Becks sexy in Speedos

DAVID Beckham has done the impossible — and made Speedo-style swimming trunks sexy.

After the England captain was seen wearing them on holiday in the south of France, 61 per cent of women said they found the skin-tight gear a turn-on — if they are worn by the right man.

Other stars including actors Matt Le Blanc, 37, Harrison Ford, 63, and Mel Gibson, 49, and rocker Rod Stewart, 60, also like to wear them.

But it was Real Madrid midfielder Becks, 30, posing in a brown £120 Dolce & Gabbana costume that re-kindled an interest in them.

The survey found 34 per cent of people said it was alright to wear them to get a tan.

But 25 per cent felt they should only be worn for a bet or joke.[/quote]

What do the female PHers think?

Is it ever ok for us blokes to get away with speedos or does it have to be shorts every time (even if you do end up with a very dodgy looking tan)

I'd have a white bum to a lycra bulge any day.

Sorry but speedos should be banned.

There is such a fine line between looking "Becks" and looking like a

Well, if you have a physique like Mark Foster, then I'd say yes, definitely!





See www.markfoster.co.uk/ for more great shots of the swimmer.

For those not so well blessed, then shorts could be a safer option. For serious swimming Speedos are a must. For serious posing, well that would depend on a lot of things

God you lot are PATHETIC (yes, especially you Mrs Knee!), stop slavering over perfect male specimens and get back to your perfectly normal (if a little overweight in your case Mrs Knee) hunks you're attached to!

Tch, estrogen-overload!

due to the French rules at swimming pools I have recently seen 20 of my PH mates in speedos. They should be banned with immediate effect

The French are indeed bloody odd when it comes to this

They'll even rent you a nice pair if you haven't got your own. How that's better than wearing shorts is beyond me

I don't get on well with the shorts; I have never felt comfortable in them.

I wear my trunks, and if all the girls want to admire my magnificent body so be it.

Shorts...always shorts.

I've always thought that even if one did have an amazing body (not that I haven't, of course! ), wearing speedos would make you look like a complete tw@ who was more into himself than anything or anyone else and showing off 'Look what an amazing body I've got'...which I was under the impression made most girls hated...
