There are not the kind of posts I like to share. Scott Barnes who did a shoot for us back in 2012 featuring Baskit, N2N Bodywear and 2(X)ist using models Ken and Michael. A post was shared on his Facebook page that he passed away on September 9th. It was a shock, at first, I thought it was a joke but after reading I found out it was not. You can see the obituary at the Windy City Times. Thank you, Scott, for an amazing shoot, it’s a shame we never did another one.

There is a new web series UNB guys need to know about. It’s called My Naked Kitchen. Don’t worry it’s not naked people, but guys in awesome underwear cooking amazing things. It’s right up our alley!

We got to chat with Ed, the master mind of underwear clad men cooking!

How did you come up with the concept for My Naked Kitchen?

I already had a cooking show on Youtube (starring my Mother!) which has now ended, and I wanted to create another show that I thought would be very popular and since we all know that showing off a mans body and his ASSets sells, I thought I would start a show where attractive guys make yummy food in their underwear.

Do you cook main courses, sides or desserts? Is it like a baking edition of My Naked Kitchen?

Anything goes as far as what the guys make, so yes, main courses, sides, and desserts (including baking). We try and do recipes that are more on the healthy side since part of the concept of the show is to promote health and fitness. Most of the recipes the guys make are really amazing and taste incredible.

What has been the initial reaction from viewers? Are they cooking the recipes?

The initial reaction has been awesome. The show continues to gain followers and subscribers and is growing really well in a short period of time. Some viewers are cooking the recipes, but I have to admit that it appears at the moment most people are watching and following to see the hot guys.

Speaking of recipes, these are hot guys in amazing underwear, but they can cook too! How has it been finding guys to be on the show?

Yes,the guys and underwear are pretty amazing. Some guys reach out to us to be on the show and some I’ve contacted on various social media sites. But surprisingly it has been a little more challenging than I thought it would be to get guys to be on the show. A lot of them are fine with photos but are not so comfortable being in front of the camera. However, once they actually commit and see how much fun it is, they love it. And I’m not so bad to work with either. lol.

If a guy thinks he has the cooking skills and looks great in underwear, how would he submit himself to cook on My Naked Kitchen?

He can reach out to me on Instagram @mynakedkitchen or send me an email at naked@mynakedkitchen.com. We are always looking for new guys, and they don’t have to have cooking skills…just look good in underwear, have a personality and be comfortable in front of the camera. We can give them something simple to make.

You are based out of Toronto and have filmed the shows there, have you ever thought about taking it on the road?

Absolutely. In fact, we have shot some shows in the LA area and planned to go back there in November for a couple of weeks. So any of your readers in southern California who would like to be on the show, let us know. We are open to other cities as well and hope to eventually travel all over the world with the show.

You have to have plenty of out takes. What has been the funniest thing that has happened filming an episode of My Naked Kitchen? (You can leave out names to protect the innocent).

From stuff dropping on the floor to blenders exploding and guys screwing up their lines, there have been so many. We include some of the best outtakes at the end of some of the episodes.

Who are some of the guys you have had on the show, well besides Simon (which we have shared)?

Our biggest name so far is Brent Everett (the porn star) who did a couple of episodes for us. His first episode came out a few weeks ago and the second one comes out this week!

We also just shot a couple of porn stars from Montreal…Manuel Skye and Mick Stallone. Some of our other favorites are Jeci@jeciwould and Eric@ericcommando from LA. Eric has a big following on Youtube. Then there’s Jason Caceres, an adorable actor also from LA. In Toronto, we’ve also had some hot models on the show like @basilhendy. But I want your readers to know; you don’t have to be a porn star, actor or model to be on the show!

Where can readers find the current and new episodes of My Naked Kitchen?

We post teasers every week on Instagram @mynakedkitchen and the episodes come out on Youtube www.youtube.com/mynakedkitchen on Thursdays. You can also find all the episodes on our website www.mynakedkitchen.com

Before we go, do you have a big name, in the fitness or acting world, you would love to have on the show?

