Why do gay men wear speedos?

Different people like different things.

That doesn’t answer my question at all. I want a real answer

It's always only the ones who are desperate for attention.

People like speedos. I don't, but some people do.

What exactly needs explaining? Are you unfamiliar with the concept of tastes that differ from yours?

Seriously? Do you think you're original? Because you're really not. You're actually basic as fuck for having this "opinion."

So it’s a show off thing? While Dont straight himbos wear Speedo’s then? If they are not European and truly straight. A guy wearing a Speedo even with an amazing body. Say a guido. It never happens

So you can see their gingerbread……

It’s more of a stereo type that’s true. Not an opinion. Who crawled up your Speedo? Lol. Super hostile about it lol. If stereo types have some truth in them. Where does gay men wear speedos cone from? It’s not an opinion. I want to know

[quote]That doesn’t answer my question at all. I want a real answer

There isn't an answer that will satisfy you so just stop.

Preening

That’s a good answer r8 😆 seriously

Europeans and Australians wear speedos too. In fact, for a while, I thought it was a culture thing. As for gays, gays like to wear more provocatively when it comes to showing skin. And speedo is a skimpy pick while having some modesty still. I detest thongs and G-strings in public though.

[quote]While Dont straight himbos wear Speedo’s then?

Maybe because Speedos are associated with gay men and they're homophobic?

Except the stop part. I still want to hear theories why gay men wear speedos. So I’m assuming it’s preening gay style that gays have copied and it’s a kind of peacocking thing

Why do women wear string bikinis? They want to.

I type fast. I dont care. *autocorrect. You are basically saying what I’m saying. WHY is wearing a Speedo associated with gays. Where did it come from?

Because many straight men are too slouchy and slovenly to wear them well, OP. Self-confidently wearing a Speedo doesn't mesh with their cargo shorts and hoodie dudebro identities.

Speedos were invented during the French Revolution, but they didn't take off until Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and Syria, around 1800. It was hot and they liked to show off their bodies as they swam in the Nile.

Very out of shape gay men wear speedos . It’s not only good bodies at the gay beach

Wow, OP's a thin-skinned psycho. I'm here for the meltdowns.

[quote]WHY is wearing a Speedo associated with gays.

Is it though? I think it's more associated with Europeans and with sketchy straight guys.

I think you're overstating the gay/speedo association.

Are you new to being gay? Are are you very old and out of touch?

Why do you type so crazy? Are you insane?

Yes I know it’s not a thing in European. But it is very specific to gay men. No one has answered. I have no clue why the response is so angry LOL. My skin is thick, give me a good answer. You haven’t. At all

I like it!

“ I like it, Picasso”

[quote]Yes I know it’s not a thing in European.

What is your first language?

European is an adjective. The noun, for the continent, is Europe. And it [italic]is[/italic] "a thing" in Europe.

Are you okay?

I’m fine thank you. You are so up right about what autocorrects and grammar. Do you wear sweater vests? Why do gay men wear speedos? ? ? ?

You've been given answers, OP. You just don't want to acknowledge them. There is no 1 right answer, anyway.

[quote]I think it's more associated with Europeans

Having worked at international camps for a few summers, I have come to associate Speedos with Europeans and South Americans.

Oh no It corrected to up right instead of up tight. Hear comes sweater vest man 😂

Ok. Let’s say... You are at the gay beach in Miami. Yes. Many are European. But why at specifically the 12th street gay beach , 95 percent brightly colored , and the new trend (flesh colored) speedos are the swimwear of choice? .. by the gays

[quote]Why do gay men wear speedos? Why do Frenchmen wear 'slips'?

[quote]You are so up right about what autocorrects and grammar.

Are you drunk?

Yes it’s a stereotype like all French smoke , gay men wearing speedos is a stereotype. That is true.. why ?

What's OP's disorder? Anyone know? Is this mental illness or just stupidity? Is it OCD? Is OP autistic? All of the above?

🙄 you proved my point mr sweater vest

What is the disorder for a gay men that gets easily offended when someone says the group of men he associated with wear speedos.? Then gets very angry at someone questioning a thing that can be easily observed. What is the disorder. Someone who is a Karen/Kevin? Up tight , takes themselves too serious, sanctimonious? What is that disorder.. anyone? And.. also. Why do gay men love to wear speedos??

