underwear models in catalogues

Very nice indeed! Beautiful models, erotic items.

My friends call me "Mr. Awareness" because I often miss the obvious. I looked for a defining bulge in the guy's boxers, but didn't see one. I wondered why all the fuss. Then I spotted the tip peeking out the bottom. I think it's funny that the people who approved the ad photo didn't see it and it made it into print.

ahhh...but maybe the copy editor did notice and let it go through anyway.

Anyone know if the guy won his lawsuit and, if so, how much he got?

Maybe he should have just been grateful for the free publicity. He certainly had nothing to be ashamed of!

Here's more info.

When I was a teenager, I got a subscription to the Undergear catalogue. For many years, it basically served as jerk-off material for me. One day I was in a new shop that sold adult magazines on the top rack, and they had the Undergear catologue in the gay porn section.

There were a few pics of guys wearing sheer swimsuits that you could practically see through. You couldn't really see much, but the fact that you could see anything at all was a huge turn-on for me.

With regards to bulges, a few of the models impressed me with how stuffed their underwear looked, but those were the exceptions. As a general rule, I always wondered how they could stuff themselves into something so tiny. I'd think, "Where are their balls? I'd be hanging out the sides of that thing, or I'd have to shove my balls up my asshole to get it on, and I'm not that well endowed.

So my guess is that most underwear models are, at best, of average endowment.

What I didn't notice then but I do notice now is how often underwear models have their penis positioned upright or up and to the side. I guess that answers my question about how they have room for their balls (sort of), but I've never liked wearing underwear with my penis pointing up, and even when I'm flaccid the head would peek up over the waist band.

Attached are some of my favorite pics from the Undergear catalogues of the late 80s/early 90s. The first pic is of Spencer Garbett, one of my favorite models. I was saddened to learn that he committed suicide about a decade ago, at the age of 27.

I loved Spencer, and was saddened by his suicide. He was a co-host for a morning show on FOX some years ago. What a hot man.

There are also "falsies" for men, and some models do wear them It's a rubber form that fits into the front of the underwear or swimsuit, and has a subtle "cock & balls" relief on the front.

I love undergear and the other one...International Male. So many of my formative years spent in the bathroom with one of those mags. They often showed bulge and it wasn't photoshopped or anyting.

It seems you guys over the water got luckier than we did in the UK. The Blokes in Home catalogues in the uK during the 80's 90's (and they were blokes- very tame) had pancake flat genitalia, which if you were lucky showed a glimpse of shading... to define the "area"

Was it just me or was that the section we all turned as soon as possible?

I always thought they tried to make it look bigger with socks or something. In this one ad I remember I could see the sock hanging out.

One of my favorite IM models from the '90s is Greg Avedon from Florida. He has his own website and is a very together guy as well as drop dead gorgeous. I still have all of his catalogs - about a 2 year run. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I want to come back as him.

I have very distinct memories of fantasizing about spooning with him, and having him fuck me. In fact, I think he's the only man I've ever fantasized about that way. Back in those days I'd use a dildo and pretend it was him.

It's funny (i.e., odd) because he's bigger (i.e., more muscular) than the sort of guys I usually go for. At the time, Beiron Anderson was more my type (toned but very slim). My tastes have changed over the years, and these days I'd probably pass on Beiron.
