First Impressions: Men in Black (Speedos)

When we found out we were moving to Brazil all I heard about were the scantily clad women and their thong bathing suits.

I didn't here too much about the men.

One word-SPEEDO. (or as Guapo likes to call them, "marble-bags")

Here in Brazil, men of all ages and all body types (I'm not talking about Fabio here) are donning their speedos. And not just for swimming-o no. Here speedos are appropriate attire for:

  • swimming
  • volleyball
  • jogging
  • biking
  • eating
  • lounging
  • walking about town

Who knew?

I will try to get some photos so you can get the full effect.

"marble-bags"- that's a new one! My hubs calls it a banana hammock!

Men in Brazil must think a lot more of their bodies than the rest of us do. :) I love "marble bags".

You know what I say about speedos, right? I say "NO".
I'm gonna have to pass on the marble bags.
Or the banana hammock.

We were swimming the other day and saw an old man in speedos. The kids thought it was so gross. I agreed!

LOL Maybe I should send the Speedo men some of the too-short-short-shorts women around here!

LOL, can't wait for the pictures!

Why is it gross for a man to wear swimwear next to his body but it isn't for a woman?