[quote]But why at specifically the 12th street gay beach , 95 percent brightly colored , and the new trend (flesh colored) speedos are the swimwear of choice? .. by the gays

Because they're probably a majority there, anyway, trOllP.

Btw, stop using "sweater vest" as a deflection from your idiotic language usage errors when commenters point them out. Perhaps you would benefit from wearing one, yourself.

No Kevin. I don’t wear your sweater vests 🙃. Ok. I’m at the gay beach in Chicago. Not Miami because you will just deflect it’s Europeans. I’m in Chicago. Why are all the gays wearing speedos? I’m on a gay cruise, why are they all wearing speedos? I’m in puerto Vallarta at a pool party. Why is everyone wearing brightly colored speedos? Why! Kevin!!!???? Why!

I can't even tell who the OP is anymore.

Looooool 😂

How did we get on sweater vests?

Such a strange thread.

Englishman wearing a French cotton 'slip' in 1961.

Nylon Speedos not yet manufactured in 1961

Why? Kevin (mr sweater vest). Whyyyy do gay men wear speedos. 8 out of 10 gay men will wear Speedo. Tell me why!

Tedious trOllP is tedious.

Hate them. so unattractive

Is it a bottom thing. ? The more gay the Speedo the more of a bottom the person. 🤨

Semi-Buttock Alert

R34 you sound strangely obsessed.

I love them on a guy. Form fitting. Leaves nothing to the imagination. Sexy!

OP, I apologize for all the impertinent responses you are receiving to your legitimate query. In fact, there is a good reason for the lack of a clear response. Those of us who are card-carrying homosexuals ARE NOT ALLOWED to reveal the whys and wherefores of Speedo wearing in a public forum. It violates the pledge we sign when we are recruited. However, if you take a screen shot of the both sides of the credit or debit card you used to join and post those images here, I will gladly furnish you with the desired information.

I wear them for swimming, I do a lot of lap swimming at the pools, usually about 2 km a day.

Speedos are favoured by anyone that does a lot of actual swimming (as opposed to just sitting in the water or playing), especially competitively, anything baggy is uncomfortable and slows you down

And they are common here down under. I wear them to the beach when I do go, why have two different pieces of swimwear.. Its only America that is all uptight about Speedos etc, the rest of the world doesnt give a shit. Here its not a "gay" thing its just what guys wear to swim

To answer OP's question, I guess the reason more gay men wear Speedos in the US is that gay men have gotten past all the puritan hang ups and bullshit about being naked or nearly naked. Plus they tend to have somewhat better bodies than straight men (although there's plenty of exceptions)

Instead of asking dumb-fuck questions OP, why don't you visit Australia where the Speedo was born, or Europe where it's also worn, and where those who do wear it -- gay and straight -- don't have your sick and sad body hangups.

If you have big dick, wrap it in a speedo to show that you're superior to most men?

Money can't buy your own dick, only other guys'.

Imagine OP going to Germany and its tiny head exploding by all the nude sunbaking in public parks.

R52 yeah I done that, but in Switzerland. And not just nude sunbaking, but outdoor sex as well..... actually, mostly sex. It was fun.

Op's head sure would of done exploded seeing the outdoor orgy I was in. Good times

Because they're WHORES

It’s weird but Holland is cracking down on public nudity — they put cows in the cruising areas in an attempt to stop it. Probably because the muslims are so powerful there, and it never had the big FKK nudism culture that Germany had.

Because we are all environmental activists and save fabric to heal the planet.

Try them on yourself go out trolling and you may find out why

OP - you’re getting huffy demanding an answer. So why don’t you start by stating why this is even a question on your mind. WHY do you want to know?

I wear speedos at gay events or in Europe b/c I work out hard, wore them as a swimmer growing up, and I have a nice ass and a big cock. Speedos are when you get to show off all the work in the gym. I think that is why most guys wear them. I don't find them comfortable though and wear board shorts when just hanging around. Like I wouldn't wear a speedo as an adult at a country club.

The reason why is the guys are either showing off their hot ass or their big dick. The speedo just makes it more apparent. End of story

What happened to OP? Did the drugs wear off?

I grew up in Spain and have been wearing them since I was a toddler then I started swimming and wore it for the sport.

I think they look trashy on most men because they don't have a hot body to show off. Muffin tops or a flat ass make for a shocking looking speedo. The muscles twinks love to wear them as they storm around a beach or pool pretending to be a female super model. I think mid-thigh trunks work a lot better.

Why doesn't OP seek help for her OCD?

