Complaints over lifeguard's huge package

[185248]

Living in an Australian coastal city with fabulous beaches and a strong beach culture, Speedo-wearing hunks are a common sight. Our surf lifesavers mostly wear shorts over their Speedos (also known as 'Budgie Smugglers'), but the shorts are removed before they enter the water. Just a couple of days back there was a young guy in Speedos who looked like he had two or three budgies 'smuggled' in his Speedos. Beautiful sight!

They look a little different on exiting the cold surf though, as opposed to lounging on a bloody hot beach

Ive been asked to rethink my attire at the pool before....

I can see why but the request wouldn't come from me or the hubby

I worked with a handsome guy in a dept of women. They all wanted him but they were not in his league. So they then hated him for no reason. I think some troll housewife was attracted to him then made a fuss because if she couldn't have him she would hate him instead.

Could anyone desire to continue working for an organization or manager that chose to address this issue via e-mail?

How many people are discussing my personal appearance?
Who did I offend?
How many people are complaining?
What are they really talking about?
Do they view me as a pedophile?

As I ponder these questions for 12-18 hours, and the manager's choice to avoid my personal feelings ... .... do I honestly believe this is not an issue with my co-workers or boss?

Embarassed? Self-conscious? Any desire to face potential humiliation? NO THANKS!!!

Back in the late 70's I worked at the country club my family belonged to, there was a lifeguard named Jason who had a problem just the same. They suggested he try trunks also, but with the net liner that had just come out, but even wearing a jock under he showed more than in the speedos of the time. The boy was just big, having seen him in the locker-room he must have been 9x6 flacid. He ended up wearing the speedos he showed less in them than the trunks.

Off-Topic, but I'd love to be in the middle of these four lads.

How could anyone possibly complain over these surf lifesavers . . .

Or these fine lads . . .

The customer is always right, the boss is always right. So just change your freaking swim shorts.

I'm an old geezer, and somewhat conservative regarding public behavior, but I'd say that unless the outline of the penis is clearly visible, there's nothing indecent about it. The Speedos in the pics above are well filled, but most of them are G-rated. The lifeguard in the initial story must either be hugely endowed or subject to frequent erections.

I need pics.

nice cock dude!

Some people don't like to be such cowards though? We might value our own freedom?

Isn't that part of the point of being human? Or do you think we are all just cogs in corporate machines?

I pity people who can never even attempt to be interesting.

Well pity me, a sad cog that turns the corporate wheel. Sadly bills and responsibility must be equally weighed along with personal liberties. That is unless you are irreplaceable, have other employment options standing by; or just work as a hobby.

This is no different than in a corporate wetting where women who dress a little too provocatively are asked to dress a little more conservatively.

Your build was meant to show off. So great

I think some folk are taking this thread too seriously . . . Whether or not the original post in this thread was a fabrication or not, the fact remains that swimwear is always going to be 'revealing'. Here in Australia, the 'Speedo' (originally an Australian brand, particularly designed for surf livesavers, competitive swimmers and beach-lovers) was simply a practical bathing costume that allowed 'nakedness' without being nude. We celebrate beach culture, our volunteer surf lifesavers, and our swimmers, who in the '50s and '60s dominated the world at the Olympics wearing the original 'Speedos'. . . This is what our original Speedo looked like, as worn by John Henricks after winning the 100 metres freestyle at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games . . . It seems he's not 'packing' anything, but he was . . .

It's sad society seems to have decided in recent years that figure hugging swimsuits are normal on women but "too revealing" on men. Wonder why this weird prudishness developed.

Because even though we've come really far since the days of discrimination, sometimes society still tends to unintentionally objectify women. Now, things aren't usually as bad as Kate Flynn's experience, but there's still a penchant for "tits or gtfo" among online circles, which it's one thing to be skeptical of someone who tries to socially profit by claiming a gender - but it's quite another to disrespect them for it. I've encountered a lot of "unintentional" sexism, such as people asking if I'm dating or fucking someone in the band. In ideal equality, people would question my presence backstage as much as any other guys' - i.e. none.

Don't get me wrong, we've still come a long way and this objectifying of women is not to be considered like the tragedies that, for example, Lise Meitner had to go through - such as discovering nuclear fission and getting almost no public credit until the 90s. But it's still important to recognize.
