The reason Speedos are stigmatised

[Dooley67]

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.

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

My only response to Andrew's last question in the article is: "ya think???"

If he is "making frequent trips to the beach in an attempt to bronze my lily white body." then why did he " walked onto the beach wearing a white vest and pair of knee length board shorts"
It doesn't make sense, if you want a tan you should remove excess clothing, and if everyone else has done the same , then why worry.

He says that some pools in the UK have banned Speedos? Can't say I've heard of any.
