I grew up in the late 60's/70's and speedos were the choice of suit for swimming at school. originally they were the heavy nylon type but as 'speedo' came along with the much lighter fabric most tended to go for them. they made them in our school colours so it was an easy choice. I loved the feel and clinginess when wet. So i've maintained my use of them as a choice for swimming, sunbathing but in much briefer styles. I wear them regularly at the pool attached to a local university where my gym is also located and have often seen the water polo team in the locker room in their speedos, so not an uncommon sight. I tend to think they are becoming more acceptable and tolerated than a few years ago.
