A reinvention of the Querelle line launched a decade ago inspired by the 80s movie Querelle. Despite our morality, we all travel the journey into the sexual world. Some discover their preferences easily, others wonder around and get tastes of the rainbow palette until they know who they are. Through back moments and memories create who we are today and a reminder to love the man we are.
The Querelle Line comprises of jockstraps, tanga briefs, classic briefs and boxers.
Querelle Line has an exciting combination of color and surprise element. Underwear that can be unbuttoned so you don’t need to take it off! The perfect briefs for playful exploration. Made from cotton & elastan fabrics available in black, white, grey, red, blue and yellow. This 80s inspired style is sexy, innovative and ideal for those who are open to new adventures.
The Modus Vivendi Querelleline is available from €26.20 and you can discover the products here.

My name is Stephen, 35 years old, married + 2 kids, living in the Czech Republic. I would describe myself as straight and bicurious (although I never had a romantic or sexual relationship with a man (yet), I found hairy men very attractive and sexy). I am 100% sure people would not think I am an undies fan at all. I guess it is because of our old-fashioned Czech society.
When did you first discover underwear?
Well, to be honest, I don’t know how to answer this question. It was never my interest at all. As a relatively young man, you kinda know that even men wear thongs (bodybuilders, dancers), and I have never paid any attention to that at all. You know that both of these are usually handsome muscular guys, so the thongs look naturally great on them, but never ever think about it more, and 100% times, my answer would be, “those must be so uncomfortable.”
What was the first pair of good underwear you bought? What made you buy that pair?
What made me buy my first pair of underwear? That is a kinda funny story… On my wedding day, after the ceremony, our friends prepared those silly wedding games. One of those games was chores notes hidden in balloons, where you pop the balloon read the chore out loud, and either do it right away in front of everyone (if possible) or do it during your marriage. And on my turn, I popped a balloon with a funny chore (apparently intended for my wife) “sweep the floors in your house wearing only thongs.” Everybody laughed, and we moved on. After few years, you kinda forgot about that, but at the beginning of 2021, we had a minor crisis as our sex life was just so dull and almost non-existent (which for me as a guy is just brutal, and even that you know that your wife is super tired because of the kids, intimacy, and sex is so important to you and the relationship so I could not move on). So I tried all different things to spiced it up, and at that moment, I remembered that silly chore from our wedding game. So I went online and looked for man thongs. After few hours, I found a pair of lowrise, skimpy bright red thongs from some company JQK. After our kids were asleep, I put them on, took a broom, and started cleaning the floors. And at that moment, I was so ashamed of myself for being so judgemental and blind as I found them so comfortable and sexy.
How did this first pair influence your journey into the world of men’s underwear?
So as mentioned above, my first pair was JQK lowrise thongs. Pure cotton and I kinda liked them, so I bought a few more pairs of the same style with different colors. But after a very short period of time, I found them to be very uncomfortable to wear for a whole day. I tried to break them in (stupid idea) by sleeping in them and stretching the butt string, but nothing helped. I come to a conclusion that this is not the right size for me even based on the charts it should be alright. But I was not willing to give up. So I tried other different non-branded thongs until I decided that it was all waste of money one day. But I still wear thongs.
What are your current favorite styles? What style do you wear most?
My absolute favorite style is thongs; I wear them exclusively every day. Also, I love low-cut swim briefs.
What are some of your favorite pairs in your underwear drawer?
As a relatively new to the undies world, I am still learning, but I am very strict about the style, cut, colors, and materials, so once I find the brand and style that fits me, game on. My absolute and so far only favorite brand is CockSox; I love the feel, the simple colors, cut, the pouch, the support. It is just heavenly. So I owned many pairs of the same style of thongs from CockSox, and a few months ago, I made an exception and bought a g-string Slingshot by CockSox, and honestly, they might be my favorite pair for hot days.
Are you open to friends or partners about your love of underwear? If you have a partner, do they encourage your love of underwear?
Well, my wife supports me; she often jokes about the strings up my crack, etc. which is amazing because I am just comfortable wearing it and walking around in front of her, and even though she might not liked that in the beginning now I think she loves it, as it is more revealing she constantly stares at my cock. She recently helped me pick new colors, and she told me she couldn’t wait to see them on me, so yes. So far, I have only talked about that to one of my friends that wearing thongs, changed my life. But I feel it is still taboo, which is such a shame. I grew up in an era where everyone is wearing boxer briefs, and you stick with that because everybody wears that, and it is expected. And I struggled with that for so many years. I used to have rashes from the underwear; I was constantly scratched and chafed on my thighs. And all of a sudden, everything is gone. I truly regret I did not found out about thongs earlier in my life.
