BRAINSTORM: What can be done to get more guys to wear SPEEDOS? (USA and Globally)
Have BEYONCE write a song about how she likes her men to wear SPEEDOS around the pool and at the beach and have her sing it on Spring Break.
Have Jessica Alba go wild on Dax Shepherd in SPEEDOS in a SPEEDOS commercial.
Have Aaron Tippin's wife on CMT Cribs show off Aaron Tippin's SPEEDOS.
Put some death metal rock band in SPEEDOS and have them play an entire concert in them.

Here is one reason why not... I don't wear speedos because every time I try one on it looks offensive. No matter what brand I wear or color the outline of my cockhead is clearly visible when flaccid. If I were to get a semi (which I sometimes have days when it feels like i have a semi all day) it would be difficult not to get a full erection as attention on my cock gives me an instant ranging boner. If it is a private area with just my friends, its fine. But i would not want to reveal so much in a public area where there are families.

The only solution is that those men became more proud of their body AS THEY ARE !
As I can understand, I think that in the puritan US society a big package is most of the time saw as a provocation. On the other hand, internet & the porn industry tend to overrepresent cocks bigger than average ; so average men don't want to be in competition with this «internet-standard» bulge.
Conclusion : a lot of big guys don't wear speedo not to be provocative and most of average or small one don't wear any speedo because they are quite shy or insecure about that.
> Mental / cultural conversion requested ! :wink:
In Europe, men wears more speedos than in America. But fashion promote the baggy short as well. I think that european & american men don't sel-represents their body in similar maneer.

Sometimes these things take a generation. When the current crop of guys become old and are still wearing board shorts, trust me, young guys will stop wearing board shorts. (Just like when the current crop of "waxed fruits" :wink: get old guys will stop shaving.) Young people always want to do something new and not be associated with what is the older generation.
On that same note, a friend of mine in the fashion business told me fashion runs in 30 year cycles.
Since the great American public is highly susceptible to the influence of the media, hire some incredible superstar sportsman ( I'm not even sure who that'd be now; the equivalent of, say, Shaq) and have him in a PR blitz that persuades men to wear speedos. Over time they'll conform. That's how we got to the stupid-ass baggy trunks/boxers era.
Well, hate to be a buzz kill but Speedos are for the gay folks only. Straight guys dont want to other guys to see their junk. So there not going to wear it! Straight guys only want women to see it. Not everyone else... Duh....
Its like having Grandma see the outline of your dick and commenting about it... DUh I cannot believe no one gets this... Damm
Besides the folks that do wear them, now, want the outline of their cocks to be seen by guys or girls. And enjoy the comments that come thir way, hence gay beaches...
This gets weird when your over the age of 11 and old enough to know better.
Ok send your hate mail ------ post your "hate" comments. but seriously do you want your mother to see you in a speedo?
sorry, just the way it is

- CUBE,
I don' think only gay guys wear speedo types. Guys that swim a great deal pretty much always wear them and let us not forget many people out of the US don't think twice about it. Love guys in suits like this...wish more wore them. Kurt we are going to put you in one and make you dance your sweet ass off for us gays...so get ready bud.
The BIGGEST CONTRADICTION is that you JOINED this forum to HAVE YOUR DICK to be seen by (mostly) guys here and few girls.........
and yet you think it's so gay to have thight speedos with your junk outline to be seen by other guys on the pools or beaches ...........
Why not stopping this hypocrisy and fake prudeness for god sake.
Just be comfortable and contend with our own bodies and don't give a damn with others are thinking or saying.
STRAIGHT GUYS shower in nude in the gym locker rooms right ?
Guys seeing others' junks very often in the gyms showers ...........
Is it so gay as well ?
If you can see me showering nude because we belong to the same gym
and happen to shower at the same time and I can see you nude as well
so what is the point of wearing those silly baggy heavy and Cinderella's gown like "swim pant" anyway, just you are so scared of me seeing the outline of your penis ?
I have seen your dick in whole, why you should hide it from me
GUYS who are swimming wearing BOARD SHORTS may consider to swim in FULL TUXEDOs instead............
So pathetic.............

Tom, as someone with quite a bit of ass...I can assure you there are speedos and squarecuts out there for all...you just have to buy one size up. This has the added benefit of getting rid of some of the clingy-ness that others have mentioned is an impediment to their wearing something more fitted.
Personally, I gave away all the boardies I had years ago when my workouts started bearing fruit so to speak.
First wore them when I was about 24, although they fit kind of tight. I now wear nothing but when swimming at the gym, perhaps one of my couple pairs of squarecuts. I was thinking of getting some of the short boardies I have seen from Parke and Ronnen, as they still show off but are a bit looser.
The 007 Squarecut spike has been mentioned before, but it points to the ultimate answer to this question: Gay, straight or bi, men in America most relate to images of power. They want clothes that make them look like powerful men they wish they could be like. It's why hip-hop culture influenced fashion for so long. There is also a lot of influence from Mixed Martial Arts (which has spurred the rise of DOUCHEBAG brands like Ed Hardy, Allfiction, etc) now.
Apologies to our resident thin guys, but gays who look muscular and powerful are far less likely (in my own experience and what I've seen on beaches in Cali and FLA) to be thought of as 'gay' as a bad thing. Especially when the women they are with are caught checking out said gays, as has happened to me before as well.
You put more powerful-looking men in smaller swimwear, it makes more men comfortable with said swimwear because they then want to be more like what they are seeing.
Damn I can't wait to get back to Europe this spring :biggrin1:
there is a piece missing from this discourse... people whose bodies just aren't very fit for a speedo. The cultural stereotype is of a "godlike man" with rippled muscles, damn near zero fat. However, the average man has a slight gut (if not more) and isn't very toned.
We have to first work on readjusting what the norms of society are and the media, yes, plays a big role. However, we have to really look at fashion, academic scholarship, etc.

well i wear speedos when ever i go swimming. i have tried short's once and there was to much drag for my liking, speedos all the way for swimming.
i wear speedos when i am on the beach as i want as much sun as i can get, shorts are no good for sunbathing in. nothing to do with the look, that is just how it is.

And just why do you think that your bulge (re:dickhead etc) is offensive or obscene? Do you find Dolly Parton offensive or disgusting? Come on guy, stop being intimidated by the BC's of good taste! Let us ogle your excellent proportions.