This might have changed and I could have this wrong, but I believe in France, you have to/had to wear Speedos in public pools b/c the were supposedly more hygienic (less material, etc).

Straight American men hide their genitalia. European men are not afraid to let the let the world know that they have have cocks and balls. Gay men want to show off theirs.

I can't decide if OP looks more like Nellie Oleson or Veruca Salt.

I do know OP is a walking temper tantrum.

I’m so confused why I’m crazy , ocd, drunk, having a temper tantrum 😆. Because I asked a question. Kevin, you are too easily offended. So far the best answer is that gay men are always about sex and wear speedos to show what they are packing and to show off dick and ass. Best answer so far. The Kevin that hates me I find hilarious! 😘

OP, what is your hypothesis?

My hypothesis is that like all of modern culture that has become all about being attention whores. The more revealing and sexual the clothing the more popular. So it has appeared that more gay men wear speedos but they actually have always worn speedos

I believe that because of the sex on the brain/ cruising like culture of always being ready to pick up guys and have sex is the reason gay men wear speedos. It’s like others have said , it is peacocking and putting their assets on display for being available to have sex at any time.

Conclusion: Gay men majorly wear speedos because they are over sexed and want to fuck all the time. 👨‍🔬 🤓

But why, oh why does it BOTHER you, OP?

Because I like to wear one you fucking TWAT. It doesn't bunch up and slow me down in the water. You're a goddamned idiot.

When did I say it bothers me? It bothered the Kevin that I asked the question. It’s a stereotype that has truth based in it and I asked a general question. Ask Kevin why he had a hair up his ass about it. I was just asking a question. 🤷‍♂️

I guess gay men that wear speedos hate being part of a stereotype LOL 😆

I will answer: because gay men are intrrested in cocks and VPLines. So gay men show off their dicks in tight Speedos for other gay men. Women don't care about VPL so straight men don't wear clothes that accentuate their pee pees. That is all.

[quote]Why do gay men wear speedos?

To show of their dicks.

OP has a beer belly, he's jealous of guys with nice bodies.

Because I've got an ass that stops traffic. Next stupid question?

JFC because they look hawt on hawt guys.

Can OP be this stupid? Or is it all a troll, say anything, for any attention?

Speedos are a younger menz thing. My gentleman callers, both the rugged and the well-dressed, are more mature than that.

What makes OP think speedos are the exclusive purview of gay men?

Has the jack ass ever seen a competitive swim meet, or a diving competition or a water polo match?

Or a school or municipal pool anywhere in Europe.

I can't imagine why.

They often call me Speedo/but my real name is Mr. Earl.

I’m a foreigner so I grew up wearing Speedos. Then I came here and wore them cause I am athletic with a big dick and butt. I also do swimming 2/3 days a week, so I wear them there too. I do wear the thicker ones.

You type fat, OP.

[quote] That doesn’t answer my question at all. I want a real answer

Who in the Violet Beauregard fuck are YOU to demand this, cuntessa? No one rang for you. Go waddle up to someone wearing one on a beach, stomp your feet and ask them.

OP, I declare you cancelled.

OP Are you fucking retarded? It's all about packaging the goods to best effect. You see him in a Speedo you know exactly what you're getting (or not getting).

Again. Kevin! Why am I a troll, a beer belly, crazy, ugly, mentally ill. Because I asked this question. Kevin. I find it hilarious that taking about gay men wearing speedos gets under your skin so much. It’s amazing 😻.

Uh Ohhh it autocorrected to “taking” instead of “talking”. Here comes Kevin to tell me off. Lol 😆 🙃 😜

Why does any man wear speedos? Sick-making.

Agree. Speedos are trashy. Well fitting swim shorts above the knee are appropriate. Board shorts for dude bros. Speedos are gay gay gay

Me too R86. Speedos are just more comfortable for my huge uncut veiny flaccid cock and my bubble butt. It's how we roll in Latvia.

And I wear the thin ones so everybody gets a gander of god's blessing to me.

I imagine gay men wear Speedos for the same reason straight women wear skimpy bikinis. Because they can.

Who give a fuck what's "appropriate"? Speedos are designed for swimming. They balance the most efficient amount of fabric to wear to reduce drag in the water with keeping everything fully covered while also providing a full range of movement. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs their head examined.

When you look this amazing you can wear speedos too.

I prefer Speedos when swimming. And much better for drying off. Wet board shorts get all clammy when out of the water. And I don’t care what other people think.

