What to see in Valencia, Valencia Blog

Recently, a major Internet retail market did a survey and discovered that sales of Speedo type swimsuits had risen a ton from last year. You know, the much maligned budgie-smugglers sometimes known as banana hammocks. There was a 400% percent increase in the number of searches for the term “Speedo” in e-shops studied. What? After reading this news, I started worrying: may we soon suffer the Apocalypse? 400% more British men have taken to buy a swimsuit so revealing that a casual observer can “detect the religion “of the wearer?

To make sure that my paranoia was not based on my own eccentricity or the result of growing up in the U.S. (where wear a Speedo not only ensures ostracism for you, but also for all your family) I asked a German work-mate. “It seems that the sale of Speedos has risen a lot since last year,” She replied “Ick. That’s scary. I hope we don’t see the increase here! “Men’s bodies can be very attractive to me but no matter how handsome a guy is, if he wears a Speedo, um, no thanks. Luckily we’re not in France, where the use of the “slip” is required by law in public pools.

I understand that we’re not looking for the male equivalent of a burquini: obviously, the swimsuits must be used to swim. And this is how my father, a lifelong swimmer, hairier than the vast majority of pets, defended his use of the Speedo. As a child, his practical and comfortable sportswear meant that none of the other kids at the neighbourhood pool would talk to me, and I spent endless summers talking to myself, reading and drawing. I haven’t set foot in a public swimming pool for over 15 years. However, I don’t shy away from hot springs or beaches, especially nude ones, where there is no danger of seeing someone in a Speedo.

In brief, it’s not what we when we go to the beach, but what we feel-the breeze, the sun and the delicate kiss of water. The best option to avoid sartorial problems? It’s simple, go to a nude beach.
