In this episode of “Brief Talk After Dark,” UNB Tim is joined by Jack, a beloved guest in the spandex community. Together, they delve into the growing culture surrounding spandex and gear, from how to connect with like-minded individuals to the evolution of the fetish into a legitimate community.
Spandex, once seen as a niche interest, is now becoming mainstream in fitness, sports, and fashion. More and more people are embracing spandex as not just a fetish but as everyday wear, whether it’s for workouts or fashion-forward events like DILF parties, where Jack recently wore an Amoresse suit, much to the crowd’s admiration.
One key takeaway is how social media platforms, like Instagram and Twitter (now X), are transforming the way people in niche communities connect. Jack shares his journey of shifting from Twitter to Instagram and finding a more wholesome, less overtly sexual environment to build friendships. The conversation touches on how platforms like Spandex Party provide spaces for those with niche interests to connect and celebrate their shared love for spandex, cycling gear, and more.
Throughout the episode, Tim and Jack explore the growing versatility of spandex, from its integration with other gear like leather and harnesses to its potential as everyday wear. The episode also touches on deeper themes like dating, relationships, and the evolving landscape of queer life. Jack, having recently navigated a breakup, speaks to the importance of authenticity in relationships, especially when it comes to sharing his love for spandex with a partner.
In closing, the episode emphasizes that while spandex and gear may have sexual connotations for some, it’s ultimately about finding community and self-expression. Tim and Jack encourage listeners to embrace what they love, be unapologetic about their passions, and continue building connections through gear, both online and offline.

Their latest collection of sports-inspired jockstraps and swing pouches comes in white, blue, and a touch of red, drawing inspiration from the world of sweaty sportsmen, locker room antics, and frat house fun—because boys will be boys.

In the latest episode of the Brief Talk After Dark podcast, UNB Tim sits down with Tony, a social media sensation known for his bold lingerie looks and fearless self-expression. Tony takes listeners on a journey through his personal evolution from thong-wearing teen to lingerie-loving adult, sharing how his interest in intimate apparel has grown and how men everywhere are now embracing lingerie.
For many men, lingerie has long been associated with femininity or even cross-dressing. But as Tony explains, there’s a growing movement where men are mixing traditionally “feminine” lingerie styles with their masculine energy, creating something powerful and sexy. From thigh-high stockings to bodysuits, Tony’s collection is as diverse as it is stunning—and he’s not shy about wearing his favorite pieces to the gym or locker room.
During the podcast, Tony shares how wearing lingerie makes him feel more confident, sexy, and even more in tune with his body. Whether it’s a simple thong or a full-body corset, lingerie isn’t just for special occasions; it’s a way to express yourself and feel good in your own skin.
For men looking to explore lingerie, Tony recommends starting small—maybe with a pair of thigh-highs or a bodysuit—and building up from there. He also highlights the importance of open communication with partners when it comes to lingerie, encouraging men to be confident about their choices. After all, feeling sexy and comfortable in your own skin is what matters most.
Tony also gives us a sneak peek into his favorite lingerie brands, including X-Dress and Shein, where he’s found many of his favorite crotchless pieces. He also teases some new items on his wish list, like skirts and heels, which are sure to add even more variety to his already impressive wardrobe.
This podcast episode isn’t just for lingerie enthusiasts—it’s for anyone interested in breaking down fashion stereotypes and embracing a style that’s all about confidence, self-expression, and fun. Be sure to check out the full episode, and follow Tony for more lingerie inspiration!