They are hot R100, but it's a little embarrassing to see are Navy dancing to Taylor Swift, but Gen Z is different.

Also, what is a "Kevin", OP? Is that a male Karen? Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Won't someone please SHIT IN MY MOUTH??!?!???!?

WHORES, I tell you!!

I give you Peter Waterfield. All the reason needed.

^^ fuck yeah

Because speedo tan lines are hot. Board short tan lines are not.

grrrr

I think all fit men (gay or straight) who wear speedos do so because they think they look good in them and they want others to see how good they look. Plus I think you have to be a person who has no shyness about your naked body. There might even be a bit of exhibitionist in men who wear a speedo.

If I had my youthful body again, I'd definitely wear one!

Nothing is hotter than a twink in a speedo.

This thread is useless if it's not only posts of gay men in Speedos. No talk, just show please.

Because they look sexy in ‘em OP

I love Speedos. I wear them. Check that -- I wear Budgy Smugglers, Noddle Bagz, and Tackle Trunks Trunks from Optimum Sport.

I work out.

I swim laps. I love the feel of them in the pool. Do I look perfect in them? No. But wearing them makes me swim harder and work out harder.

I'll wear them under swim trunks, if I'm at the beach or at a pool just hanging out.

I wear this pair:

Would I wear them if I'm hanging out at a gay beach/pool with other gay guys? I don't know. I'll have to swim more laps in the pool before I answer that!!

I agree with R113...

less is MOAR

Because gay men are TACKY

I think they’re gross. We need to return to a more puritain time when people dressed to COVER THEMSELVES.

If you’re going to the beach or pool from brunch or shopping, a Speedo can easily be worn under your shorts and will dry fast after swimming. They’re practical.

If you have a muffin top or super flat ass, I agree, a Speedo is not flattering.

R107 is right.

Thank you r99! That peek of pubes drove me over the edge! I could see Gregory in his partying days doing a line of blow off someone's hard cock.

One more vote for Speedo tan lines

Waiting

Who the Sam Hill is going to buy the cow when you're giving away the milk for free? I find Speedos VULGAR! Someone fetch my smelling salts! Fan my head!

Weren't they originally developed for speed swimmers as a way to cut down on drag?

OP, think about why straight women wear skimpy clothes and then try to think of something gay men and straight women have in common.

To be fair the vast majority of men do not look good in speedos, even those that are younger and in shape. You have to have a certain body type and have symmetrical proportions to look good.

Not sure when "Puritain" times were but in ye olde worlde time svelte boys and men swam nude.

Because they look sexy and feel good on the body.

Weird thing to get so pressed about. I wear them because I prefer the feel of swimming with them rather than shorts on, they are better for tanning, they look better and generally feel more comfortable to me. If you don't like wearing them, don't.

^ stop being so sane

Tan lines are so ugly and the worst thing about bourgeois US 80s gay culture full top. As ugly as bra strap lines, and as achingly naff as rainbow bead necklaces.

But most American men attracted to men view men who wear speedos in a negative light, so wearing speedos doesn’t make a male more attractive to most. It makes them less so

Outside of porn/strippers, a joke, modeling, or organized swimming, I’ve never seen a masculine male wear speedos

In other words, like most Amurkans, you've never stepped foot outside Amurka. God bless.

I live in america

I too am American. 🇺🇸

r136= too dumb to breathe.

Function is Form

Dads can be sexy too

Haven’t been on holiday for ages, but I tended to wear speedos because you get a much better tan; its not great having a tan line halfway up your thighs. Plus, I had the body for it so, why not.

Miami realness

Ask this guy

R143: hot daddy!

[quote]I’m asking seriously.

No, you're obviously not.

If a man doesn't have a healthy basket a speedo looks like nothing more than a panty.

The better question is why do men wear board shorts, you might as well just wear long pants into the water. They are not flattering at all.

I’ll tell you why OP. Because gay men tend to be in better shape than straight men and they want to show it off to attract: men. DUH!

I’ve been doing it for decades, and it still works and it’s much more comfortable at the beach and in hot weather.. Also European men all are more likely to wear Speedo-like trunks because they are not hung up on male skin like Americans- towel dancing etc, which I find hysterical with all the body and crotch grooming and tatting. Americans are very hung up; like the OP.

[quote] Americans are very hung up

Yes, it's true. And has been so for 3 centuries.

