We wrap up our Reader Survey Coverage! I know it seemed like it would go on forever. But we have reached the last few questions. They mainly focus on real guys and the blog
We asked you guys should we feature guys of all shapes and sizes on the blog. An overwhelming amount said that we should do that, 77%. I was pleased to see that only 6% said no. I think we def need to do more of real guys on the blog.
Then we asked what you want to see from real guys. You guys want guys to write Brief Talks where they talk about their favorite style and why they love it. Followed by Brief Distractions featuring real guys., followed by Brief Tales to tell how they fell in love with underwear. Only about half of you want interviews with real guys.
Now this is am important chart. We asked would you guys be willing to participate in writing one of the posts above or submitting pics. 37% said yes and only 24% said no. 37% of you said maybe, and we hope we can convince you maybes to participate. It’s very important for you guys to participate and help us do this!
Almost half of you guys feel there should be a social media site just for underwear. Many sites like Facebook and Instagram really slam guys posting underwear pics. You can’t have a big bulge, VPL, thongs/jocks from the back, and the list goes on. It’s something we have been thinking about here.
We always ask what models you want to see. We planned on relaunching more shoots this year, but due to COVID-19 we have had to cut back and hope we can do a Holiday shoot, but time will tell. But you guys want to see a mix of real, up and coming and professional. I totally agree we do need a mix. When we first started our shoots we had more average, less model guys and we got slammed for having guys with less definition and builds. I thought it was an amazing shoot, but we got some push back. Now, I don’t think we would have those issues, we just need guys willing to do shoots!
Lastly, we asked which types of reviews you want. Video, written, or both. You guys want both. Written reviews are easy to do, but video reviews are a bit more complicated. Due to the editing, sound, and such. But we started them and plan on doing more soon. Andrew is still around to do them but we want to find one or two more guys to do them since it needs a little more lead time.
Ok guys, I hope you enjoyed these posts. I plan on creating a lot of posts from these results so stay tuned.

International Jock’s line Rick Majors has just released a new line, the Rip Stop line. This line gives me such a retro vibe. Back in the day, there were silk pairs that looked just like this! I had several pairs, and sure there is one or two buried in a drawer somewhere.
As you can see, the fabric doesn’t have a lot of give. It’s a very stiff fabric but designed in such a way that it creates a pouch and feels amazing on. This may sound contradictory from me, the lover of ergo pouches and spandex blends. But the feel of the silky fabric will make you feel amazing. Trust me!
One thing that I really love is the bodysuit. It’s super sexy. The other styles are jocks, bikinis, thongs, and shorts. This line is a lot of fun. Here is what they say about the brief and the line
You’ve never, ever worn a brief like this before. Truly unique, it’s made from a sleek ripstop nylon that’s both shiny and transparent. It features a center-seamed pouch and a yoke in back, gathered elastic at the waist and leg openings, and a discreet Rick Majors logo. Also used in parachutes, tents and hot air balloons, ripstop nylon is feather-light and soft with a silky hand feel, yet super durable and tough. It’s water repellent and extremely resistant to rips and tears, thanks to sturdy nylon threads interwoven right into the fabric in a crosshatch pattern. Sexy, shiny and silky!
Check out the entire Rick Majors Rip Stop collection at International Jock.

