let's discuss Speedos

not my favorite look

Far left guy is great, the other 2 are pushing their luck. Chubby does NOT look good in speedos. Ever.

looking good!

OP likes to reply to herself

r1 is what I imagine most DLers look like, only nowhere near that thin

Y’all!!

Dataloungers like OP always complain not enough American guys wear Speedos anymore, and yet then they mock guys who do not look perfect in them.

As long as you keep mocking guys for wearing them, most guys will continue to steer clear of them.

Speedos are tacky and for older European men. Americans have never really embraced them.

R8 has never been to Australia.

r7 "most guys will continue to steer clear of them."

thank god

R9, would R8 have witnessed scads of Americans who embraced Speedos had he visited Australia?

[quote] [R1] is what I imagine most DLers look like, only nowhere near that thin

Are you kidding? He’s obese!

[quote]Speedos are tacky and for older European men. Americans have never really embraced them.

Bully for those Americans who know what they don't like: Speedos. High-speed trains. Walkable cities. Knowledge of multiple languages. Food additives. Not being the subject of adulation. "Socialized medicine." Speedos again...

R13 Meh, you tried

and succeeded, R14.

R13, Americans don’t like food additives?

A personal favorite.

As with most articles of clothing, if you have the body for it and select the correct size, you will look hot.

If you don't have the body for it, then it exacerbates the flaws.

most guys who wear them are really prissy

Prissy like this, R19?

Or like this. R19?

Or this, R19?

Randy should not have shaved his pubes.

R17 well damn that is nice

[quote]As with most articles of clothing, if you have the body for it and select the correct size, you will look hot.

This, R18 is right. I wear Speedos, but then I do a lot of exercise so I have the body for it, as R2 says chubby does not look good in Speedos, morbidly obese even less so. The guy at R1 is by far not the worst I've seen, he may be old but at least he isnt huge as so many are

Canadian figure skater Paul Poirier:

Here's where they are great

Thank god for divers!

You could nevah have told that Mr Thorpe was gay!

I love my Speedos. I swim a lot, and that they are great for. I'm too old to look good in anything, so now I prioritise function over look.

It’s mostly about body type and not just weight. Speedos look best on ectomorph body types while endomorphs and mesomorphs can look like they’re just wearing underwear in public. You can’t have too much of a body or it looks vulgar. It’s like the difference of a small breasted woman wearing a tube top vs. a woman with double Ds.

I'm in the UK and we learnt to swim in speedos, though we called them swimming trunks. So when I finished school, I was surprised that people generally mocked speedos, because that's all I'd ever swum in.

I still maintain they're the best thing to wear if you're swimming lengths, though I wouldn't wear them to the beach or an outdoor pool.

In short, if I'm wearing something to swim in - speedos are the best choice. If I'm wearing something near water, though I'll be spending more time out of said water, then I'll wear swim shorts instead.

Not bathing costumes?

Great thread!

At every gay campground and resort I've been to (across the country) every guy wears a speedo or loose shorts they can take off for nude sunbathing. I think big guys look cute in speedos too. On beefy guys- their legs/ thighs are one of their best features. Why hide it behind board shorts? You'll still see their gut wither way.

noodles

r34, big guys, fat guys!

The right guy, the right body type.

One can have a good body and be in shape, but the Speedos may not work for their body type.

Oh, the middle is very hairy.

OP, Speedos.

Not Spudos.

Which is very nice

In a european hotel once, an American dad giving out hell to the receptionist cos guys were wearing speedos...youd think they were nude by his tone.

I'm sure that he gave everyone else poolside a good laugh.

Bigger and thicker men seem to make the Speedos work. I don't see "prissy" and overall, I think water polo players would disagree.

To me, what's "prissy" is being scared of your own body and judgemental of others'.

that photo of Mark Spitz, in a speedo at the 1972 Munich Olympics did it for me as an 11 year old gay boy. Speedos on any man, are an Instant turn on forever more.

That photo linked at R44 is of Australian Rugby Players, not water polo (though water polo is practically "aquatic rugby").

The guy at R47 keeps his pits nicely trimmed.

