Are speedos gross in america?

Question

becasue there not in Europe

Answer 1

sort of. I think it's mostly because many guys who wear them have extremely white thighs...and some of them have *** hair that shows on the edge of the speedo. It's kinda gross, so i think any guy who wants to wear a speedo should go tanning and waxing first.

Answer 2

Speedos are gross everywhere.

We call them 'budgie smugglers' here in Australia. Have a look at a guy wearing them and you'll see why.

Answer 3

only if fat people wear them

Answer 4

Nope speedos are awsome. a lot of americans are just immature and don't want to see any proof that guys have a p***s apparently lol. Anyways, I am going to start wearing mine all the time. If anyone wants to go I am planning a speedo day at the beach in so cal on April 27th. Email me if you want to go [e-mail]  http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/334198

Answer 5

Americans are too uptight.

They aren't gross to me.

Boys wore em on our team.

Answer 6

Short answer: no.

Long answer: You can wear anything you want as long as you are comfortable. I have worn both speedo's and jammers, and I actually find speedos more comfortable. I only wear jammers because the rest of my team does.

And don't let anyone put you down for wearing a speedo either.

Answer 7

Here in America the fashion police say that the only cool  swimwear for men are boardshorts. I think they suck. They chafe your thighs when wet, take forever to dry and give your legs a farmers tan. Speedos are more comfortable to move about in and you can tan your thighs. The folks who put them down are just too self consious of others opinion, at least the guys are. The women who put them down are the same ones who would wear the smallest suit possible, so there is a doulbe standard there. Don't worry about what others say,wear what you are comfortable in. I wear speedo to the pool and beach with my wife and kids all the time.

Answer 8

... yeah, well, the banana hammock isn't too s**y on a man who's wider than he is tall...

... and, truth-be-told, we Americans are a bit repressed and hypocritical and altogether confused about our bodies and our sexual nature. Yeah, it's a generalization, but when it comes to bodies & s*x, most Americans don't know whether their coming or going (no pun intended)... even "liberated" Americans would blush if they traveled Europe (and didn't act like they knew everything and, moreover, didn't act like they owned the place). Yeah - prudish & repressed, yet totally obsessed with s*x and in denial about it to the very end... what a crazy lot we are!

(I guess there's always the preoccupation men have have with size, and NOT wanting to flaunt their lack of it in a Speedo... what do YOU think?)

Answer 9

yes... ppl laugh at ppl that wear them

Answer 10

They're not gross, just extremely g*y. I would never date a guy in speedos. But if the guy were european, I MAY have to make an exeption. ;) HOWEVER, I'd look at him in speedos if I were IN europe, but raise my eyebrows at the "speedo thing" if I were in the states.

Answer 11

Speedo's are not gross at all, in fact when the right athlete wears them it will make them and him look that much better. It all depends on the one wearing the speedo, if he is hairy or over weight then yes it just looks wrong. Its just like some people look good in the nude and others should try to keep their clothes on.

Answer 12

no we have to wae them to race

Answer 13

In Europe it is a more accepted style of dress, while here in America we only attribute them to athletes such as swimmers, etc.
