What was your earliest speedo experience

[lapswimmer]

When I was in Cub Scouts, our Pack did Indian lore. One of our presentations was to do Indian dancing around a campfire. Our mothers put us in loin cloths for the costume. But mine also put me in a skimpy bikini suit under the loin cloth. I have had an attraction to the bikini cut ever since. Never knew where she got it. Then later when i got into my early teens, I did Red Cross swim lessons with some of my classmates. One of them had a Jantzen bikini cut and I had to have one too. We shared our suits from time to time.

When I was a 12 year old kid living in West Los Angeles. My mom and I would hit the beach almost daily during the summer months. She snapped a photo of me sitting on the back steps wearing a white and black swimsuit with open sides held together with crisscross bands. I also had a yellow and black suit in the same style. I thought I was the 'cats meow' in those suits, although they weren't really Speedos.

The was this really well built older teen who hung out at the beach and who wore a tiny black swimsuit. I wanted to look like him when I grew up. No photo, sorry.

Back in those day's it was illegal to wear a swimsuit in public that measured less than 5" at the side. Many folks ignored this law at State Beach in Santa Monica.

That suit was unique in styling. I don't remember any state laws restricting side size in the early to mid-60s. The Janztzen suit I had was, if I remember, a 2" cut and it seemed to be well accepted at the pool where we taught Red Cross swim lessons.

I remember boys wearing those crisscross band suits in the late 1960's at the old pool by the river in my hometown.
It was the closest you could get to dressing like Tarzan in public.

I had one but was teased about it by other boys. Was told it looked like a girl's bikini bottom .

Boys will be boys. I learned to ignore the naysayers and their negative comments early on. If you have a dick, there is no way you look like your wearing a bikini bottom.

I would like to publically ridicule every guy wearing knee length shorts because they distort the appearance of the body to the point it looks like Down's Syndrome.

Even worse, jammers look just plain WEIRD.

Well, you've got to admire them attempting to swim in the pool with all that material dragging them down. Don't think I could do that.

My first experience in a speedo was at school where we would swim once a week. We would have to wear a black speedo and that was also where I started to like guys. I once got a hard on in the pool while looking at my first crush in his speedo. From that point on I would love the swimming day and being surrounded by everyone in speedos.

Hey Wyld1, you just made me think of something from my starting post. I too like to look at my buddy in his Jantzen brief. He was well enough endowed to fill it out nicely. I guess I favored the look and have always enjoyed the look of the bulge the package makes in the suit. Back then, the materials was a stretch nylon, thicker than the suits today, so you could not really make out the line of the penis. The suits then just packed everything together in a nice round bulge. I think that's why I like the Neptune Scepter cut.
