Clearly, you haven’t been to many swimming competitions. Middle-aged fat dude on the beach shouldn’t be wearing a speedo to sunbathe. 20-year old national-level competitive swimmer… has EVERY reason to be wearing a speedo. You can’t compete in cutoffs or swim trunks.
I can tell you water polo players wear it low because they wear it so tight. Having played for 6 years grabbing others’ suits to try and move them around is very helpful so you pretty much want to be wearing as little as possible. The suits are tied so tightly so they’re not pulled or ripped down, and so they naturally ride lower than they most people care to see…
Not only that. In some pools in Europe it is forbidden to wear bermuda shorts and the like because it is unhygienic (too much fabric that can be dirty when you sit on the ground before you enter the pool).
Sppedo. What’s the problem. I’m a New Zealader living in Japan. People don’t hassle you about what you wear to the beach here. Board short are popular, but if you want to wear speedos no problem. Most guys at the pool wear jammers can’t see the point since they are just as revealing and it’s just more fabric to drag around. The funny thing is younger/ teenage boys will change at the pool wrappinng a towel around themselves just in case someone might notice thay’ve got genitals. The same boys will be quite happy to run around naked at an Onsen which is a gender segrigated communial spa. You’ll also see father’s and young daughters in the male onsen, and mums and young sons in the female onsen. No one cares or worries it’s normal! So as far as I can see it’s all conditioning. Me I’m in the speedo camp for laps, and serious swimming nothings better.
Women need to deal with their sexual issues. Boys and men wear speedos for support and it allow you to swim better. We do not wear them for you. Yes, you can see the outline of our gentiles. Let me ask you a question. Why are you look at boys gentiles area anyway. Deal with you sex issues.
I think Speedos have a time and place: namely, in swimming competition. And most of those guys look fine in their Speedos.
I think speedos are hot
If worn by someone with the physique for it- speedos are DAMN hot. If worn by someone average to overweight- pass the eye bleach please.
eye bleach…where do i get some?
ahem…2/3 of people in the US are overweight…1/3 are obese…you, with the guttage, put a sack on it…
Totally not an exaggeration.
(Yes, it is.)
Ahem, no it isn’t. Quit watching “The Hills” and visit a Wal-mart sometime. THAT is real America! Fat, lazy, ignorant America.
soo…..no one on america is fit? everyone is overweight or obese? yeah its an exaggeration.
I agree with Jake, speedos are acceptable all the time if it is a freakin’ sexay man.
r u sure
What if o-range is a girl?
what if o-range is a girl wearing a speedo?
hmm,
Is there a graph of when speedos are appropriate according to speedo wearers?
Maybe; but this graph already makes fun of that one. This is the first graph I’ve lol-ed at in months.
Even if there isn’t a graph, just print the “rules” on the label of the speedo and/or trust the sales clerk’s judgment.

has science yet answered the question why competitive swimmers and water polo players wear their speedos so low?

…eeww.
Whats even more unacceptable is a speedo with a wallet in it.
I have bad news…that lump is not a wallet.
WOOHOO!
Is that a roll of dimes? The water must be pretty cold!
no, its not dimes, its… uhhh….what kind of looks like a penis under a speedo?
The small piece is a wedgie.
Speedos, even. I hate my keyboard sometimes.
They are ALWAYS acceptable on The Todd.
Atomic wedgie!
What about on little boys? ^^
It is acceptable in Europe.
Not only that. In some pools in Europe it is forbidden to wear bermuda shorts and the like because it is unhygienic (too much fabric that can be dirty when you sit on the ground before you enter the pool).
Serious win.
yaaay

Every single pool I went to in my country since I was born does not accept anything else than speedos for men