I travel the world and the only place I've ever seen speedos associated with gays is the US, not sure about Canada, though. All men in Latin America wear speedos, children, grandpas, everyone. In Europe, even far east, they do it too. Middle east and many northern African countries too. It is an American thing, yet another stupidity brought by American puritanism.

BTW speedos were not invented during the French revolution, it was the attire of most natives in the new world, it's found in Andean mummies in mezzo America and in South East Asian burial grounds too. It's a natural type of clothing to cover the bare minimum in a society that isn't affected by puritanic Christianity and in societies with a hot climate.

Because.

So light it helps you to fly

I want to see UKGuys big thick meat stuffed into a speedo.

They are much better for swimming laps. If you are a swimmer, trunks create and drag that slows you down. When you wear speedos, you are working against yourself.

Baggy trunks for me. I get easy erections, esp. on a beach of half-naked men.

And once again we enter the time warp back to 1987

Olympic swimmers generally wear long tight shorts that look like biking shorts

R163 R168 Those "washboard abs? look quite unnatural.

His whole life must be a constant strain striving to achieve and maintain those 'picture-perfect' abdominals. I bet he purges his bowels before every photo-taking season.

Personally, I think it's a tacky look. Nothing worse than a guy who is screaming "look at me". I think guys should wear normal swim trunks or board shorts (see attached). But it's not my place to judge what others wear on the beach.

You just judged, you twat.

I was overweight all of my childhood and throughout college. After moving to New York City, I decided it was time to get this weight thing under control, and so started a strict regimen of diet and exercise. It took me a year and a half to get down to what I considered was a good body for a gay man, but I realized I couldn’t sustain it.

I took a vacation with my mom to Cozumel, and right after we settled in the hotel, I donned my newly-purchased Speedo and we headed to the beach. We spent the afternoon having her take pictures of me – on the beach, in the water, by the pool, diving, lounging on the beach chair, etc. All the while she complained that I looked too thin and that my body type needed more weight.

When I got back to NYC, I decided that I wanted to maintain a weight loss, but not one as severe. I gained 20lbs over the course of that year and have stayed there ever since. And I’ve never worn a Speedo again.

...but I still have the pics!

Those pics or it never happened R172.

bc they are WHORE! Op

I don't know if I would want my mom taking photos of my in a speedo but to each their own.

Omg

Because most of them are sluts.

Lazing around

Not 100% fool proof of course, but Speedo is often a useful signifier for who’s top and who’s bottom in a relationship

So the Speedo guy is usually the bottom??

r180 if the top is hung, he'd likely prefer the shorts for freeballin'... though with a prominent bubble butt if you plan on getting in the water, they may just peel right off you when you get out.

R172 had his mother taking his gay thirst trap photos in multiple locations over a day of her vacation. 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮😵‍💫😵‍💫😵🐷🐷🐷

Straight men wear them too.

Versatile: the model is Aussie singer/actor and DL Fave Tim Draxl

Usually only very queeny guys wear speedos. It's like the closest thing they get to wearing bikinis. You don't find regular gay guys wearing them. You see a gaggle of gays in speedos, you know there's not an ounce of testosterone in the bunch.

This R198 and no mention of Brazil yet? OP in Brazil, it is not gay at all. Straight, gay, young or old, most men wear "Speedos" locally known as sungas. It's pretty common to see men in their sungas walking around, hanging out at the corner bar, or shopping at the supermarket, drugstore, etc.

Once, while at Citibank blocks from the beach, a gorgeous guy entered the bank in a damp, white sungas and flip flops, and that's it. I was looking at him, because he might as well have been naked because you could see everything, but no one at the bank raised an eyebrow.

BTW, I was looking for a photo so I googled Rio Ipanema gay and this FB group photo came up, Hmmm, I wonder who the Americans are? By comparison, they resemble puritans next to Brazilians.

OP, as many have said it is very much not a gay thing, it is an American cultural thing.

Because gay men want to be like entitled white cunts... shopping for the latest trendy speedo patterns at ridiculous prices ($100).

Then they and their wannabe-cunt friends get to spend all winter getting into their "summer body" - obsessing over the latest HIIT workouts and carb-minimal diets.

When summer arrives, they get to pack 25 of their favorite new speedos for a 3 day weekend. They get to do an ultimate fast the night before their big reveal.

And the day arrives, as someone above posted, when they can storm the beach and pretend they are Giselle Bundchen.

