What age will you wear Speedos to?

[Dooley67]

I'm in my late 60's in reasonably decent shape and I still wear speedos and don't plan to stop anytime soon.

Knikon, don't give up the crazy styles later.... That is what makes getting new swimsuits fun. Never too old to rock a cool swimsuit.

Can't see me ever wearing board shorts. Hard enough doing the lengths when you're getting older, without being dragged down in the water by those garments.

I think the important thing is that you do what makes you feel good and also comfortable. Especially as we get older and when some of us enter the retirement years, we need to take care of ourselves, both physically and mentally. If wearing speedos makes you feel good, do it and don't be concerned with what others say. They are at fault for being rude and insensitive. I wouldn't suggest wearing a thong at a family pool or beach because of the presence of kids, but wear that speedo or bikini and use discretion in which one of your collection you choose.

Not sure I'd want to wear one in the USA. See video link of girls and boys jumping off a cliff into water:

You would think they were a different species.

I have always worn speedos and intend to continue to do so. As I mature I avoid the bright colors and patterns and extremely skimpy suits for when I am at public pools or beaches (At my home pool - anything goes) As long as my stomach remains flat, I see no problem with my 2 or 3" side suits on an older man. However, there is nothing more disturbing than an 80 year old male (or female) in a thong with their boney ass hanging out!

LOL - I guess the opposite of bony is the problem here:

I'm with you and your dad, Turbofan. I'll be 72 in 4 short years and plan to be wearing briefs then and long after. I don't like boardies in general and not on me, but I must admit that some guys wearing boardies low on their hips look pretty hot.
