Growing up in speeds

[Ftgnude]

I never really got out of speedos. In my family it's just what the boys and dad wore. In the morning when we'd get up me and my brothers'd just chuck our speedos on. It was just normal. When mates 'd come over to have a swim no one cared, half the time they'd be in their jocks or speeds sometimes skinny dipping. Seems in America they're shy but here in australia getting around home in speedos or our jocks was pretty normal, mum didn't think it was weird. When we'd load into the car going to the beach and home again she'd have our shorts in her beach bag she said we didn't need them. Maybe my memories are false but all I remember was speedos going barechested all the time and sleeping in the nud. Anyone else remember Aussie summers this way. I'm not that old!

I know some folks here in Australia probably "dress down" at home (underwear, etc). It really depends on family. Mine was ultra-conservative. I had to wear a singlet under my shirt/tee shirt, growing up, even in summertime. The other kids thought I was weird.

yeh, although theres always been a speedo culture here in melb since i was a kid (I'm 20 atm), but i don't really remember much of it being at the beach or anything. Always wore speedos when i swam when i was younger, it was just the done thing. But, as far as the beach it was speedos when really young, but it quickly changed to more being board shorts. Its a shame really. At least they are so called "coming back"
