old guy now - fond speedo memories

[jwkalpha]

I'm in my late 50's now - not in any kind of shape that a speedo looks good on me, and I'm rarely anywhere that I would wear them out in public anyway, but I still have a couple pairs as well as a large collection of very brief underwear and jocks that I wear all the time. I wore one on the beach at a resort in Mexico a couple years ago to yank my wife's chain - there were a fair number of Europeans at our resort, so older guys in speedos was not terribly uncommon. The folks we were with thought it was hilarious - my wife didn't notice for at least a couple hours that that was all I had on laying out under the palapa! I thought it was a hoot - she didn't.

It is hilarious to me at the change in generations since I was in high school 40 years ago and my son was in high school 8-10 years ago.

When I was in school, gang showers were the norm - jr high and high school locker rooms - nude shower after PE class and after-school sports, etc. Being naked in the locker room was never a big deal. We rarely wore towels around our waist - we were too busy drying our long hair while we were walking back to our locker. Yeah, there were the occasional guys that got hard-ons in the shower, and they were teased mercilessly and probably got a towel snap on the ass, but nobody really cared - it was just something to joke about and was forgotten an hour later.

I worked at scout camp during high school summers. Speedos were routine afternoon wear - swimming, canoeing, rowing, etc. If we were down in the aquatic area, speedos were the ONLY thing the staff were wearing - no trunks of any kind. Gang showers were it for the staff and campers alike. Campsites actually had an open air single shower that was used frequently. Again, nudity among guys was never a problem. Nobody cared. It was about 50 yards from the staff tent area to our shower building. Although we didn't do it in the middle of the day with all the campers around, with early morning or evening showers when there weren't a lot of people around, we were just as likely to be carrying our towel as wearing one. We had absolutely wicked speedo tans - especially the aquatics staff. Nothing but speedos all day. And these were thin speedos back then - single layer nylon with a front liner. My first pair were an orange paisley print (OMG!). Back then I actually had the body for it. I also had the body to look good in "Indian costume". Those of you who were in Scouts know that there is a lot of American Indian rituals tied in with some camp activities. During some of our ceremonies and activities, we wore loincloths or breech-cloths - and no underwear. The kids never saw it because of the lighting, but from the side, everything was noticeable. Hey, no speedos back in the 1800's! These costumes were pretty damn authentic.

In our dorm in college, we had the big bathroom/shower on each floor - the dorm was too old to have individual bathrooms. Again - nudity never a problem. Most of the time we carried our towels, never wore them around our waist. More likely than not, shaving and brushing our teeth were done nude. Nobody cared. We all did it. And our dorm mother (yes, we had one) knew better than to come up on the floors before 10am, because she'd likely find a naked college boy walking to or from the showers.

Fast forward 30 years. Showers at the high school? Individual stalls - and even then, some guys take showers in their boxers. Seriously? At all the local gyms - individual showers - and in most, towels are required in steam and sauna. WTF? Rarely will you see a naked guy in the gym locker room, and if you do, it's most likely an older guy like myself who was raised in an era where nobody cared about being naked among guys. In my son's college dorm, the gang showers had curtains added. Duh. The idea of seeing your buddy naked - totally routine and common when I was growing up - is now considered "too gay". That's the only thing I can figure out. And it's really wierd - in an age where porn of any variety is instantly available online (back in my day we had a hard time finding a discarded Playboy), the insane modesty of today's teens and young adults is just hilarious to me.

Enjoyed your stories. I have similar memories of the 'old days', and as you say, it is astounding to see the way young guys today (high school and college age) cover themselves even in locker rooms. Many change under their towels - how crazy!They shower in their swimsuits so they don't have to be naked... I can't understand it - sexuality is everywhere - Victoria Secrets ads on TV, porn on the internet, yet boys today are scared to be nude, even for a few seconds, in front of other guys!

Much time has passed since wearing Speedo swimsuits when I was younger. I especially have great speedo memories with my beloved uncle at our swim club. He's gone now, but certainly cherish our time together wearing my favorite tight water polo briefs or Speedo swimsuits. He always liked seeing me in them, especially after a nice swim at the swim club. Our enjoyable times together were only giving my wet young college age body a nice feeling, while getting my tight swimsuit off and seeing me with a nice healthy erection enjoying the soft tight nylon or polyester clinging to my lowers wet or dry. When it was time to shower and change, he would say before showering "it's time Speedo's coming off now". It was always a tickling erotic time for me and a joy for him seeing me squirm and pout like a child as those clinging tight wet swimsuit or water polo briefs would slowly come off. He always was in the nude and really loved seeing me naked and erect in the showers while being gently soaped and rinsed down by him. It was certainly a beautiful time. His home was especially nice with a special undressing room for his guests, mostly of middle adult age many in tight sexy underwear, as they helped one another undress and go into in the main guest rooms totally naked for an enjoyable long period of time. I called the changing or guest undressing room, the "Nude Room" which I didn't look forward to enter to get naked before being in his home. Many times, I would be wearing my favorite leotard and tights with snug light blue overalls, known by him as my "Kiddie Clothes. " He would always guide me into the "Nude Room" , where he would slowly strip all those snug layers off me til I was finally naked. I'll always remember his favorite quotes while undressing me out of my sexy soft leotards "off leotard off", as he happily unzipped and peeled down and stripped it off, then saying "off leotard and tights off, "everything off off! as he managed getting the tights down and off with my clinging speedo style briefs when my full hard on springs out and soon, totally naked. Those were great times together and glad I was with him. The only real enjoyment for us, was seeing me in those tight Speedo swimsuit and tight sexy "kiddie clothes" and stripping them off me. One other favorite of his quotes was "let's get you unspeedoed before taking a shower together at our swim club. Those were great Speedo and Halloween days and nights in warm snug "kiddie clothes" memories, I'll always cherish.

The feel,of his wet warm hands untying the long drawstring on my tight wet clinging Speedo swimsuit, then managing to slowly strip them down, as I would tightly squeeze my legs and trying to cover my outlined very excited erect penis, still encased in them and partially exposed lower rear behind still snug in my Speedo. It was so beautiful with him saying "Loosen up, it's coming off now!" while trying to strip it off my wet torso. After a lot of playful resisting, he was winning, as I felt his warm wet hands and tight wet material, slowly coming off. After my excited penis slipped out, soon he was tugging the tight wet speedo out from my rear behind, when I would look up at him towering over my young college age body with a big smile and a healthy hard on too, while I'm feeling the tickling tight wet rolled down swimsuit and dangling drawstrings slip free from my lower anatomy, then he's peeling it down and off my childish kicking feet while telling me" step out of it." We would give one another's naked bodies some more warm, wet hugs, as he continued smiling like a big daddy that finally subdued and overtook me out of those tight wet tight wet Speedos.
