Looking for a great jock? Our Brief Distraction features the Timoteo Aero Flow Jock in white! The contrasting red waistband makes this a fun jock.
For some reason wearing a thong created somewhat of an exhibitionist of me. Kind of like how when you get a new outfit or a funky new hairdo, you want people to notice and compliment you in the ways you’re trying to stand out from the rest of the pack.
On less than a handful of occasions, I’ve seen a guy on the beach wearing a thong. I’ve always wanted to go up to them to let them know how awesome I thought it was that they had the courage to wear one on a public beach for one and all to see. I envied that courage. To date, I’ve only had the courage to bare my thong on semi-private beaches.
The first time I intended to wear one on the beach I wasn’t sure I was going to go through with it. I put on my blue Joe Snyder thong, one that doubles as both underwear and swimwear. Over that I put on a pair of gym shorts, which felt rather fantastic to wear over a thong might I add, and a light colored summery tank top. I loaded up my backpack with some water, reading material, and hiking boots (I’ll explain) and hopped in my car feeling both nervous and excited.
The beach I chose to go to was a nude beach called Black’s Beach in San Diego, California. I figured this beach offered me the best opportunity of feeling comfortable enough to wear a thong since nearly everyone else would be stark naked. I wouldn’t have to worry about my peers judging me or scaring any kids.
Getting to Black’s Beach isn’t exactly easy. You either have to go to the beach just North or South of it and walk there during low tide or you can hike down a rather steep and rugged trail directly above the beach. Being in my late twenties at the time and in relatively decent shape I chose the trail and hence the hiking boots.
I got down to the beach and it was a perfect Southern California day. The kind of day that would feel real nice on bare skin. There weren’t too many people on the beach because it was still relatively early in the day so I found as private a spot as I could find and laid my towel down. One deep breath and away my shorts went.
It was exhilarating really. My heart was beating out of my chest and I was smiling from coast-to-coast. I laid down on my stomach and just kind of took in the moment. I literally said out loud, “this is awesome!”. The sensation of the gentle breeze and the warm sun on my bum was amplified by the newness of the experience. I laid my head down, still smiling like a complete idiot, and began to succumb to the newfound comforts of sunbathing in a thong.
Oh my goodness, I can hear someone walking down the beach! They’re going to walk right by me! Stay calm. Quit freaking out. You’re on a nude beach for christsake man, relax. Just act cool, no big deal. You’re wearing a thong; showing some skin; so is everybody else!
My heart was definitely racing. I kept my head down but my ears had turned into NASA spec satellite dishes tuned to the direction of the beach walkers. I was just waiting for some kind of whispered comment remarking on how gross that guy is for wearing a thong.
They came and they went. No remark. No nothing. Just casual conversation between two people walking on a beach on a beautiful day.
Every person that walked by, my near heart attack lessened and lessened until my mind and body shifted back to that warm California sun.
It wasn’t long before I had the courage to get up and jump into the surf for a little while. Again, this new sensation of the cool ocean water enveloping my skin uninhibited by board shorts was simply amazing. It was freedom. It was joy. It was self-discovery.
So, I wore a thong to a nude beach. Kind of cheating right? I kind of feel like it is anyway. There is a beach much closer to my house than Black’s Beach. It’s the one I frequent most of the time when I go to the beach. It’s a gorgeous beach with the perfect amount of sandy shoreline in between some pretty cool beachfront properties and the Pacific Ocean.
It was the middle of a work week and I had the day off. I thought it a fantastic idea to hit the beach for a few hours because it was the kind of day where the ocean was calling to me.
Middle of the week. Day off. Sparsely populated beach.
I got there and there were slightly more people than I was expecting. Can’t blame ‘em, it was a postcard day. I searched and searched for a spot I would feel comfortable in wearing a thong. The best I could do was a spot with a solo, 20’s – 30’s, female who was getting some sun in her bikini within about 30 feet. It wasn’t a thong. I’m not sure if it would have made a difference in the outcome, but I thought it worth noting.
Well, I got down to the briefs. I just couldn’t pull it off. It made a huge difference to me that there were more people than at Black’s and that they all had on “normal” swimwear. I agonized over my lack of courage for a little while. But then I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sun.
Someday, I thought. Someday for sure, I assured myself.
