Why Americans do not men wear speedo ?

[LeanHunk]

People like to blame the media for controlling society's attitudes and actions, but this blame isn't entirely justified. Although the media's influence is strong, they still depend on people to buy into their ideas. The reason why Miley Cyrus and other female celebrities are able to get away with such antics is because the U.S. is still a male-dominant society in many respects.

And as Byron put it, they want sex.

But at the same time we have a double standard. At least here in the U.S. Women are able to get away with wearing revealing clothing without being called lesbians, but guys can't without others calling them 'gay'. Sounds like a misconception where people assume only men, gay or straight, want to look at the object of their attraction in skimpy clothes. At least, that's what the media thinks we want to hear.

It seems like speedos and briefs are a guilty pleasure in the U.S. I remember in high school a few years back girls would scream with delight when the swim team wore their speedos on stage during our Club/Team Exhibition week, far from the lap pool. The media hasn't quelled those girls' admiration of guys in speedos, at least.

And I won't even mention all the brief style swim/underwear American retailers continue to sell despite what the media says.
