Cos i really like wearing speedos swimming trunks (the bikini type) when going swimming in public pools. Im not trying to sedduce anyone but worried others might think that i am. and for your opinion, do those speedo swimming trnks make guys look gay? I love wearing them cos i just really feel comfortable wearing it, it feels so natural and light. And i feel proud of my body so im comfrtable in them. Im 20, and i have a body of a model. and women compliment me for my skin tone. But do you think i offend other people's senses when i wear them? i've never heard of any unpleasnt comments while wearing them but im worried people might be talkng behind my back. and i dnt want to appear impolite or ianappropriate to others. tnx

Personally, I think people who wear them look gay. Also, if you have that great of a body, it will look like you're trying to show off. I work at a pool and whenever a guy wears a speedo, the girls I work with and I all laugh about it when he isn't around.

the only men that wear those things are on swimming teams or in the Olympics! Personally I cannot stand "banana hammocks" and think they are a gross display of private parts better off NOT seen in public. Think of the little kids at the beach, they don't need to see your stuff hanging out all over YUCK!!! Get some surfer shorts, they are in style and are comfortable and have COVERAGE!

Judging from the answers so far, the folks in your age group are a bit on the squeamish side. If that matters to you, take their advice. As for me, I say wear what you like best.
(On the other hand, if your body is that great, maybe you don't really need the bikini.)

Speedos???? If you don't have a GF you probably won't get one wearing a speedo. Be cool, go to a surf shop and get some proper shorts. You don't want to be the brunt of rude and ignorant comments. Besides Bermuda shorts don't cling to you know what.

Wearing speedos is really a babyboomers attire so if you want to appear older than your years then it's probably the go but ultimately I reckon that if you enjoy wearing them don't worry what others think be your own man

They aren't particularly pleasant to the eye for deep thinkers. Wear something a little more modest. Heteros think you are gay wearing a speedo.

If you are on a swim team and need those trunks to be faster, wear them. If you are in a public pool, please wear something that covers you a little bit more. It doesn't look "gay" necessarily, but you'll feel more comfortable if you're more covered.

It's great to be proud of your body but you don't have to show every inch of it to everyone. Speedos are so unattractive regardless of the age wearing them.

It's completely a cultural thing. If you're in Europe, it's not a big deal. If you're in the US, people are gonna think you're gay (or European if you can pull off an accent). If you're not trying to seduce women, then I say go for it. Just don't be offended if someone offers to be your sugar daddy. ;)

Doesn't matter if you are hot or not.
Speedos are a definate DON'T.
They are unattractive and just plain disgusting to see. When you see that bulge knowing what you are seeing and a man-tale in girly looking panties, it is just wrong.