Bully, sir!

R48 his name is Adam Ashley-Cooper - he played rugby for NSW and for Australia.

He, like almost all of the members of the state and national teams, is extremely gay friendly and LGB etc suportive - check out his Insta if you want some eye openers.

My favorite is guys who wear baggy board shorts to the beach but remove them to reveal perfect speedos when ready to swim. They dash into the water, do their thing, return to the beach, and immediately put on those board shorts again. Even if their bodies are not perfect, that strip tease performance always gets me.

I think the opposite of r44. I think Speedos work aesthetically better on leaner guys - you need a flat stomach. On larger guys they just look like panties.

No, fat Americans do not look good in a Speedo.

An AI DL anthem.

Personally I would ban Speedos outside of competitive swimming.

You believe in legislating what clothing people can wear, R57?

You may have a bright future in Afghanistan charging women for showing too much fringe under their veils.

I'm with R53, they look far better on lean guys.

[quote]No, fat Americans do not look good in a Speedo.

R54 Fat Australians and fat New Zealanders too.... ask me how I know. I have seen things I wish I had not

[quote]Personally I would ban Speedos outside of competitive swimming.

R57 The Iranian Morality Police have a career waiting for you!

In public swimming pools in France men are not allowed to wear swimming shorts, they are banned.

Men must wear swimming trunks. Sounds good to me.

R60 Trunks? I thought men were required to wear Speedo-liike swimwear at public swimming pools in France. Because of this many guys wear the same swimsuit at the beach.

Those are trunks, R61.

R62 Speedo-like swimsuits are generally referred to as "briefs." To me, "trunks" are more like short-shorts. This guide to men's swimwear styles goes along with what I've seen advertised my whole life.

In Europe swimming trunks are what you know as briefs.

European here and trunks are like shorts to me. Just look at google image.

Whoever this beefy guy is, he looks good in a Speedo.

I rocked a speedo playing a gay man.

This may come as a shock to you, R63, but different countries often have different terms for the same item.

Amazing, isn’t it?

"Budgie smugglers" in Australian slang. Budgy Smuggler is the brand.

R68 I'll play.. what country calls them trunks?

R69 are you Australian? I know this is a bit off topic but how is Australia a swimming superpower? They only have 27.6m people. How do they have so many top swimmers, winning so many Olympic medals. Is swimming something particularly big there?

I love them...especially Budgy Smugglers and Noodle Bagz which I wear when swimming laps at the gym. I never wear outside of there.

I hat board shorts...the curtains of shame...unless you are very lean and tall.

I love seeing Budgy Smugglers et al on guys like this:

^^^hate not hat^^^

Speedo wearability is based upon your body type. I've seen some chunky guys wear them okay and I seen some skinny guys looking emaciated wearing them. I would not be caught dead wearing them at 65 even if I had 100k worth of body cosmetic surgery. It's all about wearing something that is flattering to you that you feel good about wearing. Perfectly acceptable to appreciate the nice view of a hot nubile 20 year old in a speedo.

You can be fat, you can be tall. But you have to wear speedos

I know women are more used to doing it in public. But for me as a guy, it's just odd seeing a guys genitals on display as if it's just completely normal. For me, men in speedos with their dicks on display will always be sexualized. Women will wear bikini bottoms barely covering their labia while building sand castles with their kids. And it's a catch22 for men, if nothing is showing in your speedo then that's a bad look for you, but if your package is pronounced, it can look vulgar.

you sound prissy

R70 In England, "swimming trunks" almost always means speedos - which is mostly briefs (but could also be short-shorts) made of lycra. Essentially they're mostly worn when learning to swim, which is key because it's rare that you'd wear baggy shorts to swim in, given they're heavier and hence provide more drag.

We would view "speedos" as more of an American English term; especially as Speedo is seen as a brand here, rather than a generic name for swimwear. That said, like many Americanisms, it's worked its way into British English over time.

That said, it seems to be one of those things that has many names depending on where you are. "Togs" is mostly used in Ireland (and maybe Scotland), budgie smugglers is used in Australia, etc, etc.

