Yes, very true. Americans are so hung-up on the male body. When I've traveled to other countries, it's so refreshing to be able to wear bikini suits to the beach or pool.Most of you guys on here are from US so I do feel for you and the "hostility" .. Looking for words to describe about men who "buck the system" and refuse to wear "dork shorts" Growing up in Australia in the 70/80s .. we all wore speedos. A great time. Nowadays.. the younger guys are towing the line so to speak .. mostly, but luckily in Aus us older guys can still enjoy wearing our speedos at the beach and pool. Kind of a "boomer" thing ...the younger ones condescending . That said.. I think if you're going to wear yr speedos in public.. need to hit the gym and stay in some kind of shape ... and shave.. or at least manscape. I'm totally smooth waist down and have generally found comments positive.. especially from older ladies.
Italy: I went scuba diving in a bikini with two other guys who were in trunks -- short but loose. The dive was in the bay, not too deep, so the water was warm (this was summer and during a heat wave). After the dive we went back to the beach, sat around a table and drank espressos (the Italians know how to live, right?). We were still in our swim gear, so I was the guy in the bikini and no one cared.
Hungary: At a big outdoor public pool in Budapest, guys have to wear bikini suits. Mine was green with a pouch. No one cared.
Greece: When I was in college I wore a Speedo bikini to the beach. Totally normal for guys. A pretty girl who was topless, and not skinny (!), sat down next to me to chat!
Cuba: Wearing a bikini I strolled along the shore, and actually got a whistle! No one was in board shorts. A few guys in trunks, others in bikinis.
Québec: At a hotel pool on the roof, I wore a pretty daringly skimpy bikini; it was night, so it wasn't quite so obvious to the dozen or so in the pool. But even getting in and out, no one cared either.
Australia, Gold Coast: There for a conference in the winter, the water was too cool for me and I had little time, but about half the guys were in either bikinis or square cuts. Interestingly, all of them wore black suits.
Wales: Went to the hotel pool, where probably ten adults were either splashing in the pool, laughing in the hot tub, or relaxing on the pool deck. I was the only male in a bikini (the other men had paunches), but no one looked twice as I got in for lap-swimming. A pretty young woman, around 25, got in for lap-swimming too; she was quite slim and looked heavenly in a light blue one-piece. Didn't care what I was wearing.
Estonia (on the Baltic Sea): Guys in bikinis were no big deal, and in fact the pretty Estonian girls kept smiling at me as I walked by in my snug bikini.
Moscow: On an overnight stay with a family, the neighbors invited us to go swimming in the river (it was a hot day). I said I hadn't brought a swimsuit, they said just swim in your underwear! Luckily I was wearing a bikini brief because if I'd been any more covered I'd have been the weirdo. (And I kick myself for not packing a proper little swim bikini.)
USA: If your thighs aren't covered you must be pervert! lol