MODUS VIVENDI Unveils Denim Line and the “Greek Island Wanderer” Campaign from FW 24/25 Collection. The collection is designed for the modern man who seeks both comfort and cutting-edge style, effortlessly combining the durability of denim with the flexibility of elastic fabric.
Accompanying this release is the “Greek Island Wanderer” Campaign, a visually captivating narrative set against the backdrop of the sun-drenched streets of a traditional Greek island. The campaign features a man, exuding quiet confidence as he strolls through the labyrinthine alleys, his denim designs seamlessly blending with the natural beauty and charm of his surroundings. His presence echoes the spirit of adventure and discovery—a metaphor for the MODUS VIVENDI man who embodies both individuality and style.
In the “Greek Island Wanderer” campaign, MODUS VIVENDI draws inspiration from the age-old beauty of the Greek islands, where time seems to stand still, and where every twist and turn of the narrow streets holds a promise of new discoveries. The man in the campaign roams freely, embracing the island’s serenity while clad in pieces from the new Denim Line. His journey through the streets and whitewashed alleys is symbolic of the Denim Line’s unique promise—a wardrobe that evolves with every wear.
The raw denim used in the collection is woven with elastic fabric, creating a fit that molds perfectly to the body while maintaining the ruggedness and authenticity of denim. As the fabrics fade and soften over time, they adapt to the wearer’s body and lifestyle, developing a personal, lived-in look.
The Denim Line is the result of extensive experimentation with texture, structure, and form, offering a contemporary take on the classic human uniform. Each piece is meticulously crafted to balance versatility with an enduring sense of style, from casual everyday wear to statement pieces that turn heads. Every piece is designed with a minimalist approach yet rich in detail offering a sleek, modern silhouette.
MODUS VIVENDI’s Denim Line extends beyond outerwear, offering a range of underwear, shorts, pants, and shirts that celebrate comfort without sacrificing style. Whether it’s the form-fitting cut or the detailing like sleeve plackets with adjustable nickel snaps, every garment is designed for the modern man who values aesthetics and functionality.
Designed to grow and change over time, the MODUS VIVENDI Denim Line embodies the passage of time, personal growth, and transformation. With every wash and wear, the pieces acquire a unique patina, mirroring the wearer’s journey through life.

With this TBT, we take you back to the first year of UNB. This is a pink swim brief from Timoteo that we profiled in September 2010, a few weeks before we celebrated our first anniversary. When I look back on what we have accomplished over almost 16 years, it makes me smile. Like Taylor Swift, we have had our eras here; this was our finding our feet era.
We had Adam Jaxon on the Brief Talk After Dark podcast a few weeks ago. I had so much fun talking to him and he suggested the next time we do something do a live stream and take questions and “callers.” We decided to do a Twitter Space on Sept 18th at 9 PM eastern. I can’t guarantee I will record the space, but I plan on trying to do it.
We are open to any questions you guys have about spicy content creation, underwear, modeling, gogo dancing and more. Adam is an open book and we want to have fun on this Space. Join us on Twitter under my handle @unbtim
Today we feature a Swim thong that I know many of you guys will want. It’s the ES Collection MARGARITA SWIM THONG Made with Molded Tech – which means no unsightly stitches & seams. This sounds like witchcraft but if it works I think we will see more designs like this in the future.
Pikante is a brand that is all about embracing yourself and wearing what makes you feel incredible. The brand loves to play with mesh, cutouts, and more. We all want to feel sexy wearing what we love, it gives us confidence, and it’s more than underwear, it’s a lifestyle.
Over the past few months, I’ve been reflecting on the importance of community-building, especially in the world of underwear, spandex, lingerie, and kink. One thing that stands out is the lack of spaces where people with similar interests can connect and build genuine friendships. There are too few opportunities for people to unite over their shared love of underwear or gear, whether online or in person.
My blog and podcast have allowed me to share my passion for men’s underwear and gear for years. However, I’ve realized that it’s more than just about the latest trends—it’s about fostering a community where people can feel comfortable and supported in their interests. Through the podcast, I’ve started to open up more about my personal journey, allowing listeners to get to know the person behind the platform. This shift has made the podcast not only a space to discuss underwear but also a way for me to connect with like-minded individuals.
The Power of Friendship in Niche Communities
One of my biggest goals is to build more friendships with people who share our deep love for underwear and gear. We all want friends who understand this side of us and who feel just as passionate about it. Finding people who don’t judge you for leaving a pair of thongs or bikinis lying around or genuinely appreciating your love for a particular brand or style can be challenging.
At this stage in my life, I’m not looking for casual flings like I did in the past. I’m searching for real friendships based on shared interests, where we can support one another and talk openly about things like underwear without feeling awkward or embarrassed.
The Challenges of Making Friends in an Online World
As I’ve navigated the world of online communities, I’ve noticed how hard it can be to form genuine connections. Many platforms are more geared toward hookups, making it difficult to build friendships. I’ve changed my approach to how I engage with people online. I no longer post to find a hookup; instead, I’m focused on forming friendships with people who share my passion. For instance, I’ve found that it’s easy to misinterpret someone’s intentions when they reach out online, leading to misunderstandings and missed opportunities for friendship.
I’ve found genuine compliments on people’s appearance, style, or confidence go a long way. Instead of comments focused on someone’s physical attributes, I prefer to say things like, “That color looks great on you” or “You look so confident in that outfit.” These compliments help people feel more comfortable and open to starting a conversation.
A More Inclusive and Welcoming Community
Over the last few years, I’ve met some fantastic people who have shown me that you can’t judge a book by its cover. Some of the most handsome and fit guys I’ve met are the sweetest and most supportive people. This realization has made me even more passionate about creating a community that welcomes people of all sizes, colors, and backgrounds.
It’s essential to break down the stigma surrounding underwear and gear, starting with more open conversations. Whether on my podcast or through my online connections, I want to create a space where people feel comfortable, encouraged, and empowered to talk about their interests without fear of judgment.
How Do You Build Friendships in the Underwear Community?
I’m still on this journey of finding and building more friendships within the underwear and gear community, and I’d love to hear from you. Your experiences, your successes, and your strategies all matter. How do you go about making friends who share your love for underwear? Where have you found the most success in connecting with like-minded individuals? I want to know what works for you because your input strengthens our community.
If you have thoughts or ideas on fostering community in this space, please comment, email, or DM me. Let’s continue this conversation and work together to create a more supportive and connected community. I’m eager to hear about your experiences and learn from your insights. Together, we can make this community even more inclusive and welcoming.
Wrapping It Up
Ultimately, the most important takeaway is that building friendships based on shared interests like underwear and gear can be deeply fulfilling. As I continue to work on the podcast and expand my network, I want to create a space where people feel supported, confident, and free to be themselves. It’s not just about the underwear—it’s about the friendships we form along the way.
Let’s start making more meaningful connections and build a community that embraces everyone, no matter what style of underwear or gear they love.

