Man, I hate those baggy, calf length shorts they call a swimsuit these days!!! How can anyone be so modest? I got some laughs at a water park for wearing a speedo but at least it doesn't pour water for an hour after I get out and keep me cold til it's dry! The smaller, the better for me. I'm not unfashionable usually, but can't get into this trend at all.

ScottDec 21, 2009I agree, you might as well be wearing pants if you are going to wear some of today's swimsuits. You get all kind of looks for wearing speedos, but I would trade them for shorts any day.

DaveLawFeb 19, 2010The trouble with speedos' is that they are to restrictive. I hate that feeling of my penis pulled in and much prefer boardies if I have to wear something as I prefer to wear nothing underneath. Same as underwear much prefer loose fitting over jockey pants.

I just love speedo no matter i am at the Ymca or beach

Look at european folks, speedo is no big deal for them. I think in the state most guys are self conscious about their body. Speedo use to be a norm, but somehow God know when they change it to those ungly board short. I still love my speedo and my speedo tan line

gabareMar 10, 2010i was watching high school swimming on tv the other day and the majority of boys were wearing skin tight shorts to their knees, only saw one wearing a speedo. nt1819 there is a double standard for men and women at the beach see heavy girls and women and older women wearing bikinis and no one bats a eyes but they do for the men, why do i want to wear shorts below my knees when i'm nude i'll look like a tan banana.

I believe everyone has a right to express what they want to wear and not judge by the public.ReactReply

rolie100Mar 17, 2010It is right that here in Holland (Europe) a speedo is quite normal. Some public pools do not allow baggy pants because of hygiene reasons. On the beaches you see a mix of speedo's and baggy pants. A thong or a jockstrap are not quite common on our beaches. Those who do not want to wear a speedo or a baggy pant, can visit one of our 30 nudist beaches along our 250 km (160 miles) coast line or one oft the 55 other public places for naturistic recreation. I think we are quite blessed with the number of nude beaches and recreation areas.
Naked greetings fron Holland,

bluebermudaApr 1, 2010I find it amazing that in 2010 Speedos are not considered appropiate and boardshorts seem to be the prefered swuimsuit for men. When I was younger everyone wore either Speedos or normal swim trunks. During Spring break in the sixties many male college students wore Speedos and it was considered quite normal. Ironically, thongs are worn by many men in south Florida, especially in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area.http://www.beachndance.com/In addition it is not uncommon for men to wear cock socks both on textile beaches and for walking/running and bicycling in public as well while simply enjoying a drink at an outdoor cafe. I have purchased and worn many Banana Peelz http://bananapeelz.com suits in public while in South Florida without a problem. Here are some photos of a gentleman wearing both thongs as well as a cock sock in South Florida.http://www.flickr.com/photos/7989287@N08/page2/I am not quite sure why he is wearing a bungee cord suit with his cock sock, perhaps it is so as to give the illusion that he is wearing a thong. I can assure you however that a cock sock alone is perfectly acceptable as well as legal to wear anywhere in public while in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami south Florida area. As long as your genitals are covered you may wear what you please and still be in full compliance with the law. Surely, if one may wear a cock sock then it should be perfectly acceptable to wear a Speedo.

why do we call it a speedo instead of a bikini its cut the same way as what a female wears.
ReactReply - GAgabareApr 8, 2010the other day i went fishing at the state park , while motoring around i saw to females sunbathing on the rocks wearing their bikini's and wondered how long it would take for the park police to arrive if that was me in my bathing suit sunning instead of them. yes you know there is a double standard..ReactReply
