When someone gives you a gift, you can't turn it down.

Tyler learned this the hard way, when his friend got him a pair of striped speedos for his birthday.

He had to wear them when they went to the beach to celebrate his birthday, foregoing his usual boardies. To make things worse, his friend had stuck to his usual dresscode, leaving him the only guy in speedos at a crowded beach.

They had a tradition. Whenever they had water activities, be it a pool party or just a beach day, someone HAD to be in speedos.

The speedo boy would then have to go about the day like normal, except he wouldn't have a pair of his shorts to hide under... Everything would be on public display.

Before heading to the pool party, the One-Speedo-Rule was invoked, and Alec was the lucky "winner".

He had to wear a pair of skimpy speedos, while his friends were all decked out in their swimshorts. He had to wear a pair of sunglasses to cover his embarrassment, even though he acted like he was cool with it.

Roman is a betting man. He lost the bet, and now he has to wear speedos for the day.

When his bandmate suggested that the loser would have to wear a pair of speedos... He agreed to it not realizing that the speedos were to be worn at their upcoming gig.

He only wished that it was a no-photography event, as his fans posted many photographs on the internet.

By the third missed ferry and the second lost backpack, the boys had stopped pretending this was going to be a “luxury island getaway.”

Ethan had packed six matching swim trunks for the trip — tasteful navy stripes, tropical prints, even one pair with tiny anchors on them. But somewhere between Bangkok, a suspicious speedboat transfer, and a hostel with very relaxed security standards, his luggage vanished into the universe.

The only thing left in the beach town shop that fit him was a blazing red Speedo hanging sadly beside snorkel masks and novelty postcards.

“Absolutely not,” he’d said.

“Absolutely yes,” said Marcus, already paying for it.

So now, while his friends posed like they were starring in a travel magazine, Ethan stood knee-deep in the surf wearing the world’s most aggressively confident swimsuit, attracting the attention of every tourist within a hundred metres.

Oddly enough, by day three he had become completely unstoppable.

Free drinks. Better tan lines. Two marriage proposals from Swedish backpackers.

The others eventually admitted it:

The red Speedo wasn’t a disaster.

It was a lifestyle.

"Dad, can I put on some clothes first like my brother?"

"Son, your little brother is in the soccer team but you're in the swim team. You both need to be in your sporting attire for this picture!"

"The true mark of confidence is wearing a pair of white speedos while your friends opt for shorts." - Oscar Wilde

A speedo boy poses confidently between two of his buddies... Even though he isn't the best looking stud amongst the three, when it comes to swimsuit season... He KNOWS he has everyone's attention!
