Sports to do in a speedo

[Byron]

...some experiences to be related from hot boi Jami on that I think.

(there is I believe in the wrestling fraternity a division in the jock or no-jock
decision to wear them under singlets in their bouts)(I know which way I prefer!)

I hope I didn't go down the slippery slope with my reply.

Going down water slides in speedos is fun.
When the French use big waterslides they tuck their speedos into thongs and go down faster on their bums. I've tried it, it works!

Water slides in a speedo are great.That's the only style of suit I wore when I went to Atlantis. Don't recall seeing any other men in them on the slides, but there was a substantial minority in them at the pool & beach. There were several men, including me, in at the poolside carry out lunch counter.
Only place in the US I have tried it is Disney. There are always some men there in speedos, but I don't recall ever seeing any at another US water park.
One other activity is beach volleyball. I know someone who plays regularly and he mentioned that while board shorts are most common, a few of the men play in speedos.

Its such a nice relaxed feeling to ride the bike in a speedo. I like to jog in a speedo on the beach and just jump in the water whenever I feel like it.

I agree with riding in a speedo... I totally forgot about volleyball. Much better in a speedo.

Wouldn't it burn going down a water slide with a bare bum?

Big water slides are continually wet due to irrigation system and customer fear.

I too had completely forgotten volleyball - sungas and sometimes speedos are to be seen, particularly on Brazilian beaches (there is limited activity there also in beach wrestling).

Burning of the bum would not be a problem on a multiple waterslide I would think as the volume of water is a sufficient friction barrier. What might be a problem is the arms on the sides of a chute - need to tuck-in well on a narrow one.

Funny to think that hoisting the speedos is for the opposite purpose by the Aussie guys in their surf boat races.

I have played volleyball in a public park with friends several times. I also ways had a Speedo (or such) under my shorts. Eventually, it would get too warm for shirts (South Florida) and many of the guys would toss them to the sides.

At some points my "team" would be behind in score and it would be Match Point for the opposing team, and they would be serving.

I'd shuck my shorts leaving me wearing nothing but a (often times) multi-colored Speedo!

Threw the opposing team's serve every time! I'm no slouch in fitness, but I think it was the wild color schemes and/or patterns that truly threw them off.

Won a lot of games that way. Not all, but a lot.

One of the biggest problems with guys that like speedos is they are basically chickens. Guys may go to the beach or pool with speedos on under their shorts and not see another guy in a speedo and not take the shorts off. Has it ever occurred to you guys that maybe there are a lot of other guys with the "I don't want to be the only one in a speedo" mentality that are sitting on the same beach in their shorts.
If you like your speedo and look good in it, by all means wear it. So what if you are the only one, you know you are comfortable and like what you are wearing. A regular cut speedo is a common swimsuit and nothing to be shy about. I have a basic black 2" I travel with (among others) that I can wear if I am unsure how the crowd by the pool. I found another way to deal with the speedo is speak French and they will think you are a tourist.
