Will It Be The Most Infamous Underwear Photo Of Our Time?

Unless you have been living in a cave or under a rock for the past week or so, then you have probably heard about the storm swirling around the head of Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner of New York.  On May 27, Weiner posted a photo of a man’s bulging underwear on Twitter. Apparently, it was intended as a direct message to a female paramour, but Weiner  accidentally tweeted it to the world.  Ah, the difference a keystroke can make.  The photo was quickly deleted by Weiner, but not before it was re-tweeted and downloaded.


In the wake of the screw up, Weiner first alleged that his Twitter account had been hacked.  Under the mounting pressure of vague answers to the question - "is that bulge you?" - Weiner ultimately recanted and admitted that he had, indeed, posted the photo of himself by mistake and that it was not the only such photo to be released by the Congressman into the Cyber-Sphere.


Whatever side of this "issue" you are on, the fact remains that the Congressman tweeted an underwear pic, which makes re-blogging it here fair game, don't you think?  So, here is what all the fuss is about:

Not too shabby a bulge - for a Congressman.  What do you think?  More importantly, do you think Weiner should resign for sending this - and apparently other - compromising photos to various women (not his wife)?  Does it matter that Weiner, at least initially, was less than truthful about what happened?

Hot Or Not? I Say Not! - UPDATE

As I promised, I found a few examples of some really "remarkable" pieces of underwear to demonstrate my feeling that some of these so-called "sexy" designs for men's undergear have gone too far.  We're guys, after all.  Check this one out:

 

This was featured on a top online underwear seller's website.  It took me a while to figure out if this was actually a male or female being depicted.  Come on!

Or, how about this little number?

It's not only animal print, which is always tacky - but it's really, really bad animal print on top of it.  Grrrrrrowwwwl!  I think not.  We are not Tarzan, and even if we ought to be him, we'd never pull it off in that thing.  That's more like Sheena Queen of the Jungle, which does not say sex me up all night long.


Now, that is not to say that all of the newer designs are bad - some are pretty smokin hot, actually.  Like this one, e.g.:

Ok, so it's fishnet...they're sure as heck aren't hose, are they?  At the same time, there aren't the tired old jocks we were forced to wear ages ago in PE class, thankfully.

As a jockstrapping consumer, I wish that some of these designers would remember that, particularly with jockstraps, you are designing the only truly, 100% male article of clothing.  Please try to avoid turning them into a pair of panties.  What's next little powder blue or pink bows right above our cocks?  Ugh!

Update

The fishnet thing I mentioned earlier today, praising it...can be taken too far.  Check this out -

This looks absolutely ridiculous, in my opinion.  What do you all think?

Jockstrap Junction's Peek Of The Week - New Regular Feature

I love it whenever I catch a peek of a guy's underwear, jockstraps, etc. showing through or under his shorts, etc.  Maybe it's a peek at the gym as the dude is doing situps or squats.  It might even be that a guy is sitting up real straight and his jeans are sort of loose, allowing you to see the waistband of his underwear.  Maybe you can see right through whatever the guy has on because he's soaking wet.  These are "Peeks."

To celebrate these moments, I have decided to start a regular feature called "Peek of the Week."  I am going to start out posting at least one "Peek" pic per week.  I will do my best to post these early so you can enjoy them throughout the week, and will do my best to mix them up so we get a good selection of Jock Peeks, Undie Peeks and various Gear Peeks (baseball, football, rugby, wrestling, etc.)

I hope you like these as much as I do, and please feel free to submit any photos of your own that are hot "peeks." 

Baseball Peek

Since MLB's Opening Day was last week, it seemed fitting to start off the "Peek" series with a Baseball Peek.  I got this from one of the great Tumblr blogs that I follow, but unfortunately, can't remember which one it is now.  If it is your blog, let me know! 

I find myself wishing I was this guy's jockstrap, don't you?  Have a great week everyone! Watch out for those "peeks!"

AussieBum Releases New "Man" Design

AussieBum's New "Man" Brief

Let's fact it, AussieBum is one of the best undergarment makers in the world.  They consistently deliver quality and sensuality at great prices with their underwear and swimwear.  So, what can we expect from their new line, "Man." 

In terms of the styling you may have come to expect from AussieBum, "Man" is definitely different.  Notice anything missing?  Where is the ubiquitous advertising and its accompanying design we associate with AussieBum?  Scaled back and streamlined. 



