One man in a bright red skimpy bikini (Brazilian back at max) may seem a bit odd, a dozen men in bright red skimpy bikinis (Brazilian back at max) looks like a team, while a hundred men in bright red skimpy bikinis (Brazilian back at max) becomes normal. Only by being prepared to be that first man on the beach this morning can we push the envelope.

In california most of the guys wear boardshorts that go to their ankles... It didn't seem odd to me (because I obviously am willing to wear the same thing) but to some it is odd and it can be intimidating too. In a bikini more so than a speedo you will get looks, quips, and people taking pictures of you. I dont mind as they are usually positive, inquisitive, or humorous but I have got the "ick" and "what a freak too". It can be intimidating to many which is why they cover up when too many people start coming by...

Zuma not for the speedo-friendly beach list I take it.
A big contrast to learn of such conservatism (not to mention downright lack of good manners of course) in a state where all the wacky things of the USA are assumed by many to originate.

Lol I wouldn't say that as everybody I saw there was cordial. Most minded their own business. Where you will find nasty people is Santa monica/Venice or Redondo. Oddly the more conservative aeras are pretty cool about it. In fact In Laguna I stumbled across a cove with more speedo wearers then boardie guys. Many Conservatives out here are different from the norm in that they are open to many things many others arent.

OK.....

Btw how would this go down (or should I say stay up ) at Laguna? A completely new one to me - the Union Flag is obvious but frustratingly there appears to be some small text near his left hand which might explain but which I cannot read.

Just to bring the thread back to its original question...( I do like the conversation and pics, though)...

This morning I stepped out to a "balmy" 52 here in the Midwest. I left the tights I wore on Monday in my bedroom and just went with a blue Speedo and a long sleeved t-shirt.Not sure how it looked, but I am getting used to running in a Speedo. I will be blessed if I can pull off similar runs in the months of December-February.

"All I want for christmas is a real good tan".... Went to Malibu christmas eve humming Kenny Chesney. I thought I was working a full day but when I got off at 12pm I went straight for the shore. Word of advise, always keep a speedo and towel in the trunk, it has saved many a free day.

I went for a swim at Waikiki beach, and then walked along the beach strip back to my hotel. The only thing that I wore was my new TYR Safari All Over Racer (in the "Rainbow" color). I always enjoy a good beach-side strut, and I got a lot of smiles and approving stares while strutting in my bikini.

Hot Tub
 

I went down the hotel hot tub wearing my speedo and emerged with a large bulge!
