It’s Fetish FRIDAY! How many of you out there are excited? How many are participating? If you aren’t think about doing it next week or on a date! Most Fetish Friday’s we cover something skimpy and small. Let’s face it there are a lot of us out there who love this type of underwear. Bare as you dare as they say. And there is nothing wrong with that at all!
There are other pairs that are considered fetish that aren’t skimpy. When anything larger comes to mind I think of leather shorts or chaps. We aren’t going that far this week but we do have a super fun pair. It’s the Pikante Drako Boxer. What makes this pair so much fun is the sides. Each side has three straps that join the front and back. Which will show off a little skin on the sides!
The Drako boxer is made out of a shiny 95% polyester 5% spandex fabric. It gives it a sort of rubber/latex look. The front does have a contoured pouch that will give you some great support. The back is a full back (well where the straps end) as well. The waistband is a shiny almost metallic Pikante waistband that really off sets the pair.
The color of the pair is something that may throw you. Each side of the boxer is a different color. The gold is gold in the front but red in the back. Where as the black is black in front and white in the back. This design feature really gets the pair off well. It’s creative and super fun.
If you are looking for something different and fun we suggest you check out the Pikante Drako Boxer. Get either the Gold, Black or both! Find this pair at Candyman Fashion for $34.48

Earlier this week we brought you the new Ibiza from Marcuse. They have also released a new range called Peep! The new Peep line reminds me of Lucky Jeans. If you are familiar with the brand when you unzip the zipper it says “Lucky You.” I love that about them. Now Marcuse has brought this fun feature to the world of men’s underwear.
The line is a hipster design that comes in 4 colors. Each one of the colors has a different saying. It again like the Ibiza is fun without being over the top. Unlike novelty underwear this is only seen if you show it to someone. If you don’t want them to see, they may not know there is any sayings written on the pair.
Here is what Marcuse tells us about the range:
Peep – Peep if you’re cheeky! Designed in a hipster style to sit low on the hips, Peep is simply decorated with a printed metallic 3D logo waistband with a cheeky ‘greeting’ under the horizontal fly front. Made with cotton/elastane fabric that breathes, this fun pair of underwear will comfortably showcase your masculinity.
Price – AUD$19.95
Size. XS – L
Colour and greeting
Red – Welcome back!
White – G’day Stranger!
Sky – Hello!!!
Yellow – Enjoy!
Find all the colors and sayings on the Marcuse site!
UnderGear’s time is numbered, from what I gather from my sources. Their social media accounts haven’t been updated since June. As I said in my UnderGear post, it’s sad to see this icon go. There is one thing I know many of you out there will miss. The UnderGear models. They were the first company that I remember people going “Who is that model?”
When they found a great model they usually stuck with them for a few shoots. So there are plenty of pictures on the net of your favorite. I wanted to do a “Where are they now?” post but I was having trouble track down the models. If anyone out there knows one of these guys, let us know we would love to interview one or two!
Christopher Fawcett – Christopher was one model they used a lot in UnderGear. He did both underwear and clothing shoots. On top of that he was in one of their runway shows at a bar in NYC. He has the boy next door looks that made him popular.He was one of my favorites I will admit.
Will Grant – Will is a BMX biker and bodybuilder/fitness competitor. He posed for UnderGear for a swim and underwear campaign. I wish they would have used him more than that shoot! He has gone on to do some more modeling right after UnderGear but lately he’s not modeled any underwear.
Thierry Pepin – Thierry is no stranger to the world of underwear modeling. You probably have seen him do a few of the Gregg Homme campaigns. His tattoos make him pretty memorable. At the end of UnderGear he was often used for all the UnderGear brands.
Radoslav Vanko – Radoslav is one model I found that had no social presence. I don’t know much about him other than some of the swimwear campaigns they featured him in. I also didn’t find where he modeled for other brands after UnderGear.
Adam Ayash – Adam was another model they used quite a bit. He graced the pages of the catalog in both swimwear and underwear. He’s still modeling and embraces his UnderGear past. His Instagram feed has a few #tbt featuring past UnderGear pictures.