R71 this isn’t the first time that you’ve asked about Australia and swimming so it’s obviously a bit of an obsession for you.

I’ll answer with a question to you: how is Norway, with a population of just 5.5 million, one of the most successful at the Winter Olympics?

Environment.

Find yourself a globe or world map, find Australia on the map and check out its coastline. There are a lot of beaches. Over 10,000. The majority of Australians live within a couple of hours of the coastline. It gets very hot in summer and is hot all year round in the tropics. Even inland towns have public swimming pools. Swimming lessons are compulsory for all children and many parents start their kids off at just a couple of months old. It’s the national sport.

Either all that or it’s the product of an East German style systemic doping program. What do you want to hear?

The Speedo brand was invented in Australia.

Aussies never talk about wearing “a speedo” - that’s very gay American. We say “he looks great in his speedos” or “those Smugglers are a great colour”.

I remember Theo Von in Speedos at some Road Rules Challenge competition show. He was diving into a pool and he sure was booty-licious. I can't find any photos of this online, but I'm sure they exist.

Fit, lean men with large genitals should be MANDATED to wear them!

Out of shape men should be prohibited from wearing them.

his dick was very impressionable

If you're an Olympic body, great. Otherwise stick to shorts.

So delicate R84. The human body is beautiful even when fat.

No it isn't. I could say something really rude but I won't.

R85 you can believe that and say at the same time people should wear things that flatter their body. Speedos flatter very few people’s bodies.

Why can’t people wear whatever the fuck they like, R87?

Gay body fascism is so 1990s but I guess that that makes sense given the DL’s demographic.

I wore them when I was at my leanest and travelled to Hawaii. When I got back to home country I lived near the beach so continued to wear them. I was living in a boarding house and left them to dry on the clothesline one day. But when I returned to retrieve them they were gone! I asked my fellow boardees but they all denied taking them.

they took my beach towel too.

R88 people CAN wear whatever the fuck they want AND look disgusting at the same time. No one is stopping g them.

It’s.not body shaming. People just don’t know how to dress for their body type. Speedos are for huge muscle mary’s either. As someone mentioned above - they are for swimming pretty much, not lounging on a beach. But if you are going to lounge on a beach in them, they are more suited to a swimmer’s build, athletic.

^Speedos AREN’T for huge muscle marys

Nice of you to give your stamp of approval R92.

I spent many of my formative gay years living in a beachside suburb with a completely mixed demographic- gay, straight, surfers, hipsters, life savers, old Jewish people, Muslims and Anglo Aussies who had lived there all their lives.

I would see Muslim women bathing in burkinis, 80 year old fat Russian women perfectly happy in bikinis, beautiful gay boys in speedos, hit life savers in speedos, beautiful surfers in boardies obviously going commando, crusty locals wearing the same bathers they had worn for twenty years, topless teenage girls covered in coconut oil - the works. Everybody happily co-existing, nobody body shaming, everybody just living the beach. As the saying goes in Australia - the beach is a great leveller. Strip down as you please, lie on your towel and you could be a millionaire or a pauper.

And before any know-it-alls query this - this was Bondi Beach 1977-1990. It’s changed a bit - toplessness and coconut oil went out of fashion and the whole suburb has had a glow up, but it was a time where anybody who wanted to could strip down and not worry about being judged by a bunch of joyless priss pots.

I say just take it all off

Corporate branding on Speedos is a thing, too.

R95 I think you are confusing body shaming with commenting on bad sartorial choices.

Caftans are best

High school swim meets were torture for me… “Think of Miss America! Think of Maude in a bikini. Think…”

Shpeedoesh.

That Liza joke never gets old, does it?

^^^yes yes yes

R102 O shweetie, go have a fag.

Go have a speedo

a big treat

Ladies when you see a hot guy with a large speedo bulge, doesn’t it just make your pussy throb at the thought of that guy being on top of you and penetrating you?

Big ore small, we love them all

[quote] No, fat Americans do not look good in a Speedo.

R54, no one fat looks good in speedos, including European fat men, who are more prone to wearing speedos than fat American men.

You can wear a speedo if you have a body like this.

