One of the boys from movimus...wearing one of the many many bikinis/speedos I purchased for movimus (formerly NHB) over the years...great to wrestle in these!

OK - do the guys stick to nylon or Lycra - or doesn't matter ?
(NHB was previously NoHoldsBarred?)

[miloandtock1]

Yes it used to be NoHoldsBarred...changed about 2.5 years ago to Movimus...it is a good honest company. And I think their product is very very good.

I used to go hunting on ebay for years...many of the suits I got were new, unused - it didn't matter lycra/nylon either was fine...many of the suits were from Europe or Asia, some in the US. So almost the entire collection of suits that the owner has, is mainly purchased by me. Some are swimmer briefs ( 2 inch sides), some are more true bikinis (1-1.5 inch sides, higher cut, backside may be less full although some of the Asian suits cover full backside and still are 0.5-1 inch sides, with nonpouch front - those a re the best suits).

One of the biggest problems with guys that like speedos is they are basically chickens. Guys may go to the beach or pool with speedos on under their shorts and not see another guy in a speedo and not take the shorts off. Has it ever occurred to you guys that maybe there are a lot of other guys with the "I don't want to be the only one in a speedo" mentality that are sitting on the same beach in their shorts.
If you like your speedo and look good in it, by all means wear it. So what if you are the only one, you know you are comfortable and like what you are wearing. A regular cut speedo is a common swimsuit and nothing to be shy about. I have a basic black 2" I travel with (among others) that I can wear if I am unsure how the crowd by the pool. I found another way to deal with the speedo is speak French and they will think you are a tourist.

There were several men, including me, in at the poolside carry out lunch counter.

One other activity is beach volleyball. I know someone who plays regularly and he mentioned that while board shorts are most common, a few of the men play in speedos.

Back in 1981-1985 - in NJ where I am from, in Vernon Valley-Great Gorge, there used to be a water slide theme park (rather unsafe now that I am thinking about all the hazards!) called Action Park...when i went there during those years, I would say at least one in four guys, and among guys under 30 that was one in three, were wearing a speedo/swimmers brief, even the lifeguards there wore speedos. I don't remember anyone making a fuss, but in the 80s - speedos were a regular occurrence - at Swartzwood State Park, Lake Hopatcong...and of course up and down the Jersey Shore - Seaside, Asbury, Atlantic City, Wildwood...

In Aquitaine in the Bay of Biscay, France; the locals go fishing in speedos and square cuts. They use "volleyball" nets that they walk through the shallows as the tide goes in or out and catch any fish passing by.
I guess this is a sport and it provides dinner.
This is a type of fishing best done in speedos.

Byron, how terrible long --UGE... URK...

Tw will have to come up with some pictorial (and piscatorial LOL) evidence here. Nowhere do I find any speedos - far from it for the seiners I have seen.

Ancient method - I thought of French etymology but it apparently goes way back to the Greek sagene (meaning fishing net)