James Guardino – James is another one of those guys, you know his face but may not have known his name. James appeared the most when I searched for UnderGear pictures. He’s still modeling in the world of underwear and you will see him with other brands.
Devon Spence – Devon wasn’t one that was too big on the site. He was one of the non-white models they used. UnderGear was never shy to use models from all races. We are glad they included him as a model.
Paul Marron – Is another one like James. He was a staple for a time in the UnderGear catalogue. He appeared regularly in swimwear and underwear. Paul is one that really sticks out when I think of UnderGear.
Joe LoCicero – Joe is one who was at the end of the UnderGear run. He’s been seen by other brands on the market. He’s still working and looks amazing in underwear. I hope we get to see a lot more from him.
They also had two celebrity models.
Philip Fusco – Philip worked with them for a shoot on a roof top. It was one of the editorial campaigns they shot back in the day. Philip continues to work in the world of underwear and has his own line called #philcity.
Scott Herman – This reality start of Real World Brooklyn turned to the world of Fitness. Back in 2008 he did a few pictures for UnderGear. He did some other underwear back in the day including Baskit. In the recent years I haven’t seen him do much for specific brands. He’s now focusing on the fitness industry.
These are only a handful of the models they used over the last few years. Over the history they had tons of great guys who modeled for them. We need to find a new catalogue to have amazing guys model underwear!
Today’s Brief Distraction is one from our 2011 Swimwear Guide. This features N2N Bodywear and model Ben. This was the very first shoot we ever did at UNB. It was shot by Seven Continents Photography.

This is part two of our Model Profiles! This past Monday we ran the post on Morné’s husband Eric Turner. This is his interview. Both are truly amazing guys! I hope we see a lot more of Morné soon. He recently shot for Eric’s underwear line, Oryx!
What was your first modeling job and how did you come to get it?
A: a runway show for Ralph Lauren golf gear. Got it through a small sports modelling agency
What made you want to pursue modeling?
A: I would not say modelling is something that I pursued as such, it was more of a hobby and something I did for fun when I could fit it in around my day job.
Photo by Marc Spielberg
Do you have a shoot that you consider your breakthrough in your career?
A: the very first shoot I ever did, was with Joseph Sinclair. Up to that point I really didn’t believe that I could take good pictures, but after seeing the images from the shoot it changed my mindset and gave me belief in myself. If it wasn’t for that first shoot I probably never would have started modeling.
Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?
A: very difficult to say as they are all fun, but if I had to pick, probably shooting on location in Ibiza with Dylan Rosser. We were basically on an amazing holiday in an amazing place, and shot in some of the most beautiful surroundings in the world. It was also our first experience shooting together, which even tho we were nervous about it at first, it turned out to be a lot of fun and we really enjoyed working together!
Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?
A: I did a shoot in a derelict building outside of London. It was a huge factory building that had stood in ruin for many years. We were in some places high up in the structure of the building shooting some of the raw backgrounds, but with holes in the floor with a clear drop of several story’s, stair cases would just end in mid air and we would have to climb up to get the next floor, even had to walk over a beam with sheer drops on either side of several story’s. It was a health and safety nightmare and in retrospect could have gone horribly wrong, but that added to the theme of the shoot and the pictures turned out great
Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?
Rick Day, Pat Lee and Luis Rafael
What is something our readers don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?
A: i have three passions in life. Animals, playing piano and food. My parents live on a wild life reserve in South Africa which is amazing. The reserve runs a lion conservation program. When I visit them I can spend hours just sitting there watching the lions and there are few things I find more fascinating than that. I also absolutely adore dogs. Even more than people I’d say lol. I taught myself how to play the piano and that is my favourite form of self expression and creative outlet. I just lose myself in the music and can sit there playing until my fingers cramp! Lastly I have a long standing love affair with food. I love being in the kitchen, trying new recipes and cooking for friends and family. Eating to me is an experience that brings people together and not just something you do to survive
What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?