So what would it take for that someday to be today? It’s a great question really. I think for me the biggest obstacle is body image. If I feel I look fantastic in a thong then I think I would have way less of an issue wearing a thong more publicly. So I have a lot of work to do, probably mostly emotionally, but also in the gym and in the kitchen. And to be honest, feeling ready to wear a thong on the beach, any beach is a pretty good source of motivation along with my desire to please my wife by wearing one. My previous experiences at Black’s and wanting to see my wife excited about seeing my cheeks on the beach are powerful sources of motivation. My weight fluctuates like the ocean tides and I have been in a leaner form before. So every day I grind to get back to that place of confidence and free-spiritedness that I enjoyed previously.
Am I implying that men shouldn’t wear thongs on the beach unless they’re underwear models? Of course not! This is just my issue. I am straight up proud of any guy, any shape or size, who has the confidence to thumb social protocol and bare those cheeks on the beach.
I often think about organizing a beach day for all the guys, and their girlfriends or boyfriends, in my little corner of Southern California who want to wear a thong on the beach but just haven’t had the courage to. Maybe we can all benefit from a collective source of courageous energy. What an amazing day that would be. Someday for sure.
The thing with saying Someday about this or anything else for that matter is this: Tomorrow, and thus, Someday is never guaranteed. So YOLO man! This goes for me as much as anyone else: Fellas, if you want to wear a thong on the beach, do it! If there are obstacles in your path to doing so, destroy them, demolish them, annihilate them and feel that sun on your buns!

The Sukrew Full Jockstrap was furnished by Sukrew for review.
Rating: 9.4/10
Pros: Great design, Ergonomic pouch design, designed to make you feel sexy
Cons: Not many may wear it to the gym, I had issues getting it on but its user error.
Recommendation: If you’re looking for a super sexy jock. Any jock from Sukrew is for you. The design is made to make you feel sexy. I’m not sure guys will be wearing this to the gym. It’s more of a date night or play night pair. I think fashion jocks are taking the jock to the next level.
Let’s face it jocks really aren’t designed for working out anymore. They are more fashion than function. This is a good thing because there is so much more that can be done with jocks. One company taking their own spin on the jock is Sukrew. I was looking forward to wearing the jock. I have tried a few pairs of Sukrew and the pouch is always amazing.
Before I delve into the review. Let me say for jocks with straps that attach to the pouch like these. I always have issues with. Is it design? Nope, it’s more user error. When I slid these on they felt a bit funky. I messed up the straps (see above) and the pouch felt funny. After a few seconds of adjustment, I got situated. The pouch that I knew from the other pairs became apparent. I really liked the fit and feel.
I wore these to my part time job that is a little more active than running UNB. The support they gave were great. My one annoyance is the waistband kept ridding up a little in the back. I think this was because I had to bend over a lot that day. The pouch feels great. Sukrew has their own design that if it’s not ergonomic it’s pretty darn close.
The design is pretty cool. I have to finally learn to put these on. I don’t have too many jocks like this and I think I can just slide it on like a regular jock. You have to adjust the straps so the fit just right. After 2-3 minutes of me cussing and fidgeting. It’s set up as it should be. The color of the style is black with red. I love how they have the red on the side of the pouch. Sukrew has a really great design philosophy. The design philosophy for this jock is “Designed with an elastic ‘X’ over the pelvis this jock is intended to give a sexual focal point to the garment.” If you don’t feel sexy in this, well you’re not wearing it right!
The sizing is really great with Sukrew. I got an XL and it fit me pretty darn good. It’s been my experience that they are consistent with sizing. You won’t have to worry about sizing from different styles and lines. Everyone I had fit me pretty well.

Gregg Homme is back with a new fun and interesting new line of underwear. Gregg Homme is known for their unconventional designs that can leave little to the imagination. This new line is the Wild West line. When I first saw this collection my first thought it wow those look interesting. The thong with fringe is what really got my attention. The Wild West line is available right now for people to get their hands on.
The Wild West line is made to look like it has been crafted from deer skin. The pairs of underwear are all made with fake suede material. The line comes in brief, thong, and string. The briefs are made in a sumo style so they wrap around your body covering your butt and crotch. That makes the pair more interesting and reminds me of an older time before everything was cut perfectly to fit us. The string features a T-back, as well as a pouch that has a bow in the middle of the top. The thong is the most fun pair with fringe hanging all over its pouch. It features a similar back to the string, just more coverage on the front. The thong and briefs each feature faux leather on the waistband and a metal Gregg Homme label. The string features a fake leather waistband with metal Gregg Homme label on the side. The pairs all come in a tan and black color.
