    This post isnt what I thought it was going to be at all! :brokenheart:

    Hey you are totally free to post pics of your 'bigness' interpretation, I'm sure they will be welcomed. ;-)

    Okay... Speedos are not my thing either... but if I saw any of these boys... my first thought would not be " I wish they had on larger swimming trunks" :)

    Yes, I also had a different interpretation of what "big" would be when I clicked on this thread!

    In that vein (pun intended), when I swam competitively, one of the guys on my team stuffed a part of one of those big, round smoked sausages in his speedo before a meet. He waited until the last minute to take off his sweats, stepped up the starting block and, well, :noway: just blew everyone away.

    THAT was definitely too much for a speedo to handle. Not sure if any man naturally has that problem though.

    Oh my god I just spit water on my screen. I agree my dad used to wear one (european thing) I was always embarrassed and horrified when we would be on vacation at the pool. I wanted to drown myself!

    No man should wear a speedo. They are the most disgusting things I've ever seen.

    Even this is unattractive to me. If I want to see your junk, I'll ask. This is just gross to me. This is the equivalent to a camel toe.. yuck!

    You can never be too "big" for a speedo, but you can be too small, or too fat. LOL

    Dear all men,

    Please do not wear a Speedo regardless of how thin, in shape or great YOU think you look in it. Please. It is a crime against humanity to see a man on the beach in a Speedo. My boyfriend is naturally thin, has very low body fat and is in AWESOME shape... I don't even wanna see HIM in a Speedo!


    I couldn't agree more!! ABSOLUTELY NO SPEEDOS EVER!

    Board shorts are HOT (especially Affliction)!!!!! Yummo! *whistles*

    Unless you are a professional swimmer you should never wear a speedo regardless of your size. They are terrible.

    For the love of all things holy Speedos are never okay in public, I don't care how hot you are. No one needs to be seen in a banana hammock for any reason!! :laugh:

    Budgie smuggler, banana hammock, ding-a-ling-sling...

    Unless you're a pro diver, swimmer or water polo player don't even think about wearing one :noway:

    Not wanting to stereotype.. but on my holidays it seems reasonably common for our larger German friends to be donning a pair of speedos .... :).

    EDIT: Shame on you girls for treating us men like pieces of meat. Daniel does have emotions too you know :D.

    For the love of all that is holy PLEASE, guys, NEVER WEAR A SPEEDO. Speedos are only appropriate for men competing in swim competitions and even those guys don't look that great in speedos.


    Amen and Hallelujah Sistahs and Brothas!

    If it's hanging out, it's too big.

    LOL! Unless he's a competitive swimmer actually wearing it for a swim meet, any size is too big for a speedo!

    ^^^This!!! Personally, I think a tasteful pair of swim trunks looks best. Speedos gross me out even on the most physically fit men.