(Ask any gay man in Puerto Vallarta where they should get a swimsuit. 9/10 they'll be so *original* and say Alphonse. The local speedo designer that is *by appointment only* Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz).

Further illustration of the point made at r179

They’re advertising what they’ve got for good sex. So if you’re a horny slut show it off and sell it to the highest bidder.

Many men (gay and straight) who work out and build beautiful bodies have a healthy streak of exhibitionism in them. They like to show off the wares and they get off on the admiring looks from others.

When you got it, flaunt it.

You won't have it forever.

Those ridiculous baggy and daggy shorts in R170s post. It's difficult to believe US men actually wear them, but one easily forgets how puritanical and infantile over bodies the country actually is. Apparently even the Speedos sold in the US are of a more conservative cut with more fabric than those sold in Europe or the Pacific.

r209, I would modify that to American men under 60 or so. My Dad and his brothers/cousins would have no problem having naked conversations. They did the nude swimming at the YMCA, played sports in school, etc. I think school gym showering probably started dying out in the mid 1980s or so.

^ That's a very high cut at the side.

Selfie realness

R265: all the more to lure the boys to the yard Lolz

The bigger question is,,, why don’t more straight men with good bodies and large genitals wear speedos!??

R272 Isn’t that the case in Australia? Are there Jacob Elordi Speedo pics out there?

Happy 30th birthday @matt.suave

The blond in r247 is hawt to death!!

Uhhh no he’s not

More for me.

Thanks y’all for no help at all, I had to find it my damn self!

Andrew

Homosexuals and Australians, the kind of men who wear speedos!

Facts

Speedo, but with more cloth

R279 I would wear speedos if I looked like that in them.

Speedos r ghey

R284: And you better believe it GURLfriend!

^ a better link

Aussies at the polls

^ Aussie Dad is so cool!

Greens and blues

Speedos at Oz polling booth.

Speaking of Australians, I’ve been enamored of the tall, striking, openly Gay water polo player since I discovered him on TikTik by the name of Tom Hissey. He was much more active a year ago, then dropped away for awhile, but is a back but low key now. So sexy, flirty, hunky, fun.

With that surname he'll make a wonderful Eldergay.

R282, that cut is so much more masculine and less Pervy looking. It could gain acceptance in parts of America.

R291 Tom isn't a party boy and doesn't have a husband.

R293: yes, it’s like heading towards the boxer brief direction, though not quite yet. And yes I’d imagine the generally more conservative American male population would find that more acceptable

Hangin’

And New York has some of the worst beaches

^ What's that fence for? Is that a private beach?

R298: I’ve no idea. I just kinda knew that that sorry seeming strip of ‘sands’ is near Brooklyn

Maybe some New Yorkers can enlighten?

Speedo is no longer Australian owned. The styles the company markets to America, rather than Europe and Oceania, are cut much more modestly to cater for the more prudish US sensibility. There was an article about it some time back.

Sand fences do the exact same thing that snow fences do, which is why it’s the same fencing.

Strength in numbers

Today's Google Doodle is wearing a speedo.

R303: OMG so cute

Not really a hard question, is it? It leaves little to the imagination.

Another option that is also quite revealing is the short square cut trunk. Those also tend to be popular with the gays.

[quote] It leaves little to the imagination.

Thank God.

They don't wear Speedos, dummy.

They wear $400-$600 Dolce & Gabbana or Versace or Balenciaga bathing suits that are cut like Speedos. Speedos are too low-end for the gays who wear bathing suits like that.

Gaysian realness

R307: I think nowadays ‘Speedo’ is used in the same way like ‘Xerox’ ‘band-aid’ etc

You will be asked to leave many American public pools if you wear them

R310 are you fucking serious? They're swimwear for Chrissakes. Is this retardation USA wide or just a state by state thing?

R97 Women don't just wear skimpy bikinis because "they can". It takes a lot of effort to look good in a bikini (same for speedos/gays) and thus the investment needs to be worthwhile. The reasons are (same for gays): 1) They want to attract sexual partners. 2) They want to measure up favorably against sexual competitors.

I find both bikinis and Speedo-cut men's bathing suits to be weird looking, but people aren't wearing what they choose to wear for my sake.

I wear what appeals to me and I am fine with anyone else doing the same.

There are tons of fashion choices that I find weird and unappealing.

