My Body Image… it’s not positive
WARING, this will be a very long post!
This has not been the most comfortable post for me to write. I have started and started this about ten times over the last few days. It was teased this on Sunday in the “UNB Gets Personal” post. Should I go into detail about the blog and how I started it and then move into my personal struggles and then finish it up? Or should I just go full-on personal and lay it all out there?
I was chatting with jesuistyler in IG DM’s, no he didn’t slide into my DMs! I have a lot of great convos on IG, so feel free to hit me up there! But back on track, he mentioned he was looking forward to the body image post, and I leveled I have had some issues writing this and not getting my voice. He responded with this (and he permitted me to use this):
My opinion, lay it all out! Write from the heart ❤️! Body image is such a mind fuck (pardon my language) that I think almost all men silently struggle with. I can tell you, I am one of those people. Being a fan of underwear only amplifies the feelings because all the adds are of chiseled, perfect men.
In 2008, I created UNB. Interesting fact, I wanted to call it Underwear Briefs, a catchy name, but the URL was taken, so I added News in the title, and voila, UNB was born. The world of underwear was a different place 12 years ago. There was no Instagram; Twitter was just a few years old, and when you brought up you loved underwear, you either got a strange look or one of those knowing looks.
I set up the blog to reach all guys, including gay, straight, and bi. I thought that doing it more journalistic was the way to go. I would share opinions and such, but I never really put myself out there like other guys on the site across the years. Those guys are Alex, Andrew, Martin, and more. There have been other guys who have put pics of them up on reviews, which I have always encouraged. I wanted guys to put themselves out there as much as they felt comfortable doing. I, however, never felt comfortable doing that for anything on the site. I considered myself more of the Wizzard behind the curtain.
Going personal will be done in steps. Am I ready to just start posting pics of myself and jumping into the deep end? NO, not at all. Am I going to give up some of the journalistic posts? No, I love covering the industry and will continue to share those new brands I find and interview brands. I think there will be a great mix of both. The start is this post. I will also open the blog to the guys on the podcast and others to guest write and talk about body positivity openly and honestly. And by all means, give me feedback on posts. I don’t get a lot of feedback, so when I inspire you, let me know! It pushes me to make even more fantastic content.
As the years progressed, more and more blogs, and especially Instagram accounts are now about the person. The prime example of that is Andy on the podcast, aka Scruffy Gear. I give him mad props for putting himself out there as he did with his blog and his IG account. He was the brand, and people started to look at him for underwear and advice. I felt like the way I was running things was going the way of the dinosaurs. I needed to energize what I was doing. But, at that time, I was in a job that I hated, and I didn’t realize how much I hated it until I was out of it. It changed me, and I was a miserable person.
Then I met someone I really admire. UndiesCub. Stevie is not a male model; he’s a beefy guy that wears sexy AF undies and posts pics of him on a car, out in public showing his thong and a ton more. And here he is getting all this attention and guys loving what he’s posting. It proves that you don’t need to be a male model to wear sexy undies. The world of undies is changing when a Cub can show off in a thong and not give a fuck!
I have surrounded myself with guys on the podcast, UndiesGeek, JayinCA, Cody from the SpeedoMovement, and more who, in my mind, give no fucks and show off on IG and Twitter. Each of these guys you have seen in swim briefs or thongs. They are all fantastic guys who I respect and am honored to call my friends.
I’m reminded by a lyric from Bette Midler’s “I’m Beautiful”:
“Too black, too white, too short, too tall,
too big, too green, too red, too small.
I said you don’t belong. You don’t belong.”
If you don’t have the abs and pecs, you may seem there is no place for you in the world of underwear and swim briefs. But that’s so not true. I love guys that show their passion. Who cares if you’re too big, too small, not blonde haired or blue eyes. If you are a bear who loves a pink lace thong, wear it and show it off! If you’re a thin guy and love UnderArmour, show it. We need to come together and support our brothers in gear. Underwear has brought me friends (both gay and straight) I would never have met.
In my 20’s I was a total twink. I called my self a geeky twink. I was 6’4″, 31/32 inch waist, and about 165 pounds. I was rail-thin and never could gain weight. No matter what I did, it never happened. So I could rock the swim briefs and other skimpy gear, and I felt good wearing it and felt sexy. I mean, I would go out in Piedmont Park in the ’90s and layout on “Speedo Hill” and not care. I would welcome the guys checking me out as I dropped my shorts to some skimpy brief. They were always skimpy briefs back then. I would do this all the time, and I would go on vacations and be the only one in a swim brief on the beach and not care.