This line is going to be more of a novelty thing to wear when you are having a sexy night. The string and briefs may be able to be worn other places, but the thong with its fringe would be hard to go out in. I think a special someone would find these pairs fun if you were to come out wearing them.
I love that this line brings back the look of Wild West. The fringe on the thong seems really fun and unique. It would also draw your eye to your package for sure wearing the thong. I also enjoy the look of the briefs. They look extremely comfortable and have a style that is not seen anymore. The string looks sexy and fun when you want to show off and have some fun.
Overall this looks like a really fun and unique line of underwear. The sumo look of the briefs and fringe on the thong make these pairs fun to look at. You can get these pairs of underwear right now on Gregg Homme’s website.

The CX01SC was furnished by Cocksox for review.
Rating: 10/10
Pros: Limited Edition Print, Great pouch, Bikini cut, awesome fabric
Cons: Was a bit smaller, can show more bulge than some guys would like
Recommendation: If you love Cocksox these are a must have. The limited edition pair made out of the original style. They fit great with the incredible pouch. They were a little tight when I put them on but really didn’t affect my daily wear.
This year Cocksox celebrated their 10th year in business. In the world of men’s underwear that’s quite an accomplishment. While in Vegas early this year, I heard of this pair. An anniversary pair that would be coming out. It would have words on the fabric that are used to describe Cocksox. The words are pretty spot on for the pair!
The Decadence collection is available in many of their popular styles. Of course, the pair I wanted was the trusty CX01. They fit well, but they were a bit smaller than other pairs. More on that in a minute. However, the print is my favorite. When I was told about it. I pictured a red pair with white and black writing. I wasn’t let down with this pair.
I wore this to work to give them a good work out. They fit like other pairs of Cocksox. They have an amazing pouch that gives you great support. They didn’t bulge as much as I thought they would. Sometimes a pair of Cocksox can make you show off everything to everyone! The pair moved with me and never got in the way. I had to lift and move and be active all day.
Sizing in these were a bit smaller than I am used too. Most pairs of Cocksox fit great. Even if I have worn a size smaller, they still fit pretty well. It wasn’t uncomfortable and I only noticed it when I put them on, after they had been on I didn’t really notice it anymore. Which is fine because I hope to loose weight again and won’t have to worry about these not fitting;!
If you are a fan of Cocksox, the Decadence line is a must have. It celebrates 10 years of an amazing company. Show your love for Cocksox with these!
As most of you already know, we here at UNB are all about empowerment of guys to wear what they want and when they want. Without the preconceived notions of society. It could be a thong, lace, long boxer briefs, jocks, bikinis and the list goes on and on. UNB is open to guys of all sexual orientations, the only qualification is you love underwear!
We have a post called a Brief Tale. This is a post all about our readers. Where you guys can tell how you discovered underwear. You are able to share your personal story with readers who identify with and have lived the same story. It also helps us build a community of awesome guys! We here at UNB like to share but we love to hear from you guys. UNB is just as much ours as it is yours!
We have retooled the questions from two years ago. If you read Jayinca’s post this past week. This is the new format. Also, I had a few of you tell me that his story was very similar to their own. The best thing about underwear is we are more alike than we are different. I have learned that gay, straight and bi guys have such similar stories.
Lastly, this helps us fight the double standard in underwear. Showing all types of guys willing to open up about their undies, empowers more guys to be open with their love as well.
How can you share your story?
Email us at info@underwearnewsbriefs.com for the template. Then get it back to us! It’s that simple. Just be yourself and answer the questions honestly and tell your story. After it’s posted you will get feedback from other guys (especially if you share a social media account). And you just may inspire someone else!
The new Gregg Homme collection is amazing! We are bringing you each pair in our coverage. Or lack of coverage by this picture! It features the Camo line!
Are you a veteran, active military, a hunter, or just a fan of camo? If so Gregg Homme has a new collection for you of camo. The Camo collection offers you seven selections. These are chaps, muscle t-shirt, regular t-shirt, boxer brief, pouch (g-string), bikini brief, and thong. Gregg Homme is a luxury brand known for their quality and great fabrics, so you’ll pay a bit more for their items.