MODUS VIVENDI Launches Bamboo Line and “Cute Panda” Campaign for FW 24/25 Collection
Explore Comfort, Sustainability, and Playful Elegance with MODUS VIVENDI’s Newest Collection
Inspired by the tranquility of nature and the elegance of the bamboo plant, MODUS VIVENDI’s “Cute Panda” Campaign brings together fashion, fun, and an environmental message. The campaign follows a man donning a panda head as he sneaks into the jungle, immersing himself in the serenity of the wild, sharing moments of play and peace with real pandas. The metaphor is clear: reconnecting with nature can be both playful and sustainable.
The Bamboo Line is at the heart of this collection, crafted from eco-friendly and biodegradable bamboo yarns. This innovative fabric offers unmatched thinness, stretch, and smoothness, ensuring ultimate comfort without compromising style. The Bamboo Line’s lightweight designs are not only luxuriously soft but also highly breathable, making them ideal for active wear or daily elegance.
Key Features of the Bamboo Line:
· Eco-friendly & Biodegradable: Sourced from sustainable bamboo, our fabric is biodegradable, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
· Breathability & Ventilation: Superior moisture absorption and ventilation properties keep you fresh and dry, even in challenging conditions.
· UV Protection: The fabric offers natural UV light resistance, protecting your skin from harmful rays.
· Luxurious Texture: The ultra-soft touch combined with seamless stretch ensures a second-skin feel that’s perfect for any body type.
The “Cute Panda” Campaign was born from the brand’s philosophy of harmony between nature and fashion. The panda, a symbol of peace, serves as a playful yet powerful figure in this campaign. By entering the jungle, the man in the panda costume symbolizes our goal to reconnect with nature and live harmoniously with the earth, all while embracing comfort and style.
This narrative focuses on MODUS VIVENDI’s ongoing mission: to create pieces that not only feel good to wear but also contribute positively to the environment. The panda costume reminds us to protect our planet, while the bamboo fabric stands as a testament to our ability to make sustainable choices in fashion.
MODUS VIVENDI invites individuals to step into a world where comfort meets sustainability. The Bamboo Line is designed for those who seek a blend of luxury, environmental consciousness, and unparalleled softness in their clothing. Whether you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe for the cooler months or searching for the perfect gift, this collection offers something extraordinary for everyone.
