Ideas about this blog.
Expedia (the travel website) did a beach survey back in July and speedos were discussed in detail.
Here are some results that I thought were interesting:
- Only 7% of Aussie’s said they are ‘Speedo Lovers’ but 72% said speedos are acceptable beach attire!!!
- Nor surprisingly, only 50% of American’s said that speedos were acceptable beach wear.
- The lowest in the survey was Japan where only 29% said speedos were acceptable – kind of odd since in Onsens you aren’t allowed to wear anything.
Top 5 Countries where speedos were acceptable to wear on the beach:
- France – 91%
- Italy – 87%
- Brazi- 86%
- Sweden – 83%
- Australia – 72%
My take from this survey, I’m surprised how many Aussie’s thought it acceptable beachwear. My main group of mates on the Central Coast are all between 20yo and 30yo and we hang out on the beach and play cricket and I can’t imagine any of them wearing a speedo when just hanging out. At the pool or going for an early morning swim would be fine but I don’t think they are that speedo tolerant just yet.
Last time I was a member at the Gosford pool a majority of guys wore speedos where here in Colorado and even in San Francisco where I was a member of a pool, I’m in the minority when I’m wearing speedos.
Maybe with the soccer World Cup and the Olympics down in Brazil, their love for speedos will spread north into America.
The weather here in Colorado over the last week has been fantastic. Warm, no wind and Breckenridge opened last Friday. It means that today I was up early, went for an early morning swim, then had 4 runs snowboarding and back in the office by 10:30.
Don’t worry it isn’t all peaches and cream, I fully expect to be working until midnight or so and then I’ll sleep like a baby.
On my list of things to do today is to reply to a request from International Jock who wants to advertise on this blog. Instead of just a static banner ad that maybe we’ll do something more fun.
How about this idea? They offer a pair of speedos from their site up for grabs for a reader each month? Or get their model shoot photo galleries and I can make them available to you guys.
Anyone have any good ideas?
I have ordered from International Jock (I think I ordered some N2N speedos from them) and they seemed good to deal with.
Not sure if ES is sold on International Jock but I’ve been seeing more and more of them around the web these days…. might be because they have some hot photo shoots.
I was wondering what to post today and I noticed that this is my 1,900th post.
Wow that is a lot – I can’t imagine how much time that is if I sat down and created 1,900 posts at once. Would be weeks of work or maybe more.
Loving the comments that you guys have been posting – there is 6,136 total comments which is awesome. I know some of you guys don’t like this layout as much as the old scrolling layout but it was so that I could turn comments back on. I still might go back to a scrolling format, we’ll see.
One good thing about this new layout is that I can post more photos in each post which I hope you are enjoying.
It has been a whole 3 days since I posted about trying to get speedo fit. I’m going to post some updates on here to keep me motivated. I was a touch hungover yesterday and had Subway for dinner which was a little slack but it wasn’t ordering a big greasy pizza from Fatty’s (I love Fatty’s pizza). There is a cute Irish chick who works at Subway too…. she is a liftie in winter and she was lovely and bubbly so I might be ordering subway a little more often.
On Monday I tried one of those DVD fitness things – I think it was Insanity. I’ve never done anything like that and holy moly I am sore!!! Sore enough that I didn’t go to the pool today.
We’ll see how things go.
This morning I ordered 2 pairs of ADIDAS 3-stripe speedos for Kip and myself. A little 1,900th post present although I didn’t know it at the time.
There is a bunch of speedo sex stories that I’ve added to SwimmerBoyz.com in the last week or so – I might post one of them tomorrow for you guys.
