I don’t have many rules - I’m pretty much an anarchist at heart - but there is this one, and it’s hard and fast - Never have sex with a man wearing a Speedo.
I’m sorry, I can’t think of anything less sexy than a man in a Speedo, no matter how cut he is. (With the possible exception of poop throwing homeless people. That was pretty unappealing.)
Even my husband is more forgiving. When he watched the commercial he said, “He has a great body.”
Sorry, I missed the body entirely. My eyes were glued to the diaper, uh, I mean, Speedo. Now, if he was naked in the ad…
We all have our own notion, version, vision of what constitutes beefcake. For example, I ran into beefcake today. My beefcake isn’t necessarily your beefcake.
***A disclaimer: I see beefcake everyday - my husband. What can I say? It’s why I married him. Yes, I know…I’m superficial.
Oh, back to the random beefcake encounter. It happened in the pet food aisle at the local supermarket.
There I was, perusing the cat food, when he walked by. My eyes were immediately drawn to him. Not because he was an imposing hunk ‘o man, but because he was a striking man. There’s a difference.
A man is sexy because of what’s behind a look cast your way. The cant of his head. A half-smile. The confidence in his step.
This man projected a take-no-prisoners aura without apology. Our paths crossed six times in twenty minutes and each time we exchanged glances. I didn’t see a single other woman pay him any attention, but yeah, he was striking in the same way Viggo Mortensen is striking.
Okay, got that out of my system. How do you feel about sexy?
Tomorrow…more blatant self-promotion! One Four All.

I’ve blogged about this myself. Sexy is a personal thing. I like a nice smile, a great laugh, and a guy who is just a little rumpled around the edges. Beyond that, it’s all about the eyes. Oh my…now that I’ve gotten myself all warm and fuzzy, I guess it’s time to grab my favorite cardboard cut-out vampire and dance my way off to bed.
I’m with you on the speedo. Not sexy at all. If you want to show it, just take the damn thing off, you aren’t teasing anyone with a diaper. As for sexy, I think my idea of sexy changes depending on my mood.
Not really important how he looks, even if some clothes can be just… Eww. A man has to be sexy without clothes anyway. I agreed Ladies who replied previously : it’s an attitude, a smell, something in the eyes… An insensitive man kills anything sexy, even if he’s a Chippendales, doesn’t matter. ‘Macho’ way of life (‘No problem, darling, I’ll learn you how to live/think’) is the AntiSexy. Respect, that is also sexy!
He wouldn’t be wearing the speedo if we were having sex…I’m just saying.
No, all joking aside I so dislike a man in a speedo. You’re right they’re like diapers.
I could live without the speedo…
But that man’s profile was so elegant and so appealing and I love his brows too, I’m going to forgive them of the double sin of a white speedo.
I used to swim a lot, and I loved swimming laps every morning at the college with the hunky male swimmers who wore speedos. So my associations with speedos aren’t too shabby… We all wore some very ugly swimsuits in an attempt to shave a little time off those laps. My suit (plus the lumpy scalp cap! lol) was up to my throat, tight under the arms with a thick “T” strap in the back and elasticized leg openings so snug they dug into my thighs, it was awful!
XXOO Kat
He looks like he’s wearing tightie whities! hee heee….uncool!
Well, you know what my “beefcake” looks like….a lumberjack! I think that guy in the ad looks like a metrosexual pansy ass wearing some tightie whities. Not my cuppa!
Happy Holiday Weekend! :^)
My husband and I have been together since high school and yes…I’ve seen him in a Speedo. He was a swimmer in HS and College. I did cringe when he would come out in the Speedo, but when he’s surrounded by other men in matching garments, it’s not quite so bad.
The one swimsuit I didn’t mind him in was his lifeguard shorts. Something about a buff, tan guy sitting up on that chair when you’re a teenager makes you sigh. Well it also made all of the moms sigh too.
Elena - I don’t cringe quite as much when it comes to competitive swimmers. I swim too. Although I’m way happier now that we have the suits, you know, the long body suits. I love my body suit. Never rides up, never falls down. It’s great and guys look fantastic in them.
Penny, I do have this awful thing about tightie whities. Hate ‘em. My neighbor wears them to swim in and my bedroom window overlooks his backyard. I get grossed out every single time I see him. And I see him all the time because they cut down every living thing in their backyard - up until three years ago, their yard was screened by trees. We can’t plant on our side because we have a basketball court there.
Anyway, the guy is pretty, but I’m blinded by the white speedo.
Yes, Kat, he is like a work of art. But that white speedo! Seriously, he’s a sweet sculpture. Those tight suits are why I love my body suit.
Amber - LOL! You are so right! Didn’t think of that!
Pee - there’s so much to sexuality and sexual appeal - so much under the surface. My eyes are attracted to men who are just a little different, who walk with confidence and meet your eye. Eyes are very important!
Hi Kelly! Yeah, lose the speedo and I’m good with that! My idea of sexy is pretty consistent, with a few exceptions. I’m not generally attracted to blond men - but Brad Pitt won me over with his smile. And I do like Eric Northman and Thor!
Hi Erica! I like a guy who isn’t perfect. Perfection is so not a turn-on for me.
*chokes* Julia, that’s David Gandy. I would hit it so hard we’d both be permanently cross-eyed.
He can be as perfectly pretty as he wants, I’m not keeping him forever. lol
Now a forever guy, that’s different. I won’t pretend outside doesn’t matter at all - I like tall guys, big and brawny and scruffy does it (think Eric Bana, swoon), but I need a guy that gets my sense of humor, is smart and can keep up with me in Scrabble and will cook because I won’t. I love, love a gorgeous smile and dimples kill me every time.
OMG Barbara, how do you know these things? He’s pretty and all, but…You just made me laugh so hard!
Cross-eyes, huh? I’d like to see the aftermath for sure!
I’ve never understood the negativity about speedoes. I think they are terribly unfashionable of course, but a diaper? In what way is it, objectively speaking, different to the bottom half of a bikini? *scratches head* FYI just for entertainment value, we call them ‘budgie smugglers’ in this part of the world.
Sexy is definitely subjective. My friends always told me I liked ugly men. Hey, if that means I don’t have to fight them for him, I’m cool with that. Or, as they say, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’.
Ciara, I think it’s an American prejudice. When I was in Europe, I saw lots of men in speedos and lots of men-parts hanging out or sticking out. Just not for me… Yes, I agree, sexy is definitely subjective.
He’s not my type, though I would certainly take her out some hot balmy evening, maybe for an ice cream, hang on I shouldn’t be commenting here at all, should I
Oh heck yes you can comment! To tell you the truth, I thought the girl was crazy beautiful. Liked her white bikini!
