There is ‘AA’….Why not ‘SA’?

As promised previously, I am starting a movement...Who knows maybe it will catch on....

I personally think that the families of habitual Speedo wearing men are a public sector that deserves a support group to change men’s behavior and save the family from further embarrassment.

I am thinking of starting one and these would be my top 5 steps to become ‘clean’ from the Speedo.

The "SA' bylaws:

1.) Admit that you are powerless over the Speedo.

Speedo abusers who come to my group will have to wear their Speedo, stand in front of the group and admit that they have a problem.

‘SA’, however will not be as kind as other support groups. Family, friends and other group members will be allowed to taunt the new members to give them a dose, to their face, of what people really think about their Speedo.

2.) Take a critical look in the mirror.

This step will also be completed with the aid of the group. In order for the habitual Speedo wearer to understand the reason friends and family are so embarrassed they will be critiqued by members while looking in the mirror.

This is because the man with a Speedo problem does not see themselves the way others do.

3.) Make a list of all of those who have been directly harmed by Speedo wearing.

Most people that have been harmed by the Speedo don’t tell the offender, they tell the family members.

So the family members of the abuser will help him make the list. Wives will be #1 on the list.


4.) Tell each person how sorry you are and mean it.

Habitual Speedo wearing can damage relationships with friends and family as well as scare little children.

The abuser will need to whole heartedly take responsibility for his actions and mend broken fences in order to continue a normal relationship with those he has offended.

5.) Spread the word and throw away the Speedo.

In order to have successfully completed the 'SA' program for habitual Speedo use, the man in question would have to educate others on the error of their ways and the harm it can cause.

The final step in the program is to have a ceremony for discarding the Speedo, by any means that completly destroys it, to signify the end of its use forever.

Of course, these are the words of my frustration with my own Speedo wearing husband and not to be compared with support groups that are real.

However, I may have stumbled on to something that could be of service to many wives who deal their husband’s obsession like I do.

I have not written in a while because we (hubby, me and Speedo) went on a cruise to Mexico....that story including the pics of Hubby coming soon...

Another great hub in the continuing Speedo escapades. I am just crazy about the idea that hubby will feature into this in person. Some day.

Meanwhile, I don't think there's anything attractive about a Speedo at any time, on any guy, no matter the superior condition of his abs and legs or whatever. If a guy wants to show himself off that way, I don't want to see it in person...I'd rather see it in a photo on the Internet that I can delete. And I feel the same about women in G-strings. Keep it off the beach and out of the family picnics.

Woo-hoo, Lacy!

I so love it when everyone posts these awesome comments. I, of course, agree that speedos should be kept behind closed doors... blush... Yes my dear Donna....there may be the rare few who can 'rock' the Speedo....but where are they??? Not at my house... LOL

Sally the delete button is our friend! I also agree that the G-string should be included in the support group.....as evidenced in Ralphs comment.... You have to look at his link...hilllllarious....But I warn you...it's not for the faint of heart and probably shouldn't be viewed (marisue)...LMAO

Wow ...we may be onto something here

LOL - you even have several hubs on this. Did it ever cross your mind that in other countries what you call "speedos" is considered a standard swimsuite? And long pants are not.

There are few guys who can pull off the speedo successfully....and those are the guys that never wear them!

I find your whole page to be very juvenile. If the old fat guy wants to wear his speedo that his business, not yours. I too prefer the board shorts. But if I see a fat guy in speedo, I don't ridicule him, I simply look elsewhere. The overreaction that you're giving to speedos make me believe that you actually like them yourself. Grow up you prude!

David,

This is all in fun and I'm sorry if you feel offended. I'm glad you look eleswhere.....as do I..... and you are certainly intitled to your opinion.... Perhaps my writing does not suit your taste... and you should turn your head when it comes to my hubs also.

I can respect that some people do not like the look of speedos on men.

I prefer wearing a speedo over trunks because:

1. I stay warmer with my low percentage of body fat (speedos dry a lot faster)

2. My thighs do not chafe like they do with trunks

3. Speedos are so much more comfortable to be in the water in because they do not drag water and air like trunks

I think our culture has a double standard -- "we" accept women's swimwear next to their genitals and often outlining their labia, breasts and nipples. What is the aversion to the male body? Is a male body "ewee", "gross", "indecent" compared to a female body?

I would like everyone (men and women) to try swimming in swim trunks compared to the "speedo" style.

A famous boxer was questioned as to why he wore briefs rather than boxers when he had to strip down for a weigh-in. He replied quickly that in American culture men who wear boxers are actually wearing them for other men, to gain acceptance. Whereas men who wear briefs are wearing them for the ladies. He said, "I don't really care about what other men think about my underwear, I am more concerned with pleasing the ladies". This was a Latin Boxer. Makes sense. Many men would love to wear briefs, but are afraid of what their pals would think if they caught them wearing them. Apparently men in Mexico and Europe are far more self-confident and sure of themselves then American men and usually prefer briefs.

I think that Americans just find speedos stange b/c they aren't used to it and b/c many guys are insecure about their bodies. I think some women are a bit insecure about men's bodies too. I kinda like a fit guy in a speedo. I also sort of feel sorry for guys who swim around in those huge shorts. I wonder how they don't drown.