I’m always reaching out to guys on Instagram and Facebook that I would love to have on the show. But honestly, it’s not so much about a big name (even though that would certainly help us get followers)It’s more about the look and personality. I love to push the envelope and think outside of the box, so we’re open to experimenting with different ideas. In fact, in a future episode, we are shooting a drag queen from New Jersey who is crazy hot and sexy in and out of drag. That should be a lot of fun. And we are always open to collaborating with guys who want to promote themselves and what they do.

Hi guys, UNB Ryan here-ready to jump in and introduce myself to everyone. I am also very excited to hear from each of you through email and comments on the site. For the quick intro, I live in Northeastern North Carolina, about as rural as you can get.  I am a straight married man with two kids and three small dogs. My wife and I have just sent our daughter off to college, so I will have some extra time on my hands now. Finding underwear and swimwear presents quite a challenge, but finding somewhere to wear it is another story altogether. I’ll start off by explaining how I came to love underwear and swimwear, talk a bit more about what types of things I like, and finish up with some of the prejudices I have faced through wearing minimal swimwear in public.

First of all, let me start by saying I LOVE THONGS! Both as underwear and swimwear, I wear thongs almost exclusively and look for any opportunity to browse and buy new ones. That being said I am not opposed to trying new styles of underwear and most recently bought a pair of Joe Snyder Bulge Bikinis in black lace that I was really unsure about.

I first discovered my interest in thongs in my early twenties. I bought a couple at a Fredericks of Hollywood store in a local mall probably back in the late 90s. I loved how they looked and felt, even with the less than optimal sizing and color options. My first wife, however, did not care for them AT ALL and ridiculed me for wearing them. I felt so belittled by the reaction that I completely stopped wearing them around her and really put it in the back of my mind for a few years. I occasionally pulled them out and wore them when I felt I could do so without arousing any attention from her but in the end resorted to wearing the 100% cotton boxer shorts that all “normal” men are supposed to wear.

Fast forward to a few years later after meeting my current wife. After some awkward jokes about man thongs on a beach vacation, I explained to her that I had worn some thongs in the past and enjoyed them. She suggested that we buy some more and I quickly jumped at the opportunity. We were able to find some speedo brand Swim thongs in a local beach store that I tried to wear out the first summer we were together. We frequently visited the beach together, and I was in that black speedo thong for every visit.

I was able to expand and bought various thong underwear and swimwear that I incorporated into my wardrobe. My wife supports my habit and accompanies me on multiple beach trips throughout the year. I now have a drawer full of thong Swim and underwear that I wear on a daily basis. I am thankful to have someone who supports, or at a minimum puts up with my love for underwear and swimwear!

To talk a bit about what kinds of things I like, I’ll obviously start with thongs.  I love thongs, and typically the smaller, the better. I enjoy wearing thong bikinis on the beach or to the pool whenever I can, and also wear them as much as possible when doing things around the house like washing our cars or doing yard work. I love the skimpy thongs and g-strings with tiny straps. The brightly colored suits are my favorite, and I especially like how pink suits look against a summer tan!

Some of my favorite swimwear designers include Arroyman and Jovana Design. I love the tiny tan lines I get from their micro, barely there designs. I also like some of the older Dore designs, and while Dore’s predecessor (Beach-n-Dance) is doing an outstanding job, I have been partial to the designers that offer suits with ¼” sides for tanning. This year I have started wearing some suits with wider straps such as Joe Snyder and Beachndance styles. I feel more comfortable wearing these when in more public settings and don’t worry that I’m going to offend anyone or get into any trouble wearing them around other people.

As far as underwear goes, I like thongs vs. g-strings and wear a lot of cheeky styles. I am most comfortable wearing styles with a wider back instead of some of the tighter styles I might wear when sunbathing. I like a lot of brands such as Cover Male and Daniel Alexander and am open to suggestions! I don’t mind the wider straps or sides on the underwear that I’m not going to wear outdoors to sunbathe in. I have a few pairs of either cheeky boxer or bikini styles that I wear on occasion.

