It’s that time of year when N2N Bodywear introduces something fabulously unique and new! They are excited to present our seductively sexy NOIR X COLLECTION—a loungewear collection like no other. Made from a sumptuously soft fabric, it clings to and caresses the body while hinting at the skin through its sheer stripes. Luxurious and ultra-soft, this collection is a must-have for the holidays!
Over the last few days, I have considered continuing to use Twitter as an active platform. I have been trying to decide whether to focus time on it.
In full transparency, this is not related to the recent events but was further fueled by the owner and what voices are amplified on the platform. I used Twitter to market the UNB store, but since the ownership transition, my efforts on the platform have stayed the same while my results have significantly decreased. I would post and interact well with likes, comments, and shares. Not to mention, clicks to the store have all been reduced to 1-2 likes a post, and there are virtually no clicks on most posts, and the ones that drive traffic are 1-2. At this same time, my referral traffic went from Twitter, the top referer, to falling out of the top 5, and Reddit became the top referring social media site. In September, I dropped all effort for the Unb Store on Twitter.
The following change allows people whom you block to see your posts. This should be a fundamental, essential feature on all social media platforms. I have blocked people I don’t want to see my content or interact with, and their reasoning for this change doesn’t make sense.
The last reason is the ownership and how Twitter is being run. I am going to get political here for a minute: the content that is being pushed on the platform is not in the best interest of a gay man. My vision for the country and the current ownership do not intersect. And I, in good conscience, support a company that is working against the best interests of the LGBT community.
One example is that I recently posted about dumping Twitter on my UNBTIM account, and it got very little interaction. I’m not going to come right out and say the algorithm blocked or made my post less visible, but being a free speech platform, it appears that some speech is more equal than others.
I want to start sending out or sharing undies/gear guys so you know who is on the platform and make it a better community for gear guys. Here is why I think BlueSky is the best alternative
One key reason for my decision to shift to BlueSky is the company’s stance on social issues. Twitter’s current ownership has supported causes that threaten the rights of LGBT people and people of color. As a member of these communities, I can not in good conscience support a company that does not actively work to protect our rights.
If you do join, send me a DM or public message. I plan on sharing all the gear guys on BlueSky. I want to facilitate building a massive community of guys who love underwear, speedos, spandex, and other gear. By the way, I am UNBTim there before I forget.
Several guys already joined BlueSky, and I hope to see more of you there.

In a recent episode of the Brief Talk After Dark podcast, UNB Tim dives deep into the intriguing world of sports gear fetish with Zac, a content creator with a shared passion for the scene. Their conversation explores the allure of sports gear, the personal journeys that led them to embrace it, and the nuanced relationship between kink, self-expression, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Getting into Gear:
Zac reveals that his fascination with gear began in his youth, shaped by his experiences in high school sports. For him, sports were more than a hobby—they offered a way to explore masculinity and connect with his sexuality. He reflects on the sense of community and camaraderie that came with being around teammates and the appeal of jock culture, describing how gear became an extension of his identity.
The Connection between Kink and Gear:
Tim and Zac explore how sports gear ties into broader aspects of kink. For Zac, it’s not just about the gear itself but also the power dynamics and dominant/submissive roles it can symbolize. They discuss how sports gear offers an unconventional way for men to express their kinks while navigating society’s often rigid views on masculinity.
Gear Collections and Managing “Storage Problems”:
The duo shares humorous anecdotes about their growing collections. While Zac admits to needing a storage system for various pieces like jockstraps, socks, and jerseys, Tim finds a unique satisfaction in shopping for items that blur the line between sportswear and fetish wear.
Finding Authentic Connection in the Kink Community:
They highlight the importance of friendship and shared interests within the kink world, stressing that it’s not always about sex. For Zac, the best part of being active in this community is finding friends who respect boundaries and understand the complexities of kink.
Creating Content and Building a Niche:
The episode concludes with Zac sharing how he and his partner Austin turned their passion for sports gear into a successful content venture. Choosing a niche allowed them to connect with a like-minded audience, while also strengthening their relationship. Through humor, candid discussions, and shared experiences, Tim and Zac offer listeners a glimpse into a world where kink is both a personal journey and a bridge to community

