Americans, get over it! I still am an European at heart even after being in the USA for over 30 years. Men (any age!) in a Speedo on the beach look great.
Americans, instead of all this fuss, pay the extra attention on your eating habits! Female in Pa.<br/><br/>

Just goes to show how Americans are ignorant and childish.  It's perfectly ok that women in America can be gawked at by guys staring at their boobs and their camel toes but guys can't strut their stuff.  Americans need to get over it and grow up.<br/><br/>

Just like I'm sure guys would have no problem checking out a slender pretty girl in a bikini and trying not to stare and laugh at a fat one in the same bikini.  <br/><br/>

I think that if American men wear Speedo they will pay more attention what they eat and how they look. I vacated on USA east coast last summer with my family and naturally wear my Sppedos and I was pleasantly surprised that nobody really cares, or at least I didn't notice. That is the way it should be. By the way I was born and lived in Europe until my 32. I hope Americans will grow up. Guys you have potentials, just be careful with that junk food<br/><br/>

But getting back to the article, maybe if I were to wear a speedo, it would be more comfortable to me, which is more than likely the original reason i went to the beach in the first place. And if people have a problem with it, they can just look away. I agree with every one of these comments (unless of course one is anti-speedo), it just makes perfect sense to wear a speedo instead of clown pants.<br/><br/>

You will see some speedos on the beaches here, but most guys wear speedo shorts (fitted square cuts) nobody wears the long US style baggy bloomers. You would stand out quiet a bit if you wore those as nobody else does. I havent seen them for sale in shops. Maybe its a cultural thing as well as fashion, I don't know. A recent news article I saw condemed those baggy shorts as dangerous especially for childeren unless they are strong swimmers. In most public swimming pools here, fitted shorts or speedos are necessary to go in otherwise you are not allowed in the pool. It's for mostly hygiene and safety reasons. Remember pool water does go in your mouth, up nose etc. On the nudist beaches here nobody wears anything. I havent been to a nudist beach but I know they are popular and been going for thousands of years so they wont change. In normal regular beaches here, you will see quiet a lot of women topless so thats where my eyes tend to glance to, and not to my speedos or other guys speedos and I think most guys are the same. I suppose girls like to check out guys as much as we check them out!<br/><br/>

I am in excellent shape , well-groomed, and I am confident that I look good while wearing them.  I am aware of the stigma attached to the speedo , but I have had nothing but favorable experiences while wearing them (honest!)  I've met numerous attractive females (dated a few of them) and received many compliments,smiles and stares.  I'm sure some folks have objected , but hey, if you do not have the "rocks" to tell me "face to face" that you object , well than it doesn't bother me.  I think men (of any fitness level or age) should wear speedos if they so desire. You only live once , and God knows we've all seen some women in "unflattering" beach attire , and didly squat is ever said about it. <br/><br/>

I actually felt kinda out of place when I went to the pool in typical American swim trunks, as the main clientelle of the hotel were from Australia and Europe. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to find something more appropriate (a speedo) to wear around the hotel pool. (84 hour work weeks are a killer.)<br/><br/>

Outside of a negative comment from some teenager, all the rest were flattering. Every girlfriend I've had likes the look and I've had a few compliments from ladies on the beach and one to take a few photos.

Now, I'm not muscular, nor am I fat. I'm in my upper forties and probably could stand to do a few stomach crunches. Still, I've had good experiences. In fact, I've got a week long vacation planned in a townhouse with a lady who has already picked out her favorite swimsuit. :)

Anyway men, wear them. You'll be glad you did.<br/><br/>

I wear much briefer swimsuits than that!  The typical suit has string sides, and a narrow front and rear, though I don't wear a thong to the beach.  I don't have a "perfect" body, but I am in excellent shape, especially considering that I'm over 50.  I'd go as far to say that I have a better physique than 90% of guys under 30 years of age.  

However, I doubt that I would be comfortable wearing such "revealing" swimsuits if I was overweight, or had a less than nice physique.  Frankly, like with women, I believe that with a less than decent body, minimal swimwear wearing it is difficult to "pull it off", figuratively speaking.  that said, I believe that people are free to wear them if they want to, but should consider how unflattering it may be if they don't have "the body for it".  Just my own opinion.<br/><br/>

I"m an aussie male, 25 y.o.  I think speedos are hot and very comfortable.  They're far cooler than those "man-bloomers" ) i.e. ill-fitting, excessively baggy, girlish-looking board-shorts).  Even men with average bodies look fine in speedos and plenty of people go to the beach to cop an eyeful (women especially).  I just think Americans are comically and hilariously threatened by any sign of male sexuality.  It's their loss.<br/><br/>

Was Queen Victoria your sister?  Sheesh.  If girls can wear bikinis without shame, then guys can wear Speedos without shame.   What a sexist and bigoted feminist entitlement that only women should flaunt it.  How about a little equality for guys for a change.  Any girls who say they don't like hot guys in Speedos are either lesbian or lying or just hate the way guys look.   Fine.  If you girls don't like them, then you try swimming and sunning in baggy pants that go down to your ankles and see how you like it.<br/><br/>

I know other guys who would die laughing or make jokes if I wore a speedo, but honestly I think it's just all that male bravado crap. I have a fit body and look great tanned.

I agree with the people here: why should we let the cultural "fashion police" tell us not to wear speedos?  I've tried doing it at the beach as well and will probably do so more often.  It's so much more natural than wearing long shorts that get in the way of free movement -- even if they are the shorter variety, they impede swimming movements to some degree.  Who cares about how you look?  Women don't care how they look in their one-piece or two-piece suits no matter how slim or how fat they are.  Why should we?<br/><br/>

There is nothing hotter than a fit guy in a skimpy swimsuit, and unless you are grossly obese a well fitted bikini can actually make you look better than a huge pair of DorkShorts.