Over time I have had a few people to find out I wear thongs. Mainly family, but a few friends as well.  Most have been indifferent to my choice of underwear, but I have had a few that have ridiculed me concerning my choices. Quite obviously my first wife was very negative about my underwear choices. I have also had a few friends that have found out by accident who didn’t really say anything directly to me about it.

Wearing thong swimwear has been another story altogether. I have heard dozens of negative and positive comments. When wearing thongs on the beach, I try to steer clear of the tourist destinations and head to the less populated beaches. When I have visited the more public beaches in the past I’ve obviously heard the “you’re gonna get sunburnt” or “is he wearing anything at all” comments and have been pretty fortunate not to be harassed on the beach by anyone concerned my swimwear choices. I have had a couple of instances where someone on the beach asked me (in a very sarcastic tone) where I got that suit because “they wanted to buy one” for themselves. Yeah, right-like you’d have the balls to wear it…whatever. I simply either ignore their comments or tell them to go to Wings. I have met some other guys on the beach who wear thongs or other minimal swimwear who complemented me on my swimwear and asked what brand I was wearing or where they could get some. I enjoy the positive interactions and try to ignore the rest.

In closing, I look forward to writing for UNB and hearing from you with any questions or comments you may have. If you have an experience wearing a thong, whether it be privately in your home, on a public beach, or maybe even to the doctor share it with me either in the comments below or through an email. I will be doing some articles in the future about where you can wear thongs, how do deal with negative impacts, and how you can be a positive image of male thong wearers on the beach. If you have any suggestions of things you’d like to hear me talk about drop me a line!

Welcome back, Simon. When we last talked. You were traveling in a male dance show. How did you like that experience?

It was fun. I’ve never done the traveling stripper thing so it was an experience I was curious about. I had a good time, the other dancers were cool shit, and the ladies fucken loved me (of course) haha. I was a bit let down by the owner, he put ZERO effort into adverti
sing for the events and over-bookes the tour. Literally, no downtown between traveling to the shows and the shows themselves and none of the venues we’re anywhere near sold out. All in all, though I’m still happy about the experience.

You are going to be on a few Episodes of My Naked Kitchen. How did this come about?

This came as a result of some networking from the Jockstrap Central shoot. Those guys absolutely loved me, which led to the designer of one of the jocks I wore in that shoot wanting to do another product shoot with me. He knows the man behind My Naked Kitchen, and of course, once would traveled of my awesomeness, he wanted a piece of this action as well haha.

Did you have any reservations to strip down and try on a few jocks to cook?

Not at all. I’m still not really a huge fan of jocks, but ya gotta give the people what they want! Lol

What jock did you end up cooking in?

I cooked in two pairs from Raw Studio, and one pair of PUMP.

Since you are cooking in jocks, have you always cooked? What’s your favorite thing to cook

I love cooking and am naturally pretty good at it. I don’t usually follow recipes I just throw shit together and 98% of the time it turns out fan-fucken-tastic. I’d have to say my favourite meal to cook would be large sea scallops wrapped in prosciutto – so fucken good.

What was the experience in My Naked Kitchen?

There was a bit of a learning curve, haha, getting used to spitting out my thoughts and not fumbling over my words. Ed was a great director though, and we hit out groove after a while. I had a blast and can’t wait to do more!

If you could have someone join you to cook as a *second guy (my episodes were by myself, so it’d be just a second guy). Who would you like to join?

Well, I’ll probably try to drag a few buddies of mine on to the show with me, cause I feel the joking chemistry I have with most my buddies would lead to entertaining episodes haha. But if I were to pick let’s say a celebrity to co-host with it’s for sure be a three-way tie between Arnold, Sly Stallone, and The Rock haha.

