You were referring to the discussions in the thread "Sauna Etiquette".

I was not doing any bashing. I was the one who was being hurt, being laughed at. Many times many places in this country... I have feelings too!

A few days ago, I went to a vacation beach town in New Jersey.... I was wearing that Chssiebum. I don't understand what's up here. People are so conservative (or whatever you call them)

The suit was a square cut, not even small coverage. When I was walking the beach by myself, I over heard people saying things about it, giggles. "gay slur" in Spanish, "maricon". I mean, my view their culture are pretty wild. Why do they look at swimsuit so conservative. Something's wrong with the people in here. Don't understand why will it be funny to wear speedo type. Do I have to also wear big trunk to the beach and pool too....

But I did found that, if I wear a speedo type with company of ladies, then they would just look and usually not making comments!

Strange - Here in San Francisco, I see a lot of guys in out on the jogging trails in short running shorts and no one makes any comment.

Same goes with me in my short cut off jeans.

Nope Byron... u still don't get it. No bashing in NJH's story. No statement of broad generalizations about a country or its population. By they way, u can make quips about me all over this board... and a while back u called me immature...funny.

in reference to NJH's comments about his beach experience. He only mentioned Spanish as the language of the comments. This does not surprise me in the least. There is this Macho mentality in Mexico that draws the real jerk out in the males. (females too when no males present) They treat women as 2nd class citizens and gays below that. (male to male sex is going on "the down low" and has no meaning, only sex and it is not gay - to them) While in two popular Mexican resort cities I was warned that if I planned a long walk on the beach alone that I should wear shorts or baggies not my speedo. It is not uncommon for a guy in a speedo to be attacked and beat up as gay.
It seems that when they come across the boarder (legal or illegally) they bring that mentality with them. I saw it a lot in Southern Cal and Mexico. I would say to NJH - forget it, consider the source and the mentality of the ones speaking.

San Francisco .... allows totally nude, but people require to carry a towel to sit in public places.

Still, I will feel reluctant to wear speedo, alone, in a crowded public beach in S.F.

I wear short shorts running topless too. I often got comments from kids-teens, "look" " he is not wearing anything underneath" "honk". One time in the area I live, there was a teen boy screamed out, telling the neighbors to look at me. "LOOK, LOOK, he is naked... put on a shirt, put on a shirt."

----------------------------
I remembered during the time of the Beijing Olympic, I was running in a red split short topless. I crossed a traffic light at a major road. One driver went honk honk, "go go go"...
I couldn't tell was it a cheer or tease . .

I read it, interesting comment.

Caribbean islands like Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, etc, where homosexuality is illegal. Only learn about it over the cruise ship arresting news a few months ago.
