IMG_20150716_150424800When did you first discover your love of undies?

Growing up as a kid I always wore the tighty-whiteys.  They were cheap and got the job done and I really didn’t care all that much.  The middle school locker room was the first time I ever saw that guys wore something other than white briefs.  Granted, they all mostly wore boxers, but there was a couple who wore different colored briefs (which I really never even knew existed until then) and a couple of guys who wore bikini briefs.  It was then that wanted to, at the very least, branch out from the typical white briefs.  Through constant experimentation with different styles, cuts, and colors through high school and college was when I realized that I had a bit of an underwear fetish and loved to look to see what everyone else wore.  Now, because I love underwear so much, I am picky about whom I date because ill judge him based on what underwear he wears.  Thankfully, I found a guy who I have influenced to wear some pretty amazing stuff now.  J

What style was your favorite when you started to love underwear (boxer brief, brief, jock, thong or etc)

I went through different phases in my life with what I liked to wear.  I first branched out with the bikini birefs in middle school and high school.  When I went to college, I had the mindset that I needed to “butch it up a tad” and wore mostly boxer briefs.  Towards the end of college when I had my own place I went back to bikinis.  When I joined the Marine Corps, I went back to boxer briefs temporarily until then wearing a mixture of trunks, bikinis, briefs, and the occasional thong.  I also started working out a lot at the gym while in the military and always wore jockstraps while working out.

When you bought you first pair of underwear what brand and style was it?

Although I was nervous buying new underwear since I considered it a private matter of sorts, I bought a generic 6-pack of different colored bikini briefs.  For some reason I cant remember the name of the brand, but I know its not still around today.  It was then that I knew I could never wear the boring white briefs ever again.

What influenced your underwear buying habits when you first started your passion (catalogues, internet or friends)

Without a doubt, the internet influenced me the most.  When I was in my teens and logged into AOL, I would love searching different clothing stores for what type of underwear they sold.  I never bought anything online until I had moved out of my parents house because I didn’t want them knowing that I was looking at guys in their underwear online all the time.

Are there any brands you had to have when you started buying?  Did you ever get a pair?

The first brand name I can remember really wanting to buy in the early 2000’s was 2xist.  At the time, I considered them the sexiest underwear you could buy.  I ended up buying 2 pairs of their pima cotton boxer briefs in black.  That was the first time I ever had anything that wasn’t 100% normal cotton, and I loved it.

Did your first pair still influence the styles you wear today?

Of course, it made me want to try even more different fabrics to see how they felt.

What is your favorite style today?

My drawers (all 3 of them) consist of about 70% briefs and bikinis, 15% boxer briefs and trunks, and 15% jocks and thongs.  A totally separate drawer is full of swimsuits, but that’s a different story.

Who are you favorite brands now?

Nowadays, I am really liking some of the Australian brands out there, especially cocksox, teamm8, and funky trunks.  Also, I love the cuts and colors of N2N, junk underjeans and Pump.  But honestly, if I see anything that catches my eye in terms of color, style, pattern, or anything else, regardless of the brand, then ill probably wear it.

UnderLoverWear-0991It starts a bit awkward. It feels a bit weird. It is definitely a new situation.  And then you laugh.

That’s how it was in the first 15 minutes of a photoshoot put on by Handsome Pictures (Instagram: handsome.pictures
). I had known the photographer for years and for as long as I’ve known him, he’s known my underwear obsession. So he approached me a little while ago about doing a shoot, “of all of your underwear”. Well, all of it was going to be out of the question but of a small portion, SURE!

Now for everyone who has ever looked at your own body in the mirror. You know that there are times that you feel really good about it and times that, well, you don’t. If you had asked me early this year I would have told you I felt GREAT. We’re talking, swim thong in the hot tub in Whistler for Gay Ski Days great. But by the time that the shoot came around in May…not so much.

UnderLoverWear-1792

Still, the shoot was scheduled and I really did want to have a good time. I stuffed a bag full, FULL, of different underwear. I did diverse brands, different cuts, colors, materials, all of it. I could barely zip the bag closed and I was off! That bag contained some of my most favorite pairs; blue and orange assless briefs from Timoteo, a deep red jockstrap from Obviously, hot pink briefs from Garcon Model, my N2N Y-thong sailor striped briefs from CoxSocks and much more.

