Recently wore a miniscule white bikini at a hotel pool in the Netherlands before reverting to naked like most other people!! Also wore a turquoise Kiniki micro bikini in Poland which had very little support and quite bulging let alone a bit transparent. Quite a number of years ago I wore a tiny yellow string bikini by Dore at a private pool of our rented villa when visited by the rather large lady from the agents. She smiled and gave compliments but not bothered! Yes there are the modern day fashionistas who label anyone in a ‘speedo’ – ranges from any brevity or make of bikini style swimsuit- as gay. I think fashions will revert especially when divers at Olympics and similar events wear quite skimpy speedo styles. Hello BD, you mentioned you don`t know any guys personally that wear bikinis or thongs. Just curious if you`ve seen other guys wearing them? When I was growing up I think they were a lot more common (esp in the 80s/90s) for guys to wear. My brother and I would stay overnight sometimes and there his friend would strip down to his bikinis and sleep in them. I was envious of his cool underwear and wanted some myself. That same guy is a friend of mine now, I don’t know what he`s wearing for underwear these days but last time we were changing I think he was wearing boxerbriefs. I guess guys don`t really `discuss` underwear and what the other wears. It`s too bad that it`s viewed as something weird to talk about almost. I`m not sure if its just the culture here in North America, sometimes I think it is. It seems like other cultures in the world are a lot less judgemental than ours when it comes to fashion/style/underwear. I have a theory that its partly to do with the puritans that came over to north america. We have that puritan culture here which has its positives but also it`s negatives. Just wanted to comment and mention that I`ve had friends that were known bikini guys.
