Would you wear a Speedo? - Page 2

I'd rather have torture than wear a speedo!

Oh, I must say I find the poll results so far somewhat shocking

Of course there is nothing wrong with preferring not to wear a certain piece of clothing yourself, but it seems many of the voters actually think the speedo so terrible noone should ever be able/allowed to wear one.
This is a fine example of tyranny in the clothing world, where those who wear a speedo are ridiculed by those wearing other items. Boxer Tyranny, in this case.

Along the same lines, let me just point to the current-day general opinion on kilts. They too are being suppressed by another piece of clothing, giving rise to the infamous Trouser Tyranny.

Exactly like the speedo and kilt, many other potentially wonderful clothing articles are being pushed to dark corners of stores, or even removed altogether.

This leads to a point where those who were formerly happy to wear, say, a speedo, are now forced to wear boxers instead, and are thus made into slaves, forbidden to wear what they like and forced to wear what they do not.
Eventually, we'll end up in a society where there is no choice in clothing.

Let me just point out that this development appears to mysteriously apply only to men's clothing. Noone today dares dismiss a woman's rights to choose to wear both skirts AND trousers, and likewise in the swimsuit department there seems to be no unrest.

Oh, and I just have to point out the wearing of make-up as well, for one of my allies in the fight against this tyranny. Why is it that women, young girls and even very young boys can smear anyhting they like upon their faces without anyone saying a word (except in the very young boy situation, the age at which the proTyrannical Movement tries to ensure none of the boys growing up will want to wear make-up ever again) whilst men doing so are mocked?

Stop ridiculing on impulse, and say NO to all clothing tyrannies!

I think I have a rather unique perspective on this, having not only much beach time, but as I spend eight hours a week in a swimming pool.

Firstly, being a woman, I have spent a good portion of my life wearing Speedos, as it's a very good quality swimsuit (nyah, nyah!).

I would faaaaaaar prefer seeing an athletic man or boy wear Speedos than boxers. It's much more athletic in appearance, and looks FINE (and I mean "ooh, baby, fine") on a good swimmer. Boxers look unprofessional. But then, I'm talking about people who are actually going to swim, not pose.

Furthermore, as for "displaying your package" or whatever way you phrase that, I can still remember as a teen sitting on a dock with some friends and one of the guys was in boxers, which gapped open so much (and he had no clue) that every little bit of his funny bits was exposed, which was totally gag-worthy and off-putting.

So... Arnabas, since she's spent the money, just wear the suit and wear a pair of regular shorts over it. Problem solved. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I know I have a decent body, so I wouldn't be unconfident in that respect. It's just that I prefer shorts/boxers; they're far more comfortable, and they look better, in my opinion.

Never ever ever where a Speedo. They suck major ass!

Downunda · 11-08-2002, 01:56 PM
