Hotels

I could tell they were curious about us, but were being polite, until the guy asked how old I was. After I told him, he said "Damn, approaching 40 and still totally rocking a speedo!".

That's awesome.

I wore a pair to a pool at a fancy hotel in Orlando back in September (The Pointe). No one batted an eye or stared.

It was nice, actually.

Here in Florida, we do get visitors from overseas in first class hotels, so maybe they're more used to it. I live about a mile from the beach on Palm Beach (but my neighborhood is very average and on the mainland, not the island), and have noticed men wearing speedos on the beaches in front of the hotels, which are all expensive now. (The little mom and pop motels of old Florida are all gone, turned into resorts and condominiums, at least around here.). You rarely see speedos on the public beaches, though nobody seems to care if you wear them. More common in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.

I wore mine at nighttime. I don't know if that made a difference or not.

[MrMusik]

I always wear swim briefs or less at all hotel pools.

I have never had anyone at any hotel ever say anything negative to me about it.

25 or 30 years ago when I was doing a lot of business travel, and was in much better shape, I went for a morning swim in the outdoor pool at a hotel in San Antonio. I wore my black, 1” Speedo Solar. When I hauled myself out of the pool I could see my reflection in a wall of mirrored glass adjacent to one side of the pool and I thought “ Damn, I look pretty good!" I didn't get any reactions from anyone and didn’t notice if anyone else was staring at me. Only later did I learn that the other side of the mirrored glass was a dining room, so who knows if any of the breakfast crowd was getting a look at me or not!

Depends how long you spent posing and admiring yourself in the window!

Only long enough to climb the pool ladder and walk away! Ha!

I wear speedos to hotel pools all the time. One hotel, this was before I started wearing thongs pretty much all the time. So, the hot tub had a rough bench, so I pulled it to a thong to not damage the seat of it. Then when I was done, got out. I didn't think about it, and didn't pull them out. Walked down the hall to the breakfast area, and got breakfast, which included waiting for the Belgium waffle to cook. Got other items, walked around the area. Then walked over to the elevator, and went back to the room. The whole time no towel or any type of coverup. When I got to the room, that was when I realized I still was wearing it as a thong.

Another hotel, used the jacuzzi in a speedo, then decided to get breakfast. Walked thru the lobby, and went in the breakfast area. It was packed, easily 30 people. So I had to wait in line for some things. Just went about my business, no cover up, no towel, no shorts, not shoes, just a speedo. Walked back thru the lobby past the front desk. Waited for the elevator with several other guests. When the elevator came a bunch of people got off.

Any time I go to the pool / jacuzzi in a hotel, I put on the speedos or thongs in the room. I don't take anything to cover, not even a towel, and go down to the pool. At a Marriott in Chicago I was on the 14th floor, went down in the morning, this time in a thong. The elevator must have stopped at every floor. Filled up with people, then stopped at the lobby. The pool is below the lobby, but the lobby was packed, and a bunch of people saw me in a thong from there. Went down to the pool, easily 15 people there. Walked in in a thong. Chatted with people. Acted totally normal. Had multiple women check me out, and had conversations with virtually everyone there. When done, took the elevator backup. It stopped at the lobby, and a bunch of people got on, me just in a thong, and took it back up to 14.

All the time! usually nothing comes of it, although I do remember a time a few years back I was traveling through the deep south in the US. Went to use the pool and caught someone from the cleaning staff checking me out!

One hotel I was at, wearing just a thong. I had come back from the pool, and was in the room, and realized I needed some ice. So, still in a thong, grabbed the ice bucket, and went to find the ice machine. Ended up it was on another floor, so I had to walk around all the while in just a thong. No cover up, nothing else. Passed many people. One couple, the guy gave me a dirty look. I said good morning, and he would not respond. His girl, who was quite attractive, said hello and was all happy. Caught her looking back checking out my ass after I passed. The maid was in the hall, and she couldn't stop staring.

Another hotel, Holiday Inn in Chicago. Came back from the pool in a speedo. Maid saw me, and checked me out. About 5 minutes later she and her other maid friend knocked at the door and asked if we needed anything for the room. They both couldn't take their eyes off my crotch. The fact that the speedo has a pouch probably helped with that.

