Why do people associate speedos to gay men? I know many straight guys that wear speedos to the beach or the pool. And I know many gay men that wouldn't be caught dead in a speedo.
So where does this stereotype comes from then? |
1980's porn...
I'm not guyding... I'm 99% sure that is where the whole trend started in the US to associate speedos and gay men. |

| Because people associate a guy looking sexy or sexual with him being gay. It's very stupid really, but our society often thinks only females can be sexy or dress provocatively. |
Why is wearing speedos associated with being gay? I used to do a lot of competitive swimming and am therefore used to wearing speedos when going swimming or at the beach. I keep getting strange looks and once a guy winked at me. It is most disconcerting. I am not exceptional in the tackle department, but should feel comfortable wearing what I want when going swimming etc. |
Speedos aren't really "in fashion" in the US for casual wear, though they are good for swimming competitions and what-not, and even when they "were" they still "weren't." They are much more common in Euorpe, and you'd even be considered out of fashion or prudeish over there if you wore the "shorts" style that is the norm in the US.
Usually in the US we tend to see two types of people that wear speedos casually. 1) The types that have the body for it, but they tend to come off as way to "look at me." 2) The people that don't have the body for it, and we don't want to see what we are seeing. It's kind of like seeing the 80 year old walking around on the nude beach instead of the 20 year old. ha-ha! |
Do any of the gay boys here love wearing speedos? I'm in my 20's and love to wear speedos to the beach. Anyone else enjoy this? |
| I have worn them before, but I don't really like them. I prefer trunks. |
Why dose every think wearing speedos are gay? why do every one thinks it gay to wear that i don't think it gay they still wear it in Europe do think its gay |
| its just our society is homophobic and anything that someone can turn into something homosexual they will hence making it "gay" |
What do gay guys think of speedos?? Because I know straight people hate them. I'm gay and I think they look cute, but I want to know what other people think. Are speedos hot or not? Assuming the guy is young, in shape, and not too hairy. |
This particular gay guy thinks they're fine for swimming competitions or to wear under certain swimming trunks than don't have a liner.
But this gay guy wouldn't wear them out to the beach or pool. |