At the age of 27, the metabolism slowed down, and while I wasn’t gaining massive weight, I “filled out” for a better term. I had a 36-inch waist, and I thought it fit me well. So through the 2000’s I steadily inched up in weight. The 225 that fit me well got left behind. It wasn’t until I saw a pic of me at the 2012 swimwear shoot that I went, “Who is that?” and it was me. I gained a lot of weight, after seeing that pic I was like no more, and got back down to my 225. I felt good and myself again. When I looked in the mirror, I saw myself again, not that stranger who had been looking at me.
Life happens, and I gained much of the weight back. I went from commuting to work every day to work at home. I had some anxiety issues, and I stopped paying attention to what I ate and what I was doing. When you hate the way you look, it affects every part of who you are from self-confidence, outlook on life, and anxiety issues.
Let’s face it 2020 is a clusterfuck. The start of this year should have been foreshadowing for the rest of the year. When in Vegas for Project, I was admitted into the hospital. I mean, is there anywhere else you would not want to be in a hospital than vegas?
Long story short, I could go on and on, and this is a super long post (I warned you, and it will be longer). I was on the flight to Vegas, and I received a high heart rate notification on my Apple Watch. Sitting on a plane and watching a movie, my heart rate was 134. I thought at the time I had a panic attack. We landed, and I got to the hotel and passed out. I wanted that day to be done. The day before I felt off and not myself, I couldn’t explain it, I thought it was 100% anxiety. However, the next morning the heart rate was still 120 resting. I knew that something was not right. I needed to go to the ER, granted I don’t currently have health insurance, but I couldn’t let that stop me (luckily, this was before the start of COVID-19).
At 6:30 AM, I”m in a cab on the way to the ER. I am on the phone with a local vegas friend and my family letting them know. When I get to the ER, I tell them what’s happening, and they check my blood pressure. It was well over 200. And, for the first time in my life, I was escorted into the ER without waiting. They immediately tested me for heart issues and blood clots. All significant tests for heart attacks and stroke come back negative. They keep me overnight for observation. My blood pressure drops over 100 points (I don’t know if it’s pointing or whatever, but for this post, it’s points, you healthcare guys can correct me). I am released but have to get two prescriptions filled. I leave the hospital and go back to my hotel, wanting to lay down and take a nap. Wouldn’t you know that there was a fire in my hotel and I couldn’t go to my room for 4 hours. UGH!
The entire trip to me, I was worn out and lethargic. Usually in Vegas, I’m on the go all day and most of the night. I am at the show right when it opens, and until it closes. Then I go to dinner and a show. This trip, I didn’t get to the show till an hour after it opened and usually left an hour before close. I did exactly what I needed to do and left. Now, I should have changed my flight when I got out of the hospital and gone home, but I wasn’t thinking.
I was told I needed to make changes at the ER and with my local doctor. That I knew and I have done some but not far enough because COVID-19 hit, and we were locked down, and it seemed like a scene out of Outbreak.
The changes I want to make are not to get abs. I have never wanted abs because it takes a lot of work and a rigorous diet. I want to be back down to a 36/38 waist and around 225-235 pounds. My waistline will never be a 31 ever again; I felt I was too thin back then.
Ok, now that we have taken a trip around the moon and back. The point of this is to get you to know who I am and what has brought me to this place. BTW, I never met a tangent I didn’t like.
My favorite style of underwear is a bikini. I love the fit, the feel, and the pouch of the bikini. However, when I wear the pairs I love the fit, and look in the mirror I don’t like what I see—a 6’4″ bear in bikinis. No one would ever mistake me for an underwear model.
So you ask, “why don’t you post pics?” I always answer in my head; no one wants to see that; I need to attract readers, not scare them off. Yes, I compare myself to the guys you see in underwear ads.
I have posted a pic on social that most guys didn’t know it was me. I sent Undies Cub a pic of me, I think in my singlet, and he posted as a “mystery guy.” I knew for sure that this post was going to bomb, and guys would ask to have it removed. The feedback he sent made me smile; it was the total opposite of what I expected. He encouraged me to do more, I have yet, the next time it’s done it will be sent out as me.
I still remember one of our very first swimwear shoots, specifically the 2012 shoot. This was the first shoot that I organized, got models, and got shot. I was so proud of this shoot. It was not because it was the best shoot of my life, but it was the first, and it featured more “real guys.” I posted it on the blog and Facebook, and the comment that sticks out to this day is, “Those guys aren’t models. and shouldn’t be modeling underwear.” I was so pissed.
I did not read this guy for posting but responded we wanted to use real models. I had worked weeks on this shoot only to be brought down because these guys didn’t have abs. I thought it was a fun shoot, and I learned a lot. That shows in more of our shoots throughout the years.