Anybody can wear “a Speedo (as you Americans call them)” - it’s just prissy body fascists who feel the need to decide who wears what, where and when.

R112, are you saying a 300-pound man in a speedo falls victim to prissy body fascists, ort is he merely deluded?

I’m saying, as I always have, that people should be able to wear whatever they like.

Clayton.

R114 of course people can wear anything they like. That doesn’t mean they don’t look terrible.

Training in Switzerland.

From Puerto Rico, Cesar Daniel.

R117 I did something like that years ago in the Swiss Alps. We'd driven up there and me feet were hot so I stripped off and jumped into a frozen lake, only up to me undies though.

R117, those little whores are working it hard

loose

R117 shrinkage alert!

Whoa, a bit old, but here's a series of photos of a speedo strip-off and jock strap try-on. Hot and uncut guy.

If I had a great body and a big dick, I'd wear speedos all the time too.

Why is the plural of Speedo "Speedos" and not "Speedoes"

Actually R125, in Australia, the birthplace of Speedos, we do the following:

“Speedo” is not singular - I.e. we don’t say “I am wearing my rainbow print Speedo”. American queens do that around the pool in Palm Springs.

“Speedos” is both singular and plural - I.e. we say “My pale blue vintage nylon Speedos are transparent when wet” or “Those tanned lifesavers are completely comfortable about the outline of their fat cocks showing in their wet Speedos”.

Simple, really.

R125 Well, first off, because not all nouns ending in 'o' take an 'oes' when plural. (Examples: ratio/ratios, photo/photos, avocado/avocados, etc.). But more importantly, here the word Speedo is a brand name, so we spell the proper noun as Speedo International has, and one of their very first slogans developed was "Speed in your Speedos."

I love it when they fall off

Jacques Brel. Oh là là!

[quote] I love it when they fall off

This is why many 10M platform divers generally choose to wear a size down, so that they're so tight that they don't fall off when they hit the water going 35 moh. That also keeps their junk in place to help prevent injury.

Graham Norton brought this up during a show that included Tom Daley. It's a funny snippet with others on panel consisting of Jodie Foster, Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, and comedian Greg Davies.

R130 - yeah, back in the 80s most male swimmers also wore a size or two smaller for less drag and less surface area. I remember some 6ft guys wearing 24s - as in 24 inch waist suits. I wore a 26.

Then the long suits came into play and it kinda killed the sex appeal.

Btw- Here's 77 year old Giorgio Armani in a speedo. You don't HAVE to look like shit as you get older, guys.

Another pic of 77 year old Giorgio Armani.

Those Armani pics are impressive. He definitely exercised for decades and didn't a0 overdo it with steroids and supplements and b) stop working out at 65 or 68 or 70.

^ I can’t say that I’d want to see him in one at 90 years of age now….

When referencing wearing Speedos, I would imagine it is always plural. Not just because it’s a name brand, which drives the point home as well. But also because we pluralize anything pants related. You don’t say I’m going to put in my pant, or put your brief on. When it’s referred to in general terms like underwear is swim suit we don’t. But we say put on your trunks, not your trunk. You could say my speedos barely cover my trunk though.

I like seeing the small ones

When I was growing up there was an old lady who lived next door to us who owned a 1955 Studebaker Commander that was the same two-tone color scheme.

It's funny, to me, R136 pic (the guy has an amazing body) the guy is too built to wear a sped. When someone's first urge is to rip them down, maybe they're more like panties than swim trunks.

I’m spending nine days in Sydney, Australia. Went out to Manly Beach to get my fill of hunky Aussies parading in their budgie smugglers. Guess what? NOT A SPEEDO TO BE SEEN!!!

Apparently board shorts have replaced the iconic Aussie bathing attire. Life is so unfair.

Go to Bondi Beach, R139. You should spot quite a few there.

“Sydney, Australia”? Is that anywhere near Sydney, mate?

If you’re looking for speedos or smugglers, the earlier the better, right in the south corner in front of the Manly surf club, when all the lads like to train. Or walk around to Shelly Beach - speedos for days, mostly on Brazilians. Or head up to Queenscliff surf club in the middle of the beach (a.k.a “Queensy) or North Steyne club at the north end. Same as for Manly club.

