    Stretching the Truth – Gear Talk – LycDude

    In this episode of Stretching the Truth Podcast, host UNB Tim engages in a lively conversation with guest Nicko (LycDude) about their shared passion for Lycra and Spandex. They explore the origins of Nicko’s interest in these materials, the evolution of his gear preferences, and the balance between fitness and fetish in the cycling community. The discussion also touches on memorable pieces of gear, favorite brands, and the sensual aspects of wearing Spandex. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of community and respect within the Lycra-loving culture. Takeaways Nicko’s interest in Lycra began during family holidays in the UK. Exposure to sports and locker room environments heightened Nicko’s fascination with compression gear. The Olympics in London solidified Nicko’s interest in cycling and Lycra. Nicko’s first pair of compression shorts was a pivotal moment in his journey. The evolution of gear preferences reflects personal growth and changing tastes. Nicko enjoys the sensuality of Spandex, viewing it as a form of playful bondage. Cycling clubs provide a space for both fitness and community among Lycra enthusiasts. Respect and consent are crucial when navigating the intersection of fitness and fetish. Nicko recommends Under Armour and Amorese for quality Lycra gear. Future aspirations include diversifying gear with tri suits and wetsuits.  Titles Exploring the World of Lycra and Spandex The Origins of a Fetish: Early Influences Sound bites “It does, it does indeed.” “I want more.” “I feel more normalized wearing this.” Links: Social Instagram – www.instagram.com/lycdude NOTE – if reading this after the show has dropped, sometimes the account gets deleted by the social media site.  Support UNB For on going support join our Patreon – www.patreon.com/unbblog You can now Join for free.  For one time support  visit our support page – https://www.underwearnewsbriefs.com/about/support-unb/ You can donate by Ko-fi or Paypal  Or buy from the UNB Store – www.unbstore.com  Gift us something from our wish list – https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/KCJXCDDPU0LI?ref_=wl_share  Buy Amoresy – https://amoresy.com/UNBTIM Buy BodyAware – https://bodyaware.com?bg_ref=7FgHF6QR1x Buy Xdress – https://xdress.com?bg_ref=cG6ohBdgUO Buy Real Men – https://www.rmac.store/TIM77812 Find out More  Read more at unbblog.com Follow unb on Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/unbblog Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/unbblog Reddit – https://www.reddit.com/r/unbstoreandblog/ Follow Tim Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/unbtim Instagrm – https://www.instagram.com/unbtim Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/unbtim BlueSky – https://bsky.app/profile/unbtim.bsky.social Spandex Party – https://spandexparty.com/unbtim Send Feedback/questions to feedback@brieftalkpodcast.com The post Stretching the Truth – Gear Talk – LycDude first appeared on Stretching the Truth Podcast.