Has wearing great underwear boosted your confidence?
Oh absolutely. I found wearing thongs the most masculine thing ever. My confidence raised so much even though I am a big guy. I was never a skinny or athletic guy. I was always a big guy, not fat, just a big healthy guy with broad shoulders, strong legs, and a belly. It still amazes me how that tiny piece of fabric can give you such a confidence boost, so you feel like a completely new person. Wearing thongs made me like my body; most of the time, I looked at myself as an ugly and fat guy with a beard but now, I somehow embrace how I look; I learn to love my body.
What is the new UNB Closet? It’s a space that you can buy undies from the UNB closet. Over the last 13 years, I have so many pairs that I have (well over 100 pairs) in various sizes. These are undies and gear that I held on to so I would have something for a photo shoot if it arose or gear I was hoping to fit in eventually. I decided most of this gear has to go! I figured it would be great to give have you guys buy it and give it a loving home! These may be pairs you have missed back in the day but not get a second chance at getting. Also, the money generated will go towards funding UNB. So it’s a Win-Win.
So what’s in the Closet?
New with Tags – There is so much new with tags. NEVER been worn or even tried on. It’s BRAND NEW condition.
Gently used – I am debating this but I have several pairs we have used in a photoshoot and have been shot but not worn since the shoots. They have been washed and are clean. Also, I may open it up to some of our podcast guys to sell their gear without taking a massive cut like other services out there.
Vintage gear – Vintage gear is gear that is still in high demand in the secondary market. Brands such as Rufskin, N2N Bodywear, UnderGear, and more. They will be priced higher than normal pairs.
How are you doing the Closet?
The closet is powered by the UNB Store, but we are only offering it on UNB site and not the UNB Store. This means UNB is the only place you can get these pairs. Some pairs will come on the site and may go down in price until sold! SHHH. This means is you don’t buy then, you can miss the pair.
Sales on the site are “as is” and there are no refunds and exchanges on the pairs. All sales are final. Currently, we have some great deals in the store and more will be uploaded weekly. If you have any quesitons let me know. Shop the UNB Closet.

Clever has dropped the new Origen collection for Fall 2021. The collection is a lot of fun featuring some bright colors, see-through fabric, and bold prints. The best thing about Clever is that you can go from classic to fun in their collections. Here is more about the collection from Clever.
Since its inception, CLEVER has always had a clear purpose: to make people feel something as essential as underwear. ORIGEN collection is inspired by the beginnings of textures and silhouettes that are perfect for home or to explore that uncertain future. We are also committed to new technologies in our textiles, which not only improve your experience when wearing them, but also contribute to a sustainable environment
The Fabrics:
Cotton – Is ideal for everyday use. It is a soft, hypoallergenic, and resistant fabric. It allows air to flow freely. The fabric absorbs sweat and releases it on its surface allowing to “breath”
Polyester – Is a very lightweight material that does not shrink or stretch. It absorbs less moisture allowing faster drying. It can produce more vibrant and durable colors and is ideal for printing. When combined with other materials, product.
Nylon – It is highly resistant, which allows it to keep its shape for a long time. It dries quickly, is very clean, hygienic, and, due to its slow moisture absorption, allows for better breathability.
Types of Pouches
Anatomical Cup – they fit perfectly to the body and make it easier to have the genitals in any direction without discomfort.
Enhanced Cup – Provides an elevation of genitals, thus offering greater comfort while giving a larger appearance of the intimate part.
Jumbo Cup – Provides more space, allowing a natural fall of genitals and increases the size of the intimate area.
You can get this collection on sale at the UNB Store for 20% off till Tuesday, Sept. 14th at Midnight EDT. Use code Clever09 at checkout!
I”m going way back on this TBT, this is a picture from Sept 2010. Almost into our second year, it features the brand Geovanny. We featured them a few times back in the day. Sadly they aren’t around anymore. Their Facebook page has sporadic posts. Do you remeber Geovanny?
As you know I love spandex gear. One of the reasons I love Skin Fit is because you can get your gear to match. Plus they have some of the most amazing pics and models.
Today you can get a big deal in underwear. The Baskit $12 Tuesday sale has the Active Low-Rise Trunk as the pair of the day. This is available while supplies last. Don’t miss out on this pair.