I also think it's weird that women have to cover their breasts at the beach. Bikini tops look awkward to me. I went to South Beach one time during college and was initially shocked by seeing boobs and within an hour, I realized what's weird is that women have to wear a strip around their torsos to cover the shame of their nipples...super strange. Do I want to see boobs? Not really. Do I want to see long, saggy, deflated boobs? Not really. But plenty of older men have them, covered in long curly gray hair, even, and no one forces them to wear a tube top.

Red becomes him

OP, It is very simple. I think the Speedo came from Australia, it’s good swimwear. Trim. Simply that. I have 9 pair, mostly solid colors with side panels (some 3" sides, some 4.5") in another color. The key to not look like trying to be a male model is to wear one size larger. Easy comfort, the fabric moves. Men wear them because they look good in Speedos. I do, you should try it. Note, OP, Speedo is a brand, a line, not a name for all briefs. Just about all the photos posted here are not men in Speedos, but are fit -- and some not -- men in all types of tiny briefs.

OP, it’s not us, it’s you. Your limitation, cliche thinking. Get out of your gay box. Posts here have tried to help you, no matter the bad grammer and poor typing, You keep saying no one answers your question. Your post is beyond consideration.

Ghey

I have never worn a Speedo-type bathing suit because I would feel silly in it. But that's a personal complex. Actually, I signed up for a swim team when I was a kid and I dropped out as soon as I saw I'd have to wear a tiny bathing suit that I thought looked like underwear.

Some men with great physiques look good in them but I don't find them arousing at all. I think most *gay* men who wear them tend to be the gym-bunny type or very thin exhibitionists who want a lot of attention and get a thrill out of their junk being visible. Like I said, I don't find the look arousing at all but to each their own.

To me, a Speedo kind of looks like a bra for balls.

No taste and being a loose whore

Is this too loose?

Peachy

I don’t think anyones posted a shot of Max Emerson yet, a man who is never very far away from a Speedo and the perfect form to model it on.

What if their butt 🍑 smells like tuna 🍣 fish 🐟 dough???

Booty bump

baby got back @ R321

R322 I wonder what's the etiquette about speedos displaying the pubic hair?

Are there 70 beach inspectors as shown here now? They would carry a measuring tape in order to measure whether the speedos were obscene or not obscene.

Malachi Marx on right. Still one of my all time faves rocking a Speedo.

Despite all the protestations on here that Speedos are just practical, for many gay men they seem to be a way to confirm their gayness, to set themselves apart from straight men.

It's the sartorial equivalent of Gay Voice, something we've all seen friends suddenly adopt once they came out. (Yes, there are plenty who are born speaking that way, but many do not and adopt it when they come out as part of a new gay identity.)

As for "why" it seems clear that gay men like showing off their asses and dicks and that a Speedo confirms all those hours spent at the gym.

A great example of all this is that thread from earlier this week about the Two Gay Bears who adopted a little girl and worse matching pink Speedos that matched her one-piece bathing suit.

Down Under Hunk

^^^ This is the sexy, out, water polo, TikTok Australian I mentioned at R291, Tom Hissey. He’s also been in the armed forces and done stunt work in films.

R330: thanks for the reminder!

I was trying hard to recall why this hunk showed up on my Instagram feed, as I follow so many IG studs/thirst traps based on suggestions from so many different sources Lolz

Interesting detail: Speedo with chains

Is that so no one at the beach steals his wallet he has stuck up his ass?

Small and tight

Speedoing the way to Mental Health

Rouge et blanc

R337: that account is private

R328. Gave them best explanation by far. That is the answer why “the gays” wear the speedos

[quote] best explanation

It's pointless offering an 'explanation' to the OP. The OP has trolled us with a rhetorical question and silly scenario in order to trollishly provoke us into providing 330 thirsty pictures of 330 thirsty men. Some more so than others.

Speedos are just panties really….

I am the op r339. So I guess it’s NOT pointless to give OP (me) an explanation. I have been linking since I started the thread. Finally someone took the time to Answer the question and how they see it. I finally got a satisfying answer. The only “trolls” are the ones that get upset that I asked a question. Also I’ve never worn a Speedo in my life , and the kind of guy that wears a Speedo ( not from abroad) is not my type and none of the guys pics posted did I care about, so.... thanks for the answer r328. All the angry about me asking the question. Umm. Kick 🦵 rocks 🪨

R340 I don't mind all the pics ;-)

Same reason some women wear string bikinis, OP.

