Why do older men wear Speedos?

[zungaboy]

I think are several reasons.
1) The speedo begin to disappear at middle of 80’s, this mean the guys who was born before 80’s they growth using smaller swimwear.

2) After the year 1940 with the WWII (second world war) the clothes begging to be smaller and magazines like “LIFE” show a lot of marines completely naked in the war. A lot of people begging to understand a guy naked or shirtless at home or at the streets like a “real men” who don´t feel fear about be a man… at 1985 (maybe) the clothes begging to be longer and baggy… this mean the people who was born and growth between 1940 and 1979 they have less fear about be more naked than the younger people who growth with baggy shorts (no shorts-shorts or speedos) and growth using tank tops in a hit day (no taking of the shirt)


3) The men we have different “sexual steps or ages” (“Young Male” 12-25 years old; “Young Adult” 25-30; “Mature Adult” 30-55 years old, and “Elderly” 55-99+)
To educate to the young people the occidental society like to teach in the brain of the youg men “guilt feelings” (for example: if you like to masturbate them Jesus will cry and also God is looking to you, if you like to show your body it is sin, etc). At the “mature adult age” the “guilt feelings” beginning to disappear. It is a good news because the older people really feel more free than the younger people. also with loose the “guilt feeling” some guys with the years begging to have “sexual perversions”. Because they fail to repress themselves

Yes, that's true. Here's pic of me at 68.

That nylon AB looks great on you! It is such a classic look and you have the perfect long thin smooth body for it. I wish those briefs would make a big comeback

Your pic looks great, you make that suit look nice.

Great picture!

It reaffirms my circular belief that wearing a Speedo motivates you to stay fit enough to wear a Speedo.

"Fit enough"... lol

We live in a day and age where men and masculinity are held in low regard. The whole western culture is "men are privileged" therefore we must restrain them & "you go girl!" It is no suprise that both male values and the male form are held in low regard. Since when did so many women get grossed out by the male form?

You are right Sebbie. Wrinkles are a sign of maturity and history and wisdom. Though we all wish we didn't get them, they are nothing to be ashamed of. Like it is often said -- inside every old person is a young person trying to get out. You need to choose your friends by their attitudes, not their age. Some people resign themselves to getting old and don't realize that age is as much attitude as it is chronology.

I've discovered something that I hadn't thought of before, I hadn't foreseen that being in good shape in my fifties would be so unusual. Nor difficult! But it is both. I get compliments when I didn't before, being physically fit is more common among younger men and when I was there, I didn't stand out because I never was a body builder. Just a wiry swimmer! Notice that those who looked like Charles Atlas thirty years ago don't look so good now. But wiry swimmers are, like just mentioned, same thing but wiser and a little wrinkled. I disagree that women are grossed out by the male form. According to my wife, the ladies at the health club enjoy their eye candy.

50 Free you are right. As a swimmer and runner as a kid, I was the skinny runt against the big football guys. I was, however, way more in physical shape and while my body is showing its age, I still am fit and can rock a swimsuit pretty darn well. For sure I have some skin that sags a bit and my abs are now a bit more muddled (oh well!). The ladies at the pool I swim at all check me out like never before. I swim once in a while in the free lanes while the ladies oldies water aerobics is going on, you should see the way they check me out. Yes, those ladies do like their eye candy. Truth, I like showing it off to them...
