In the latest episode of Brief Talk After Dark, I had the pleasure of welcoming back a familiar voice—Al, known In a new episode of Brief Talk After Dark, we’re diving deep into spandex, self-expression, and how fitness and fetish often intersect. Our returning guest is Al—better known online as Proud Thonger—who shares his journey with spandex, body image, and how gear can be both functional and sexy.
From Spandex Boy to Thong Guy: Al’s Personal Gear Journey
Before Al became an exclusive thong wearer, his first love was men’s spandex. “I was a spandex boy before I became a thonger,” he says. It started with P.E. class, Lycra gym shorts, and watching ’90s fitness videos with leotards and leg warmers. That early fascination never left.
Later, when Al began his fitness transformation, spandex became a key part of his identity. Standing 5’3″ and once weighing 183 pounds, Al committed to healthier habits. Now, as a certified Pilates, yoga, and indoor cycling instructor, his daily uniform often includes tights, fitted shirts, and yes—matching compression socks.
“There’s nothing else I would wear to work out. Spandex just feels right on my skin,” Al shares.
Why Men Love Spandex: Comfort, Confidence, and Compression
For Al, wearing spandex isn’t just about looks. It’s about comfort and purpose. Brands like 2XU, Under Armour, and Skins offer high-quality compression wear that supports circulation and movement. These brands make you look good, but more importantly, help you perform better.
And let’s not ignore the aesthetics: “It shows off every manly bulge,” Tim jokes during the podcast. Al agrees. “My pecs look hot. I’m just going to say that.”
When Fetish Meets Function: The Sexy Side of Spandex
While many men discover spandex through athletics, for others, it evolves into something sensual—and that’s perfectly normal. Al embraces both sides of the experience.
“Before I discovered the fetish part, I loved how it felt,” he explains. “Now, it’s part of who I am.”
From glossy tights to sheer bodysuits, Al isn’t afraid to flaunt it on social. He acknowledges the blurred line between fetish wear and fitness gear—and how both can exist in harmony.
Top Men’s Spandex Brands Al Recommends
Al wears a wide range of spandex, depending on the day and purpose. Here are a few of his favorite go-to brands:
2XU – Performance-grade compression tights
Skins – Comfortable and sleek for everyday wear
Under Armour – Great for teaching fitness classes
Skinfit (defunct) – Formerly a top brand out of Mexico
AliExpress Finds – Cheap, shiny, and perfect for showing off
“Some of the cheaper tights get sheer fast,” Al admits. “But I just wear pantyhose under them and keep going!”
The Power of Gear and the Online Spandex Community
Through Instagram, BlueSky, and yes—even Twitter—Al has built strong connections with other spandex lovers. Names like Bricklayer Steven, Andy Lycra, and SkinTightness are just a few in the community who’ve inspired him.
“We all connect over our love of gear, thongs, and tights,” Al says. “It’s not just fetish—it’s family.”
He emphasizes the importance of accepting newcomers, respecting different preferences, and avoiding judgment over price or style. Whether it’s a $500 tri-suit or a $12 AliExpress find, Al believes everyone deserves to explore gear in their own way.
Fitness, Mental Health, and Being Kind to Yourself
Al’s journey hasn’t been without hardship. He spoke openly about gaining weight during COVID and losing his mother in late 2023. Through it all, spandex, fitness, and therapy helped him navigate grief and maintain balance.
“Whatever your journey, be kind to yourself,” he shares. “Life changes. Priorities shift. That’s okay.”
Final Thoughts: Spandex as a Tool for Self-Love and Empowerment
From the gym to the bedroom to a bold Instagram post, spandex is more than just a fabric. For Al, it’s a way to feel strong, sexy, and in control. He encourages men to explore spandex for what it is: a way to feel empowered—whether for fitness, fetish, or pure fun.