We got all set up for the first of three locations and I went to get changed. I nervously walked out of the bathroom.  Realizing what would follow would be a saga of sucking in, angling, and trying to smile. For the first few clicks of the camera I was stiff and both the photographer and I knew it. And then, he made me laugh. I can’t remember the line or joke but I just laughed out loud and *click* there was the first, good photo.

UnderLoverWear-0935

In that moment I recalled that feeling uncomfortable is in direct contrast to the cornerstone of loving undies. And then, the photo shoot was on. I arched, smirked, twisted, and had a great time.

We went out into the woods and did another section, my favorite section. Being in inspiring underwear surrounded by nature is the most natural feelings there is. By the time he said we should go to the more “product shots” I didn’t want to go in but reluctantly followed.

The shoot finished with a black backdrop for shots of just the underwear. The finished product would look like a shots you’d see on a seller’s page. The lights were hot, the camera was close and it was still fun.

UnderLoverWear-1541

Want to know the worst part of the entire thing? Waiting for the finished products. Yet, when they came, I couldn’t believe it. So many of the photos caught the essence of how underwear should make you feel. I looked elated in them. I looked comfortable in them. I looked sexy in them. And for having felt so…not great… about my body at the time. I smile every time I look at those photos and am so grateful for Handsome Pictures for capturing it all, one click at a time.

HOM-plume-string-black-front-1When did you first discover your love of undies?
In the 80’s as a teenager – loved the very skimpy styles that were fashionable then and probably like most guys used to like looking at the catalogues with guys in their underwear – no internet then!!
What style was you favorite when you started to love underwear (boxer brief, brief, jock, thong or etc)
Loved very skimpy briefs from the outset – tanga style were very fashionable and readily available back then. Also bikini brief style Never really liked boxers, have always been a briefs man!
When you bought you first pair of underwear what brand and style was it?
I honestly cant remember! But I do remember going on a first holiday and going to Selfridges in Oxford Street and buying the smallest pair of string bikini swimming trunks – they were really tiny and I loved them! In fact I think I bought two pairs, one black and one bright red and I still love red underwear now!
What influenced your underwear buying habits when you first started your passion (catalogues, internet or friends)
Hope this doesn’t sound too odd but my older brother wore very brief underwear – I used to like trying his underwear no when he wasn’t around. Catalogues too were an influence.
Are there any brands you had to have when you started buying?  Did you ever get a pair?
Right from the outset I loved HOM – string bikinis and their Fredy g strings look so good I think when I first started buying gstrings, Fredy were the ones I bought first (red of course and from Selfridges!)
Did your first pair still influence the styles you wear today?
Yes – have always like the very skimpy styles and although older now I still like and have a number of gstrings, thongs and small pouch briefs that are reminiscent of HOM styles. Love the HOM Plume gstrings!
What is your favorite style today?
I like all different styles but probably tiny pouch brief. Over the past few years I’ve really got to like jocks, and have quite a few pairs of the backless brief/jock style
Who are you favorite brands now?
Still really like HOM, Andrew Christian, don’t have any Joe Snyder but I think they are hot. An annoyance is that a lot of the brands like Joe Snyder don’t make larger sizes for the larger guy – such a shame!

11745711_932798146762811_1178238690085193131_nUndies Monday is all about feeling great and sexy. It doesn’t have to be a pair of thongs or a jock. Its feeling sexy in what ever you love! That’s the point, to start the week in something to brighten your day.

One pair that is perfect for the Trunk/Boxer Brief love is the PUMP! Underwear Touchdown in Blue Steele. You maybe asking what’s so sexy about this pair? First off, did you see the picture? I could go “I rest my case” and drop the mic. However, that’s not how we do things here at UNB!

The pair is made out of a Navy Mesh fabric. It’s not the totally see through mesh but more of a sports mesh. It will show off just enough without being over the top. The pouch on the pair is made out of cotton fabric. So you won’t be showing off all the goods. Piping on the pair is in white so it will contrast the Navy very well.

The waist band and leg bands are super hot to me. I am a fan of waistbands and love the PUMP blue logo in baby blue. The leg openings remind me of an athletic stripe in athletic gear. Its just great to see how they tied this all together.