Going forward, we want to use more “real” or “average” guys. We have had conversations for years about a real guy shoot. The main issue has been finding guys willing to drop their trousers and get in front of the camera in their undies.
I have to say that one thing that inspired me most is “The Speedo Movement.” What Joe and Cody have created is so amazing. I kind of feel like I’m old school, and they came in with the new school way of doing the same thing. UNB has to change and evolve to survive. When I look back on 2008-2009, it’s so different from now. This feels like the right direction for me and UNB. Every guy I have talked to about this agrees 100%.
One step we have taken toward body positivity is our Fan Friday. We have opened up our IG stories to share pics of guys in their favorite gear. The only restriction is fitting into Instagram Prudish standards. So no overtly large bulges, bare ass, or VPL. We will post those on our blog because we have less prudish rules from our host provider than Instagram. If you want to participate in Fan Friday, email us or DM us a picture. We will then post it on Friday.
I want to do a lot more on the site. Please comment, email, or DM us your comments and suggestions. I want to do a monthly segment where we tackle different issues in underwear/swimwear/gear. To do this, we need more contributors than just me and the podcast guys. We need you guys to participate and give feedback. I am going to do some brainstorming with the guys as well!
If you want to go a step further, contact us and we would love to post your own story or take on body positivity. We always allow guys to guest post and share their journey and self-acceptance. I have noticed that when we post personal posts that are open and honest, we strike a chord in you and share and read more than other content.
WHEW! Ok, this post turned out way longer than I had expected. Once I get writing, It flows out. This post was very cathartic and very hard to put out there. When I hit the schedule button, and when it comes out, I will be thinking, “I don’t think I should have posted that.” or “Why did I post that, no one wants to read it.” But I”m doing it with the support of many of you out there. Thanks for reading this post!!!
Shout outs to Andy-ScruffyGear, Erik-UndiesGeek85, Stevie-UndiesCub, Jayinca, Salvatore, UNB John, Martin, Andrew, Jacob, Alex, Bryce, Cody from the Speedo Movement, and every guy who has worked on UNB for being supportive, and bringing their personal side out on the blog. I will always consider each of these guys part of the UNB Family. I hope we can add to this list in the next twelve years!
We are loving Fan Friday! It’s been a lot of fun to show real guys in undies. Each Friday we post on here and our IG Stories the guys who submitted their pictures. The IG pics are sometimes edited to fit IG standards but the ones here are unedited.
Enjoy this week’s guys and submit your own pics!
Today is the day for body positivity on UNB. One brand that is doing just that is Butch Life. Not only in their sizing but their pictures. This is what they say about the brand:
At , Butch we’re standing up – in our sneakers, sandals and steel toes – for a new kind of social construct. One that says ‘yes’ to beefy, bold and broad. One that says ‘yes’ to dad bods, Buddha bellies and Muscle Marys. And one that roars ‘yes’ to redefining masculinity for the modern man.
You have two more days to enter the Jockstraps.com Mask Giveaway! You have two days left! We will announce the winners on Sunday! Remember it’s open to the US and Canada.
CheapUndies has always sold amazing undies at better prices but they also put out their own collections. This was the Neon Swimwear Collection released in 2014.

Bear Skn launched a pride collection this week, it’s called the Backwoods Pride. Bear Skn makes undies for all guys regardless of size!
Designer: Bjorn Ryan-Gorman
Inspiration:
We have talked about doing a pride print for years. But I didn’t want just the rainbow flag. I felt that this has been done a lot and I wanted to do something fresh. We started the bear skn brand with our first prints being a traditional red/black Backwoods plaid and it continues to be one the favorite prints. So when I approached the idea of a pride I wanted to design something that I would be excited to wear. When I mocked up just the rainbow flag I wasn’t a fan. It wasn’t until I decided to combine it with our backwoods plaid that I knew we had a winner. It has now become one of my personal favorite prints. I am so excited for this release. I believe we got this one right. It was important for me when designing this one that it would be something that our customers would be excited about and proud to wear. The pride backwoods is the most anticipated print to release this year and I expect it to sell out.
In need of a more than friends swimwear or to get you noticed swimwear? Swimwear inspiration is here and we cannot stop dreaming the feeling of freedom in the sea water. Look ahead to sunny days and discover the feel good swimwear that takes fit, style and comfort to a new level. Beautiful and versatile this beachwear is taking you from beach to bar – and back again.

We shot Jonny Twofour (aka Jonathan) six years ago but never released his gallery as we had some camera setting issues and the resulting photos all had a redish-orange glow. Well, I finally found time to re-edit the original photos (thanks Covid) along with editing a bunch of new previously unreleased photos and have launched Jonny’s extended gallery of 97 photos.
