First Time in Speedos

[northgagay]

As a gay guy in my thirties, I had always had a bit of a fetish for speedos, but last week was the first week that I wore a speedo to go swimming in public. I’ve always had a lined Black Solar 1-inch speedo in the back of my drawer that I wore once for a quick dip in the hot tub when no one was around, but I always wanted the confidence to just be comfortable enough to wear what I wanted. This year, I ordered a lined lava grey speedo solar 1-inch brief and wore it at the neighborhood pool while vacationing in Fort Myers. The first time I got in the pool, it was just me and my husband, but over the next several days, I wore them regardless of the pool being crowded or not. I never heard one negative comment and I will certainly be wearing them again. What was your first time like?

I remember buying a Speedo Classic with 2 " sides and I tried it on in the house, looking at myself in the mirror, thinking, 'this is brief'.
Then the first time, at the pool, not feeling at all comfortable, and when I was walking down the steps to the pool, I felt like as was naked. But I did my swimming and I felt completely different when I left.

I had a similar experience last year when I wore briefs with 1.5" sides. I didn't know if they would be allowed even, but there was no problem, and in truth, no one could care less.

Never had a problem wearing the suits and frankly if one listens to the constant complaints one hears all day about nonsense who would care what these people think anyway. Thumbs down on thongs but regular brief swimwear are fine with me and my family/friends. Straight here.

I have a simple rule - if my local pool attendants accept my swimwear, then it's good enough for anywhere else (at least in my country) - irrespective of what other people think.

I also enjoy wearing or 1.5 inch suits to the pool and beach. Never had an issue with nylon Aussiebum suits. What about suits like that with pouches? Have you worn them without issue as well. I have some andrew christian brief with pouches that look and feel good, but I don't know how they would be accepted in general. I have only worn them at thinly populated beaches. The only people to see them had to choose to come to see them.

I've never tried or seen a pouch suit. Do you have a link to an example or two?

On a pouch suit instead of the front of the suit being one piece of fabric it is made in 2 pieces cut on a convex curve at the front, so forming a pouch when sewn together. This allows for a briefer bikini with more room at the front.

There is a fashion for pouch square cut suits where the pouch is intended to emphasise rather than to contain.

[SwimTeamSpeedo]

I started swimming on a local Y team at a very young age, so I don't really recall the details of my first swimsuit, other than that it was solid blue. I grew up on a farm, while not poor money was tight, so my old swimteam suits became my recreational suits. I have worn swim briefs all through my life exclusively. I know in high school I was often the only guy in race cut suit, as we called them back then, other than when my best friend Zach would wear his, which was pretty often. I just stayed weaaring them all the way through college, again using my practice and old team suits as my hanging out at the beach swimwear. It was never really an issue, other than it is where I got the nickname Swim Team Speedo, which is how the rest of my high school friends referred to my choice of swimwear. Even now, at a much older age, I find I am frequently the only guy in a "skimpy" suit, but frankly I like being different from the crowd. Plus, I have a fit body and feel like I can pull the look off well. I have worn some narrower sides (down to just under an inch), but never a thong or sheer/see thru. Welcome to the world of great swimsuits Northgagay. Once you get over the initial feeling of being "that guy" in a Speedo, you will come to enjoy how you look and feel in the best swimsuits ever!

Those suits look great! I've never worn one, but I will have to give it a try. Since I'm a more of a grower than a shower, I don't know that it would be that outrageous on me. Once I get one I will let you know how it goes.

You are absolutely right! No one really cared less. Personally for me it is incredibly more comfortable than dragging a pair of shorts through the water, so I don't really see me wearing anything else again. I didn't wear my speedo to Fort Myers Beach since I was just walking the beach, but I did see an Italian man in a very brief suit and two men in square cuts. I couldn't help wondering if they wanted to wear a brief but didn't for some reason.