This pair is sexy and classic at the same time. You don’t have to wear skimpy undies to feel sexy. Undies Monday, as we have said is all about feeling sexy in what ever you want to get a great start to the week! The PUMP! Touchdown In Steele Blue is available at the PUMP! Site for $34

When did you first discover your love of undies?

I discovered my love for undies when I was around 13/ 14. A very interesting time in my life, I was making more art but in a more serious manner, Coming to terms that I was Bisexual (well back then I just knew I liked boys and girls), as well as exploring what I would later in life consider to be fun colourful and sexy undies.

What style was you favorite when you started to love underwear (boxer brief, brief, jock, thong or etc)?

At first I was in love with boxer briefs. The main reason I thought boxers or briefs were the only choices for men/ boys (how silly of me to learn in many years later how truly foolish the idea of gender roles truly are).  However when I explored more in my life with undies…I’m loving thongs and boy shorts. The main reason it’s a tie between these two

When you bought you first pair of underwear what brand and style was it?

I bought my first pair of underwear when I was 16 (roughly when I started working) It was a pair of Hanes Bikini. As I’m sure many have experienced…the butterflies in your stomach as you look aimlessly at countless packages with men so sculpted on them that they put statues to shame. As far as brand went, I had always trusted Hanes. This made it a more comfortable transition from traditional to….new!

What influenced your underwear buying habits when you first started your passion (catalogues, internet or friends)?

I was more influenced by catalogues ( I wasn’t lucky enough to have the internet when I was younger), just the way the male and female models looked was amazing. Then again…money did play a big part, most times I couldn’t afford the styles that I loved so more often then not, I had to buy what I could afford.

 Are there any brands you had to have when you started buying?  Did you ever get a pair?

There are a few (I don’t think those companies are still around) However I did happen to get a few pairs (maybe not the best way) some were on sale, others were given to me. Mind you, most of the super sexy undies I received were from women.

Did your first pair still influence the styles you wear today?

I would say so, My undies are tighter and sexier (I feel). With my first pair being boxer briefs…not very hard
to beat something like that. A true story, Don’t get me wrong I do love wearing both boxers and briefs but they are more my lazy day go too undies.

What is your favorite style today?

My top undies are thong, cheeky, and boy shorts. Mind you Cheeky and Boy Shorts are pretty much the same thing< just a bit of differance in the amount of fabric. Anywho, I like them because of the fact that you still cet the comfort and coverage in the front and…a little showing off of the bum (Cheeky more so than Boy Shorts). Thong, Who doesn’t love a sexy secret?

Who are you favorite brands now?

My favourite brands are a large range so rather than sit here and type out a  long and wordy list of brands but…I’ll do my top favourites and hope all are happy with that. Hanes, CandyMan, ManPower, Boy Rio, Timmys Secret, Ergo Wear. Like I said I don’t want to give away all my hidden brand Gems.

Vampire Strippers PosterWhat happens when Magic Mike meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Its the movie Vampire Strippers Must Die! Which looks like a lot of fun. We got the new trailer and press release this week. We hope to interview a few of the guys in the movie. Here is the press release ”

A new trailer has been released today for Vampire Strippers Must Die!, a hilarious and sexy horror-comedy set to star America’s Next Top Model’s Bryant Wood and underwear supermodel Pablo Hernandez, in their first feature film acting roles. The script for the film previously won the New York LGBT Film Fest’s Screenwriting competition in 2010.

Set to go into production in November 2015, the wacky comedy by award-winning filmmaker Keith Hartman follows a group of American male strippers on tour in Eastern Europe faced with having to battle the undead. With fantastic dance numbers, jaw-dropping epic fight scenes, fun plot twists, and funny, yet memorable character moments, Vampire Strippers Must Die! will feature more hot boys than you can shake a stick at, and then some. The film will also star famous fitness model John Suazo, and other exciting new talent.

While the men of Chippendales perform in London, Paris and Milan, the men of Overnight Male are stuck playing low rent dive bars in Bulgaria. After six weeks on tour, everyone is getting just a teeny bit cranky. The straight strippers and gay strippers are ready to kill each other, and the only thing holding the band of American male strippers together is their geeky and resourceful tour manager, Jake. No matter what Eastern Europe throws at them, Jake’s been able to handle it, whether it’s been aggressive fans, thieving bar owners, broken buses, or even the occasional need for bail money. Vampires, though, are a new one.

