Why school in the '70s and '80s was tolerable.

Followed by the un-self-conscious locker-room nudity and showers.

R5 I Bet

I feel like men were more comfortable wearing Speedos and Briefs in the 1970's and 1980's probably because they were popular I wish that mentality applied today

No other garment has caused more gay sexual awakenings.

R10 That is one of the biggest truths I have learned and heard!

by Anonymousreply 11December 15, 2018 7:29 AM

They became popular in the '70s because of the growing comfort with the human body and the fact that the natural male body type, to that point, was slim with lean muscle.

We'll never get back there.

Speedos is a brand name btw

Tacky and useless and no one under 80 wears them anymore.

They were actually very flattering when human bodies looked like they were supposed to, before they became chemical- and hormone-infused blimps.

And they feel good to swim in, second only to being nude.

These were conservative suits in the late '70s and would be derided today as "short shorts."

Not too many people know this, but Hitler invented them for religion identification purposes at the local pool.

The brand has become the generic name for anything in that briefs style. Like Kleenex for tissues.

Love seeing a big hard erect penis in speedos then licking up the cum after he explodes in them.

wow R17 - what a great photo. Those guys on the swim team have really nice bodies... without their shirts they were outliers on campus... those shoulders, pecs and arms were not seen on many men. Even the coaches are in fine shape.

I like swimming trunks that are short but don't put your junk in my face. I guess I am just weird.

Speedo only looks good on you when you have a nice lean in shape body. It’s jot popular in North America because most men here are ugly and FAT.

If you’re in good shape but don’t want the briefest speedos, try a Brazilian sunga. They’re a little more coverage and more flatt ring. Cariocawear sells them online and I have several. Not cheap, it very well made and comfortable.

I like speedos even on old guys. I wear them in Europe, but very rarely in the States.

I've always dislike them. Leave nothing to the imagination and make most buff guys wearing them look the same as every other buff guy. In fact, I find the way they sort of mold and smooth out the crotch and butt to be sort of neutering. And they play to the silly assumption that the main thing that's sexy about a man is his cock and ass. I find a guy in a pair of board shorts far more intriguing. Where's the fun of coming onto someone when you've already seen absolutely everything you're gonna get?

by Anonymousreply 63December 16, 2018 2:33 AM

I prefer square cut bathing suits.

You have to be in perfect shape to carry off a Speedo. And board shorts are just too much clothes and add to the current day paranoia about men showing their bodies.
