The last month (February), I went to a beach 44 Km south of Lima called Playa Blanca, in the district of Punta Hermosa, with one of my best friends which I will call 'Drew' (it's not his real name). It was a very hot day and my sunscreen was slipping from my face after only five seconds. Drew is openly gay and knows I wear speedos but he only wear shorts; however, he has a white and thin body acceptable to wear speedos if he wanted. I packed four speedos in my bag (Clever UK, Clever Flag, Addicted logo black-yellow and lilac AussieBum Viper) for changing myself while being at the beach. I didn't found any bathroom or changing room in Playa Blanca, only a single public bathroom in Playa Negra -at the middle of Isla Punta Hermosa, Playa Negra and Playa Blanca and serving the three beaches-. So, after seeing some hot guys in speedos, I wanted to change my shorts to speedos using my big beach towel as a 'courtain' but Drew told me not to do it and stay in my shorts. I was very disappointed with it but I didn't tell him thinking it was only a Peruvian cultural matter.
Two weekends ago Drew and I wanted to go again to Playa Blanca but he was partying the night before until 6 -under cocaine and marijuana effects- and had sex with a Colombian hookup, so he woke up at 14 -I had to reach to his house and scream his name- and it was very late to reach Punta Hermosa. Then we decided to go to Los Yuyos, a beach in the very central district of Barranco (so bohemic, so hipster). This time I was with my swim shorts but I changed my underwear to speedos at Drew's bathroom, deleting the need of a changing room at the beach. Once in Los Yuyos, I slipped my shorts in order to stay with my speedos (Clever UK). Drew was surprised but get used to it easily. It was a very self-confidence exercise. We took pics of us with me only in speedos between the cold-but-refreshing weedy water that he still doesn't send me. He was wearing black swim shorts but didn't take off his T-shirt. I realized that Drew didn't want to see me changing to speedos in Punta Hermosa due to lack of changing rooms or bathrooms. Or maybe he's really disgusted with my costume but I'll stay doing it because it's part of my identity and authenticity. Whatever... I'll wear speedos again in front of Drew next time we go to a beach and bring two pairs more to lend to him, even if he tells me that I look like a bitch and need to go to the gym
(Drew said it as a friend joke)Do you think that Drew could want to wear speedos in a future visit to the beach with me? Could I influence and encourage my close friends to wear speedos if I do it in front of them using the strategy of speedos-under-shorts? Should I talk about speedos with my friends more frequently? I know Peruvian people it's not very speedo-friendly but speedos are already a growing trend in middle-high class gay guys 18-30 years old. I'm only middle class and here it isn't a trend yet. Maybe I could be the new speedo influencer in Peru

:3 I can't see your avatar but I bet you look better than me. I have gained weight since Christmas. I weighed about 57 Kg last year but now I weigh 64 Kg. I even upgraded waist size from 28" to 30" (that's why I have to buy my Turbo LA Uni and Q Eye of the Barrel waterpolo briefs again in size 32" or 34"). Today I bought a Monark elliptical air cross trainer from a big store near my apartment and it will be built in the next days, so it could be a good companion to reach my goal to lose some weight before flying to Chile.