Hey everyone, I’m currently juggling three jobs. I know it’s a lot, but I’m doing what I have to do. I’m looking for a full-time job again, but I haven’t had any success so far. I’ve been going to interviews, but I haven’t received any offers yet. (That’s a whole other story I won’t bore you with.)
I’ve been thinking about the direction of UNB since it’s just me, and my time is limited. I’ll be writing more in-depth about the podcast topics we cover. Don’t worry, I’ll still showcase some of the newest underwear, but considering my time constraints, I think this is the best solution. Plus, I can delve deep into topics I want to cover and share my opinions.
I’m moving away from the more journalistic approach that UNB has taken and toward a more personal and opinion-based approach. I’m creating a positive space for underwear guys to come together and share in a place that understands and supports them.
In the past few weeks, I’ve been physically and mentally drained of creativity. It’s not burnout; it’s just that there’s so much going on that when I get home, I crash. I’m constantly coming up with ideas and topics for podcasts and posts, but implementing them is impossible with my schedule.
Speaking of implementation, I’m trying not to podcast much in December since it will be hectic. I’ve already recorded a lot and plan to record more this month. Don’t worry about me skipping weeks without shows; I’ll have plenty.
Also, I want to hear what topics you guys want us to discuss. I have a fantastic group of regulars, which makes me really happy. They have so many diverse views and opinions. I’ll always be adding more guys too.
I’ll also keep you up to date.

MODUS VIVENDI Launches Corduroy Line from FW 24/25 Collection: The Perfect Fusion of Timeless Minimalism and Futuristic Appeal.
MODUS VIVENDI is excited to announce the launch of Corduroy Line, a standout feature in the Fall-Winter 2024/2025 Collection. The campaign, named “Futuristic Simplicity”, draws inspiration from the seamless merging of past and future, creating an aesthetic that speaks to the modern man seeking style, comfort, and versatility.
The Corduroy Line redefines simplicity with a futuristic twist, featuring a refined selection of corduroy designs in velvet-like fabric with bold relief stripes that add a textural element to every piece. These designs come in monochromatic tones of black, grey, and off-white, offering a sophisticated palette that complements any wardrobe. This collection isn’t just about fabric—it’s about creating a tactile experience that combines the rich softness of velvet with the timeless allure of corduroy, providing unmatched comfort and sleek style.
The Corduroy Line was created for the man who values understated elegance without compromising on comfort. The relief detail in the fabric gives each piece a subtle, yet impactful look that is both modern and timeless. Our goal was to design garments that feel as luxurious as they look, while remaining versatile enough to adapt to any occasion.
Key Features of the Corduroy Line:
· Velvet-like corduroy with relief stripes for a textured, luxurious feel
· Monochromatic black, grey, and off-white
· Minimalistic, futuristic, and versatile
· Soft and form-fitting, designed to enhance your silhouette while ensuring ease of movement
Whether it’s the sharp cuts of the jackets, the tailored feel of the pants, or the relaxed elegance of the tops, every design in the Corduroy Line is crafted to provide both structure and fluidity. Each piece wraps the body in softness, enhancing your silhouette while offering freedom of movement.
The campaign imagery showcases a bold vision of the future—clean, minimalist, and distinctly modern—featuring model styled in sleek corduroy outfits that bridge the gap between contemporary and futuristic fashion. The luxurious textures, combined with the monochromatic hues of black, grey, and off-white, offer endless styling possibilities, whether paired with bold accessories or worn as stand-alone statement pieces.
As part of the Fall-Winter 24/25 Collection, the Corduroy Line highlights MODUS VIVENDI’s commitment to creating garments that follow today’s trends while standing the test of time. This collection promises to become a cornerstone for men who want to embrace both minimalism and luxury.
