Often I am asked how the ‘speedo culture’ is in Australia.
It is OK, at the pool everyone can wear speedos and nobody would look twice. If you were a lifeguard or part of the surf life saving club, nobody would look twice. I’m pretty sure ALL of my friends (who give the impression of being 100% str8) will own a pair of speedos to wear under their boardshorts. If I go for a swim in the surf in the morning nobody would care.
So with that in mind – I suppose the ‘speedo culture’ is acceptable.
BUT – there is always a but.
But, there is no way I’d just wear them if my mates were having a Sunday afternoon on the beach having a few drinks and playing beach cricket. I had a BBQ yesterday arvo at a mates place and he has a pool in his building complex – none of the guys would ever strip down to a speedo and have a dip in the pool. Saying that…. the same guys after a few drinks would strip naked and go for a swim.
Perhaps the Aussie ‘speedo culture’ is ironic. I’m sure if I hung out with a bunch of gay guys it would be different.
I would LOVE to be at the beach on a Saturday arvo and a game of beach volleyball starts up and all my mates are in speedos…..
I can’t believe I’m up this early – I must be still drunk I think.
Ended up at the local pub last night, Natalie was there and is still in my bed as I write this. I’m still not sure what is going on with her boyfriend – women are far too complex.
Anyway, as long as it warms up a bit (yeah it is 6C outside (44F or there abouts) but it is supposed to warm up and I have some mates from Sydney coming up for a BBQ, watch some rugby and play some beach cricket.
Although speedos are completely acceptable attire at the local pool here, they aren’t quite appropriate for an afternoon with friends on the beach so I won’t be beach cricketting in my speedos unfortunately – how awesome would that be though!!! I think it could even be a spectator sport like the beach volleyball. Which gets me thinking – the girls in beachvolley ball wear tiny bikini’s – I think those blokes should wear speedos. That would make it more acceptable for the rest of us to speedo it up.
PS – Seems like that new $4.95 trial at SwimmerBoyz.com is something you guys like. The last 2 days have both been new records for new members. Thanks for all your support guys.