A: Generally I try and eat as sensibly as I can. I avoid fats and simple carbs and eat a lot of lean meats, although I do have cheat meals. When I’m preparing for a shoot, I just stop the cheat meals and start increasing the cardio I do in the morning before breakfast.
Favorite cheat meal?
A: I have a massive sweet tooth and love cake, especially the ones I bake myself. I have a couple of kick ass recipes!
Were you a fan of underwear before modeling?
A: Yes. Especially in photography. I find it incredibly sexy if done well
Looking at your underwear drawer, what is it made up of? % boxer briefs, % briefs, % jocks, % thongs.
A: 50% briefs, 50% trunks
The craziest pair of underwear you have ever worn?
A: a cock sock. They are hideous but funny at the same time
What are your goals for your career?
A: I would like to be in senior management of my company in 5 years, be able to retire when I’m around 50 and start my own charity
What is the best advice anyone gave you when you started your modeling career?
A: modelling has a shelf life. Don’t rely on it and have a career you can fall back on
Were you a big fan of SUPADUPA? if you were the collection is back! They have done a bit of tweaking of the design. That includes a modern update and a more enhanced pouch! SupaWear is known for their fun take on underwear. The SUPADUPA line is the “basics” of the line! We say that because it’s the very clean lines and solid colors. The term basics sometimes scares guys off. They want a well designed pair not one that barely meets the basic needs. But don’t let term basic that fool you, it’s made very well and will fit amazing!
This is what SupaWear says about the new line:
“Introducing SUPADUPA MK2! Everything you loved about the original SUPADUPA is back. Expect a form fitted design, and a low rise waist as well as a lined pouch for extra support and comfort. This collection has been revamped with an enhanced pouch as well as a clean modern update.
Also introducing the jock-brief, a revolutionary jockstrap that gives you the same support and lift as a brief while maintaining everything you love about a jockstrap.”
The colors in the collection are blue, green, red and white. Each style is topped with a SUPAWEAR branded wiasitband. SUPADUPA MK2 is available in three styles. The classic brief and trunk, but this new collection is joined by a jock brief. This is a new cut of the SUPADUPA line!
We hope you will check out the collection. The Brief and Jock Brief retail for $22 AUD and the Trunk retails for $24.20 AUD at the SUPAWEAR site
Monday we ran a model profile on Eric Turner. Today we run the profile on his husband Morné. Stay tuned to find out more about him and if you haven’t go read Eric’s Model Profile. Picture by James Franklin featuring Pistol Pete Swimwear.
I am always happy to seen new lines from Marcuse. The brand has a very unique and sexy style. In their underwear lines they haven’t created many prints. The Ibiza is a really fun and colorful print that I really love. Prints are my new favorite in underwear. More brands are bringing out their creative side and trying different prints. They range from prints like the Ibiza line to geometric and everything in between.
They have tried something new and I think it’s paid off well! The prints are tropical but not to kitchy. I have to say these are my favorite prints of this year! Marcuse is no stranger to making a guy look amazing. Previous collections have always been super sexy but over the top!
Here is what Marcuse told us about the new line:
Marcuse taps into Ibiza, providing the perfect themed look for our brand’s printed underwear. We reckon you’ll soak up the vibe in these classic ocean-inspired silhouette prints, fitted with elastic waistband to hug your masculine waist. Where ever you seek the sun and the pulsating rhythm of life, throw in your pair of Marcuse Ibiza briefs!
Fabric. 95% Cotton 5% Elastane. Price. AUD$21.95 (US $16.05). Size. XS – L. Colour. Orange, yellow, white and sky. Ibiza also comes in a gift box of 4, (one of each colour) and the price is AU$69.95 (US $51.14)
CA-RIO-CA Wear is on fire this year. They did a runway show for LA Fashion Week and now have followed it up with a show in Miami. Their colorful swimwear is prefect for a runway show. Its making me wish I could get a chance to see a show! We will have more on them very soon! But in the mean time enjoy the pics!