Speedos make it possible for exhibitionist professionals to share photos thisclose to being totally naked without any social stigma. People who want to be porn stars but also want to make better life choices.

OP/R342 I remain unconvinced.

Unconvinced of what? . I don’t give a fck .

R342, R347 I'm unconvinced that you know how to spell and use a keyboard.

I like short gym shorts. I find them much sexier.

As for Speedos: I have quite a few good-looking friends with good bodies and I doubt if any of them would wear speedos.

R348. Cool. Still dint give a fck

Here’s on to please *both* sides of the aisle

^ Here’s ONE

R351 The guys on the far left with the pale blue speedos is stunning. Any background on that photo?

R353: that would be Matt @mattgeddie, he seems like a friendly guy

Because they can, because they can.

Evenly distributed

Matchy matchy

Pensive Speedo

Black and white

I missed this before R153 - I don't think I've got any photos of my big meat stuffed into a speedo, I honestly haven't had occasion to wear one for quite some time given that I've not been on a beach holiday for the past few years. I am planning to buy a few new ones this year though, perhaps I'll treat you :-D

I bet Erick A from NY1 wears a Speedo when he’s at the beach. Teehee!

Speedo in the sun

R354 Thanks. He's lovely.

T-shirt and Speedo: an almost fail-safe combo

Yellow submarine

Marrakesh realness

Because they shows all-a you gingerbread an' everyting, ya'know?

R282 VERY CLASSIC LOOK. GORGEOUS. Is he Italian? Latino?

Not my thing, but whatever

R349 Are you one of those queens prancing around in the same fluorescent blue/yellow/pink booty shorts you pranced around in 1995? Goodness they are so tacky.

Nothing like a grown ass Muscle Mary peacocking around a gym in her 55-year old steiroded fake tanned glory in something straight out of the International Male Catalog. Do you wear those tank tops that show your nips and your obliques too?

The West Hollywood Pride Committee called, it wants you to be its "Gay Pride in the 90s" float.

I preferred the OP shorts.

You can also wear it at the park

Not without getting ugly stares and pointing in most Of America, if not threatened arrest

Dancers have the best legs

Nice smile

Wear white if you’re confident enough

Why do they make some men so uncomfortable, OP?

[quote] Why do they make some men so uncomfortable, OP?

The OP has already explained his psychological issues and they're really too silly to deal with.

[quote] Why do gay men wear speedos?

Because they're easy to doff.

Once a DL Fave, but marriage and husband has rather reduced his appeal @taylorjphillips

Outdoor/Indoor wear

Brazilians also wear them to land-based festivals

Tanned

Micro-Speedo

Speedos are only hot on a very good body preferably European or Latino and NO signs of GAY FACE. That’s extremely rare but only time when hot , NO COOKIE 🍪 SMELLS 👃!!!

R390: does this pass the er ‘Smell Test’?

Faire attention!

A true LOL moment

Lawn friendly

This thread appears to have devolved from answering OP's question to just being posts of sexy men wearing nice tight, skimpy speedos

And that is just fine. OP's question has well and truly been answered already

A much more masculine and accepted option

Gravity defying

Lean

Aztec Summer

I noticed that the Brazilian guys’ dicks always point to the side in speedos. Almost everyone else’s points down. I’ve always wondered what that’s about. Are they semi hard?

At least One confirmed Top here

So stereotypical looking

R400 we Brazilians wear it that way because most of us have big dicks, and it just looks better that way.

Festive in Fire Island!

R404 Is that Matt Geddie again?

R404 I like that grey pair in the middle with a white crescent moon on each buttock.

Not really gay, but it’s DL FAVE Pietro Boselli wearing his own speedo design, Petra, so

R405: yes, that’s Matt. I don’t know why there’s an arrow in the pic below

R406: that looks like a very juicy butt, good pick

Purely gratuitous

R408 He has removed the speedo's modesty gusset in order to display his penis.

I hate faggoty speedos

R410 Good idea! I wish more guys did that

Young Springsteen lookalike

Barely there

A closer and sharper version of r351

r415 I want the short thick one the far right, those thighs!

R416: that would be Emilio @emilioirving, a resident in Emergency Medicine

Happy Pride!

F417 Those are not speedos, but he is lovely.

R419: Lolz I was sorta in a hurry to answer r416’s question, so didn’t really have time to search for one of him in speedo

Here’s a short vid of Emilio, Speedo-clad and boogieing, with Dr Balog and newly DL Fave Matt Geddie