This year we are doing a deep dive into the reader survey results like never before. Today we are showing where you guys have worn swim thongs, briefs, shorts, and more. It’s interesting to see where you guys feel comfy wearing skimpier styles.
Public Pool
This one is not so surprising to me. you guys have worn swim briefs at public pools but not so much with the swim thongs. You guys are a little more “conservative”
Public Lake
You guys are not big fans of lakes. I will admit I’m not either but it’s def the land of swim shorts. But I have seen the boys on IG boating in swimbriefs.
Beach
You guys seem to be bolder at the beach. Swim briefs reign supreme but the swim thong is growing! Currently, 15% of you guys rock the thong.
Private Resort
Private resorts get guys to be more free in their choices. A large majority of guys will wear the swim briefs but resorts also give guys confidence to wear a swim thong. About 30% of guys rock a swim thong when at a resort.
Private Pool
Private pools are where we are most bold and it allows us to wear what we want. More guys will wear swim briefs and thongs. This is because we are around guys who are like minded and enjoy wearing the same things.
Private Sunbathing
We love tan lines! When we layout in private we want either a bikini or thong tan line. I have the philosophy you always tan in a smaller suit than you wear so you don’t have a tan line peaking out.
Tanning Booth
Tanning booths are where you guys wear the most thongs. I think this is because it’s the most private place you can be, and we feel free to strip down without judgement and scorn from angry side eyes.
We will have more results this week.
Today’s results are all about swimwear. We are entering the swimwear season, even with COVID-19. We are going to be creative about wearing swimwear. Here are our Results
One thing we ask have you worn a swim brief and where. You guys really are rocking the swim briefs in public and private. More and more guys are feeling comfortable, including the straight guys.
Next are swim thongs. We have asked how many of you have worn a thong. Almost 40% of you guys have worn them and another 30% haven’t but do want to wear one. Only about 30% don’t want to wear them. And that’s ok, the whole point of UNB is wearing what you want!
We asked the question of what swimwear are you going to wear this year. It is about what you are wearing by yourself, with family, friends, and in any situation this year. Majority of you will be wearing swim briefs and almost a tie with swim shorts and thongs.
Then we asked what are you planning to buy this year. Swim briefs are top of your list. Followed by swim thongs that barely edged out Swim trunks. You guys are embracing who the smaller cut swim suits.
We asked how many pairs of swimwear you were planning to buy this year. This was pre-COVID-19. This may have changed with us being limited on where we can wear them this year. You guys plan on buying 1-3 pairs of swimwear this year.
This is a look at swimwear we will have more tomorrow.
I know the pouch is super important to you guys. It is to me as well! I fall into that category I need a bigger pouch that fits well and gives ample support throughout the day. Many of you expressed this in our reader survey. A smaller pouch is something we hate.
One brand that has entered the larger pouch arena is Xtremen. I know many of you are thinking, “Xtremen? They just do boxer briefs, I want something more form fitting and smaller.” You would be right a few years ago but now they have expanded into briefs, jocks, and thongs. Yes, you heard me right. Xtremen has come into their own these past few years making more diverse pairs that guys are loving.
There are several new pairs that have the new larger pouch.

Before we get in to what influences you guys we have two last things to finish up with! The first or issues you have with undies, the second is do you wear more than one pair of undies a day.
The top issue you guys have is Sizing issues. followed by Labels/Tags. These two seem to constantly switch first place. Followed by pouch too big and pricing. It’s always interesting to see what is bothering you this year!
Almost a third of you wear more than one pair a day. A little over a third is a maybe, meaning they may wear more than one pair, which I should have changed to sometimes. And a third of you say you don’t. Here are some of the answers
| after gym |
| After the gym, I switch into a new pair of underwear. |
| After yard work out sweaty work. |
| Different activities |
| Different pairs for work, gym, home |
| different pairs for working out vs. normal wear |
| Different pairs to work, sleep, gym |
| Exercise |
| Fresh pair for the gym, Fresh pair for rest of the day. |
| Freshness |
| Gym |
| Gym |
| I change my underwear every time I change cloth or finish workout |
| I do sports once a day so I change undies after |
| I wear 1 pair of underwear to work and change after work. |
| If i.go out at. Night |
| If I’ve been exercising or sometimes I fancy a change |
| na |
| On days I go to the gym, I always put on a fresh pair after showering. |
| One for work and one for home |
| Only if I’ve had to shower or there’s a certain reason for a pair |
| start off in thong after shower and then eventually change into bikini/brief/trunk for bed |
| Support for work comfort for home |
| Sweat |
| Usually determined by heat or sweating concerns |
| Usually I choose mine by whats going on like work, going out, tanning day,pool parties. |
| When I go to the Gym. |
| When i take a shower during daytime |
| Working out, change for something more appropriate to my apparel |
There will be more tomorrow
Wear something fun during this uncertain time. This bright pink thong from Sukrew is something bright and amazing.
Today we break out what factors you look for in undies. It’s a long question so we will spread it out over two days. But here is the first part.
How important is the fabric to your undies choice? It’s very important. Almost 50% say it’s very important.
The cut of the underwear is even more important over 60% said so. I totally agree with you guys. It’s one of my top reasons.
There is nothing wrong with a bad fitting pair of underwear. Almost 70% of you agree. If it loses its shape I’m done!
I find that most of you love a good pouch. There are issues with it being too big or too small. The important thing is finding the brand that fits you best. Which is not easily found. It’s a lot of trail and error.
Sizing issues are always an issue. The important thing is to see how the brand fits. Does it run smaller, or larger. When in doubt it usually runs smaller. But if you ever have any questions, let us know we can give you advice.
Lastly is the style. I know many are picky about what they love. Which, is a good thing. When you have a style you love, you want to stick with it, such as a bikini, thong or jock. Wear what makes you feel amazing and sexy.

