As you have noticed this week, the guys are writing about confidence and underwear. The reason I did this post topic this week is everyone has a different story. Confidence comes in many ways. Through good and bad experiences. I”m not going to write a history on how it gives me confidence. I feel I have done that many times here. You can go back and read some archived posts on that.

I want to talk about current confidence. As I am right now I’m not happy where I am physical. I think I’m the biggest I have ever been in my life. There are many factors that have lead to where I am. Which I am dealing with and getting to the point where I want to make changes. It’s a lifestyle change that I need to make. I made it before and got depressed and it all went to hell. A lot of things are changing for the better and I’m starting to focus on health.

Right now underwear makes me feel great because I can fit in it and feel great. Being a bigger size right now there are a ton of undies out there that don’t fit me. Pairs I currently own and certain brands don’t go above 36-inch waist. When I slide on a pair of Cocksox, Ergowear, or Obviously. I get that great pouch and I feel like I did when I was a 31 waist when I was 19 or 20. It reinforces I can still feel good at any size. I think all guys should feel this way. Not just the small and mediums out there.

It also serves as a way for me to get motivated to get back in shape. I see pairs in my drawer and want to wear them. I know the only way to do that is to make those changes. After I start my journey back, It will be a regular feature here. I think we all need motivation and someone in your corner to cheer you on. I hope I can inspire other guys as well. I’m not going to go from out of shape to a bodybuilder. But rather a good weight and healthy.

This is my story. If it resonates and you feel the same reach out!

In August of 2012 at Curve we met with Jam. They were a part of Rounderbum. This was part of Curve. This was also the trip I didn’t realize that the show started a day earlier than I thought. So I had to fly out at 6 AM and go straight to the show from the Airport.

Who would’ve thought that underwear could empower you? The thought never crossed my mind in my teens when I started my journey into the interest of skimpy underwear. I just thought bikinis and thongs were very sexy looking on the ladies. That soon turned into an interest of wondering what wearing bikinis and thongs would be like. I never knew it would lead to more than wearing something I thought looked sexy.

I knew when I slipped on my first pair of string bikini underwear I got at Kmart that there was something special about them. How special I did not know. What I did know is I liked how they looked and felt on and that I wanted to try the others that Kmart carried at the time. When I wore them I always felt great in them. Was awesome knowing I was wearing something I thought was sexy that I never saw other guys my age or any age wearing.

College is when I really got into pursuing the underwear realm. I sought out other like-minded individuals and places that offered sexier men’s underwear online. I got my first thong from Undergear, which was a g-string to try. That stepped up the game even more of wearing skimpy underwear for me. During my sophomore year, I made the ultimate decision to make the complete switch to wearing only bikinis and thongs. No one knew of my bikinis and thongs except my girlfriend at the time. She seemed to be into me wearing them. I was discreet in my changing so roommates didn’t see, which none I’m aware of did find out my choice.

Throughout my journey to the all-out switch, I always knew that wearing a bikini or thong changed my mood. I’m sure I attributed it to a horny teenager and college student. Now I know there is more to it than that. A big thing that a good fitting pair that holds things nicely, moves well with you is it brings on confidence. A pair that makes you feel sexy when you slip it on does wonders to one’s confidence too. Being confident in oneself leads to empowerment.

How has underwear empowered me? Well, here I am writing about underwear. It’s brought me to blogging, which is a bit funny. I always dreaded writing. It took me forever to write things throughout school. Still takes me time, but having a passion for underwear seems to help writing flow a bit better. Guess you could say it has empowered me to be a voice for the guys that do and/or want to wear sexier styles of underwear. Now I can be one of the people that I was looking for when I got into bikinis and thongs. I could probably argue it has helped improve my writing skills too.

Another thing my underwear has empowered me to do is get out of my comfort zone. I’m not one that likes to stand out, which my underwear choice would do. But I’ve come to the point I want to lead by example in my underwear journey. So I’ve started being less concern about who sees me when I’m changing in places like a locker room. I don’t go out of my way to make sure people see me, but I try to be less discreet than the past. The hope is if someone does get a glimpse; it may get them interested in trying something skimpy. This has spilled over to swim briefs too. I finally started wearing them at the local beaches last summer instead of only on vacations. This was the biggest push out of my comfort zone since I’m not outgoing and try to avoid awkward situations. What do you know, I survived the experience. Still, work to be done, but I feel like I’m ready to continue on with it.

My passion for bikinis and thongs drives me to get the word out that they aren’t just for showing off to your partner. This goes for both sexes. People need to know how wearing something sexy for oneself can boost one’s self-confidence, put some pep in that step, and that it’s okay to feel sexy for yourself. Let’s break the societal norms of what one should wear. Start letting underwear empower you and spread it on to others.

What are you guys wearing for Valentine’s Day? This was a fun poll to run. Sorry about some of the issues with the poll. Our poll provider TypeForm updated it’s interface and changed so many things. Including not taking out blank spaces and putting in Option #. But enough of the meta.