R140 is right - gays at the north end or clubbies (lifesavers) also north end for North Bondi or in the middle - Bondi club.

Don’t forget - always swim between the flags and don’t call them “a Speedo” unless you want to sound very American.

I much prefer the boxer style Speedo. The panty style just does not evoke a look of masculinity to me.

A classic look on European twinks and men. But it's increasingly rare. This is a great shot. One dude sports a pre-speedo.

Close enough to a Speedo.

The guy’s nipples in r142 bulge more than his dick. And those shorts are not his size (like sausage casings on his upper thighs) but he probably had to go smaller just so you’d see something.

R144... nice! the guy's in good shape and he's wearing swim shorts that fit. He's got a good bulge too, but most men in proper fitting, square-cut swim suit like that will.

Classic

the gays

THAT is a thing of beauty R148. Thank you.

Pretty

Rugger

What's up with Reddit? What about that shot at R144 warrants a NSFW notice? Is that joint run by prudes?

Men with small meat should never wear tight swimming trunks. It evokes a sense of pity in the viewer.

R154 that's ridiculous. A hot guy with a little nub and a lot of confidence is a classic look. Plus lots of people are motivated by plenty of attractions besides sizemeat.

I agree

Besides, a combination of cold water, vigorous exercise and tight Lycra spandex can quite often hide a nice big surprise package when unfurled.

R141 I agree that Speedos in Sydney (Nova Scotia, British Columbia, North Dakota, Florida, Tafea, and North-West) are exceedingly rare.

Asshole!

When Daniel Craig crawled out of the sea in that blue speedo, I barely checked his junk. It was the whole package that stunned - and it wouldn’t have been possible in board shorts.

indeed, sky's out, thighs out

I bet you say “London, England”, too, R158.

It’s an American thing.

Like being hypersensitive (admittedly you have a lot to be hypersensitive about) and calling people assholes.

R158 completely missing the point.

Aussie micro peen but I'd frick him mate.

R161, not all Americans are hypersensitive. Just like all Aussies aren't assholes.

but a lot are

A lot of Aussies are assholes, R165?

American guys won't wear them because they would never admit to being "average". Speedos proves it especially in cold water.

R167, that’s because we need penis snoods that protect the scar.

[quote] American guys won't wear them because they would never admit to being "average".

Oh, shut up, Mary R167. Stop trolling.

God, some DL cunts can find a way to cunt about anything--even a topic as fun as discussing Speedos.

Cunt that speedo now!

Great for showing off thighs.

[quote]I bet you say “London, England”, too, [R158].

R161, I'm not American. I'm from London, ONTARIO.

And you're still an asshole!

Let's hear it for water polo ... Italian player, Luca Marziali

Luca with some of his teammates

The bodies on water polo players are insane. They are just beautful... and they're in the kind of physical shape few other athletes can match. Their stamina, the power of their swimming, the time they can spend just treading water, and that they can throw the ball with accuracy while treading water? Day-um.

Thank you R174 for that morning look at some fine specimens a great addition to this thread.

Excellence

London Ontario has not seen a speedo in fifty years if then

Yes, of course you are, R172! Google is so handy, isn’t it?

Jack Laugher, British diver

Can we discuss Condi instead?

Jack is cute

When it comes to Jack and his Speedos, it's more about his ass.

He’s British, i bet those tight buns of his have been soundly spanked a few times

I went to a college swim meet this past Saturday. Every guy on the two teams wore Speedos. It was a feast to behold. Beautiful, lean, wiry muscled men -- some with perfectly high and tight butts and lovely packages -- on parade. I discovered a new appreciation of the Adonis Belt!

[quote] In public swimming pools in France men are not allowed to wear swimming shorts, they are banned.

I got in trouble for this in France

Maybe their pool technology isn't super advanced. Ha. This is the logic: Hygiene: Speedos are considered cleaner than loose-fitting trunks that could be worn on the street and bring in sand, dust, or other matter. Environmental concerns: Loose-fitting trunks could disturb water quality. To contain pubic hair: Speedos are more reliable than board shorts at containing pubic hair.