Vampire Strippers Must Die! will feature a lonely vampire hunter who has never gotten over his high school boyfriend. A female vampire who has been in a bad relationship for 300 years, before finally discovering the small screen wisdom of Dr. Phil. And a pair of twin brothers who strip together but compete over everything.

Hartman’s previous two films, You Should Meet My Son! and Real Heroes, have earned “Best Picture” awards at nine film festivals, as well as “Best Director,” “Best Screenplay,” and several “Best Actor” awards for members of the cast.

The trailer is being released as part of the film’s Indiegogo campaign, which is seeking to raise $125,000 in production funds in 30 days. A successful campaign will give Hartman the resources for an ideal 18-day shoot, which will allow them to shoot all of the stunts, fight scenes and dance numbers to make this film as fresh and as exciting as possible.

Those interested in learning more about the film can visit the official Vampire Strippers Must Die! page at www.VampireStrippersMustDie.com.

When did you first discover your love of undies?

It was some time during my adolescence, I think! You know when you get to that stage in your life that you need to find your own style, your own dress code. I was very frustrated at my y-fronts at that time and wanted to find something more sexy and a lot more interesting! I wanted to start putting my own style together from inside out and… the love of undies have just started to form!

What style was you favorite when you started to love underwear (boxer brief, brief, jock, thong or etc.)

I was a big fan of briefs in the beginning. I found them really flattering for my type of body and loved the way they fit me.  I was a very “classic” type still and black was by far my favourite colour!

When you bought you first pair of underwear what brand and style was it?

I will never forget that day! I was in Milan with friends and went to the shops specifically to find a really nice pair of underwear. It was a pair of briefs by Roberto Cavalli. Very simple… all black… very elegant. That was a long long time ago and I still have it! It is in my “happy memories” drawer!

What influenced your underwear buying habits when you first started your passion (catalogues, internet or friends)

In the beginning it was mostly friends. We used to talk about clothes and underwear was a big part of it. It was mainly though what we could find in shops at home or other places we happen to visit. The Internet later on really opened my eyes!

Are there any brands you had to have when you started buying?  Did you ever get a pair?

No, I cannot say there were. I got into the “habit” of buying literally every pair I liked. Sometimes I didn’t have money to take the bus back home but at least I had a very nice, new, pair of undies!

Did your first pair still influence the styles you wear today?

Today, no, not really, but it did influence my style for a very long time. I was a big fan of classic cut briefs for quite some time but then, when I started discovering alternative cuts, I was drawn into all types of underwear. Something different, like a cut I haven’t seen before, or an innovative combination of colours or fabrics, now certainly fascinates me more.

What is your favorite style today?

Would you believe it if I told you that I don’t have one anymore? LOL I think that every cut serves a purpose in a man’s outfit. I love wearing a pair of briefs if I go out running, a pair of boxer-briefs for the gym, a nice thong or jock when I am in a sexy mood and something very creative under a suit.

Who are your favorite brands now?

It is hard to tell and as an underwear blogger I probably shouldn’t tell. LOL There are certain brands I am really looking forward to see their next collections and others that keep on amaze me with their creativity. My biggest passion though is discovering new brands. I believe the next “best thing” in the underwear industry will come from them. Lets leave it there! LOL

Ethan is the editor of Men and Underwear blog. Make sure you check it out!

RunnersOne of the biggest trends in the world of men’s gear is spandex. In the last few years singlets have been some of the most popular gear on the market. No longer a piece of clothing wrestlers wear on the mat. It is now worn for athletic and erotic purposes. This love has spurred even more gear.

The latest are runners. You maybe asking what the hell are runners? They go by many names including leggings, running tights and spandex pants. Usually are full length to the ankle but could also be just below the knee. This style has been around since the 80’s and were very popular. In the 90’s and early 2000’s they fell out of style with the public.

In the last few years many runners have taken these up for running in colder weather. Also UnderArmour and Skins have been produced many types of these for sports and working out. These performance pairs are expensive and are designed for serious working out. But that hasn’t stopped the popularity of them. Just check out Tumblr, they have tons of blogs for each brand!

Why is the popularity increasing for these? Guys I think are feeling more confident and want to show off their worked out bodies. This goes for gay and straight. Many of the runners are straight.

