Disappointing lack of speedos

[Fairfax]

Interesting story Swimmboy.

At first I was amazed that anyone who has the confidence to sunbath in a speedo wouldn't also wear it for lap swimming but I guess it shows how perceptions of what's appropriate can change over time.

If like most young men today he has only ever seen jammers worn for competitive swimming he regards them as the appropriate choice for fitness swimming.

Much like a lady might wear a one piece for fitness swimming then choose a bikini for sunbathing.

Have you ever suggested he ditch the jammers and just use the speedo for both jobs?

High end competitive male swimmers now believe they can attain faster times in jammers than speedos.

Yes, guys prefer the jammers for racing in big meets. I asked a college swimmer several years ago about why jammers were so popular. He told me something interesting - he said the tight fabric around their thighs helps hold the muscles in place, and prevents the thigh muscles from jiggling around. Thus, their thigh muscles do not feel as tired and stressed during a race. Also, the fabric is supposed to be slicker than human skin, so the more of their skin that is covered, the faster they can go.

As for the guy I know who swims in jammers and sunbathes in brief Speedos - no, I haven't asked him why he doesn't just swim in Speedos, but I may ask him in the future. I'm just glad that he wears the brief suits on the pool deck and has a nice tan!

Interesting indeed about the reason for wearing jammer to assist with muscle compression, I suppose it's the same principle as compression shorts which I wear for running. Maybe I should get jammers......um.....nah!

Or maybe you should try very short running shorts for running!

I finally asked the guy at the college pool why he wore jammers for swimming instead of the briefer suit. He told me he had grown up competing in jammers, so he feels more 'streamlined' in them. He also mentioned that his quad muscles don't hurt as much when he races in jammers.

The gradual opening of social concepts has also driven this demand, and the surge in posts discussing American products on online forums and social media reflects the rising willingness to buy. However, the market is not without challenges; economic fluctuations may affect the decisions of price-sensitive buyers. Despite this, data shows that domestic sales in the United States have doubled in the past five years, indicating that the consumer base is expanding. Ultimately, the group that chooses American sex dolls includes not only individual users, but also collectors and professionals who prioritize the transparency of the local supply chain through multi-channel comparisons. The popularity of the full size sex dolls further strengthens this trend because it provides an immersive experience and meets diverse needs. Overall, although the number of consumers has not reached explosive growth, the steadily rising curve indicates great potential in the future.

The only place where I wear my swim briefs is at Fire Island. Where it's more acceptable. And my partner laments the fact that it's not more acceptable for men to wear swim briefs. I'm not sure why in the United States it's not that acceptable for men to wear swim briefs. They are more comfortable than wearing swim trunks. And those board shorts on grown men are just absurd. My partner calls them 'birth control shorts' because they will never get any action.

When we go vacationing in South America, I just use my swim briefs. I don't bother bringing the swim trunks...

Maybe the obese and ugly in mind and body who will never get any action are jealous of the young and beautiful and force them to conform by wearing board shorts.
If conformity forces you to wear shorts on a beach wear them a couple of inches shorter than fashion demands and you won't be alone.

You know, it happened to us when we were at Sandy Hook. I had on my brief swimwear and my partner had her t back. We walked past some lady with her kids and as we went by, she said to us....you people are shameless. I'm not kidding. That was the first time. We laughed and it was like...WOW! And I'm not sure as to what she was expecting. We were headed over to Gunnison beach. So there were quite a few people wearing skimpy swimwear.

But I imagine that lady was a suburban mom who is probably sheltered and doesn't get out that much. Then it's a shock when she sees some cake at the beach.

For the most part people smile and complement us for being a nice looking couple.
