Yes

No

If you wear a speedo, why do you wear it? (Choose the best answer)

I never really thought about it, it just make sense to wear a speedo.

It's just because I'm gay and gay people wear speedos.

The speedo debate is ridiculous. People should wear what they want without fearing judgment and stares.

I'm not from the U.S. and speedos are acceptable swimwear for men everywhere else.

Americans typically have a puritanical attitude and are taught to be ashamed of their bodies. I'm not.

Long board shorts don't make practical sense to be worn as swimwear.

They are more comfortable.

I do it for attention and/or because my girlfriend/boyfriend likes them.

If you do not wear a speedo, why don't you? (Choose the best answer)

I am too shy and/or insecure to wear one.

My girlfriend/boyfriend thinks they are gross.

Everyone else wears board shorts and I conform.

I don't know where to find one.

I would be totally comfortable, but the people I am with wouldn't.

Do you think there is a double standard among the sexes when people in general are not suprised by an overweight woman in a two-piece, yet they scoff at a man in a speedo?

Yes

No

Considering that families take their children to the beach where women wear skimpy bikinis, isn't it a bit unfair and/or sexist to suggest that a man wearing a speedo around children is improper?

Absolutely, people should stop being ashamed/afraid of the male human body.

No, it is more acceptable to see women in less clothing.

If your girlfriend tells you it would be gross for you to wear a speedo, did you ever consider any of the following? (Check all that apply)

My girlfriend would be fine with whatever I decided to wear.

She would probably FREAK OUT if I EVER told her she looked "gross" in ANYTHING (hypocritical).

It is nasty and rude to suggest that my body is gross.

She might react that way because she resents that men enjoy women in skimpy swimwear.

I shouldn't care what she says and I should really try wearing one anyway.

If I actually wore one, she probably wouldn't care - and might actually like it, despite what she says.

What is the probability that you will ever wear a speedo or speedo style suit to a public pool or the beach?

Will you give a try, at least once, just to see if you might like it?

No way!

I'll think about it.

You're right, maybe I should.

I'll try anything at least once, so yes!
