    Yes, some men look good in a Speedo, and if I don't like the way someone looks, in any kind of swimsuit, I manage to find a way not to look.

    As someone who swims on a daily basis, I have a different take. WHen I was larger and wearing a swim dress, it just created so much drag. When I bought a plain one piece, the difference was amazing. I was able to swim much faster.

    Now that my suit is too big for me, I am getting drag again. Most guys who compete swear small tight suits and I have to say that a guy who is in shape, swimming his heart out in a tight little speedo has my attention.

    lol it obviously makes sense for him to wear it and for swimmers, but personally I don't like it.

    Please don't. I don't care if you're packing an anaconda. A speedo is just not attractive.

    Yeah, Daniel Craig. But those are more like short trunks. When I say Speedo I mean the briefs. I'm not sure even he could make those work. It's amazing how a little extra fabric on the sides is such an improvement.

    OMG. I have just realized that I am a tight swim panty freak. That 007 pic just did it for me. Wow.

    Ok, not many can pull it off (oh get your MIND out of the gutter!) but neither can a lot of girls pull off a bikini. I have seen men and women wearing skimpy suits that they just shouldn't.

    Basically, if it gives you a muffin-"anything" then do us all a favor and go for full coverage.

    But for the men who have the physique and look good in one, I say, go for it. They've ogled women for centuries. Turnabout is fair play.

    I think the actual Speedo can look great on some guys if they have the right physique to pull it off, i.e.: long cut legs, tight butt, broad shoulders and med-smallish hips (imo) This is actually pretty hot!

    Plus any dude brave enough to strut this in public, you know you don't want to mess with. I find that level of confidence very sexy.

    but personally I prefer this:

    they cover just a little more and are less reminiscent of women's panties. :laugh:

    I actually prefer the Speedo. Mind you, they're both lovely. I like skinnier manly physiques in teeny tiny suits too.

    Ultimately, I'm not on Earth to critique what other people wear. I don't care if someone with an imperfect body wears a skimpy swimsuit.

    ^^ most recent Speedos (as defined by most) I think look good! on those guys

    I think what makes them often NOT look good, or rather, what many people might find off-putting, is that the lining underneath is just insufficient to hide the shapes (even, textures) they contain. Gotta pack it up in public!

    (I believe that's Daniel Craig again? I know those pecs & thighs. Yeah anything he wears is ace)

    After years of boys and men in teensy track shorts, dancing tights, and lightweight yoga pants, I've learned not to stare down there. It isn't any worse than what shows in some of the skimpy outfits that women wear.
