My Speedo Origin Story

First and foremost I should say that my spandex fetish is pretty specific for speedos. I have no idea why I've latched onto speedos and not other spandex like leggings, thongs, zentai, or whatever, but this is what I'm interested in. The first definitive memory I have being aroused by a speedo was when I was 13 or so and my father had gotten a running catalog- Road Runner Sports- and the catalog had a triathlon page with several pictures of guys in Hind brand speedos. I remember lying on the couch flipping through, hitting that page, and INSTANTLY getting very aroused. I just HAD to sneak that catalog upstairs and I masturbated to those guys in their speedos- I remember it just clicking in ways that nothing else did. So any time my dad would get a Road Runner catalog, I'd sneak it into my little stash of porn mags. During my middle school years and high school I had a chance to acquire a few speedos- they were still commonly sold in stores then- and especially after I started driving. They certainly supplemented- though didn’t yet dominate- my sexual behavior. At the end of high school, I threw out whatever suits I had collected before moving away to go to college (it was probably 3-4 suits then) thinking I’d start fresh and turn a new page without speedos in my life. But it wasn’t long before I started thinking about them again and with the newfound freedom of living far away from home and independently, I really started to collect speedos. I got a mailbox at a third party mailbox store, and I got swim catalogs (Speedo, Tyr, various swim shops across the U.S., the gay-themed catalog called “International Male” and its sister publication called “Undergear”) delivered to that mailbox. The catalogs themselves- chock full of guys in speedos, of course- were fantastic masturbation material, and they had the added benefit of being a source for me to order speedos from. By the end of four years of college I think I’d collected 15 speedos, maybe? Just thinking about a trip to that mailbox place to get a box full of brand new speedos gets me aroused all these years later. I'm sure by the end of college I purged my collection once again in a fit of shame over the fetish. There were a couple of years after college and I honestly don’t remember what my speedo situation was then… I’m pretty sure I had some suits, but I don’t remember how many. Then I went to graduate school, and it was the same thing- speedos definitely came and went through the rotation, but I don’t think I ever had more than a few at a time, and by this time the internet was a thing so I masturbated a lot to suits that I saw for sale on eBay. Occasionally I’d buy one, and occasionally I’d “purge” and throw a bunch out, but nothing really sticks out very distinctly. During 20’s I had my first serious girlfriends, and honestly the thrill and novelty of having sex with a woman frequently made me think a lot less about speedos. I had a collection of them for sure, but I’m sure I’d go weeks or months between masturbating in one. By the time I reached my 30's I think I'd accepted that being attracted to speedos was just part of who I am, and I've had an always-rotating hoard of speedos ever since (now in my 40's). During that time I got married and we had a kid, and for a long time in our marriage, speedos didn't play a very big part, but as we've gotten older her sex drive has diminished and I've started working from home, so my speedo fetish has come back full force. I've got almost 50 suits, I'm always cruising eBay (I get off just looking at speedos and imagining myself wearing one) or Tumblr, Reddit, IG, and now here to masturbate to photos of guys in speedos... I don't even really look at porn any more. I'm usually a hair trigger away from adding another suit to the collection. :) Anyways, that's the story (broadly). I enjoy talking to you guys about fetishes and especially speedos. Glad this place is here.

Great story, how does your wife feel about your speedo obsession?

Great speedo story about just how erotic and powerful spandex or speedos can be and just how addictive it is to us spandex lovers 😀 My exact scenario as your sexy pleasure is wrestling singlets 🙌🙌👌👌💦💦💦

She knows I wear speedos to lap swim in and is present when I wear them to the beach, but I’m fairly certain she has no idea how central they are to my sexual life. I’m afraid to talk to her about it because she’s not really a fan of speedos, even though she’s begrudgingly come to accept that I wear them.