Another hotel, if you wanted pool towels you needed to go to the desk, they didn't keep them in the pool area. I was wearing a pouch speedo, and had my penile implant pumped up. Went to the desk, and there were 2 women ahead of me. One was checking in, the other needed something else. I stood in line and waited like 15 minutes, just in a speedo. A woman came thru with a dog, and stopped, and I pet the dog and talked to her.

My wife and I stay at a Courtyard near the airport in Orlando. When I am there, I will put on a very small pouch thong, and just walk down the hall like that to the pool. Go out in the pool area, and get in. That pool has a very strong water return at just the right height, so I may have gotten to know it better.

I used to go on cruises. When I did, I would put on the speedo in the room, and then walk to the pool in just that. Sometimes go to the spa, and use the steam and sauna, just in a speedo. One time even went to the debarkation talk just in a speedo. Never had a towel with me. We sometimes have gone to Half Moon Cay. I will put on a speedo in the room, then with only crocs and the speedo, walk down to the tender embarkation. Ride the tender out to the island. Look thru the little stores in just a speedo. Hang out on the beach in the speedo. When it is time for lunch we walk over to the pavilion, and get our food, and sit and eat, still in only a speedo. The only clothing I have with me all day long is the speedo. I don't bring any other clothes with me. Then at the end of the day take the tender back to the ship, go thru security, and then walk up to Lido to get a burger, and eat up next to the pool. I will use the hot tub then for a bit, and when I do finally take it off, it is to go to sleep naked. On the island I am literally miles away from any other of my clothing.

If women can walk around everywhere in a thong bikini, then I damn well can in a speedo.

I have walked off the ship in Grand Turk, and spent the day at the beach and pool, and then gotten back on the ship in just a speedo as well.

There was a time where I was nervous and self conscious about wearing a speedo just at a pool, but I have reached the point where I just don't care, and the thing is, most other people don't care. Yes I hear whispers, but I truly don't care. Besides, I will never see these people again. I have had many women ask to have their picture taken with me, and I will always do so. I don't care, I am in public in a speedo, so if people have pictures of me with them like that, and it makes them laugh or smile, great.

Maybe it gives people the opportunity to not take life so seriously. I mean, you see a guy in a speedo at the breakfast bar in a hotel in a thong, posing for a picture with a hot woman, I would think it would make you stop and think. Hopefully I have made people's day by being in a speedo. Not necessarily my intent, but if it does, great.

I am in no means perfect, but I am comfortable with myself, and that confidence is power. Also, not giving a shit gives you a lot of power. I realize a long time ago that there are always going to be people who don't like you. Doesn't matter if you are fully dressed or in a speedo or thong. At least give them something to talk about, and have fun doing it.

I do not own any boardshorts, so there is no choice, I have to wear a speedo or a thong.

I say everyone needs to wear speedos at hotels. Don't wear a towel, or shirt or pants over it. Just put it on in your room, and go to the pool. If that means you are in a packed elevator with people, then so be it. The more we do that, the more people will realize it is normal.

Always wear speedos at hotels:
A few years ago I had a business trip to Tampa, but the last day I had time before a late flight. I wasn't staying there, but there is a Hilton Garden Inn by the airport. I had checked it out before and found that the gate from the pool to the parkin lot isn't locked. So I packed bags, put on the Prism suit under shorts & drove over, ready to catch my flight later. Going right on the pool deck, got towels and laid on a lounger to tan, looking straight at the hot tub, where an attractive woman was in a bikini. After awhile, she got out & walked over near my lounger, facing the other way. I could only see her delicious thighs, and took all my might to not reach out and stroke them!

She went to the far side of the pool. I got in the pool, doing a few strong laps with flip turns. When I got out to lay back down, she was watching, and returned to the hot tub, facing me again. I went over to the hot tub, which wasn't running, and asked her if she didn't like bubbles? 'Don't know where the switch is." Looking around it was between a senior couple, who seemed surprised as I walked over to switch the tub jets on.

Returning to the tub and sitting not far from her, we started chatting, including her saying, "great speedo suit & it sure suits you." i was starting to bone up; she leaned forward, stroking the water with her left hand but landing on my thigh (we were faced away from the rest of the pool deck). I was definitely getting there, but she said she had to get her family packed up for their flight, but disappointed shed didn't have more time! And then she left -- Walking away with a fine ass!