The camo collection features Gregg Homme’s newest Italian mesh fabric. First we’re going to cover some of the items teaming up with faux leather. The first item we’ll look at is chaps. The chaps are the only item that has the faux leather as the feature fabric. Then they are accented with a strip of mesh camo down the outside of the legs. These have a lacing closure at the back along with the classic Gregg Homme embossed patch logo in front. The muscle t-shirt and regular t-shirt use the faux leather for accenting around the armholes and neckline. The last item that adds the faux leather into the mix is the boxer briefs. It uses the leather to accent the leg openings and highlighting the pouch. The pouch is a black knit fabric, so will keep the family jewels concealed.
The pouch, bikini brief, and thong are made out of just the mesh camo fabric. These all feature the classic Gregg Homme embossed patch logo at the front center. With this being a mesh collection, there is sheerness to it. The camo print does do what camo is meant to do and does help some with concealment of what is underneath. This is the type of mesh I like, since it doesn’t tell the whole story.
For me camo brings back memories of my childhood pretending to be in the military. You know being on special forces going on secret missions. Did you do the same thing? If so maybe you should bring back those memories even more with some the items from Camo Collection. Go ahead get that camo on and treat yourself to some new covert operations.
BRAND: Gregg Homme
COLORS: Camo Print
FABRIC: Italian Mesh; Faux Leather
We have been debating doing sponsored posts for a while. We finally came up with an idea that would be good for brands and our readers. Our idea is to promote sales that brands and retailers have on our blog. This doesn’t mean we won’t be doing out Sales Briefs on big holidays. Our Black Friday/Cyber Monday are ones people look forward to all the time. Other holidays such as 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day and more.
How can you tell it’s a sponsored post?
What is a sponsored post?
Why Did you do sponsored posts?
Our content won’t change from what you expect from UNB. Just know many of our 10 AM post will be sponsored. They will say so! Plus, they will be for sales that we know you guys will love as well. So hopefully this will be a Win-Win-Win. A win for you guys to get great undies, A win for us to monetize the site more and a win for brands who will get more sales!
The CX01BD was furnished by Cocksox for review.
Rating: 10/10
Pros: Great fabric, incredible pouch, fun colors and did I say great pouch?
Cons: The bulge may be too showy for some guys, that’s about all I can see as a down side.
Recommendation: This is one of my favorite briefs of all time. I can’t recommend it enough. I think all guys need one or two of these in their underwear drawer. The support given by Cocksox is one of my favorite ever. They know how to make underwear without any straps or instructions to put on. They make a solid pouch that fits guys of all sizes. I say this is a must own pair!
It’s been a while since we had some Cocksox to review. They sent us over about 10 pairs that you will see in reviews soon. It will be split between myself, Beau Briefs and Salvatore. Cocksox being one of my favorite brands, I was really excited to get some of the pairs from the last year to try out. The CB01BD is one I have loved the color
The CB01BD is one I have loved the color combinations. It’s the CX01 brief cut but with contrasting trim. I received the Coral blue pair. Which is a blue on blue pair. But any of the colors would be amazing. The Vivid and Nightfall are two that are bright and fun. If you want a classic color, try the Carbon black. It makes me want all the colors!
Knowing Cocksox like I do, I had to wear these to work. The incredible pouch is something I was looking forward too. I slid on the pair and felt instantly comfortable and at ease. The pouch has been one of my favorites for years. It fits me so well, it’s like it was designed for me. As the day went on I forgot I was wearing the pair. It covered and supported everything.
The fabric is 92% Supplex® 8% Lycra®. It is the perfect fabric for Cocksox. It breathes throughout the day. I never felt stifled. It conforms to every inch of my body and gives the best support. At the end of the day, the pouch is just as supportive as the beginning of the day.
The sizing of Cocksox is pretty much spot on with their sizing chart. You can almost be guaranteed that it will fit. The fabric has some give in case you buy smaller you won’t feel squashed or constrained. I have some a size smaller, that I wear on occasion, that fit good. I wouldn’t recommend doing that but, in my case, if you gain some weight you won’t have to get new undies.
If you’re looking for an amazing pouch and great fabric these are for you. They are stylish and fun. Made to the Cocksox standards!
aussieBum is back with a new range of sports performance undies called Flashr. The name may sound risque but the undies can be worn to the gym! Performance underwear is becoming big business in the world of underwear. Some are made with function over form. We’ve all seen those. If you want a little more form over function this line is for you.
