Oh, Aquageek, such strong opinions!
You're right, I would not want to be caught dead in my speedos in a public swimming area - but I would be caught alive!
Mostly, I wear whatever I can find in my messy bedroom, with the following considerations: If I will do lots of body surfing, I bring my Speedos. If I will spend lots of time in the sun and sand, I bring my shorts (mostly because I remain convinced that sun and sand make my speedos decay more rapidly, and they are too expensive.)
I much prefer to spend time on European beaches - they are more casual and more friendly, with a lot less ogling at young women, less judgement about whether men are dorks, less concern about appearance, and more time spent having fun.
As for the gay thing, since I am a happily married man, I have the same response to looks by gay men that I have for looks by straight women - appreciation that I can still get favorable looks at the age of 44.
Are none of the posters here bothered by the sexism in this thread: that it is OK for women to wear much more revealing suits than it is for men to wear?
Or how about the 'bodyism' in this thread: It is OK to wear revealing suits if you are good looking?