Of course, simply because they have started a new line doesn't mean that these will be less appealing to gay guys.  If "Man" continues to make our "junk" look like the crown jewels - the way AussieBum's other products do - gay men will come a'buying.

For more information on the new "Man" line, check out the video below.  You can also link to another article from London fashion columnist Msalonen.

Gotta Love Guys With Gear Bulges!

I am adding a couple of new sites to the Undergear Blogroll.  The first is Gear Bulges.  According to the site description, Gear Bulges is 

"dedicated to hot photos of men in revealing, bulging gear (and occasionaly out of the gear). Photos of bulging gear in materials of spandex/lycra, sheer net, rubber, leather will be featured. Speedos, thongs, jockstraps, running tights, shorts, cycling kits, skinsuits just to name a few will be a highlight of this blog."

Gear Bulges offers photos appreciating not only the bulging basket, but also a nice bubble butt.  I have only just started exploring the site myself, but I can already tell you it delivers some amazing pics in its March 11 post entitled "Speedo Butts."  Here's my favorite from the article:

This guy hardly needs any words or advertising on his butt cheeks to draw attention to them, but I am not complaining.  Mesmerized would be more accurate.  Wow!  


The second new site I added is Bulge Freak.  This site states its focus plainly and simply:  it's about guys "bulging in sexy gear."  That's exactly what it delivers.  See for yourself with these ultra hot bulge peek pics, which are only the beginning of a gallery of really awesome photos:

Hope you enjoy these newly added sites.  Stay tuned here, as I frequently add new sites on relevant subjects.  If you have a site, or know of one, that you think should be added, please contact me directly.

If You Like Underwear Ads, Check Out This Link To Some Great Photos

Here is a link I came across via Picasa.  The link takes you to just one of many great albums of sexy male underwear ad photos, such as this one:

If you like these kinds of photographs, then you will want to check out these albums and follow "Into Briefs."

Here is another hot example:

There are plenty of full body photos as well, so if you like to see more of the male form, you won't be disappointed.  There are also B&W photos to provide the sophisticated edge to sexy.

January 2011 Jocks

I think it goes without saying that any one of these guys would be well-equipped to keep a jockstrappin undergear freak warm on a cold January evening...what do you think?

Speaking of cold, it has been really cold here in Nor Cal the past few days, frosting at night, etc.  I grew up in Illinois, so I know winter cold, think Chicago.  But, there is something about winters in Northern California, the damp air, that feels even colder in a way.  Typically, if I don't have to wear clothes, you will find me stripped at least down to the under-layer, whatever it might be that day. 

To put it simply, I've been getting fucking cold! 

Feeling cold in my skivvies got me thinking about a different and not so widely mentioned underwear style - Long John's.  Do any of you like this type of underwear?  It has been around a long time but, for many, it is just not considered as sexy as more revealing options. 

But, it has generally been my experience that a cute ass, long legs, and an enticing bulge will carry things a long way, isn't that right guys?  In the long undie department, I think the Mondo Unico brand shown below is absolutely the sexiest you can buy.  These are sleek - comfortable but not baggy - and definitely are not the Fruit of The Loom style "Long John's" you may remember from the JC Penney catalogs you remember as a kid. 

In addition, with their low-rise waistband, you can still show off all your "ass-ets."  In fact, just looking at the side view in picture no. 3 below is making me feel warmer already. 

Keep warm and sexy, guys!

White Hot!

Go on any website that sells guys' undies, and you will find a lot of designers creating jockstraps and underwear in all sorts of bright colors, wild patterns, and unusual materials.  The photos below are from well-respected designers and are good examples of what I mean:

Personally, and this is just my opinion, I don't find a guy in gold lame' briefs or leopard print anything sexy.  I mean, gold lame' might have been campy on that blond dude in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," but not in reality.  And, animal prints for men's  underwear is just wrong.

In my opinion, when it comes to briefs, I think it's pretty hard to find colors or styles that are sexier than "tighty whities."  I'm a big fan of CK, Aussie Bum and 2Xist, to name just a few.

Check out these "white hot" examples:

In fact, about the only time I think "tighty whities" look even hotter on a guy is when they are wet and see-through.  You know what I'm talking about...like the ones on this guy:

 
So, what do you think?  When it comes to briefs, do you prefer white or colors?  What do you think of some of the new "fashion" styles for jockstraps and underwear?  Do you own any?  If so, which ones?
