The reason Speedos are stigmatised

So a guy has a choice of paying money to swim, and viewing girls in one-pieces or modest bikinis;

or strolling along the beach and seeing girls with breasts and bottoms exposed.

If I really wanted to gawp it's the beach every time!

Young guys are totally going back to briefs! My son stopped wearing speedos around 13 years old but started again when he was 16 or so.

I could tell he was testing the waters by wearing them for swimming in the lake and pool then putting on shorts for ganging out. Gradually he's worn the shorts less and less and now rocks the speeds all the time.

Even a couple of his friends have em and wear then with their girl friends around.

It's an encouraging sign.

They certainly are - but would it be indelicate to get the girl friends to say whether they are with or against the "swim shorts" preference of the great majority, as apparently uncovered in the travel company's survey?

This kind of discussion has occurred so many times and there are no right or wrong conclusions to be drawn because it is all based on opinion. I think the best thing to do is to wear what you like, and accept that the article that Byron posted for us to read is narrow minded and probably written by someone who has no idea what kind of suits are out there. Let the guys who wear boardies and jammers wear what they want, and maybe just put the discussion to bed. We'll never get agreement or consensus, and frankly who needs agreement. I'll continue to wear my low cut 1.5 brief wherever I want with no apology or justification and if someone doesn't like it, so be it.

......but Turbofan did say young guys are totally going back to briefs.

I fear that still does not apply in so many locations and bits of such ignorant journalism as that which appeared do not help change the beach and pool
scene for the better (as we would wish ??). It is unfortunately often such "trendy" rubbish that is read and followed by the younger generation and it does after all sell on the newsstands.

[Dooley67]

Let's celebrate that the young people are going back to briefs and let's lead by example wherever we live, whether it is Maine, Vermont, California, or any other place.

Re. post#39 I am not sure how much this is written tongue-in-cheek but will he not collapse in shock if he sees a tanga, let alone a sunga?

Many never go back once they try it... It is that comfortable

The issue is bafflingly with straight men in shock at the suggestion.

Straight Guy Friends have no problem sitting around and making all kinds of "only among other guys" comments & Jokes.

Many also see being naked playing beer pong with their straight friends, panting & other public humiliating removal of all clothes.

But somehow Speedos are different. It makes no sense since bake games is fine.

Of course "shrinkage" or just tiny dicks seem likely culprit.

But nobody is looking at wet cold speedos and judging ... EXCEPT GAY MEN WHO DO IT ALL THE TIME, NONSTOP, but those in the "NEVER SPEEDO" WORLD have no idea and are too busy in an obvious mental disorder, drooling as they gaze and think ungodly thoughts about doing unnatural, unimaginable acts of sex, so devient that a group of gay men discussing it in private would start barfing & throwing up before the really nasty details of the sexual thoughts that are a constant can be uttered.

I think it's ignorance caused by blackouts imagining sex with women. But if they like prostitute level of sexual skin exposure on women, what's up with not wearing a speedo in hopes of getting them to notice the straight guys?