To stand out and be yourself is not the in-thing. If three people showed up wearing dork-shorts to a crowded pool with men in bikini cut briefs with their wives and girlfriends, they would be embarrassed at standing out.

I standout in my daily life anyway. I'm as far away from "typical" as one can get. So why do I wear a speedo/bikini cut swimsuit? Because I like it regardless of what people might think. By the way, every woman I've dated has preferred the speedo. :)<br/><br/>

My opinion is that people who ridicule swim briefs are just plain closed minded and immature.  To say they are "gross" is just gross to hear that!  Growing up in the 80's, swim briefs were acceptable.  I think swim briefs are less popular now due to the "hip-hop" and "baggy" fashion influence.

I think adequate swim briefs for men have their place and time.  I'm a 6'0, 31, athletic muscular straight male from Southern California and wear square-cut boxer shorts at pools and board shorts at the beach.  My GF loves how my square-cuts fit!  I feel more masculine, sexy, and attractive.  I think these type of swimwear looks better in people in good shape.

I also have a swim brief that I wear for "play" only in private with my GF.  She loves how they fit and she encourages me to wear them at the pool!  I don't think I would want to do that due to the "hostile speedophobia" society we live in!.  Swim briefs in other parts of the world are ok, but the USA is so up-tight for that.  It does not make sense!  Women can wear next to nothing, but men are not allowed to wear anything less than board shorts.  How ridiculous!  The USA has become a super macho hypocritical double standard society.  It's very sad.  No wonder why the rest of the world doesn't like us...go figure!!!

To stereotype swim briefs as homosexual is so stupid and ridiculous.  I say to men who have the body and feel good in swim briefs, go for it!  If women can nearly show their entire body nude in a tiny bikini, then men should be allowed to wear swim briefs!  Don't mind those immature people who don't like it.  If they don't like it, too bad!  Tell them to look or go somewhere else!  The USA is a free nation, so wear whatever you like as long as it's adequate.

SWIM BRIEFS FOREVER!!!<br/><br/>

Im 27, 6'3 tall and in great shape and I wanted to be different at the beach so I started wearing the square cut briefs.  I do get a few looks but just looks and it doesn't bother me.  At first I was a little shy but after swimming I was a lot more confident and didn't even think about it anymore.  I notice I could swim a lot better and they feel really comfortable.  I told myself this isn't bad.  So Im going to continue wearing them for the 2011 season and at the pool during the winter because doing laps in the pool is so much easier.<br/><br/>

If women can wear a small bikini then so can a man.  Based on what I read on the internet it seems that women are the most insecure about seeing a man's body.  You see many many comments from women saying how disgusting a man looks in a bikini.  So who are they calling gay?? haha  They have no problem with looking at a woman's body at the beach but are disgusted by the opposite sex.<br/><br/>

Why? 
*They're comfortable. No loose fabric flapping around your thighs, and they dry off quicker.
*They're flattering. Naturally, fit guys look best in them, but even guys with a belly usually look better in them too.
*They're less fashionable than board shorts, so you don't have to worry about wearing the "in* outfit.

And here are some double standards that should be broken down.
*"They leave nothing to the imagination." Criminy, really? If that's the case, why do women wear tiny triangle tops and thongs? Shouldn't they wear board shorts too? Or just go all the way back to the Victorian era? If women can do it, men should have the same rights!
*"Unless you're in great shape, you'll look like a fool." Same thing here. There are plenty of women who aren't exactly 20-year-old, rail-thin super-models who cover up very little of themselves on the beach. Why should men be held to a different standard?
*"People will talk about you behind your back." Idiots and the envious will always find a reason to justify behaving badly. Ignore them. And in truth, most people admire men in Speedos!

So don't repress yourself, and don't try to fit in. Wear what you like! I'm headed to the pool in an hour, and I'll be wearing a bikini.<br/><br/>

I tend to agree with lots of others here. I'm in my late 40s and no longer wear a speedo to the beach because I'm not quite as tone as I used to be but I'd still rather wear one. It's much more comfortable than the baggy shorts and leaves a much better tan line. I admit that the only time I wore them was on beaches where it is more accepted, like South Beach, in the keys or in the Carribean. And yes it was a bit of a turn on to feel I was on the edge a little. Plus the approving looks were always great! I just ignored the negative ones. Now I opt mostly for beaches where I don't have to wear a thing! 

The stigma about a man in a bikini is silly. A guy with a nice body should be able to feel equally as comfortable as a hot chick in a tiny bikini.<br/><br/>

I no longer have my Marine Physique but I would rather wear speedos type to the beach.  I am well confortable if it wasn't for stupid looks.

I recall as a young Marine it would boost my confidence to wear really skimpy speedos among other marines and civilians at the beach...it was great to be the only one and I would usually have a descent buldge to show.<br/><br/>

They are also comfortable, dry fast, and leave a nice tan line. The knock on them for being unsightly (esp. on fat hairy guus) or gay is bogus. It's the obesity not the swimwear that is unsightly. A stomach that looks 8 months pregnant or a big muffin top is not nice to look at hanging over a Speedo OR boardshorts. Firm, falt, fit abs are hot in Speedos AND boardshrots. Plenty of straight and gay guys like them. Some women don't like to see the outline of a guys package and some do. So, to each his/her own, look or look away, live and let live. 

If slender fit men/boys and women/girls would start crowding the beaches in Speedos and bikinis maybe it would help to stem the tide of epidemic obesity.<br/><br/>