UndiesMonday is all about wearing what you love! Its not that you have to wear a fetish pair, a thong or mesh. It’s about wearing underwear you feel great in wearing. Embracing your personal style and loves. Then making sure you wear a very good part on a Monday. Why not make Monday a better day by wearing something that makes you feel amazing!
This week’s pair we are profiling is the Clever X-Long Boxer. Like we said above not everyone is going to want to wear something skimpy. Other guys love boxer briefs and longer underwear. Long boxer briefs definitely offer some advantages over other pairs. They can give you extra support in our legs. I tend to wear them when I”m going to be very active. The tight material makes me feel better while doing more strenuous activities.
Long Boxer briefs are very sexy too. This may sound like a contradiction for me. However, I love how they make the legs look. A guy with great legs will look amazing in these. Especially if you have bigger thighs. It shows off the development without giving the whole package away. Not all guys like showing if all off, they like to leave some to the imagination.
The Clever X-Long Boxer come just above the knee. They are made out of a 94% cotton/6% spandex blend. The pair will definitely give you some support and conform to your body. Available in 4 colors; Black, blue, green and white. You can find this pair at the Candyman Fashion site for $28.48. Check out all the pairs!

Let’s face it sometimes you need fun and different in the underwear drawer. One of those pairs is the Andrew Christian BLOW! Bubble Butt Jock. Andrew Christian is no stranger to creating fun and interesting pairs of underwear. One that comes to mind is the Spider Thong.
You maybe asking what is a Bubble Butt Jock? It’s a take on the classic jock by Andrew Christian. The back has a double strap design. “n three bright colors, each pair features bright neon contrast trim and stitching. It sports our signature extra wide BLOW! waistband for extra support and style and features our Show-It Technology, which is a hidden “comfy cup” that gently lifts and provides excellent frontal support and enhancement”
The colors it comes in are Red/Blue, Blue/White and Blue/Black. Each one features the fun BLOW Waistband. This pair also features the show it technology. If you aren’t familiar its the pouch designed to show off what you have. This along with the back will show it all off.
If you are interested in the BLOW! Bubble Butt Jock head to the Andrew Christian site. Each color retails for $26.40
We hope you enjoyed the Model Profile of Ozzie Totten we ran this week. Also, the exclusive look at the shoot RSH Photography did with him in Male Power! We def plan to see more of Ozzie soon!
In our latest Model Profile we sit down with Maurice Bright. He’s an up and coming model in the world of underwear. Here is your chance to get to know more about this amazing guy.
What was your first modeling job and how did you come to get it?
My 1st modeling job was a swimwear style shoot for Lupo. I got the job by building a solid relationship with Lupo North America’s general manager Malcolm over time and he believed in me before I really did any extensive modeling.
What made you want to pursue modeling?
For a long time I felt like from head to toe I was a rarity in appearance. Attractive enough to fit a “model” mold but unique looking enough to be able to rise in the ranks efficiently given the work.
Do you have a shoot that you consider your breakthrough in your career?
The Lupo shoot, by far. Working with photographer Rawy Rayan to create those images really set the tone for my career.
Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?
My latest shoot for my Chocolat campaign, with photographer Diana Etienne. I really liked that shoot because it was not so “harsh” so to speak, a lot softer and artistic than my previous shoots.
Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?
The Lupo shoot was the most challenging simply because it was a 5 hour shoot in the BLAZING heat haha.
Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?
I’d love to work with Ricky Day, his work his phenomenal. I’d also like to shoot with Luis Rafael. As far as brands, I’m quite comfortable with the idea of modeling for Lupo exclusively to be honest.
What is something our readers don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?
Uhm, I’ve been actively writing poetry for about 14 years of my life now and I love it!
What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?
My diet is more flexible than other’s may think – I frequent Chinese food, Wendy’s and etc. but I make sure these foods fit my macronutrient requirements for the day. I tend to cut out diet sodas as a shoot nears as well. The exercises I do remain the same, lifting heavy but I do add more high intensity interval training like speed clean & jerks to shed a wee bit more body fat if needed.
Favorite cheat meal?
