Further to the Speedo Menace
Posted by Rick Salasar
In response to The Speedo Menace, Sean writes "Why are men told not to wear a speedo and women are told they can wear what ever they want to. I have woren a speedo in High School, College and beyond. Know at 30 years old I still look great in one. People need to mind their own business. I do not see people complaning about women wearing thongs. I do not think anyone should(man or woman)wear a thong and women should not go topless on the beach either!!!!"
You went "beyond College"? Why shouldn't women go topless on the beach? Surely someone as educated as you would see the lunacy in believing that the very sources of our first sustenance in this world are not natural and beautiful but ugly, offensive and bad. By the way, this isn't you, is it?
Dear Sean, there is nearly an entire (and still expanding) universe between the net effect of men wearing Speedos on the beach, and hot college co-ed beach volleyball teams wearing nothing more than thongs, Coppertone and smiles (largely the result of the previous night - and a bit of the following morning - with Rick).
There is of course the tiniest of chances that you look good in an elastic blue nut-hammock but why should the rest of us suffer because you want to prance about in public, showing off your spiders' nest?
The real reason there is huge pressure for the War on Terror to be concluded ASAP is so all of those military and intelligence assets can be deployed where they're really needed: the War on Speedos.
Friends, we live in a post-9/11 world, let us not forget that. The rules of the game have changed. We're dealing with an insidious evil; a multi-headed hydra; a constantly-shifting, ever-changing loosely-woven enemy network, bound together by a cult-like distorted ideology that has, as its ultimate aim, the destruction of all that we hold so dear. They will not hesitate and they will stop at nothing. They will use any means at their disposal to ruin our weekends, our holidays and our all-inclusive package holidays, and they will twist words to justify their actions.
With the exception of those whose athletic commitments require them to do so, people who wear Speedos in public hate our way of life. Even Thorpedo (if ever anybody had the right to don Speedos, it was Thorpe) has enough sense to wear a full outfit.
The rest HATE OUR WAY of life and I for one am not willing to sit around while that way of life is attacked by those who would see us live in a hell of belligerant, bubble-bellied, balding, ballsac-brandishing beach-bums whose only objective in life is to leave women in shock, children in tears and marine life diving for the safety of the deep!

HEY FARANG! Who gave the authority to declare the war on speedos? Is it because your penis is so tiny that you are afraid to wear swimming briefs because you would not show a bulge? Or is it because you are just a closet homosexual afraid to look at men's bulges or afraid you would lust after a burly man in a bikini?
Why don't you just mind your own freakin' business and let people do whay they want? If you don't like them, look the other way. Or go back home. Or move to a Muslim fundamentalist society where men cannot show flesh between their navel and knees and women are veiled from head to toe. In any event, be grateful you are in Thailand, a free country, you bloody silly buffoon.

Rick Salasar, if we were in the 70's, you'd say "what's the problem with speedos ?", like anyone at that time. Nowadays, it is the opposite. Now you have two options : you make a smart analysis of this fact or you just stay childish with your speedophobia.

Rick Salasar, I don't think you'll understand what I'm going to say, but let's try.
"By the way, this isn't you, is it?" -> Go to google.com, search for "feminization of men", and browse the results. You'll find sociologists explaing how and why men tend to became more and more feminized. Ear rings, beauty creams, beauty magazines, hair removal, and... pretty underwears. All of this enhanced by jobs that are less and less manual.
In the 50's, women's underwears were already very sophisticated and sexy (you can find proof of that on the web) whereas men's underwear was very, very basic (everybody knows that). And it lasts till the 80's.
I remember my military service in the 70's (in France). We had to strip down to our underwear the first day, and the others guys made fun of me because I had a coloured underwear. Yes, their point was that I was a bit on the girlish side. It was not a common thing, I guess I was amongst the firsts buyers of such underwears, and they were considered by men like men thongs are considered today (ie feminized).
But it's past, now. Manufacturers of men underwears made a lot of brainwashing via commercials and different things. Now, in 2008, the average teenager want to be slim, hairless, and have the latests fashion boxer-briefs. You have to spent a lot more money when you act like a girl, because the Nivea for Men products are costly, the pretty underwears are costly too, beauty magazines, etc. Instead of having 50% of the population that spend a lot of money in the beauty industry, manufacturers achieved to have 100% of the population. And it's only the beggining. Marketing departments really have some talent, although it requires several decades to set up everything.
You have to be young (teenager or less) for the commercials to have a good impact on you. That's why old men are not at all interested in sexy underwears. They were old already when the brainwashing begun. By the way, I wouldn't rely on the point of view of a 15 years old kid.
It's not a coincidence if all this happened at the same time that hyper-consumerism was growing.
So, Rick Salasar, if you want to wear pretty underwear and be good looking on the beach (if swimming with pants-like swimwear can be considered good looking), do so. But let people who don't watch too much TV and magazines what to do. In the past, speedos and white briefs made NOBODY feel incomfortable. So why did we have to change something ? Here in France, it's just the same as in the USA, we are just 10 or 15 years behind you. But now 99% of young people hates speedos and basic underweards here.
In case you don't agree, feel free to
1/ give YOUR explanation of what has made people changing their mind (I don't ask you to explain why speedos are bad, but why people suddenly started to think differently).
2/ read some books by sociologists explaining feminization.

Forget all the noise of the above posts. Speedo's have no place. Parade your trouser snake in the bedroom, not the beach.

Speedophobia is a Joe Sixpack and/or childish thing.