Its true. I pay a pool maintenance guy to give me the clots of pubic hair he collects from the big pools he maintains. I knit coasters with them. When I lived in France I had to put my fetish on hold. I switched to sniffing rank French bo on the metro. Un paradis envoûtant pour les sens, empreint de musc.

naked is best

College swimmer

Hal Linden looking yum.

Flawless

R205 I can't speak for others but this link and every single imgbb link on this thread doesn't work for me.

right, I hate it

Good for Hal Linden man... very, very nice.

Although, I always thought he had a very hairy chest (could be the facial hair he sported for decades?). No matter, a fine looking man.

^Fine looking indeed. He had a bit more hair on his chest when performing in The Pajama Game on Broadway, so he may have been a chest shaver.

So sexy

Definitely too prissy

R208 Lately, ibb links have been spotty for me (on this and other threads). I can see all of the preview pics when scanning threads, but sometimes when I click on them, the link doesn't work and there's a message that says something about having to be registered; other times the photo appears with no problem. And sometimes what appears or doesn't appear changes on a day-to-day basis. I assume the problem is at ibb. For my own part, I've been using imgbox more frequently when posting photos.

Nope, none at all

I'd like to discuss the Speedo if Spain's 19-year old Catalonian diver Max Liñan.

I've read elsewhere that Max is dating Italian diver, Matteo Santoro.

can't see

😳

R217 try clicking on the image to open it.

Still can't see.

Such a cute little light blue box......

R220 I can't do anything about the issue between you and imgbb. See post at R214. I'd put the gif at imgbox but they only accept much smaller file sizes for gifs.

As a consolation here's Linan's Speedo from earlier this month.

They are classic on those with good bodies. Duh.

Good blue boxes

Speedos must be rank when a guy takes them off.

Daddy in his Speedo.

That’s a very sexy fit

R226, man, that is sweet to see. Impressive.. got any more him to share?

All may not agree, but think young Travolta looked good.

r66 he looks good in a trash bag.

Very hot.

Agree, R229. He even looked good in briefs in Saturday Night Fever.

R229 these are undies not speedos.

R228 His name is Timothy Barton-Costa.

R228 His Instagram indicates he's a Brit living in South Africa named "Timothy Barton-Costa." There are more photos of him there as well as a link to his Blue Sky account.

IG: tab198

Here's another photo of Timothy in a Speedo. I notice he's got photos from his wedding up at the top of his IG page from about five years ago, so you may have to fight off the husband.

He’s very cute, thanks

R234, he reminds me more than a little bit of our beloved Chris Meloni. Maybe a few years ago, anyway.

I checked out Barton-Costa's social media... I was thinking he'd be a DILF, but he's not. The pics, locations, seem almost circiut queen. Big surprise.

Not surprised at all.

Once again! That’s NOT a Speedo.

No wonder America has gone to shit…the median level of reading comprehension is at 4th grade level.

Corn fed!

R241 - for the 1,000th time - links to ibb.co no longer work on DL. Stop using it.

R244 doesn’t get it, does he? We want the real deal. Not some peachy-like poser with the fake gym body. Learn a lesson from R241. TIA

R243 - how come the link is working fine for me? It's just you and your computer.

Not me

R243 the link works fine. Chill out, hall monitor Mary!

No, it doesn’T

ibb link previews seem to work OK but when you click on it.... nothing

I can see all of the ibb previews on this thread and about 80% of them work when I click on them. One of them that doesn't, though, is that last one at R241, but the preview is fine.

I’d say that 80 percent of them I can’t see, on any device

From reading blogs where users discuss issues they've been having at imgbb, it sounds like the site is becoming about as archaic as The DataLounge.

Sample complaints: Works for some, doesn't work for others. Works one day, doesn't work the next. Images disappear. This can be spotty: affects just one or two photos, while others, who are actually registered users, have reported losing entire collections. People also talk about security issues with plugins. The list goes on.

