What has happened to society here? We seem to be turning back into Victorian times when it was a scandal if a women showed her ankle. It's about wearing clothing in the water. Would you wear baggy shorts to take a bath? Why do men have to wear shorts down to their knees to swim in the ocean or a lake? Who wants to sink wearing all that fabric or get chapped from waiting hours for your clothing to dry when you get out of the water. I always think it looks stupid to see a woman wearing a super tiny bikini, but in order for her boyfriend to be macho he has to wear baggy shorts down to his knees. We had nude swimming in our public junior and senior high school for p.e. Class for boys. I always thought when I wore a Speedo for the swim team that I was wearing enough. Europeans have a much more relaxed attitude towards their bodies. We used to be able to wear short jogging shorts out in public in the 80's--even Tom Selleck did on Magnum, P.I. Now it's all about baggy boxers and saggy pants--wear your Speedo and let it be someone else's problem.
I don't think that they are gay at all. I am 25 years old I am not gay and I wear one at the beach. However, I don't prance around in them. I wear shorts to the water and take them off right before I go in. I like the way they feel and fit and they don't take so long to dry.
I wear speedos, being gay doesn't define me nor do the clothes I wear. We are born the way we are and clothing can't change that. Wear speedos if you want to and don't listen to ignorant people. You only live once, so be happy and have fun.
I don't think they're all gay. I've seen some pretty awful looking speedo's on the beaches in Florida, being worn by men that are there with their wives and children. Most of them needed to go look in a mirror before they left for the beach, though.
The truth about the gay thing is simple....the speedos are so little and it shows all the junk!!! That's what it is...LOL
