Guess I won't ever go swimming in France

[theoldwolf]

Guys, do you care to swim in a public pool in France? Be prepared to show off your junk to the whole world.

"For reasons of hygiene," say the French, baggy trunks are disallowed - because they could harbor health-damaging contaminants. Only Speedos are permitted.

"Oui, et ta sœur?" says I. I'd eat uni before I'd get into a French pool if that's the case. Maybe I'd feel differently if... well, uh... oh, hqiz, never mind.

Hey, Speedos don't show off your junk. They may give people a fair idea of the size compared to trunks, but they still leave something to the imagination.

Anyway, it's a country of topless beaches....

How about visiting a German sauna? ;-) You're expected to wear your birthday suit and only bring a towel to sit on.

Been there, done that, and bought that T-shirt. Finnish ones too - aboard a finnish merchant marine vessel. Somehow, Saunas don't bother me. Especially since they're gender-specific.

So I guess this isn't religious discrimination after all.

I was going to post this too haha I guess it's a crazy french thing after all :-P

Seems they brought the article up in response to the UK water park banning the 'ole Budgie-Smugglers. The English don't like Sluggos at their pool!

Not that I'm for it either, boardies all the way for me
