For ages I haven’t been happy with the name SwimmerBoyz.com for my main site and I’ve finally pulled the trigger and changed it to SpeedoFetish.com.
This is a site that I first started back in 2001 when I was still in high school and it has evolved from a free site to just put up my favourite speedo photos for my own viewing. The gallery (which is still available) ended up being 6,500 sorted/searchable photos.
I called the site SpeedoBoys.com.
From there, I started putting up some of the early speedo movies – there weren’t many and the quality wasn’t great but it was a huge success and people loved them. Problem was, I received a 1 month bandwidth bill for $800!!! So that is when I had to start making it a members site to cover that cost.
The site was so popular that I eventually repaid the $800 server fee and I kept building the site. This got the attention of the Evil Speedo Corporation who took the SpeedoBoys.com domain name off me. So I renamed the site SpeedoBoyz.com. A few years went by and they then took me to court in Australia. I even made the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald!!! Obviously I couldn’t afford to defend against this (I was in college driving a $300 car and living with my parents). Speedo won in court because I not only couldn’t afford to defend the case, but also because I didn’t want my anonymity exposed – I’m still in the closet to my family.
One of the unintended consequences of the Evil Speedo Corporation trying to sue me was the mainstream publicity. During that time I had 10 times more members!!!
That is when I renamed the site SwimmerBoyz.com which has never really sat well with me since it isn’t really about swimmers or boyz at all, it is about guys (over 18yo) who like speedos in a ‘naughty’ way.
I still have a bunch of work to do rebranding some things as well as updating some links and stuff but I’m excited to move forward with the new name which I think describes the site much better. Otherwise things continue as per usual, there will be another 80 minutes of speedo movies added this week alone!!!
OK, I should get back to the business of running SpeedoFetish.com.
Tomorrow I will be sharing with you guys a story that I just published on SpeedoFetish.com about a Grindr hookup and there is a speedo selfie of mine….. here is a photo taken at the same time, this was last year when I was in Colorado for the Lake Powell trip and it was taken in Kip’s sisters hottub.
It is feeling like summer here in Aussie – going to be in the 30’s all weekend which is awesome.
I am not going to be out enjoying it, instead, I am going to dedicate the entire weekend to working on this blog.
I’ve been running the membership side for a little while now and it has been great!!! A lot more of you guys joined than I expected and it has allowed me to publish more movies and stories (both take time and server costs which is hard if the blog is just free). Since it wasn’t quite the same system as my site SwimmerBoyz.com, I didn’t quite have my head around laying it out properly.
I think I have a better handle on how it will work even better.
Right now the comments are hit and miss which sucks because there have been 8,420 comments on this blog since it started and I have read every single one of them and I’ve replied to most of them. Kip will be helping me beta test a bunch of it on different devices but pretty much it will just be me working for hours, and hours and hours – hahaha.
It worked for the SpeedoForum.org – which I spent nearly 4 days straight working on a month or so ago.
If you guys have any ideas or feedback I’d love to hear from you – if the comments don’t work here, I’d love an email DaveEvans@SwimmerBoyz.com.
Ow, and the reason I have been able to put this weekend aside is because a whole bunch of the crew here are heading to Tasmania for a wedding – I know the guy but since I didn’t grow up on the coast here I don’t know them that well so I didn’t get invited so I’m going to be a boring nerd and sit around working in my speedos all weekend – I’m actually looking forward to it.
Of course, I’d prefer to spend the weekend doing this……
Or doing this……
Or just hanging out with these guys……
Brenton is an old online mate of mine who started his blog Aussielicious.com.au around the same time I started AussieSpeedoGuy.com. We’ve worked on different things over the years and these days Kip even keeps his blog online. Unlike me and my passion for speedos, Brenton takes it a little bit further and loves being nude.
It is fun following his adventures on his blog and yesterday he posted the comments below regarding speedos and modesty.
Given how paranoid most guys are in gym locker rooms about anyone seeing their junk you’d be forgiven for thinking that they go to the beach in neck-to-knee swimwear from an era long gone. You’d be wrong. Apparently all it takes for guys to feel comfortable is a tiny little piece of fabric covering their genitals. Australian’s all around the country are fans of speedo style swimwear. Sure there are guys that wear boardshorts but, especially in Sydney all the guys that live in the gym and get changed under a towel are the same guys wearing the skimpiest, tightest swimwear around. More often than not that same swimwear is designed to emphasise the exact area that they never show.
All of the popular brands seem to have a “pouch” style of swimwear designed to highlight and thrust forward your junk. I get that it makes it appear a bit more impressive than it really may be but it’s not going to turn a 4 incher into a 12 incher is it? Speedo style swimwear and even boardshorts when they are wet really don’t leave a lot to the imagination so it’s amazing that it only takes that little piece of fabric to not only preserve our modesty, barely, but also to give us the confidence to walk down the beach feeling great.
Interesting thoughts, during my time in America I found that it was the opposite in the locker rooms at the pool, guys were happy to strut around butt naked but nobody else would wear a speedo. But in Aussie it is the opposite and I agree with Brenton’s sentiments.
