l was watching the Olympics and noticed in men is beach volleyball the men would generally wear over the knee length trousers but the women would wear really small bikinis, often with their half of their buttocks exposed.l know it is a culture thing but l was just curious what the reaction would be if a very good male beach volleyball player chose to compete in a speedo and IF it would be allowed.
First fivewere very lame.NO I am not gay - I am very straight.Just exposing the double standard and asking what IF a man made a choice in conflict of the cultural double standard. If you have half a brain just answer the question, moronic shots from the peanut gallery are not needed.

Do you think they are going to permit that? and the whole world watching him?

are you gay???

if would only be watched by gay guys.

what???everyone would be changing the tv channel to watch dr.phil and oprah!!!

l would LOVE IT if they did wear speedos!!!!!! I'd like to see half THEIR buttocks exposed! :)

Design It Well – But Let Them Choose
You’ve got a point. After all, if women can push for more comfortable uniforms & if swimmers & runners can have ‘aerodynamics’, I’d say, if u want, go for sleeker men’s BVB shorts & shirts. But let them choose. We should not force anybody to wear something if he personally finds it inappropriate.

Personally, l think, if we want to match the ladies, thread for thread, we could opt for what the male pro wrestlers sometimes wear (which can take much punishment) – tees & sturdy, 'wrestler-styled' trunks (but this usually only looks good on a ‘buffed bod’. Oh well…)

Although if they did wear speedos more women would probably watch but it would not be very practical. Think about it. When they jump up to make a kill their ''stuff'' could fall out. Or even at any time jumping up & down. l do not think it is a cultural thing just more practical.