Now brands are starting to produce these for fashion. Just as singlets they are not for just athletic activities any more. One of the earliest to produce them has been N2N Bodywear. Just like singlets, runners for them have come in both workout and erotic wear.

Here are some examples:


Unknown-5Rufskin Lief –  Not so basic running tights available in various color combinations to compliment our latest athletic collection

Unknown-6Rufskin MaxGlow  – Three-quarter length running tights are sure to demand attention with a graphic red, white & blue print

Unknown-7Rufskin Ricky – Full length workout tights made from poly-spandex “super mesh” that forms to every muscle while remaining breathable and comfortable

R30-15-FullN2N Bodywear USA Runners – N2N’s newest sport runner. Body-hugging design. Snug ankle bands, elastic waist and draw cord

TT2-15-FullN2N Bodywear TriTech Runner – Active runners with a built in pouch. Made of recycled PED.

R8-11-3N2N Bodywear Sheer Skin runner – If you like runners and you are somewhat of an exhibitionist; our Sheer Skin Runner is the perfect choice. Our pouch-less, long legged uber low ride design coupled with the sheer butt cleavage element make this one sexy workout or party outfit.

pump-micromesh-jocks

The new collection of jockstraps from Canadian designer PUMP! has landed at Jockstrap Central – with all the awesome styling, expert craftsmanship and big bold colors you’d expect from PUMP! but this round of jockstrap designs come with their own air conditioning in the form of a sexy and sleek micro-mesh pouch that will not only keep the air flowing when you get all hot and sweaty but the spandex ensures the jocks show off your bulge to perfection!

As with all PUMP! creations, don’t think it’s all style and no substance – they’re ultra-comfortable with double stitching, modern fabrics, super-plushed and extra soft wide elasticated waistbands including some of the softest leg straps we’ve ever encountered. Here’s the details:

As mentioned, the pouch is a perforated hi-tech fabric of nylon, cotton and spandex and although not overly see-through, they’re see-through enough to tease what lies beneath. The pouches are contoured for comfort and fit and include verticle stitching and piped edging – both help in defining the bulge. They also all include a full two inch wide plushed waistband woven with a front PUMP! logo, smaller off-center logo in the back with horizontal racing stripes. Finally, the leg straps are one inch wide and as we mentioned, incredibly soft.

Whether it’s at the gym, the office, lounging at home or on a hot date, you’re going to love wearing these affordable low rise jocks with their streamlined hi-tech design. There are six new styles so be sure to collect them all.

Finally, Jockstrap Central’s unbelievaly cute and sexy model Matt is back (because their customers begged them for it) putting all the new PUMP! jocks through their paces – and boy do these jocks show off that beautiful package of his. Be sure to visit their website to check him out.

UndiesHave you ever wanted to hear about how other guys found their love of underwear? You sometimes hear it online when you meet someone but for the most part you never hear, for the lack of better words, their origin story. We reached out to some of our readers to share how they discovered the love of underwear.

Each guy got a series of 8 questions. They all answered them and sent them back. Some included self pics and others didn’t. Not all guys are up for putting themselves in undies all over the net! We respect that and wanted them to share their passion.

The guys are gay, bi and straight. Some of them are younger and others are older. They come from all walks of life. Its a good cross section of our readers. You will get some insight on others and see how your own story matches each guys.

One thing amazed me is that there were a lot of similarities in the answers to the questions. It was great to read. We hope you will enjoy this series this week! Each day a new guys post will go up.

There is no shame in loving underwearI have been running UNB for almost 7 years. It started as a way for me to share my love of undies with the world. Did I think It would catch on and become what it is today? Never in my wildest dreams. Even to this day I will meet people who love underwear and mention I run UNB and they tell me how much they love the site. This is awesome because believe it or not I still have times when I feel like I’m putting all this out there for me. I forget that there are thousands who read it.

Over the journey I have met gay, bi and straight guys. The love of underwear is universal and we all share a bond regardless of our sexuality. There also is a bit of shame with a love of underwear. I think it’s because underwear is so personal to us. Its exposing our deep down likes and passion. Revealing that is never easy. But in the whole scheme of things in the world of likes and fetishes underwear is pretty tame!

