This week, we saw the end of an era when Andrew Christian announced the end of an era in underwear. Andrew Christian announced that he would be stepping away from his brand to focus on his next chapter. Although this was not a surprise to me, it came as a shock.
When Andrew burst onto the underwear scene, he was a “gay” brand and had no shame about it. He embraced being different and putting his spin on underwear. And this continues to this day; he always took risks in design, color, and fabric. He was one of the first brands to be unapologetically gay, which led to other brands entering the market and finding their place in a crowded space.
Being a gay brand didn’t come without controversy over the last 20-plus years. I remember when the Car Wash video came out, and people were upset that he had porn stars in the video and it was “explicit.” Let’s be real: underwear is about feeling sexy and fun, and these ads (that kept coming and continued) brought attention to the brand. He also used many gay porn stars and influencers in his photography and videos. He had a regular group of models who worked with him regularly. We interviewed many of them over the years.
To throw my two cents in the convo, many of the pairs that Andrew created were sometimes over the top and many times minimal or blogtastic. He was never going to get regular models to wear these designs for pictures, and having porn stars and guys willing to show off made it easier for him to put pics out. He also created calendars each year, which were included with the purchase of several pairs until just recently. It was a staple for many men and something they eagerly anticipated each year. Whether you liked it or not, it got you talking about the brand. He accomplished his goal.
He also had issues with body-inclusive designs. Several videos were criticized for their content. One had a bigger guy coming to the model search, and the judges jeered. He would be called out by many guys, including those of all sizes; he eventually developed lines for larger guys. However, by this time, other brands catering to larger individuals had entered the market, and many of them didn’t purchase it.
One thing that I know many of you didn’t like but was remarkable was his book at the end of the first Trump administration. The book was titled “Sex Power Freedom. “This book was released in 2017. It was to empower the LGBT+ community and fight against the discrimination we face. I have two copies: the Silver one that was on sale through the site and the gold one that was only given away. We even gave one away on the site. These are now collector’s items!
One big thing I heard was the quality of the underwear. When he first started, if memory serves me correctly, he made it all in LA. However, after his sudden rise in popularity, he had to outsource the production overseas, causing many of his team members to move on to other brands. This was a valid criticism, but to scale up so rapidly, it was necessary to adjust to meet demand. All the pairs I had were good, not as good as those early pairs, but not horrible either.
Another thing he excelled in was the pouch. He made one of my top 5 pouches, the Almost Naked pouch. The Trophy Boy was a little too big (and was suitable for about 95% of the population; if you can fill that out, I tip my cap to you). Ever since I tried this pouch, I’ve been in love. It wasn’t a tight, ergonomic pouch, but one that allowed you to hang naturally. If he does close, I will have to find another one to replace this on my top 5 list, which is annoying because pouches are the most critical thing to me when it comes to underwear. This pair was like Goldilocks; it wasn’t too big or too small. It was just right.
I have received numerous messages from men who got their start with Andrew Christian, and the brand was the one that brought them into the world of underwear, making them feel like they belonged. It was a brand that was unashamedly gay, and they thought they could express themselves fully. Many have moved on from AC and gone to other brands, but it holds a special place in their hearts. Love AC or hate him, he deserves a place in the Underwear Hall of Fame for all he did to get more guys to care about their underwear. I have so much I want to include here, but this post would be too long; I hope this makes sense and allows you to look back and reflect on your journey with Andrew Christian.
In the latest episode of Brief Talk After Dark, UNB Tim dives deep into the shiny, stretchy world of spandex with special guest Ryan, also known online as The Dapper Doberman. A proud spandex aficionado and collector based in Ontario, Ryan shares his journey into gear, fetishwear, and the thriving underground community that embraces it all.
From childhood fascinations with superheroes and Saturday morning cartoons to nervously purchasing his first Speedo in a department store, Ryan recounts his earliest memories of discovering his love for spandex. Like many gear lovers, he shares the familiar narrative of exploring his identity in secret, sneaking time online to research this mysterious, shiny material and navigating the challenges of purchasing and hiding gear from parents.
What makes Ryan stand out in the spandex community is his extensive collection of rare Olympic gear. He’s personally messaged hundreds of athletes to acquire authentic suits—bobsled, luge, speed skating—you name it. His passion is both in the gear itself and the “thrill of the hunt,” as he describes reaching out and building a unique, often irreplaceable collection.
But it’s not just about the sleek looks or exclusivity—Ryan and Tim bond over how empowering spandex can feel. They reminisce about the early days of gear obsession, the excitement of trying it on for the first time, and how confidence can grow through embracing self-expression in gear. Ryan also dives into his love for “gaudy gear”—bold colors, tacky patterns, and 80s-inspired prints that turn heads and spark nostalgia.
They also discuss how spandex still exists in a sort of kink limbo. Often overlooked or underrepresented at traditional fetish events, spandex isn’t always taken seriously. But Ryan sees that changing, especially with brands like Amoresy, Strap Metal, and MR S Leather beginning to embrace more flashy, fetish-friendly styles. He also drops tips for finding custom prints and working with independent creators, championing a more inclusive and creative gear culture.
The conversation touches on everything from cosplay suits to collegiate wrestling singlets, from thrift store hacks to why more guys need to stop worrying about judgment and just wear what makes them feel good.
This episode is more than just a gear talk—it’s a love letter to self-discovery, expression, and community. Whether you’re a seasoned spandex lover or just curious about what makes the gear community tick, Ryan’s candid stories and UNB Tim’s infectious enthusiasm make for a compelling listen.
Listen now on your favorite podcast platform and follow Ryan (@dapperdoberman) to see his incredible collection come to life. And don’t forget—this week, wear your spandex at least one day. You’ve earned it.

