Speedos in Aruba

[Aruspeed]

Hey all. Going to be vacationing in Aruba later this year and have full intentions on wearing some of my speedos. I've actually done this twice before...but for some reason I always get anxiety about it until I see other guys wearing them.

Anyone been there recently and have any sightings to report? Seems there is a better ratio on Eagle beach vs. Palm beach.

I was there last year. Stayed at the Ritz Carlton. There were a handful of other guys there wearing speedos. I took a walk every morning around 8 for a mile or so down the beach and back. Nobody even batted an eye or looked twice at me. When I went snorkeling, we walked along the beach until we couldn't. Then had to walk along the street for a while, just in my speedo. Again, I don't think anyone cared!! Have fun. Its a great island!!

Thanks for the reassurance. You're right...no one probably cared, which is how I would expect it to me most of the time.

The funny thing is even if I'm the only one in speedos, if I'm not around a bunch of Americans, I don't seem to care. But the area around the Ritz never seemed to be super speedo friendly to me, so I kept my shorts on.

The ratio around Eagle beach seems to be more tilted towards the speedo crowd, and not necessarily the older folks. But it sure is nice when you're surrounded by a few like minded people. Lol.

I am so envious. I need a vacation so badly. Just a way to get away from work. Hope you have a blast. Post how it all goes, please.

I hope I have plenty to share.

I don't even try to be obscene when I wear speedos...in fact, I feel as though some of those very risqué styles are what make it harder to have regular swim briefs more "accepted".

The last time I wore speedos was on vacation to Vegas last spring. I wore a regular black Adidas suit, even sat on the edge of the pool in the wide open for a bit. Didn't walk around much because I was too intimidated. However, while I was relaxing and reading I noticed two latino or middle eastern guys about 6 chairs away from me were rocking black speedos too. Both had far better bodies than I do, and one appeared to be well equipped but not in an obscene way. Made me feel more confident with some "friends" nearby.

I am also going to Aruba this fall. I have full intentions of wearing my speedo every day I am there as much as possible. Do it!
