A winter tan too much?

This kind of goes with the manscaping discussion. I use lotion to supplement my summer tan and for an artificial tan in the winter. Since I swim in a speedo, I create an artificial "speedo tan". But in the winter, I am thinking it is a bit too much to have a dark speedo tan, so I am thinking I should stay lighter. I was wondering what others of you do?

Looking good bullseye. I would say it depends where you live. In Scotland you would stand out if you were that colour in the winter and I suspect that might be the case in some of the more northerly states. But in truth go with what you like yourself

I am in Northern California and people don't have natural tans here in the winter, so dark tans attract attention. Btw, that picture is from summer 2016. Sadly, I don't look that good right now! (But working to get back to it.)

I wouldn't think much of it, plenty people go for sun holidays in the winter and return with a tan or use a sunbed.

Bullseye!!! Holy crap! Love your summer tan! My tanline pretty much stays with me year round. It does fade out a bit, but its still really noticeable. definitely draws attention in the locker room

nice tan line - I have a tan line all year - so doctors, massage therapists etc all know I wear a speedo - I have had a few men and women comment on my tan over the years when having a check up or treatment

I have a tan year round but not as dark in the winter. I am free of tan lines except when I spend a lot of time outside in a speedo in the summer.
