Are Victorian swinsuits the norm for men now?
It seems unreal now! When the movie The Addams Family Values came out, I was on the swim team. I thought it was so funny the way Pugsley wore a shirt and long shorts to the camp to the lake, while all the other boys were shirtless. Back then, speedos were mandatory on my team.
But American fashion killed the speedo, but it did not stop there. For the last 3 years I’ve been seeing more and more guys wear cargo swimsuits that go below their knees, and more and more guys with swim shirt to swim.
What I thought was ridiculous years ago, is now a reality.
I see everyone with long shorts to the pool, and what’s worse, most guys with a swim shirt.
I’m still in great shape, but I don’t wear speedos anymore because no one else does. even though I swim laps. I do sometimes go like at 6 AM, and wear my speedos, they stil feel awsome, they make feel so free, and feel so good in the water.
What’s wrong with society, are we going back to Victorian times?
I am a lap swimmer and I wear a speedo bikini brief type bathing suit. My feeling is that I am exercising and that I should be able to wear the attire I like best and that is most comfortable. I swim for about 1 hour every morning. I am only one of a handful of guys that wears a speedo bikini, most wear these elaborate speedo skin suits (but I think they are training for a triathlon). My feeling is that each should wear what they are comfortable with. If a girl is so grossed out by my bathing suit that she can’t handle it, then so well. My g/f likes me to wear a speedo and for lap swimming you can’t beat it. I do often wonder though about guys who wear the cargo shorts down past their knee and shirts to swim in. I figure they must not be serious swimmers (which is OK) or they just don’t like to show skin (which is OK too). As long as people don’t expect others to conform, it is all OK.