Google AI reports:

[quote] Based on recent reports, ImgBB appears to be experiencing issues where images are not loading properly, with many users encountering "service not available" errors, suggesting that the platform might be experiencing technical difficulties or undergoing maintenance, potentially due to problems with their image retrieval system from "cold storage."

They are cunts

Not a Speedo. That’s a bikini.

Beach fitness competition.

Speedo is a brand, so when someone refers to a skimpy article of clothing that a man often wears on the beach, it is often referred to as a "Speedo," whether or not it's a actual brand-named Speedo. Same with Xerox. Whenever someone wants a photocopy of something, they don't say, "I need a photocopy of that letter," they say "I need a Xerox copy of that letter." Ditto Trampoline, Teleprompter, Thermos, Asprin, etc.

It’s a brand, and it’s a particular cut of swimsuit.

Speaking of brand names that have become generic, hand me some Vaseline® and Kleenex®.

They usually advise "big" guys to wear swim shorts, something with a 6-7 inch inseam. But this big boy actually doesn't look too bad in a Speedo. He's also chosen a diagonal pattern, which lends a slimming effect.

They only look good on younger, fit men.

But then younger, fit men look pretty good in anything.

Therefore they needn't wear speedos.

From Austrailian diver, Sam Fricker, this week.

So glad I started this

R289 Well speedos on divers or swimmers is a different category ... for just regular life, on the beach, a speedo is a little precious these days. Last couple times to Europe I noticed that younger men there weren't wearing them.

R287 - I’ve followed him for years. Have you noticed that when he bounces on that diving board, nothing moves? He must have 1% body fat.

Just walking down the street ...

let's dish-cuss Shpeedos

Lance Alexander, the porn star who played water polo.

He was great in pron

R295 One of my favorites. I was disheartened to hear that he'd been arrested in 2021 for some type of criminal damage, aggravated assault, and disorderly conduct. But the charges were all DROPPED, and the record said to be expunged. His mugshot is still on the internets, though. He looks about the same weight and build. I wonder if he shaves his head hoping people won't recognize him.

Some guys like to be tan almost everywhere.

Something smooth ...

something furry ...

and something in between,

I’ll take one of each

R300 He looks familiar, perhaps a model? Do we know his name?

Speedo Kid

My favorites? The ones that look like a naked guy on the beach smuggling three grapes 🍇

R303 very pretty but looks somewhat as if it is AI generated to me

Thought I'd put this here ...

Something Speedo-like is the traditional "langot" that's worn by men on the Indian subcontinent during physical activity like wrestling and yoga, etc. It's basically a loincloth.

Here's a guy showing how the langot is tied. I wouldn't mind untying his langot.

You can other videos like this or of them wrestling in then on youtube, Others men are often seen walking around in garb that look more like Speedos.

Seems like a homoerotic environment ..lol

This guy's hot too ....

WOW!!

I know some people don't like him but I have a soft spot for Thomas May.

Tall glass of Speedo.

Nice view.

R309, he’s got the goods. Here he talks at length about taking it up the can

You do realize that at least 90% of links to photos on ibb do not work. Right?

R315 I regularly post at imgbox as I did at R313, so yes, I do realize all that. But that site wouldn't host the gif, saying it exceeded their MB limitation.

R315 Trying something new as an an alternative host. Let me know if you can see this gif in the preview and link at gifyu.

Very nice stache

Today's diving Speedo features Luke SItz ...

I'm in the UK and a rugby club over here was recently given their own custom speedos by Budgie Smuggler. No idea why my Facebook recommended these images to me...

And a closer one.

in R320's pic, da fuk is with the one guy, grabbing his cock (or is he hiding it)? PLUS, da fuk is that splotch of a tat across his midsection?

Dude's got issues... or troubles...

Senator Pocock to you!

r8 American men who swam competitively also wear speedos since they are used to swimming in them.

They don’t wear them at the beach, that’s the point.

r329 No, I am saying that a lot of them do since they are used to using it while swimming competitively. Generally when I see a straight American man who wears speedos-- they used to swim competitively.

Nope.

