For the last few years we have created the “Swim Brief Challenge.” The purpose of the challenge is to get more guys to wear swim briefs at the beach and pool. It doesn’t matter if you’re gay, straight or bi. It matters you want to wear something amazing out and about. I have heard from many straight guys who really want to rock the swim brief. Due to family, society and more, they do shorts or even worse board shorts.

This year we will be bringing back “Swimwear Sunday.” Where we will profile a pair of swimwear each Sunday. The vast majority of them will be briefs. We occasionally will share shorts but never board shorts! This feature will start the first weekend in April and continue till the end of August.

We want to know if you take the challenge this year. Many of our readers, myself included, have worn them on the beach before. But this is for the guys who are man enough to put on the brief and say “I love swim briefs and damn it I don’t care who knows!” The more guys willing to do this the more guys will say “Fuck it, let’s rock the briefs.

If you take the challenge let us know! We want to hear where you wore them. Was it swim brief friendly? How you felt wearing them. Were there others wearing briefs or was it just you? After your experience why other guys would wear them. You can email us or reach out on social!

There is one other area we are going to include. Swim Thongs! We have a lot of you talking about swim thongs. Some of you already wear briefs and want to take swimwear to the next level. And there are some of you who love thongs so much you want to skip over the briefs all together and go with you style of choice. No matter which you wear, we want to hear from you!

Lastly, we will be sharing posts of guys wearing them over the summer. Those of us on the staff who have worn them and some of our readers. So stay tuned.

“Fundies” = Fun Undies and while we suspect that most aficionados of fashion underwear are well under the age of 50, it’s a safe bet that it’s not the entire market segment. Some of us who marked our fifth decade are still wild about high-quality and sexy underwear — and often have the disposable income to build up a fun and diverse collection. The biggest questions are: why and how?

First the “why” — the knee-jerk response is the snarky, “Why not?” The more thoughtful answer is is this: our bodies are getting older we can’t do everything we used to be able to, our looks are changing, and comfort is a little harder to come by. Why not counter all of that with a lovely pair of well-fitting, stylish, comfortable, and sexy underwear? It’s an easy, relatively inexpensive, and personal way to counter some of the challenges of aging. For me, it makes getting dressed in the morning an adventure and a last look in the mirror before the outer layer goes on a moment of, “damn — I’m looking good for an old guy!”

Seriously — saying goodbye to our youthful good looks and trim bodies can be hard, even depressing — but a little pampering goes a long way. I’ve found that I’m way more selective about fabrics than I used to be. I like a pair of underwear, usually briefs, that are soft, colorful, flattering, and well-fitting.

Here’s the “how” — Find a pair that fully covers your butt, doesn’t ride up, and cradles your package the way you want. Be a little adventurous and test out a pair that has a nice pouch — Andrew Christian, C-IN2, and N2N do a great job with full backs and generous pouches. Some guys are going to want a little less room in a pouch and want a pair that provides lots of support and contour. Try Calvin Klein and 2XIST. Regardless of the styling — be brave and wander away from white, black, and gray — red, blue, yellow, prints, and patterns are just plain fun! Go for it!

Recapture your youth from the inside out!

Last week we asked you guys about your preferences when it comes to the jockstrap. You guys had some great feedback on what you like and don’t like in Jocks. Over 100 of your guys filled out our quick survey. Which is a great response from a quick survey. We asked a variety of questions and here are the results

60% of you guys wear jocks on a regular basis.

One surprising answer was that almost 30% of our straight readers wear jocks. That is much higher than I thought it would be.

Most guys wear them occasionally or 2-5 times a week. Meaning most guys don’t wear them as their main style.

Most guys wear fashion jocks. As you can see by a wide margin. Few wear the traditional jocks. (Note could answer more than one response).

The three biggest times you guys wear jocks are Working Out, to Work and on Dates. I was not expecting the number for work to be so high.

Feedback from Guys Who Love Jocks

• Feels sexy and minimal and comfortable love Andrew Christian and Hom
• I love how the pouch holds everything in place and how the leg straps are tight against my skin so that I can feel it all day.
• Minimal coverage. Great pouches. Straps frame my ass. Love the feel of fabric on my skin. Sexy as hell!
• They provide the most support while having minimal material. Keeps me cool throughout the day. Cocksox, 2xist, ft troff, timoteo, go software are all great.

Feedback from Guys Who Don’t Love Jocks. 

• Feel exposed and forced to wear in school.
• Leg straps usually aren’t comfortable. Also waist band tends to show in back.
• A lot of the pouches are flatter than thongs and not as comfortable.
• I think that jocks are uncomfortable. Perhaps as a fashion statement, but compression shorts are far more comfortable in active situations. Since Bike has been discontinued, I am not alone in this opinion.
• While I’m a huge underwear fan, when it comes to jocks, not so much. I own a few but seldom if ever wear them. Don’t know why that is. Although I don’t enjoy wearing them, I sure love seeing them on another guy. I think guys look very masculine in them.

We will have more surveys soon. Our next one maybe about thongs! Stay tuned!