Today is Labor Day the day we are to lay in the sun in our swim briefs or less and relax. I hope you guys are doing that. Today I am home working on some art, and relaxing. This is from our 2017 swim guide featuring a super amazing print from Cocksox. Sadly it’s gone from their catalog but they have plenty of other amazing prints.
Let’s face it 2020 sucked. It was probabaly one of the worst years on record. If you were one of the lucky ones who had no real economic hit to your wallet, consider yourself lucky. I know so many who had issues with money, Covid (pre vax days), and life in general. As 2020 went on my anxeity was an 11 on a scale of one to 10. I needed something other than happy pills to calm me down and help me releax.
In January, I remembed I used to draw all the time when I was younger and into my 20’s. After seen Danny’s art, I wondered if i could do something of my own? I dove into the app Procreate on the iPad, with the Apple Pencil. At first it was not good. But, I was rusty from not dawing for over 20 years. But, as this year has gone on I have improved and really finding my style.
I focus on underwear, swimwaer and spandex. These are the things that bring me joy. I have a few muses out there that you have seen. Alec, ClemsonCub, UndieDude24, MuscleBard, WhatthefScience, and I know I”m missing a few people. They are a diverse group of guys form beefy to musucalr. Plus each of these guys are some of the nicest guys out there.
However, I don’t do just guys. I have drawn buildings (think Vegas), political art (especially after Jan 6), humor (see my Clear mind and Living the Dream on Elm Street). Some of these may or may not see the light of day. Maybe if I do an art show I’ll pull them out and put them up. SHH, but that’s one thing I’d love to do sometime maybe in P-town have an art show of all my work.
Speaking of my work. I have hundreds of pictures I have drawn. You guys have only seen a small fraction of what I have done. Most of the times I don’t like something in the picture and haven’t found a way to fix whats wrong. Occasionally I’ll go back a few months later and revisit a picture and fix it. There are other pics I choose off social media for a challenge. I want to push myself to draw better and I’ll pick a picture with serval guys or a detailed background and draw it.
I would say at any given time I”m working on 20 different pictures at once. It’s funny because I will drawa something look at it and go, “um no.’ then a week later go back and go “what was I looking at this is great.” and finish it. Or more likely it’s “oh yeah that is hot garbage.” Its not the original picture it’s my take on the picture that I’m not happy. It has to be perfect for me to release. This week I have so many good finished pics I want to put out but don’t want to post more than one a day on IG. Other weeks I have nothing I want to share and I’m not motivated.
Some questions I get asked about my art:
Can you draw me? I can draw you one of two ways. The first is hire me for a comission and you get a high-res image for you to keep and the ability to add on a print of your art. The second is submit a pic for consideration. If you submit a pic, there is no telling when I will get to the picture and it will be posted on my social media accounts. It gets put on my draw stack and when I feel inspired I will draw. That woudl be a few days to a few months. If interested in a comission, send me a DM or email.
Can I buy your art? Yes you can, I opened my own store to sell prints, t-shirts and more. If there is a piece of art I have drawn that you want to buy and it’s not on the store, DM me and I can get it put on the store usually in a day or two. Visit my UNB Tim Art Shop.
Where did you develop your style? Probably one of my biggest art influences is Keith Haring. I LOVED him in the 80’s. I have drawn a lot of things in his style, and one year I did my own X-Mas card, which had a pun no one got. UGH. But, I didn’t want to do a take on him exactly. I don’t think I could ever live up to his tallent and skill. He had a one of a kind look, and I wanted to do something that was influenced by him but not a direct copy. I experimented with thick lines and such but have settled into what I am doing now. I love that he is seeing a resurgence in his work, however that means I’ll porbably never own an original due to the price now.
What else do you want to draw other than hot men? I do love drawing a hot man. However, I love drawing architecture and landmarks. The more detailed the better. Also, I want to draw more clothed guys as well. The 2Beefy2Thic boys, I drew their wedding pics and LOVEd how they turned out. So, wedding pics would be fun to add into the mix as well as suited men.
You do underwear/swimwear/spandex, do you ever do erotic pics? I do, it’s not as prevalent as my underwear work. I have drawn nude guys. I don’t have an issue doing nudes of guys. Two of my fav guys I have drawn them nude so many times. (No you cant see those). I would love to do more erotic pics such as leather, spandex, such. The male form is awesome and we shouldn’t be ashamed to see it nude.