We all know that N2N Bodywear makes some of the sexiest swimwear. Swimwear that pushes the envelope and. puts it all out there. Their new pair the Tikini X, is one that leaves very little to the imagination. The Tikini X is a pair of swimwear that is made of mesh. That means, when it gets wet, you will be showing off all your goods. Make sure you wear it at the appropriate beaches and pools.

Whether you’re strutting through the streets or dancing under the disco ball, this collection is built to shine, accentuate, and celebrate queer joy — loud and proud.
Let’s dive into the standouts in this must-have lineup:
Designed for the bold, the brave, and the bootyful. This jock is all about showcasing what you’ve got. With cutouts and leg straps that draw the eye to all the right places, and a glittering rainbow chevron foil, this piece radiates confidence. It’s not just a jock — it’s a megaphone for your manhood.

Harness your inner queer superhero. This one’s convertible — bulldog or full-body — with tension sliders to sculpt your fit to perfection. Whether you’re walking in the sun or dancing under club lights, this piece delivers function, fashion, and fierce. And yes, it matches perfectly with every other item in the line.
Too shy for a jock? No worries. This sexy brief gives you all the vibes with a little more fabric. Cutouts and leg straps serve up jock-style flirtation, while the supportive pouch leaves no bulge behind. Equal parts modest and mouthwatering, it’s a total vibe.
Go big or go homo — this thong is for the guys who get it. With BREEDWELL’s most popular pouch up front and cheeky exposure in the back, this piece was made to flaunt what you’re packing. And that rainbow foil? Just icing on your cake.
Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest statement. These rainbow-detailed armbands give a nod to your top, bottom, or verse energy (or all three). Whether you’re new to Breedwell or an OG, these are a perfect accessory to complete your look.
Top off your Pride fit with the only cap you’ll need all season. The 3D rainbow logo in front and classic branding on the back say it all — wear it forward when you’re giving dom top energy, and turn it back when it’s time to serve sub realness.
Knee-high and full of attitude, these socks scream “PRIDE MOTHAFUCKER” from the soles. With a snug fit and vibrant rainbow band, they’re perfect for parading, partying, or any position you find yourself in.
Subtle, sexy, and gym-ready. This black tank with rainbow trim gives you just enough skin to tease while keeping it wearable year-round. Match it with anything in the line or rock it solo — this tank does all the heavy lifting.