This is the other universal of underwear. Guys of all sexual orientations aren’t open about their love. Yes, some of us are open on Twitter and other social networks. Where we can be behind a screen name and remain mainly anonymous. In real life with our friends, lovers and significant others sometimes we hide the love. Why do we do that?

Is there shame in wearing underwear to make us feel great? Women don’t seem to have this problem. They have tons of different underwear from every day pairs to sexy lingerie. It’s a given that they will wear different kinds of underwear. Whereas guys are stuck with boxers or tighty whities. Why shouldn’t guys have the same options to wear amazing and sexy underwear?

So Why do guys have this need to hide their love of underwear? I have a few reasons after years of experience with this.

Guys don’t want to be judged – As I stated above underwear is personal and we choose who we share it with. Everyone who reads UNB has something different they love in underwear. This could be mesh, spandex, bikinis, colors/prints or more. Nothing worse than taking off your pants and have a person go “what are you wearing?’ and then laughing. There should be no shame in what we like.

Not Societally Accepted – For the longest time guys were to be wearing boxers. Everyone wore them and if you wore something different then you were strange. You often hear, “A real man wouldn’t be caught dead in a bikini/thong.” Like these is something wrong with either pair. Also guys don’t talk to other guys about underwear. It’s a taboo topic

Our Partners don’t get it or like it – I have a friend who loves underwear and thongs. But when he has dated the people he dates never get his underwear. So he changes his underwear and keeps that part hidden. Hiding a major part of you is never good for a relationship. So many of us do what he’s done and keep the underwear for personal time.  Rather than incorporation it with our partners.

These reasons are all guys regardless of sexual orientation. So what can we do about this? Well, we can’t cause a societal shift over night (as much as I would like). We can take small steps in that direction.

Find guys who share your love – This may sound like a DUH tip. But it really is empowering to have a friend who you can talk about underwear. It could be new stuff, favorites we have and trends happening. It also doesn’t have to be limited to the same sexual orientation. Some of the straight guys I have met through UNB are massive underwear fans. I really enjoy getting a different perspective from the guys.

If someones asks about your underwear be honest. If a friend or someone sees you have something different, maybe a pair of 2EROS or Andrew Christian. Just say I like comfortable underwear and prefer a style and cut. Don’t grab it and shove it in your pocket and hope they won’t ask. We have had a few readers this happened too and they got their friend to try better underwear!

Be honest with your partner – Tell them your love of underwear. How it makes you feel on a daily basis and how you can incorporate it into your sex life as well. Let’s face it we are wearing great undies and we want it seen at some point and to get busy. Get them involved with what you buy and take their opinion in to consideration. Relationships are give and take so introduce them slowly into undies!

Its time we bring undies out into the open. Some of you out there this doesn’t apply too. You are open post pics on Twitter with face and share your opinion. But those who are still keeping it hidden remember you are not alone and guys out there share this same thing.

Connect with us on social media to continue the conversation. Follow the UNB Twitter, UNB Facebook or UNB Instagram!

Model Profile (1)Many of you guys have Seen Logan Swiecki-Taylor over the years. He’s been the “face” of Rufskin for the past few years. I have known him for a few years and he’s an amazing guy. He sat down with us to answer a few quick questions so you guys can get to know him a bit better!

What was your first modeling job and how did you come to get it?

Well my first 100% legit, super, awesome, great job was Rufskin. They found me though Facebook almost 4 years ago.

10357720_864012980279778_6713148876512985819_oWhat made you want to pursue modeling?

I was more or less put into it because of one of my mothers hair dressers when I was younger “hes so cute he should model”, All the castings I went to never were fruitfull till I was out of college.

Do you have a shoot that you consider your breakthrough in your career?

I did a bunch of test shoots in Greece which helped me build a deccent “book” which led to Rufskin discovering me.

11817199_10207409476613929_711299748099802020_nWhich shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Rufskin, Rufskin, Rufskin! No other group or photographer has been able to share, create, and capture the energy that they do!

Which shoot has been your most challenging?  

With the team that Rufskin has there is no such thing as a “challenge”.

10257581_841343929213350_7099201618281977213_oAre there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Never really though about it… Maybe someone or something along the lines of action and extreme sports (jumping out of a plane on fire while naked type stuff)

What is something our readers don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?

I’m hella shy but an all round nice guy once my shells cracked.

