Why do people associate speedos to gay men? I know many straight guys that wear speedos to the beach or the pool. And I know many gay men that wouldn't be caught dead in a speedo.
So where does this stereotype comes from then? |
1980's porn...
I'm not guyding... I'm 99% sure that is where the whole trend started in the US to associate speedos and gay men. |
Are speedos gay or not, and why are they gay or not. What guys should wear speeods? I'm 16 and 130 mostly muscle and I wear speedos for speed and exercise. |
| No they're not. People who say they are just a bunch of imature losers who don't know anything. |
Are the wrestlers who wear the speedos gay? I've always wondered because not all wear the speedos. |
| That would mean Randy Orton, Y2J, and several other wrestlers who are married to woman are gay.... so no, that's not necessarily true. |
Why do gay men love speedos and straight men hate them? What is the correlation? |
| gay men have better self image and are not afraid to show it off. They don't have a sense of "macho manliness" that they have to protect at all costs like straight men |
Do any of the gay boys here love wearing speedos? I'm in my 20's and love to wear speedos to the beach. Anyone else enjoy this? |
| I have worn them before, but I don't really like them. I prefer trunks. |
Why is wearing speedos associated with being gay? I used to do a lot of competitive swimming and am therefore used to wearing speedos when going swimming or at the beach. I keep getting strange looks and once a guy winked at me. It is most disconcerting. I am not exceptional in the tackle department, but should feel comfortable wearing what I want when going swimming etc. |
Speedos aren't really "in fashion" in the US for casual wear, though they are good for swimming competitions and what-not, and even when they "were" they still "weren't." They are much more common in Euorpe, and you'd even be considered out of fashion or prudeish over there if you wore the "shorts" style that is the norm in the US.
Usually in the US we tend to see two types of people that wear speedos casually. 1) The types that have the body for it, but they tend to come off as way to "look at me." 2) The people that don't have the body for it, and we don't want to see what we are seeing. It's kind of like seeing the 80 year old walking around on the nude beach instead of the 20 year old. ha-ha! |

So where does this stereotype comes from then? |
| Because people associate a guy looking sexy or sexual with him being gay. It's very stupid really, but our society often thinks only females can be sexy or dress provocatively. |
Why dose every think wearing speedos are gay? why do every one thinks it gay to wear that i don't think it gay they still wear it in Europe do think its gay |
| its just our society is homophobic and anything that someone can turn into something homosexual they will hence making it "gay" |
