Speedos are a make of swimming costume. The ones for males are very tight and show the outline of the male genitals clearly (male bulge). This makes them a fetish object for some females and gay males. They come in a range of colours.
Some men are embarrassed by wearing Speedos, particularly in public. Thus they may be used as a tool of humiliation . Pink ones may be particularly embarrassing, because being flesh-coloured they are less noticeable and the wearer may at a casual glance look nude.
Being tight, Speedos may exert pressure on the male genitals, which men may find stimulating. They or their partner may enjoy massaging the bulge.
The term may be used generically to refer to tight swimming briefs of any make.
