Male Stars Feel the Need for Speedos

Female celebs routinely sport bikinis but recently it's the men who are making a splash in spandex.

While board shorts have long been most men's swimwear of choice, lately everyone from musicians to movie stars and even athletes, have been throwing modesty to the wind and flaunting their stuff in variations of the classic banana hammock.



Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin may have been livin' la vida loca in his black speedo on the beaches of St. Barths but it's his ripped bod that really has us going crazy.

English soccer stud David Beckham causes a commotion everywhere he goes. And by the looks of the metrosexual poster boy in his skimpy bathing suit this was no exception. David's speedo gives new meaning to the term "Bend It Like Beckham."

When blonde Brit Daniel Craig was chosen to be the next James Bond people wondered if he could fill the legendary spy's shoes. But as seen here in a scene from the upcoming film "Casino Royale," Craig's sculpted physique in his tight black trunks help to really show off his 007.

5. I disagree with you! I think it's really hot! Granted not all men should wear them and only few can pull it off but when I see a man that can actually pull it off YUM!

6. Finally some equality! We can only hope that this starts a trend that brings back the sexy revealing styles of the 70s and the body-acceptance culture of Europe. If we can see how out of shape we are, people will start getting back in shape (hope). Will skin tight jeans be next?

7. Excuse me, Kat - are you a straight woman? I'm just wondering because there is nothing sexier than that from my view! To see a fit man at the beach wearing a speedo, all sweaty and tan, gives me the chills. To each their own, I guess. I just don't know how that would make you want to throw up. Hmmmmm...

8. Kat aka Kitty Licker Mcgee has got to be a les. If she aint then shes got some issues to get over. But if she is, go lay down some carpet cause your opinion on men doesnt matter much since you gave up on them long ago.

10. It is unfortunate that most everyone in the US is either so ashamed of their body or so hung up on nudity or near nudity, As for speedos, more power to the guys who wear them and actually look good in them. On most of the world's beaches the the way Americans dress for swimming make us stand out as if we were walking naked on the street!

12. Hell, i've been wearing speedo/speedo-type, bathing suits forever. Why should women be the only ones who have a corner on looking sexy? And the," Reagan-Exorcist", looks I get from girls AND guys don't bother me a bit !!! I was a real wallflower/fatty in high school, but about 2 years after graduation; I went from the ugly duckling to a Swan---& man, did I deserve it ! I'm no Adonnis, OR bed-hopper,but damned easy on the eye. Most other American men are too inhibited to try & look nice & hot in public, & it seems that the majority of the American public,women & men,go out looking like total HELL !!! Seems like some people don't care how far they let themselves go--- & it's a damned shame ! 'Nuf said !

13. I am WAY 'over the hill' but I see no difference in a gorgeous male in a speedo than a beautiful female practically nude in a very brief bikini.

14. I think a well developed male body has a certain symmetry and nothing shows off that symmetry better than wearing a Speedo.......well other than total nudity. Love those nude beaches!!!!!!!

15. Well,....from what I understand,..all clothing is an issue here in America.

It seems as if everyone follows everyone else with styles and fads,...

But I think that any clothing that shows off your body and enhances your figure should be just fine to wear.! I agree on the comments here, that these types of swimwear for men do look flattering on the mens body,..but ALL things in MODERATION.

If any human has a body that exemplifies HEALTH, STRENGTH, MUSCLE DEVELOPEMENT, and or PLEASINGLY ATTRACTIVENESS,.......
then why not allow them to display or enjoy the benefits of it.???

I agree,....people that have attractive bodies should dress to be comfortable and to send a meesage to others,.....that the human body is and can be a remarkable form of art.

Besides,...when you are in shape,...you look better,...feel better,..and therefore you are likely to has a better confidence level in your life.

I agree,...these men look great, and are fine examples of what the human body can look like with proper nutrition and excercise.!!

I say,..let the guys have fun,....and "Men,...drop those long pants you call shorts",..
baggy shorts or pants for that matter,...look sloppy and as if you are wearing your fathers 4 sizes too big clothes."!!

Dress for success,....

.......OR BE A SLOPPY NO-BODY.!!!!!!!
