I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AMERICAN MEN DON'T WEAR SPEEDOS.  MEN IN MOST OTHER COUNTRIES WEAR THEM AND THINK THEY'RE GREAT.  HOWEVER, I DO UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH THE OPINION THAT MEN WITH LARGE STOMACHS SHOULD NOT WEAR THEM.  I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME MEN WOULD BE SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT WEARING SPEEDOS.  HOWEVER, I THINK THAT IF MOST MEN WORE THEM, VERY FEW WOULD BE SELF-CONSCIOUS.  THE REALLY INTERESTING PART ABOUT THIS WHOLE TOPIC IS THAT YOU WOULD THINK THAT MEN WOULD LIKE TO SHOW OFF THEIR PACKAGE BY WEARING THE SPEEDOS.  HOWEVER, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN OVERALL PUBLIC BACKLASH AGAINST MEN WEARING SPEEDOS BECAUSE THEY'RE "GROSS" OR "GAY."  LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