Let’s go through what you guys are going to wear!

I love you guys. 21% said they always wear sexy undies regardless of holidays. But 48% of you guys are going to wear something special for Valentine’s Day. 

Well, it’s no surprise that more than half of you guys are going to wear a thong or bikini. Thong taking the top spot surprised me. I was expecting a bikini or brief to take that spot.

Most of you guys are going to wear a spandex pair or mesh. But there is a good portion of you in others picking bamboo or cotton. Two materials I didn’t think of including. But when I think about all the great pairs made in them. I should have!

Where you guys wearing them. Most are going to spend it at home but a few of you are going out on the town.

The most of you guys are married but you single guys are representing! It proves that you wear undies regardless of if you’re single or married.

Some of the brands you guys will be wearing are:

• 2(X)Ist
• A Brand from my work (I want to know who you work for!!!)
• Andrew Christian
• aussieBum
• Baskit
• Calvin Klien or Andrew Christian
• Garçon Model
• Gregg Homme
• Gregg Homme or Candyman
• Joe Snyder
• N2N Bodywear
• Nasty Pig
• Not Sure yet
• Not sure yet, but definitely a thong
• Sukrew
• Toot
• Whatever is next in line in the drawer

This is the part that shows you guys are your own man. However, I felt we would have some guys letting their partner pick out a pair. But alas, no one did!

We hope you enjoy these results and have an awesome Valentine’s Day. I will be spending it in Vegas, which there could be worse places to spend it.

Do you remember the Valentine’s Guide we shot? WHEW this was a shoot that had a lot of underwear, a model who fell out at the last minute and a rush to get done! We hope you enjoy this look back.

Valentine’s Day is about love and passion! Some of us will have it and others of us will celebrate Singles Day! This post you have me the single guy giving you two recommendations and Osgon and UNB Ryan who each has a significant other give his suggestions. Don’t be sad I’m used to the single life! And dating will happen when it happens.

UNB Tim’s Recommendation

Just because you are single doesn’t mean you can’t wear great undies. I have two suggestions for you for the big night of watching Netflixing and chilling alone. The first pair is the Cocksox CX01 Bikini. This is hands down one of the best pairs to make you feel great. The bikini gives what you got a bit of a lift and shows it off! The fabric is amazing and fits very well. It’s super fun and I feel super sexy when I wear them.

Another pair that I LOVE is another bikini! It’s the Ergowear Suave X3D Bikini. The X3D is my favorite pouch. Followed by the Max and Feel pouches. The pouch is great but the fabric really makes the Suave collection. It’s amazingly soft and feels amazing on you. Those are the two things that I look for most!

Being single isn’t about not wearing great underwear because no one will see it. You know you are wearing it! So break it out and enjoy!

Osgon’s Recommendations 

I’ve always viewed Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to try a new and daring pair of underwear.  This might include a designer that’s new to me, or it might be a style that I don’t wear on a typical day.  I also use VD as an excuse to spend a little more on a pair of underwear, especially if I think my husband might appreciate my extra effort.

In past years my selections included a variety of jocks, thongs and g-strings in varying fabrics and colors.  Silk, cotton, microfiber, pleather, and even leather have made a Valentine’s Day appearance.  A favorite from many years ago was a red silk contour thong from the now gone Undergear.

If you’ve never tried silk, you should.  Silk is always appropriate for special occasions such as Valentine’s Day.  It’s a sexy, unisex fabric.  Whether you choose a boxer, bikini, thong, or g-string silhouette, silk provides a smoothness and a coolness next to your skin that is unmatched.

If you’re looking to step outside your comfort zone and try silk underwear, online Retailer His Room currently offers two different silk knit thongs by Magic Silk.  I recommend both.  The first (featuring a moniker waistband) is on sale for $16.10.  The second (without a branded waistband) sells for $15.75.

Other silhouettes and colors are also available at www.hisroom.com at varying prices.

UNB Ryan recommendation

I don’t get too excited about Valentine’s Day, but will absolutely use it as another excuse to buy some new cute underwear. If you’ve read anything I have written in the past you’ll know that my favorite thing to wear is a thong, both as underwear and swimwear. Unfortunately living in North Carolina it’s gonna be too cold to wear my swim thong on Valentine’s Day so I’ll have to settle for a sexy pair under my pants!

For this Valentine’s Day I plan to wear my white Joe Snyder Sock It Thong. It is crafted out of white lace, which is perfect for a sext Valentine’s Day surprise for your spouse or partner. I am married, and try to think about what my wife will like to see me in when picking out a date night outfit. Picking out my underwear is the first step. First, I always pick something that suits my mood and what we’ll be doing. Next, I always try to find something that will be exciting for her to see me in! Last, I always want something that accentuates my better features. For me I definitely think that’s my booty!

I found the Joe Snyder Sock-It thong on https://joe-snyder.us/onestepcheckout/index/. It currently retails for $30.
