Christine! Probably a great shortcoming of e-communication is its inability of detect the 'nature' of the message. That's why all these stupid gggg's and LOL's have to be inserted by for-real adults? I can never conceive of myself being offended by 'ageism!' But it probably sounded as if could - and did. On the Speedo topic. I lived through a, I believe quite pivotal, period of cultural preandpro/scriptions. As a youth, men had no genitals. A fact. Absolutely no genitals at all. And, even for women, there was a hooded mystery. I believe the name of the book was "And Now Victoria", something very close to that at least. There was a passage where 'he' delighted in fondling 'her' mound of venus. JESUS IN HEAVEN! I had the page dog-eared, and used to refer to it for mental stimulation at unscheduled moments. Now, on radio (I have virtually no access to television) they really go into descriptions and relationships with 'the hooded wood' and such. (I believe Clinton should have resigned after he allowed the dick to be brought into national, global, prominence. Not for that fact, but because of the maniacal stupidity of it. I went off on this on your thread the beginning of this year, I believe. It knocked me out for at least a week - the stupidity, or defiance, or superman aspects of the thing.) Anyway, I had three boys into competitive swimming. Speedo is part of the game. The practice of wearing the log upwards, across the belly, took years to overcome the practice of just keeping it as a bulge in the groin area. Wow! I am ranting. At least the third time in two days! Could it be that I need to talk with someone? Poor george! Anyway, I don't think that Speedos emphasize anything even comparable to what bikinis emphasize. The former being almost exhibitionism, the latter a natural provocative undertaking. Bye, I think my bearings have scrambled. g.
