If you’re a gay guy in 2016, chances are you’ve strutted around your place in Andrew Christian underwear while prepping for the third date (also known as the sex date).
Interestingly enough, he’s a regular guy who went through some real struggles on his way to being a gay underwear icon, and Michael Musto learned all about it while catching up with him after a recent event.
The guy practically invented the trashy gay underwear category and still dominates it for good reason. No matter what your body type is, it makes you feel sexy, even if you’re not rocking an 8-pack (we’ve got four at best).
The two men talked Section 8, parties, and whether Christian would ever settle down with one of his underwear model hotties. (Spoiler alert: probably not)
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
AC thinks Calvin Klein is over:
“It’s like your father’s underwear.”
In high school he was pretty much Molly Ringwald in Pretty In Pink:
“I did [grow up poor]. Section 8 and all that. I ate government cheese. The high school I went to was quite affluent and I didn’t have the kind of money to wear all the designer clothes they were wearing, so I had to be a little inventive on how to look cool on a budget.”
He probably wouldn’t settle down with a model:
“I don’t think so. I see myself with a regular guy. I don’t want to feel bad about myself. A guy with terrific body and then there’s me next to him!”
And he loves doing promotional club events:
“Pretty much every weekend, I’m in a different city doing an event. It’s a great way to reach the gay audience. I’m a tangible, actual person-–as opposed to a 2(x)ist or another company that’s just an underwear manufacturer. It’s a great way to meet the actual people who are fans or customers. It makes it a personal experience for them.”
Which is probably why he’s still single:
“Too much temptation, being around hot guys all the time. Maybe it might be time settle down.”
There’s plenty more where that came from over at Musto! The Musical and it’s a great read. It definitely makes us slightly less likely to buy bootleg AC’s on Amazon and Ebay.
Ben Caivano
maybe so, but would he date someone who doesn’t have money? or a fit body? these are the questions we should ask people!!!!!
Andrew Pommier
If he grew up poor why his man panties so damn expensive help out the poor dudes with nice affordable underware

Correction: If you’re a Gay man with a waistline of 36″ or less, you’ve probably strutted around your apartment in Andrew Christian underwear.
Spike
Curious his need to hate on CK and the other brands when in fact his underwear is really nothing more then stripper costumes.

Andrew Christian Underwear is atrocious. Nothing but underwear made for stereotypical narcissistic gay gym rats and porn whores. Most of those styles serve no function other than for someone to get to your junk or ass quicker. Why pay $26 for a 6 inch piece of polyester?
Tobi
2(x)ist and C-IN2 do fantastic underwear ranges, and use men as models. AC not so much, well unless you’re going for that “working” twink look.
Tracy Pope
Good for him. Every business owner SHOULD proudly stand behind their products. That doesn’t always mean it’s a good product though.
Ian Cescu
Nice to know Andrew Christian grew up poor. However, I still am, thus I have never “strutted around” my apartment in his underwear. I can’t afford them.
Scott Redner
If you are under 24 years old and have a bmi rating under 24 he would date you, or at the least pay you to be with him…
Bob LaBlah
I grew up not dirt poor but we sure as heck weren’t rich. But I learned to be accepting of others who didn’t look like I did before the public began to notice.
Zach Bruno
THIRD date? wow, that’s conservativeâ?¦
Mike Hall
He won’t date an underwear model because he’s too busy chasing them around backstage
Stache
@Scott Redner: Yup. No doubt he dates like Davy Wavy picks guys for his videos. Just a real down to earth guy. Lol
Xzamilio
@Tracy Pope: It’s a terrible product… but it’s one that he has found a niche for with young WeHo gay porn stars and Frankie Grande
Xzamilio
And Marco Marco… absolutely sweet man, but those designs are Hid-to-the-De-to-the-Ous
Tim Parker
The underwear for gay douche bags.
sesfm
Hah, as if he has ever in his life spoken to a non-scene gay dude. Fuck people like him who pretend to be down to earth. He makes garbage for garbage people, and helps being gay be even more miserable than it already is.
Scribe38
Jesus if you don’t like the underwear don’t buy it. I don’t, but no need to trash a fellow gay man making cash for himself. I’m more of a Nasty Pig brand guy, but to each their own.

I have never understood the fascination with spending a lot of money on underwear. I mean even for sexy time it’s most likely going to come off and be thrown in a corner unless it’s like a jock strap or something.
NateB79
I also don’t believe for a second that he wouldn’t date the product models. He’s making those underwear for that demographic. Clearly they’re who he’s interested in. He probably selects one for any even he hosts or is invited to.
Bauhaus
I find Andrew Christian hotter than his models.

“Date” You mean the dictionary definition of dating?
“Dating is a part of the human mating process whereby two people meet socially for companionship, beyond the level of friendship, or with the aim of each assessing the other’s suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or marriage. It can be a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by the couple. While the term has several meanings, it usually refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple.
Or the GAY definition of dating?
dating
n. a form of prostitution in which sex is paid for in installments rather than all at once.
n. the process by which you decide whether you hate the other person or not.
Dating Ryan is great, if I buy him two more dinners, he’ll let me F&*K him.

@NateB79: A LOT of his models are Gay/ Gay for Pay porn ho’s. (I would never by anything Ryan Rose was selling. CheeseBall) There’e one guy who works for Sean Cody, named Porter, who also models AC but claims the porn guy is not him, HAHAHAHA! Mental cases.