Jonny Twofour is an insanely good looking, sexy, creative, flexible, uber-talented and hairy-all-over guy with one of the hottest bums we’ve ever come across (and that’s saying a lot!). He’s also into dance and yoga so we were so happy when he brought those talents to the photo shoot.
Currently, he’s focusing on his music with his first single out now (link at his website) with a full album about to drop on June 1st. Monday won’t come soon enough!
To find out more about Jonny and everything he’s up to, check out his website: https://jonnytwofour.com. You can also follow Jonny Twofour on Twitter (Lots of naughty photos and videos!), or follow Jonny Twofour on Instagram.
As for all the jocks and gear Jonny is wearing in the photos, you’ll find him in Full Kit Gear sports jocks and open back shorts as well as some unique Raw Studio Swim Jocks (yes, jockstraps designed as swim wear!) Unfortunately, they have all been discontinued.
Also! While working on his gallery, I’ve been in touch with Jonny and we’ve agreed that as soon as this whole Covid crap is over, we’re going to do another shoot. I can’t wait
OUR LATEST: GBGB GLORY HOLE JOCKS AND NASTY PIG CHAMP JOCKS AND BRIEFS
In case you missed it, be sure to check our latest jocks and gear from GBGB and Nasty Pig.
Our GBGB Clint Glory Hole Jocks are a (w)hole lot of fun. As is, it’s a sexy jock with a pouch made with two panels of GBGB’s signature ribbed knit fabric with a convenient hole formed where they meet giving you a glimpse of what lies beneath. Of course, the real fun starts when you pull your dick out of the hole – whether to show it off or have it serviced.
Nasty Pig Champ Jocks and Briefs: Not only has Nasty Pig brought back one of our favorite collections of sports fetish inspired jocks and underwear but this time around they brought in size xxlarge! This collection is a nod to boxing rings with a retro “EVRNASTY” Nasty Pig logo that’s a flash back to days when sports logos were simple and cool and one that’s inspired by a certain famous British boxing brand.
To relaunch it, we not only re-edited our existing photos of our model Trent in the Champ gear but also added some bonus shots.

SHOW US YOUR JOCKSTRAPS AND NOW UNDERWEAR TOO
As you know, a number of years ago we started a website called Your Jockstraps so our customers and fans could share photos of themselves in their jockstraps. It took off and now there are over 6000 photos up online. It’s a 100% free social site for jockstrap enthusiasts to share photos and comment on others.
During these past years we’ve had numerous requests for a similar site but geared toward underwear – so how could we not listen. This week we launched Your Underwear. It’s practically identical in format except the focus is men’s underwear, swimwear, sportswear and fetish wear. So if you have some photos of yourself in some tighty whities or some skimpy thongs, some skin tight spandex shorts or some full-frontal display gear then we want to see it.
Both sites are powered by Disqus so you can leave some encouraging words to all those brave guys putting themselves (and their gear) out there on display.
Just keep in mind, both websites are uncensored so the photos are often Not Safe For Work!

Bruno Menswear has some fun and awesome gear. If you haven’t checked out this brand from Mexico, head over to their site and check them out.
UNB has been through many iterations over the last almost 12 years. It still seems odd to say nearly 12 years. It seemed like it took me forever to get to 10 years, and now it’s just zooming by. I look back on UNB as Eras over the the past 12 years.
The first era was the beginning from 2008-2009. It was me cranking out the content. Then, in 2009, I got guys writing and had my first asst editor, John, who was terrific! He helped me grow the blog. It was like a roller coaster when I had 4-5 guys writing and back to myself. Then we had the straight guys. In 2016 ish, we had all straight guys writing ad then it goes back to just me. I blame this on a crapy job I had that wore me down.
The world of blogging has changed over the last 12 years as well. I”m at a point where I want to pivot again. There have been so many periods of burn out and “I have done it all” on the blog. I know that I haven’t done it all, and we have new readers all the time, and it’s good to revisit topics every few years. The reason for my latest inspiration has been Producing and making the podcast. I want to do something a lot more personal on UNB.
When I started UNB, I decided to go very “journalistic” and make it all about underwear and brands. I put in some opinions and personal things. As the blog grew, the more personal things we put in the blog, the better the traffic the posts generated. You guys want to read what is going through my mind and other guys. I am going to do more personal posts, and one up is the body image issue. I am not comfortable with who I am and posting pics. There I have said it. But that’s going to be the first post I plan on writing and sharing more of my loves and getting other guys to share their opinions and loves.