What does the future hold for your art? I want to take some classes in life drawing so I can improve. I also want to learn Procreate a lot better. I’m very 2 D in my work and want to add in more shadows and shading to make it more 3 D. I have experimented with that but still not where I want to be. I hope my art keeps evolving and you guys want to see it.
How many of you love a pink thong? I would sare to say a lot of you reading this. N2N Bodywear has done a massive new product launch for Labor Day weekend! This is one I knew you boys would LOVE. “Our newest End Of Summer BASIC THONG gets a makeover! Now even tinier, mimicking the tikini silhouette. Soft, lightweight and sumptuously sexy” Get it before it’s GONE
Have you guys ever tried a “sock?” No I”m not talking about the ones you put on your feed but a jock like pair that is just a pouch. These can fit amazing and give you ample support. They are perfect for guys who are not fans of leg straps. Check out all the designs at Raw Studio Designs.
I hope you guys got a chance to listen to the podcast about Community Building, if not go check it out! It was a really great show that I plan on building on. It really got me thinking lately. Over the last few months, I have had a difficult time during the pandemic. My motivation and innovation have been in the dumps. One thing that really had brought me out of it is the podcast. A rambling show that I thought would be fun to do with my friends has turned out to be a much-needed outlet for many guys out there.
I was having a conversation in DM’s today about the show. It was someone who I really wanted to get on the show (and who agreed!!!). That when you think about it, the UNB podcast may seem like a silly concept to the larger society. They think, “Do we really need a podcast about men’s underwear?” The short answer is yes. The feedback we have received has shown us that is overdue.
The one thing I love best about the show is getting new guys I have never talked to on the show. Just a regular guy who loves underwear. Every Brief Tale we post has something that connects with a few of our listeners. Plus, a lot of these guys I have become friends with after. This is making me more comfortable sharing my own story and who I am. The blog I ran professionally and was all about the men’s underwear industry and not much on me. Well, times change and now it’s about connecting with people on a personal level.
At times, I don’t know what to put on the blog. I still love sharing new gear and things going on, but I”m trying to add more of who I am into the blog. I feel like I’m running in 20 different directions at once! But now I’m working on more and more.
The second reason I am writing this post is that I want you guys who sit back and listen to the podcast to step up and come on the show and share your story. You may be sitting there going, “No one wants to hear my story, and I’m not really somebody with a massive following.” Some of my best brief talks are with guys who are themselves and share their love and “origin” story. It’s surprising how many guys will see themselves in you. Lastly, it will show guys’ undies are amazing and there is no stigma to loving great undies.
I have been debating doing an AMA on the blog. You guys send in questions for me and I’ll post the answer and also do a podcast as well.
Doing UNB for 13 years the underwear, swimwear and gear really adds up. I have a massive closet full of gear. I kept these pairs just in case. Just in case we did a photo shoot, just in case I became a medium (lol like that will happen again), Just in case I needed underwear for a giveaway. As the years went on this collection grew and grew. It’s amazing how much stuff you have when you go through it.
I have decided it’s time to part ways with this gear. As much as I love having it in my collection it’s not doing me any good just sitting. I want it to go to guys who will love them and wear them proudly. Some of these are brands that you know and love and others are from brands that have disappeared long ago.
To see the gear I’m parting with check out the UNB Poshmark Page. It has a few great pairs and will be adding a lot more soon. As for eBay, I’ll be adding some classic vintage undies on there. The majority of these pairs are brand new with tags.
Shop our PoshMark page, and check often for newly added pairs. Follow me on Twitter, @unbtim to see when new pairs are uploaded.
Love Cellblock 13? The Relay Jock is 30% off this weekend! This amazing jock from Cellblock13 is a lot of fun. “This gym inspired jockstrap is crafted from a high-quality polyester/spandex sports mesh fabric. It includes an all new CellBlock13 logo up front, embossed tone-on-tone CellBlock13 logos on the leg straps and a contoured pouch that gives you a nice fit and lift. Perfect for the gym or the bedroom.”
We do a show about building a community that only touched the surface of what I wanted to cover on this topic. We had Stevie, Cody, Patrick, and myself talking about how we developed our own community around our love of underwear and speedos. Then we talked about some of the issues we have trying to build and maintain a community. Then we give some tips to grow your community.
There will be another community building show to follow up and build old this show. I think we could have gone for another hour.
The TBT pic for our Brief Distraction features Timoteo. This was a pic we profiled in September 2011. Notice the model is Steven Dehler. He’s a model that has been going strong in the industry for over a decade.