The line consists of a brief and a jock. I have noticed in more sports oriented lines aB is making more jocks and less hipsters. I prefer working out, when I do, in briefs rather than boxer briefs. This is what aB has to say about the new Flashr line:
Stand out of the crowd with aussieBum’s new FlashR undies. These super soft cotton elastane undies come in brilliant optical white with an oversize waistband in blue or black. Flatlock stitching gives the support and durabality you expect, with a sports brief and jock cut giving ultimate freedom of movement. Get them now!
Both the brief and jock have oversized waistband. Which appears to be about 2 inches, give or take. This is also where the colors are located. Each pair in the line is a white body and the waistband color, the writing and stripes, are either white or blue.
The fabric is a 90% Cotton, 10% Elastane blend. Making it comfortable to wear and form fitting. Also, the white will make it easy to wear to the gym. We know many guys out there prefer to wear something more classic to the gym.
Make sure, if you’re an active guy, go to aussieBum and see the Flashr line. It could be in your gym bag for all your workouts.
BRAND: aussieBum

I saw this picture on Twitter from Sukrew. I had to run it. This features guys of different sizes and ages in official underwear images. Sukrew has the amazing Marshall Arkley but it’s good to see other guys. They are wearing the Union Jack collection.

Let’s face it underwear should be a lot of fun. One way to make underwear fun is prints. One company has come on the market with some fun prints. That company is dotwear. Founded by a pair of brothers who wanted to make unique underwear. Something different than what was on the market.
Dotwear believes that underwear gives you confidence as well. “Dotwear boxers will leave you feeling confident in whatever situation you happen to find your pants down.” This is something we support at UNB every day. How could you not have fun in a pair of Milk and Cookie Boxer briefs. Called Cookie.wear. Or a pair of Bluetooth.wear boxer briefs?
The attention to detail that goes into making each pair of dotwear boxers will not go unnoticed – you can feel and see the difference. Each pair is $28.00 and you get free shipping on orders $50 or more. So why not get two pairs! Shop at the Dotwear website.
Gregg Homme is no stranger to Fetishwear. In years past they have used mesh, animal print, leather like, rubber like and actual leather in their collections. This year is no different. The fetish collection for this collection is the Diablo. Diablo is a mix of animal print and studs. That’s right, we’re not talking the guy in the undies, but actual metal studs on the undies.
You may have noticed I said animal print. But, looking at the picture above, it doesn’t look like animal print. The print is a subtle print that can be seen in the light. It’s a black on black print that many may not notice right off as an animal print. They have done this effect before and it’s perfect for the guy who has a bit of a wild side but doesn’t always want to show it.
Mix the print with the studs. Studs have really be part of the leather world for a while. They occasionally make their way into men’s underwear, especially more fetish underwear like Gregg Homme. “Paired with silver pointy studs along the front pouch and faux leather trims, you will stand out.” The studs, I wouldn’t necessarily wear under work clothes. I guess you could but they could cause some strange bulges and such. It’s more of a “at home” or night out.
The Diablo is the line that has shirts as well as underwear. The styles available are Diablo Crop Top, Jock, T-Shirt, Boxer Briefs, Thong, Briefs and Tank Top. Each of them has the same print and studs fashioned to it in some way. I’m glad that Gregg Homme keeps the fetish side in their collections. Fetishwear can be uncomfortable after a while. This is not the case with Gregg Homme. This line is made to be worn our and comfortable for a night of dancing. As well, as a night in with someone or some people who are special. No Judgments here!

Love Clever and don’t want to wait till February for a new collection? You are in luck they just dropped a new mini-collection this past week. They were sneaky in the release, I wasn’t aware it was in the works. The new collection features one thong, new boxer briefs and briefs. As you would expect they have the bright colors and prints you would expect from Clever Moda.
For a small collection, they did a good job in mixing solids, stripes, and prints. It’s more of an addition to the current collection than a totally new collection. One thing I really love about Clever is they create the same pairs in briefs and boxer briefs. Nothing worse than seeing a pair you wish they made in the other style.
All of these styles can be found at Clevermoda.us Clever Collection 2016-3 Page.
