damn! you took the words right out of my mouth! lol

I was all over the mens diving til I realized it's actually more like BOY'S diving so then I felt ooky for admiring their abs and decided to watch the real men in Water Polo instead. LOL. At least I know they're all "legal"

Can't you tell???  Those suits are made with internal suction cups to cling on to the skin underneath, of course! (wink)

Man, when I was in HS, I was on the swim team and this one very shy guy who was a friend of mine was on the diving team, too.  He ended up dating a TON of girls after they saw him in his speedo.... !

I like watching their bums flip around from the top view of the synchronized diving

Can we all just say a little prayer that the speedo doesn't become popular again? It's one thing to see one on an olympic diver, quite another to see one on an old dude with a beer gut and knobby knees. *shudders* Picture your grandmother in a string bikini.

In gymnastics we used "butt spray" to help stick the leotards to our butts and hips.

I use to have a two-piece sport suit for diving and swimming and the bottom half was very tight and had a draw string on the inside.  I got it when I was a young teen, still into learning flips and stuff off the board.  The drawstring prevented the bottom from ever coming off.  Maybe their Speedos have the same thing?

We teased my 14 year old cousin all week long b/c her mom said she had a crush on that little British diver.  She insisted her mom was lying but we all reassured her that if we were 14, we'd have a crush on him too.

ditto!  

Liesje, I asked someone else and he said "they probably spray glue it to their butts"!

Joyce,  funny you say that about about Speedos/string bikinis on old people.  Last night on E! channel, they had a two hour show about the top 15 Best and Worst Celebrity Beach Bodies.  Arnold, your esteemed governor, got on the worst list with his pic taken in a speedo a couple of years ago.  Let's just say he's not in body-builder shape any longer.  And Donatella Versace for the women, in a skimpy bikini looked absolutely horrendous.  I don't know who had more saggy skin and cottage cheese - her or Courtney Love.

And I'm really not a pervert, gawking at teenaged divers.  It just amazes me how they do those handstands, hold them for a few seconds, and then dive from that position - still doing their twists & flips on the way down.  That's pretty incredible to me no matter how old the divers are.  I can swim, but get motion sick just doing a somersault.

I've never liked speedos because they're too much like tight underwear, even though I could get away with wearing one now. For underwear, I prefer boxers. Swimming, I'd wear regular trunks or board shorts or just go skinny dipping. Although, I have had form-fitting boxcut shorts. But I think the men wear speedos because they cut down the drag cooefficient in the water.

somehow, i dont think skimpy bathing suits is what 300 lb men need to cut down drag.....

What visual? Me in a speedo? Or the drag coefficient. Did you have a vision of men in dresses and make-up?
