Coming Out

[TX_Micro]

I have not encountered negative comments about my swimwear but usually only choose beaches where it is not uncommon. A couple of years ago I was vacationing in Tamarindo Costa Rica. I was the only male that wore a Bikini or micro suit (1/2 back push out pouch, 1/2 inch sides). Ironically the majority of women were in cheeky suits or thongs and all the males in dork shorts or trunks. Anyway I was a topic of conversation at the hotel poolside bar. Apparently American’s thought my choice of swimwear too revealing while a local Tico surf instructor said people should be free to wear what they want and it was sexist that only women should wear minimal swimwear. I was enjoying what I was wearing, didn’t know any of them and would likely never see them again so didn’t care. Of course it helped that I was with an attractive woman.
