symbol that didn't already exist as normal.

As for the "Feminine" aspect, that's a matter of the wearer's self perception. Complete or 95% nudity isn't a gender specific fetish. Many guys like speedos and nudity simply because it's arousing and in many cases, there's no other connotation associated with doing it.

To add another point, whatever happened (and when) to denim cut-offs? Once the prerogative of the boys - now entirely taken over by the girls (and even gay guys avoid them).
