Trust me when I tell you that you do not want to see me wearing a Speedo. (No matter how pretty it makes me feel.)
If everyone else at the beach was wearing a speedo, I probably would too, without being paid.
If it was just my usual group of “beach friends” that meet at Assateague most Sundays in the summer (i.e. most people are NOT wearing speedos), I’d probably do it on a dare for a few beers. But it would clearly be a joke. While I’m in pretty good shape and my body’s certainly not offensive compared to most people you see wearing speedos, I know I just couldn’t pull it off playing it straight.
When I was in high school and was on the swim team, I wore one every day in the pool.
I had the body for it also.
Alas, no longer.
Being paid? Sure. It wouldn’t be pretty, though.
Not being paid? No way. Somewhat self-conscious, but generally I have a personal principle against skimpy clothing in public. It just seems inappropriate, even in places like beaches and pools in summer. I’m not sure why I’m so conservative about that kind of thing, but it’s always been my way.
I used to wear a Speedo all the time. It was red, white, and blue, with stars and stripes.
It was also about 1973-4, and I was 7.
Not so much since then. But if someone wants to pay me? No problem; it’s bound to be worse for you than it is for me 
I guess I would if I had to wear something…:eek:
I wear a speedo when swimming but not at the beach, board shorts for surfing, playing with the kids etc and just sunscreen and a smile at my local beach.
SO horses for courses.
Of course-why wear those ridiculous board shorts when swimming? You stay sopping wet for hours. Instead, wear something that drys inside of 15 minutes.
Its like wearing those convict-stripe swimsuits from the 1890’s-stupid.
Sure, why not? If you’ve got it, flaunt it.
And I own a pair of Speedo swimshorts - not the bananahammock ones but still pretty clingy.
If the rest of the beach was doing it? Sure. I’d happily wear nothing at all on a nude beach.
Sure.
I used to all the time. These days I doubt they make them in my size but if they do, I’ll put one on for you for a couple of bucks if you like.
When my son first started swimming competitively he refused to wear anything even remotely like a speedo. At one meet there was a young man wearing a tiny, pink, leopard print speedo and he went on to win easily. It takes a confident man to wear pink leopard print. It didn’t take long for my son to get over worrying about how his suit looked.
Never owned one and have no plans to, they look uncomfortable. Besides I would be compelled to wear an accompanying shirt with a written statement making some lame excuse that I might be suffering from shrinkage at the moment. Which may or not be true.
NO. And personally I think speedo anything should be banned for public use.
I suppose I would. I’d be a bit worried about unwanted excitement.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
A piece of advice for those who wear Speedos in public or are considering it:
The potato goes in the FRONT of the Speedo.
Potatoes are too heavy, I recommend polystyrene packing peanuts.