There’s an intentionality to Dominic Albano’s approach – one that values restraint over excess, storytelling over spectacle. A model turned creative director, designer, and photographer, Albano is the force behind DOMINIC ALBANO COLLECTION, a luxury essentials label in-the-making that favors precision and mood over seasonal churn. Launched in 2023 as an elevated underwear brand, the label now expands into swimwear, the first steps toward a broader yet deliberately paced evolution.
“I originally set out to create an underwear line,” Albano says. “That was the concept, and as the brand evolved, so did the desire to expand. The underwear collection is versatile – sexy, fashionable, and athletic – and the addition of swimwear will follow the same trajectory.” Albano adds, “Each release will follow a deliberate, curated rollout – allowing each piece to make an impression before new edits are introduced.”
Imagery is at the heart of DOMINIC ALBANO COLLECTION, shot on film with a retro aesthetic that evokes nostalgia while capturing queer sensibility. The visuals are steeped in storytelling, reminiscent of queer iconography, where lounging in underwear and swimwear becomes both a statement of confidence and a reflection of desire. This visual language seamlessly carries into the designs themselves, with muted earth tones, classic colors, refined silhouettes and an undeniable sex appeal that defines the collection.
At the heart of the collection lies an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, design, and sustainability. Albano uses Tencel fabric for his underwear, valuing its exceptional softness, durability, and breathability. Similarly, the swim line is fashion-forward and performance-driven, made from recycled materials and designed for a sleek, sculpted fit. The material is chlorine resistant for long lasting durability, with excellent stretch and shape retention to enhance comfort..

If you’ve followed UNB long enough, you know my passion for underwear, gear, and self-expression runs deep. Beyond the blog posts and podcast episodes, one of the ways I’ve been channeling that energy is through my art — and I’m finally sharing it with you.
I’m excited to announce the release of eight 8×10 giclée prints I created specifically for the first-ever Kink Down South event. These pieces capture bold, unapologetic moments of queer kink and masculine expression, and each one is available now in a special, limited-time drop.
Why This Drop Is Special
These prints aren’t mass-produced — they were printed to showcase at the very first Kink Down South, and I’m offering them now at an accessible price so they can go home with people who truly connect with them.
Each 8×10 print is just $10 unframed. Professionally printed with archival inks on high-quality paper, they feature rich color, deep blacks, and exceptional detail — gallery-level quality made for our community.
There’s only one of each at this price. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Each Print Tells a Story
Here’s what you’ll find in the drop:
Coming Off – A quiet, sensual moment where gear meets vulnerability.
Cowboy Spank – Leather meets lasso in this playful Southern fantasy.
Harness Jock – Strength and simplicity in just straps and stance.
Himbo – Bright, bold, and basking in body-positive joy.
Leather Couple – Two figures, one bond. Intimacy through gear.
Leather Jock – Sleek lines and attitude wrapped in leather tradition.
On Your Knees – A visual poem to submission and strength.
Sir and Boy – Trust and power, rendered in shadow and silhouette.
These pieces reflect my style — no faces, just bodies, posture, and energy. I’ve always believed the viewer should get to imagine who the subject is — or maybe even see themselves in it.
A One-Time Chance to Own My Work
I’m offering these prints at this price not to make a profit — but to share something meaningful with the folks who support me, who get it, and who believe that kink and gear belong in art just as much as galleries and coffee tables.
Whether you’re an art lover, a kinkster, or someone who just wants to hang something that feels like home — this is your chance. There is only one of each print at this price!

Swimwear for City Life – and Every Body

Pond continues to walk the talk on sustainability. The SS25 collection is crafted from European-sourced fabrics to reduce transport emissions, and the brand keeps production runs small to avoid overstock and waste. It’s slow fashion made for fast dives.
Meet Pond Copenhagen
Launched in 2021, Pond Copenhagen is deeply rooted in the urban swim culture blooming across progressive cities. Designed in Denmark and made in Portugal, Pond brings a Scandinavian touch to city-ready swimwear using premium recycled materials and conscious production.
As a founding signatory of the Swimmable Cities Charter, Pond donates 1% of its annual turnover to support clean and accessible urban swimming spaces worldwide.