Here is the new collection:
Bishop Boxer (2283) and Brief (5283)
Cardinal Latin Boxer (2284) and Brief (5284)
Jasper Boxer (2285) and Brief (5285)
Elite Boxer (2286) and Brief (5286)
Netherlands Thong (1287), Boxer (2287) and Brief (5286)
Ice Boxer Boxer (2288) and Brief (5288)
Background Boxer (2289) and Brief (5289)
Disintegration Boxer (2290) and Brief (5290)

Modus Vivendi has always had a really interesting design sense. They have always said they were influenced by their Greek Heritage. We wanted to ask them some questions about some of the more iconic lines they have released over the years.
Interview with Christos Bibitsos
Tell me something about how your Greek heritage has influenced your designs over the last few years?
The truth is that we are very much in touch with our ancient culture, as Greeks. That has been true since the company began. Ancient Greek culture prized the male body highly. You can see it in sculpture, ancient athleticism and Greek art. It’s one of the main guides in every project we do.
Which of the many Modus Vivendi lines has been most memorable for you, most creative. ‘The Fisherman’, maybe?
There are many interesting designs, really. The most special, the most idiosyncratic? In our Original Collection, I think. But all our projects are all unique. That is what distinguishes us from other brands.
The photographic work seems styled to each collection. Is that a result of collaboration with the photographer on each individual campaign? Or do you allow the photographers freedom to achieve their own creative vision?
First of all, I think it’s wonderful that photographers across the globe have been inspired by our intentions and have given so much of their talent, taking each shoot in a definite direction, while still respecting the basic idea, the basic feel that inspired the design of the line. Every photographer needs his freedom, and this adds to the diversity of our campaigns to date.
Of all the photoshoots, which has been your favourite?
Ah, every one is special, for its own reasons. One particular campaign that represented Modus Vivendi’s style especially well was the retrospective of traditional Greek occupations, ‘Retro Greece’. Winegrower, woodcutter, innkeeper, stable hand, those gave us some great images.
Which are some of the most memorable pieces of underwear from your collections. The leather jock with the chains for example… any others?
I’ve said it many times, but each item in a collection has its own story, an inspiration a moment. But if I had to mention one, the Sumo Brief, or maybe the Converter Boxer. They are so unique. They can be transformed, changed, and this is perhaps a unique aspect of Modus Vivendi.
Some of the latest collections have a more mainstream design aesthetic. Are we going to see more designs that could be considered more ‘fashion’, like The Fisherman?
Your favourite Fisherman is one of my favourites too. Sometimes a look like that can be the basis of an entire collection, as it was for the Leather Look collection. Modus Vivendi is a fashion forward brand and probably always will be. It’s about diversity, and its addressed to people who appreciate that, whether or not they’re on the same wavelength. Over time, our customers have become more insistent about our adding some more mainstream lines to our collections. This way we can address men’s everyday needs in quality underwear. First and foremost, we are a Greek brand. We manufacture exclusively in Greece, using predominantly Greek raw materials. We have some of the best cotton in the world here. If we use it well, we can create some of the best classic cotton underwear there is.
We are showcasing some of our amazing readers. This post we ask Jayinca about his love of underwear. Here is his story on how he fell in love with underwear and some of his favorites currently.
Tell our readers about you:
If you saw me walking down the street I would seem unremarkable. Just your average married 30-something business professional going about his daily business. And in part, that is who I am… in part. But just below the surface, literally, lies a stark contrast to the dress slacks and button-up shirt you see on the outside. Below the surface where one might expect to find your run-of-the-mill black/gray/white boxer brief that you got at Costco in a 3-pack for $20 you might find a ruby red Joe Snyder thong, or perhaps a funky designer Olaf Benz thong.
I’m a straight red blooded American man and I love men’s underwear. I love football, the outdoors and drinking beer as much as the next guy, but I also love underwear. And I’m perfectly ok with that.
When did you first discover underwear?
My discovery of underwear came at a time of great self-exploration. I was in my late 20’s, single, freshly graduated from college with a job with good benefits. On paper, I was off to a great start to this thing called life. Checking all the important life checkboxes. But something was missing. It was during this time that I really put some thought into what I wanted from life besides a college degree and a job to pay the bills. What are my passions besides pizza and football? This question led me on a wild journey exploring things like kink, relationship dynamics, gender norms and open-mindedness.
My exploration into underwear began during this time period suddenly and without reason. I was sitting on the couch watching TV with my laptop on my lap and suddenly I was struck with the curiosity of what it would feel like to wear thong underwear. So, I Googled “male thong underwear” and the rest is history. I was introduced via Google to the many men’s underwear sites online and to all the designer brands that make them. I was completely enthralled. My eyes were glued to the male models on my screen for hours as I browsed countless sites and the underwear within them.