Today we focus on favorite styles and colors. They are two of the most important factors in underwear. We all have a favorite style, but that’s not all we wear. I know we have readers who only wear thongs, jocks, or briefs. But, there are many who wear many different styles depending on your mood.
We asked what is your favorite style to go to, there was only once choice. So this was the question where you tell us your go to pair. The one that is in top of your underwear drawer. Here are the results in order of popularity.
This one you may have to enlarge. However, we were curious about which pairs you wear in general. The blue line is never and the orange is always wear. You guys pretty much wear jocks, bikinis, briefs, and thongs. You really don’t like to wear boxer briefs, trunks, and jock briefs.
The last question for today is your favorite colors of underwear. We let you pick several different colors. Going forward we need to add a few new colors like Camo, Animal print, and more. I think we need to break out some more types of prints. The top colors are:
We will have more on Friday, tomorrow we will have a new episode of the UNB Podcast.

N2N Bodywear is known for making things over the top! The latest collection is the Ultra Sheer Tights. These are similar to the ones they have made earlier this year, but with one big difference is the sheer fabric. I could definitely see you guys rocking this with a pink thong under it.
The tights you can wear as is or mix with a thong! However, these are not ones you will wear the gym. Well, any gym I know! But it wouldn’t be N2N without something fun in this (like the mesh isn’t fun enough), like the phone pocket! The tights come in black or white. Note that the black are a lot more see-through than the whites.
With everything going on it’s time to have some fun gear! These are definitely fun and I would wear them for some personal work outs at home! But that’s just me.

Tell our readers about you:
My name is Matt and i’m a 39 year old gay male from PA who has been happily partnered to the same goofball for 14 years now. We are extremely opposite in the underwear department, he is a 3 pack hanes boxer brief kind of guy and I have a new package of thongs, jocks and fun briefs arriving in the mail at least once a month! The hubby likes to tease me in front of some of our closer friends about my obsessive underwear fetish and shopping addiction, and overstuffed dresser drawers of undies but I have become very comfortable with it in recent years & I welcome the attention. In recent years I have also started sporting speedos around close friends and public beaches and have gotten more comfortable in my own skin the older I get.
When did you first discover underwear?
I probably first discovered underwear when I was 14 or so. I remember going “back to school” shopping with the fam and seeing a 2xist y-back thong that I shamefully stole at the time as I was too embarrassed to ask my parents to buy and was before I had a job and could drive and buy my own things. I also remember the first time an International Male catalog came in the mail around the same time period and flipping thru all underwear and swim suits, it made for good “material” back then as the internet was just evolving, and any porn site on dial up modem took forever just to download pictures let alone videos lol. I also would flip thru Mens Exercise magazines gawking at all the muscle guys in their posing straps and short shorts :p
What was the first pair of good underwear you bought? What made you buy that pair?
God so hard to remember but I think one of the first pairs I can remember buying on my own was n2n titan jock & thong with the snapping pouch. So hot and still have both to this day! I got the thong in black and the jock in beige. I think the erotic design made be gravitate to them. I am a HUGE fan of having sex while wearing underwear, and these were perfect for that wether you are a top of bottom ;p
How did this first pair influence your journey into the world of men’s underwear?
Very early on I met an underwear bud in an aol chat room back in the 90’s who was big into spandex and told me about spandexguys.com I have not been on that site or posted in years but I started trying more and more spandex/lycra brands like joe snyder, n2n, & malepower at the time.
What are your current favorite styles? What style do you wear most?
I am mainly a brief guy for every day wear but do wear jocks a good bit too. My thong pics on IG seem to be some of the most liked but I actually own fewer thongs and wear them less than any other type except for boxer briefs. I think I own like 4 pair of boxer briefs and rarely wear them. Calvin Klein and 2xist are some of my go to basic every day briefs. The steel micro hip brief Calvins are one of my favs, so comfy.
What are some of your favorite pairs in your underwear drawer?
Right now I am a huge fan of Andrew Christian’s Massive collection. I love all the fun prints, fabrics and anatomical pouch. The buck buddy print is my favorite for now. I’m really digging Skull & Bones right now too. I only have their jocks and have yet to try some briefs but they are on my shopping list. I’m a huge fan of Nasty Pigs jocks and singlets, the look and persona of the brand is hot to me. Have quite a few snout caps too.
Are you open to friends or partners about your love of underwear? If you have a partner do they encourage your love of underwear?
The hubby is well aware of my underwear fetish and enjoys it very much. I don’t really talk about my love of underwear with most friends but there are always those few close gays friends who somehow know everything about you ;p
Has wearing great underwear boosted your confidence?
Underwear is all about how it makes you feel. I tend to feel confident no matter what kind of underwear I’m wearing. I think confidence comes more in your body than the underwear but I definitely like to keep things exciting and fun with my underwear choices and love always feeling sexy with fun undies
