How should I take this?

[Torchwatch]

For years men have been told that speedos are gay and naff. If you are the only guy at the beach in speedos then when you are not there no one is wearing speedos.
A new generation of young men have come along who haven't seen or thought anything about speedos. They see you in speedos and you actually look good, better than they look in their long shorts.
Now they are looking, soon they will want to try it.