Walks around asking straight men if they were swimmers—🤔

Nice be slappable ass

Don't forget your sun hat!

R327, indeed, here is Sen. Pocock's official Senate website:

He’s a stud

Rich-cock, not po-cock, I’d say.

Time to choose your pastel Speedo for Easter.

I'm wondering if the VPLs in the R338 pic are real or airbrushed in.

Very, nice, in any case...

R339 The photo was taken back in 2016 by professional photographer Cody Kinsfather. All of the guys are known fashion models (Mitchell Maggard, Calum Winsor, Cole Monahan, Gage Alexander Smith). While VPL could have been 'enhanced,' it's not like these guys haven't shown it off in underwear shots elsewhere. I'd also note that lighter-colored fabric colors tend to show dick prints more.

The guy in the middle is Cole Monahan, and his photo shoot by Bell Soto for Perfect magazine last year showed very similar VPL.

Similarly, another Speedo shot of Calum Winsor by photographer, Steven Menendez, shows his VPL even more,

Both R340 and R341's photos look like enhanced VPL (or the model was fluffed for the shoot). I've never seen anything like this IRL.

Professional photographers know how to use lighting to create lines and shadows to enhance things. The models could also be wearing a size down to enhance things as well. But both of those models above have shown enough over the years to determine that what they're showing is a fairly accurate representation of what they've actually got under their Speedo.

Put Calum Winsor at R341 in tight, iight-colored Speedo and you're probably going to see things.

Summer's coming. .. Make sure your Speedo matches your classic convertible.

hitting a Speedo bump

Pretty

Jeez, is R345 real or just enhanced with photoshop/AI?

R347 It's neither photoshop nor AI.

It's a rather 'famous' real-life photo that was snapped at the 2012 Olympics when American divers, David Boudia and Nick McCrory, hugged poolside. I say 'famous' because it got a lot of play in the gay press at the time.

It's among the photos of the event at Getty Images.

Damiano Rising from the Sea.

Meh. Body dysmorphia. And butterface

very thick

You can make a speedo sandwich with these two.

Delicious

R348 I hadn't seen that one before. I'm guessing professional synchro divers are used to "speedo bumps" considering it's good sportmanship to hug your partner after an event and if you're both of a similar height, it's easily done.

How to mature in a Speedo.

R 18 Like I always say, you can’t put Speedo on an Expando body.

A new speedo with matching swim shorts ensemble.

Your waterpolo speedo of the day.

Wow, i love it

A Feast for Friday...

R359 that’s not water polo. It’s lifeguard.

Sorry, but I do love it when the big boys wear them

Showing off his Union Jack, Brit Dave Rich

He’s beautiful, incredible rack

Chewy!

R364's post really is a beautiful man. Excellent choice/addition!

The late Spencer Garbett modelling for International Male in the 1990s.

Anyone recognize this Speedo from the recent Word Cup competition in Mexico earlier this month? The videographer didn't attach the diver's name. Beautiful dive. I love how it goes slow motion as soon the dive starts.

Beautiful

Thick Stanford guy

Wow R373... that man's blessed, isn't he? He's really good-looking.

Max Emerson is back on the market girls!

Sexy

R375, is this the Max Emerson to which you refer?

R375 The way he phrased the breakup, it sounded like he'd already been on the market for quite some time.

A poor man’s Josh Charles

R377 He's still so lovely.

Wow.

Water polo = underwater rugby.

Every once in a while Steele Johnson will pop up in my YouTube recommended videos.

He's retired from diving, but he still posts diving/speedo videos anyway.

Wow!!

"Steele Johnson"? Is that a porn [italic]nom de plume?[/italic]

Soviet Black Sea Fleet swimming team, 1934

No airbrush in R387!

R388, they were purged before airbrushing. Before the airbrushed faces, one was Bukharin, another Zinoviev, and in the back row was Trotsky!

Their swimming trials turned into show trials.

all smiles

R390 Very nice. Do we know his name?

Speedo Gonzalez

R386 No it's his real name. But I agree it sounds like a fake porn star name.

Purdon’t

Apparently, Mr. McCormick didn't feel like trimming that day.