The guys in the pictures looked awesome! I thought to myself, ‘their butts look amazing! Just as good as women do in thong underwear or swimwear.’ This was a concept I had to get comfortable with. Is it ok for a straight guy to say that? Am I really straight? Over time I answered these questions definitely. Of course, it’s ok to say that and yes, I’m really straight. I do admire the male form almost as much as the female form. The big kicker is that there is no sexual aspect of my admiration. Then I wondered why I let a pair of underwear make me question my own sexuality? That’s just ridiculous, and so an exploration into society imposed gender norms occurred and so on.
What was the first pair of good underwear you bought? What made you buy that pair?
I knew I was looking for a thong. I wanted to experience one. I believe it was on skiviez.com that I found my first thong (actually it was a g-string). The brand was Gigo and it had a wide dark metallic blue waist that wrapped all the way around. It subtly delved into the classic v thong shape in the back and became a string that attached to the pouch.
How did this first pair influence your journey into the world of men’s underwear?
I had been tracking my package all day and I knew it had been delivered and that it would be there when I got home. Would it be in my mailbox or would it be on my doorstep? What if it’s on the doorstep and my roommates get home before me? What if it says skiviez.com on the label? These questions started running through my mind and the thought of being discovered brought feelings of shame and embarrassment.
I got home and there it was, right on my doorstep and to my relief my roommates weren’t home yet. I ran into my bedroom like a giddy child sprinting into the living room to see what Santa had left in the night. I ripped open the package and there it was. Wow, it was so small! Such a tiny amount of fabric were my initial thoughts. There was only one thing left to do; I stripped off my clothes, including the black boxer briefs I had on and put on my first thong (g-string. I was intensely excited, a) about finally getting to have this experience, b) it was just so damn naughty! And that was exciting to me. To clash against what society said I should be wearing under my clothes and to be ok with it. It’s my secret anyways and it’s nearly in plain sight, and finally c) the sensation of the string splitting my cheeks was hot. I looked in the mirror with the stupidest looking smile I think I’ve ever worn and was very happy with how the underwear looked on me. I had always been told by girls that I had a nice butt and the underwear just accentuated that.
One thing to note here: body image issues. I have them. While I will admit I’m not fat, I most definitely look nothing like the male models who I had been staring at in the week prior to my special delivery. So feeling like I looked good was huge.
What are your current favorite styles? What style do you wear most?
My current favorite styles are the thong of course, followed by bikini’s and briefs. I guess I’m a minimalist when it comes to underwear. For one, I feel sexy in them and secondly, I find them more comfortable. I don’t like the feeling of the fabric from boxer briefs rubbing against the inside thigh of my pant leg. It makes things feel claustrophobic.
What are some of your favorite pairs in your underwear drawer?
My favorites are an Olaf Benz thong. I don’t know the particular item name, but here is a photo:
And my other all-time favorite is my Turquois Joe Snyder thong:
Are you open to friends or partners about your love of underwear? If you have a partner do they encourage your love of underwear?
My friends do not know about my underwear preferences. I just don’t want to deal with them having to get over that fact and really, we never talk about what kind of underwear we wear so it’s not a difficult subject to avoid. Think football team type of guys. Those are my friends. Oddly.
However, my wife loves me in thongs. In fact, she nearly demands that I wear them. Most recently, she took advantage of a sale on deadgoodundies.com and quite significantly added to my collection of briefs. She then covertly got rid of all my boxer briefs (except the ones I wear to the gym). Her enjoying me in sexy underwear really reinforces the love I have for them myself because now wearing them takes on a whole new dynamic. Not only am I wearing sexy underwear for me, but for my wife as well. All her comments on my sexy bum and the sweet swats she gives me on the butt feel amazing.
Has wearing great underwear boosted your confidence?
Wearing sexy underwear has definitely boosted my confidence. I feel a sexy swagger that I don’t feel otherwise. Knowing that I am one of the few men who get to enjoy what wearing thong underwear feels like makes me feel grateful truthfully but the sexy under-secret is thrilling as well. I walk down the halls at work truly a man on a mission when I can feel that extra boost of sexy confidence.

We are rounding the last part of the World Series. We felt like we needed a TBT that features underwear and Baseball. This picture from Score Underwear (now out of business) which we ran in March 2009 is the perfect picture for today!