What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Its not so much preparing for shoots… My lifestyle/passion is anything fitness related the side effects result in looking good naked. I’m Paleo-ish, love fruits, veggies, meat, and seafood. It boils down to eating REAL food thats minimally processed. Good in = Good out.

IMG_8104Favorite cheat meal?

I scream you scream we all scream for ICE CREAM

Were you a fan of underwear before modeling?

No and I still enjoy comando!

Looking at your underwear drawer, what is it made up of?

The craziest pair of underwear you have ever worn?

Le Sac by Rufskin which has been recreated and is now Asusa. Nice pouch for your man bits to just hang out in. (pictured Above)

What are your goals for your career?

Ive never set any goals for my modeling, I’ve always just “gone with the flow bro”. It’s gotten me this far and I’m happy. In the end as long as I’m happy thats all that needs to be planned for.

What is the best advice anyone gave you when you started your modeling career?

Don’t get your hopes up, its a cut-throat industry… but don’t give up. Everyone knows someone else use that to your advantage.

Screenshot (32)It’s summer, the sun is out (yeah, even in Seattle), the waves are rolling, and the beach is calling. And calling. And calling. Pick up the phone already!

So, now you’ve decided to go to the beach or pool and it is time to pick out a swim suit. Maybe you have one or two, maybe you have 5. And with swim suits more so than with underwear the different between styles is huge. Loose and baggy seems too frat-house. Perhaps short shorts is a good way to go. Speedos are fun but where is our confidence level now…

I want to tell you, get the suit that you WANT that you think will give you a pep in your beach walking step. If one catches your eye online and you start thinking that maybe it’s going to be too revealing or worry about how your belly will respond (I think that often) forget those thoughts! We all want to look good but in the end we all NEED to feel good. Go for it.

Have I always listen to this advice? Nope. I own a grey and orange swim thong that I have worn only outside of the US and I need to just wear it, because I want to. Yet, this summer when it came time to skip down to the beach. I did wear a new floral Timoteos speedo, it’s tiny and tight and I love it. I feel great and I am not currently in my best shape.

Speedo cuts aren’t for everyone and that’s fine. They shouldn’t be. If you don’t feel comfortable in them, don’t force it. I own a couple of super cute short shorts. Like my white and mint Sauvage pair and they are just as cute as any slicked tight suit I own. And they have their place in my drawer and on any beach I choose.

Don’t hide in suits that you think you SHOULD wear, be out there in the suits you WANT to wear. Cocksox is out with a new line of suits and if they are anything like some of their underwear…be prepared to be bold. Timoteos has some extremely cute suits out, so do N2N, Sauvage, and many more.

I like to wear whatever fancies me that day, which is why I own a variety of suits. When I want to get out and get a cute tan line and have my booty pop a bit, yeah, I jump into my speedo. It just fits the mood of the day and that’s exactly what it should do. When I was a bit of a “cute and flirty” look that is more effortless to wear, I pull out my mint trunks. They are so easy to wear. So easy to never have to think about while I’m wearing them (one speedo needs some constant adjustment in the dernier region). And when I kind of want to shock those around me and be a bit of a spectacle, I pull out the thong. Even when it is just my friends in a hot tub in Whistler, it’s fun. Swim suits aren’t one size fits all. They aren’t one suit fits all moods, it all comes down to you and what you want, when.

I’ve been out to the beach a lot this summer (yeah, in Seattle, we’re heating up over here). I know what I love most about it all…my swim suit tan line, a semi lasting impression of the fun I had at water’s edge in a great suit.

That’s how one would describe the new Nasty Pig REF brief and jockstrap. These 94% Modal, 6% Spandex pairs are in the traditional Nasty Pig vein and will cross over for anyone who has not ever counted themselves as a NP fan. The hard stripes give great lines for even the smallest of bulges, where the eye is naturally drawn. Thick pouch lines boarder and emphasis the center piece as well.

In two classic NP colors, black or red, these pairs look to be winners. With a solid waist band and classic hog logo lending a bold feel these pairs are in charge, without a doubt. Priced competitively at $29 this pair will go well with anyone’s existing collection. So whether you want a covered bum with the Nasty Pig Ref Briefs or you want a nice lift (and easy access 😉 ) with the Ref Jockstrap NP has you covered…or parts of you.
