I wore my square cuts one time at the local pool...the life guard was looking at my back...but they feel confortable.

Which nation do you live in?

In the UK most guys on beaches are in their everyday wear (say jeans) or in shorts, including swim shorts. Speedos are unusual but they are worn. The UK also has plenty of naturist beaches if you feel over-dressed in speedos. UK pools have swim-shorts and speedos. Some continental pools require speedos.

If you want to wear them I don't see the problem. They should be speedos not posing pouches (unless you are on THAT sort of beach!) and for the benefit of everyone else you should have a halfway decent physique.

Why does it have to be a half way decent physique, Jason?

What if you are absolutely gorgeous, like me? Wouldn't that be ok too?

 

[Jason]

If you're absolutely gorgeous then wearing speedos is a requirement for the good of your fellow beach users.

I wear mine all the time. Don't really care what others think. I am not wearing to show off, I wear them because I find them very comfortable to wear.

I was on a Caribbean cruise a few months ago. On the stop to the cruise lines private island, I was surprised at the number of guys wearing a speedo under their board shorts. When we first took up our beach chairs i was the only guy in a speedo. As the hours pasted some of the men around us droped the shorts and showed off the speedo. Its funny how when some men are not around anyone they know the speedo comes out. They are too embarrassed to be seen in them by friends and family.

I wear them when it is acceptable apparel for the beach that I am at. I enjoy them and while I have not heard comments on them, they do draw favorable attention.

thanks for the replies

i am a little overweight but not too bad

im in the uk but im going to the caribean later in the year so ill be wearing them there

i love your pics exbiker

I wore them for many years (into my early forties). Since then I've been wearing jammers and they are just as supportive and comfortable, not to mention that I still get attention from men and women alike!

If you want to wear speedos then go for it. Hopefully, you have a body that goes well with them - ie no paunch, no forest on your shoulders, and something between your legs that's worth highlighting in wet elastane or nylon.

If you want some top quality all-nylon speedos, check out Caussies online. They're an Australian brand and come in black, navy and maroon. I purchased them direct from the manufacturer. Speedy delivery, reasonable prices and excellent pre and post-sales service.

As for comments, well, I mix it up a bit and have yet to provoke any adverse reaction. I generally wear board shorts to the beach but I wear speedos underneath and strip down to them when sunbathing. At the pool, where my chief focus is laps, I wear speedos for practical reasons - they dry quickly and they streamline the body. Speedos are always worn when playing water polo - it's a brutal sport - lots of nut-crunching from one's opponents and they try to drag you underwater. It's harder to grab a pair of speedos than it is any other form of swimwear.

When I had a suit on it was a speedo type. I did this up till I was in my 60s. My body type allowed this, also I come from the era when we men knew we all had a cock and didn't worry about showing a bulge. My advice is if you like the fit and coverage of a speedo wear it . You can work on the weight to bring it down if you like.

I do not wear a speedo. Not because I wouldn't look good in one or because I wouldn't fill it out or because I would have a bulge. It's more than that they are just thought of as creepy and out of style.

If you aren't into bikini shaped speedos. Try a designer square cut. I think they are flattering and more modest for many guys

Dude, you don't get it. Most American guys do not wear Speedo's.

Hcky. I never said they did. I also did not quote you to relate my comment towards your comment. Was certainly not trying to make you upset. I was speaking generally to the thread topic. All I said was if a bikini style is too brief some prefer square cuts. The trend in South CA, while not bikini, is shorter and tighter than ever in walking shorts and swimwear at least with those in the mod of fashion. Square cuts are cool. My gay friends mix and match styles but I have had three straight buddies switch to square cuts from Boxers this year when beach side .

I like your comment about changing attitudes. Men are being emasculated. It's a gradual process that seems to have gathered in pace over the last thirty or forty years. No sooner were women free to wear the skimpiest of bikinis and the shortest of micro-mini skirts than they began to carp about guys' junk being discernible in speedos. Nowadays, even one's fellow man thinks it's creepy to wear them. We have been brainwashed into believing such a display is almost indecent at the beach or swimming pool.

Women have breasts and pubic mounds. Men have dicks and balls. But some insane agenda takes over when it comes to swimwear. One sex dresses to accentuate its differences; the other sex dresses to mask its differences. It's NOT gay or obscene to have sex organs. A lot of guys admit to being proud to display a nice bulge in jeans and yet they think it wrong to wear speedos. I guess bike shorts will be the next thing to come under fire. Not that I wear them - I'm not a cyclist - but I expect we will one day have cyclists wearing overalls in the Tour de France!

It's my feeling that men in America are embarrassed to wear them , for fear that people will think they are Gay. Not mention afraid someone will see what they are packing. Plus it's not the standard , big baggie, cover your body from the waist down to the knee, known as the board short. Guys need to get over all this and just wear them, and the change will slowly come around.

Just make sure you wear a dark colour speedo. Cause if you go to the loo for a pee and forget to shake, it may be a little embarrasing with a wee wet spot.