I’ve recently rekindled my love for brownies so yeah, those haha.
Were you a fan of underwear before modeling?
Not really but I’m discovering some really gnarly brands out there so I’m learning more as the days go by!
Looking at your underwear drawer, what is it made up of? % boxer briefs, % briefs, % jocks, % thongs.
My underwear drawer is 70% boxers and 30% briefs but I’m really interested in trying out some jocks especially given my activeness.
The craziest pair of underwear you have ever worn?
Haven’t worn anything TOO crazy to be honest. I’d say these really tight Hollister briefs haha, didn’t really anticipate how snug they were going to be but my thighs and glutes are quite muscular so yeah.
What are your goals for your career?
To be one of the most known muscle models in the world, scoring a slew of work in underwear modeling but also remaining well respected in the fit model community.
What is the best advice anyone gave you when you started your modeling career?
“Don’t ever rush greatness, continuously feed it and be patient about it’s growth.”
(Pics from Lupo swimwear campaign with photographer Rawy Rayan)
This past week we brought you a model profile of Ozzie Totten. Today we bring you a shoot that RSH Photography did for Male Power that features Ozzie. These are super fun pictures! We hope to see more from both of them soon!
We are happy to post some great new pics from Good Boy Gone Bad. They are releasing a new collection very soon! This is the Brock Jock. More to come about Good Boy Gone Bad soon!
Fetish wear is not just leather and black. It can be anything that is out of the ordinary for men’s underwear. That could include lace, satin, latex, rubber or leather. The item we choose for this week’s Fetish Friday is the Body Aware Smooth Satin Bodysuit. This is because we have all the new singlets on the market. But this is something to the next level! It’s sexy and fun.
BodyAware is well known in mixing the masculine and feminine side of men’s underwear. The mixing of satin, lace and more feminine cuts to the undies. They just have fun making undies and guys seem to love it. The Smooth Satin Bodysuit is a pair of underwear and a tank all in one. Except this bodysuit has a thong back! Here is the official description: “Soft, supple and very shiny satin thong bodysuit for men. This superb sport-styled bodysuit provides shape and support with a flattering style that highlights your shoulders, waist and butt. Constructed of smooth satin blend of polyester/spandex that is lightweight and stretchy. Allows you to move freely, without constriction. Center seam down front and back provides perfect contouring and fit. Step-in styling and rounded neckline. Thong back.”
You maybe asking where would you wear it? I guess any you want! It could be worn under jeans and out to a bar. Also you could wear it under your work clothes (suit or uniform), but we would recommend you wearing the white one for that. Other colors may come through!
The time has come for Modus Vivendi to start releasing gradually their new Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 collection. The first line to see from the new collection is a “Flash Line”. The Flash lines, more of which we will see later in the year, comprise limited edition items made exclusively for this season, so once they are gone, they are gone! You can see it here: http://e-modusvivendi.com/gbu0-catshow/mc_FlashLine.html
Giving a hint of what the new collection of Modus Vivendi will be like, this line has some sexy and classic underwear designs. Vibrant colours as well as classic ones in a range of different cuts and fabrics. In this specific line you find white, blue and brown, combined with aqua blue, yellow and orange. There are three distinctive and very comfortable shapes: low cut briefs, briefs and brazil cut boxers all made from the finest cotton.
The conceptual pictures show model Alexandros Kaltsidis in the new designs of the brand, photographed on location in Thessaloniki. The sexy “window cleaner” of this campaign was styled by Lefteris Evaggelou. Enjoy the photos and get these limited edition underwear while there is still stock available!
We love Cheapundies.com! Not only can you get great deals on brands you love, but also they have their own brands at incredible price! This is their new swimwear. We wrote up the Power Swim earlier this month.
It’s Fetish FRIDAY! How many of you out there are excited? How many are participating? If you aren’t think about doing it next week or on a date! Most Fetish Friday’s we cover something skimpy and small. Let’s face it there are a lot of us out there who love this type of underwear. Bare as you dare as they say. And there is nothing wrong with that at all!
