feeling feminine in a speedo

[Byron]

...."you can't judge a book by its cover". There is quite a big range to find when looking into what you say - I can think of a (straight) guy at work who only enjoyed his sex if wearing a souwester.

Im the opposite, I feel even more masculine when I wear my swimsuits.

Agree. Agree is too short. I agree.

I don't understand why anyone would feel feminine in a speedo or anything similar or less. When a man of the proportions and physique most qualified to wear one tastefully does, the image is anything but feminine. Help me understand what the problem might be, please.
As far as cutoffs, that's all I wore in the seventies, eighties, nineties, till I started getting criticized for it. When I lived in Georgia I'd get up in the morning, put on some cutoffs and boat shoes and be dressed for the day, unless a shirt might be required, then usually cut down or rag t-shirt sufficed. There aren't too many photos of me from that era that I am NOT dressed as described...LOL

bikinilover : - you must come back on this - we now have four pages of posts from many confused guys.

The only other reason I could guess is that the speedo is often compared to the bikini which is culturally (in the US) considered the epitome of womanness... Also the feeling of freedom in dress code which also seems to be a domain women tread....

A bit of a fashion faux pas I think - this guy seems to be in difficulty even with what might be a thong below to assist.

I think this would sum it up....thank you for putting it that way, knikon. This is just how I feel about it......if no one else does, I totally respect it. I was just wondering if anyone else felt the way I do at times when I wear my speedo.

Going back to post#1 we see "feeling feminine". If that was alternatively expressed to say wearing a speedo creates empathy with women who freely enjoy wearing their own brief swimwear, then I think the feeling would be better understood.
