Simple as that. The guys that do wear them are either swimmers, gay men or guys such as myself that just don't give a sh*t what people think. I wear them because I like them. If someone doesn't like what I'm wearing, that's their problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518338169505998967.post-72673511668161533342019-07-25T17:20:44.720+09:302019-07-25T17:20:44.720+09:30Thanks for sharing, nice post!

I have to say: I find American men very shy with their bodies and rather prudish. I remember thinking that the "privacy shields" at the urinals were hilarious. (Actually, I find Americans kind of prudish, full stop) Australians have a reputation for machismo, but I find American men MUCH worse. Specifically, American men seem terrified of being seen as "feminine" in any way. The other day someone laughed at me because I was wearing a scarf. Apparently they're regarded as being "for girls". I find this American horror of male nudity to be somehow linked to the American fear of emasculation - a man baring himself is making himself vulnerable and, therefore, "feminine". As another poster says: how are budgie smugglers different to bikinis. And, of course, it's very common to see topless women at the beach in Oz. As for the fear that "children might see them" - huh? I grew up wearing them, my dad wore them and they were comparatively decent, because I saw him naked all the time. In fact I remember he once screamed at me for watching TV in the morning while he was stark naked. I don't know what's caused it, but I have noticed a decline in men at the beach in Speedos in Australia. Now the guys who wear them are mostly older or gay. I don't know why this is, but I suspect it's an American influence. Wog boys seem to wear them a bit more, because they have a bit more of a European easiness, but I do wish Aussie men would actually go back to Speedos. I prefer it to American self-consciousness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518338169505998967.post-10649198234675898372014-06-29T03:15:22.662+09:302014-06-29T03:15:22.662+09:30Just an FYI (and a gigglr), in my family they are ...Just an FYI (and a gigglr), in my family they are know as a four-letter-word-that-rhymes-with-Rick stickers!!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144505831233014425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518338169505998967.post-88141202335758063952014-06-01T16:28:55.384+09:302014-06-01T16:28:55.384+09:30Obviously a budgie smuggler wearer?
