The latest episode of Stretching the Truth dives into a topic nearly every spandex lover has faced: the fear, excitement, and ultimate liberation of wearing Lycra out in public. Whether you’re slipping into cycling kit, wrestling singlets, tights, or your favorite brightly colored skinsuit, stepping outside the door can feel like stepping into a whole new world.
This week, Tim sits down with the always insightful AndyELycra for one of our most honest and relatable conversations yet. Andy opens up about his evolving journey with Lycra—how he went from taking quick, nervous photos outdoors to joining cycling groups, attending gear nights, and finding real confidence in being seen.
One of the most impactful themes Andy discusses is the duality of Lycra. For many guys, spandex sits between two worlds:
Blending these sides can create mixed emotions: excitement, hesitation, confidence, fear, curiosity, and sometimes shame. Andy explores how embracing both sides helped him step into public spaces with authenticity and comfort.
Another major theme of this episode is the importance of community. Andy shares how joining cycling clubs, attending gear events, and connecting with people online helped him realize he wasn’t alone.
That sense of belonging changed everything.
It’s a reminder that:
As Andy says, “Feeling like you’re not alone is one of the most powerful things in this community.” This episode proves that point again and again.
Even the most confident people online started somewhere. Andy’s honesty about his own nerves creates space for others to breathe a little easier.
He talks about:
This episode strips away the illusion that confidence is effortless. It shows the real process—full of fear, growth, and finally, acceptance.
This conversation is about more than spandex.
It’s about identity, connection, confidence, and learning to embrace who you are. It’s also about recognizing that many others feel the same fears and desires you do.
If you’ve ever hesitated before stepping outside in your kit—or never stepped outside in it at all—this episode will resonate deeply.
The stories behind the photos matter. This episode brings those stories to the surface with honesty, humor, and heart.
Listen to the full episode of Stretching the Truth now.
Step into your gear.
Step into your confidence.
Step into your community.
Empowering. Deeply Revealing. Boldly Erotic.

French men’s lingerie brand L’Homme Invisible has released a breathtaking new line just in time for the upcoming Christmas and holiday season. The ‘Epi d’Or’ collection blends luxury, sensuality, and artistic craftsmanship—everything we expect from one of the most sophisticated brands in men’s intimate apparel.
Inspired by haute couture, the Epi d’Or line is made from unlined, sheer black tulle that reveals the body through a delicate interplay of light and golden reflections. The fabric is designed to shimmer subtly as you move, creating a bold, elegant, and deeply seductive effect that feels perfect for the festive season.
What makes this collection truly special is the hand-embroidered golden wheat motifs, a direct homage to Yves Saint-Laurent. These shimmering golden details elevate each piece from lingerie to wearable art, honoring one of fashion’s most iconic symbols of abundance, beauty, and sensuality.
L’Homme Invisible has also released a stunning visual campaign to accompany the launch, highlighting the sumptuous, couture-inspired styling of the new line. From its luxurious materials to its meticulous craftsmanship, Epi d’Or is made for the man who wants to step into the holidays feeling confident, radiant, and irresistible.