Are we going to see on more than one episode?

We already filmed three episodes. I believe the first will be aired next week sometime. Then the next two will be spaced a week or two apart.

Where will the episodes be released?

You can find the episodes on the YouTube channel @ www.youtube.com/mynakedkitchen

This past month I made my triumphant return to Magic/Project. I was unable to attend the last two shows. It made it great to come back and see some brands and people I haven’t seen in over a year. However, I was not alone, The Thonged Ginger was along for the ride! It was awesome to have another UNB guy with me.

UNB Tim’s Take

Smaller show than previous shows

This year I knew I had to get back to the shows. The last two shows I have been unable to attend. In previous years there have been 20+ brands in August to visit. This show the number was down to 8 or so. This is the smallest show that I have ever been to in Vegas. The February show is always much bigger. I do plan on going and having The Thonged Ginger along with me. He was awesome to have as my wingman.

Future of the shows

If the shows continue to keep going down in attendance, the future of the underwear sections is uncertain. After the problems in 2016, many brands didn’t feel like they were welcome. Several of those didn’t return to the show. Others are only attending the February show, and skipping the August show. But time will tell as to what happens to the show. I hope they keep going in some fashion, it’s great to see all the brands and new ones!

ThongedGinger:

I agree this seemed like a small event compared to the hype that it was given but I did enjoy my time there with Tim. While I let time express the most about the show the brands we saw have some pretty good things coming soon. I would really like to spoil the new stuff we were shown from Papi but alas I’ll leave that for them once they do their reveal, all I can say is that I am a fan. The others that were shown piqued my interest but Papi and Cocksox were the only 2 that cater to my favorite style.

Stay tuned for write ups of each of the brands!

Hey, everyone, it’s Underweardude. Clever is back with its new fall line up, and I’ve picked out a few pairs that I think are awesome! They’ve divided this season’s collection into six broad subjects: Print’s, Pick and go, Sport, Elite, Sexy, and Swimwear.

Clever has always done some fun prints, and this year is no exception with the pairs in their Print section. My favorite of the bunch is probably the Cosmopolitan, seen below as a brief but it’s also available as a boxer-brief. It’s probably the most understated print from Clever in this new collection, so if you are looking for something flashier you won’t be disappointed.

Pick and go looks like stuff meant for everyday wear, but with a Clever spin on things. While the Aura line sports a stylish and useful mesh rear, you’d mostly likely find me in the Grape colored Classy Icon Latin brief. I own several Clever Latin briefs in various colors myself, and I quite like them. They are quite a low rise but still feel very much like a pair of briefs. More basic boxers and briefs are available if that suits your tastes as well.

Sport sees the proliferation of mesh continue, as a majority of the pairs from this segment consist of close-knit mesh that doesn’t appear to be see through, in case you were worried. I like the look of the Spaceman brief myself. With the entirety of the rear made of mesh, you’ll never get overheated back there, or get the dreaded “swamp-ass.”

Elite seems harder to pin down than the other divisions, the pairs within all have a classy look to them. Mostly solid tones, my favorite of them being the green Navy Latin brief. It’s rare to see such a light shade of green grace men’s underwear.

Sexy is where Clever lets its designs go wild. See through mesh, skimpy bikinis, jocks, and thongs all dwell here. If I had to choose, I’d go with either the New Wave Brief, which harkens back to Clever’s old Romano Brief style, that has been missing from Clever’s lineup for some years now that I quite like, or the navy thong, with some fun color combinations. While brown isn’t usually my pick for the color of my underwear, the bright blue trim and logo on the waistband just pop for me, and I think they work well together.

Lastly, we have swimwear, with a bevy of fun prints. My favorite is the Summertime swimsuit Brief, particularly the rear. Such a nicely composed illustration, and a great use of color. I could easily see a print of this hanging on a wall somewhere.

So which pair would you wear? Be sure to let us know in the comments below, or let us know on twitter!
