My dream to become a male underwear model Crushed , cruel world

A funny story about an attempt to break into the male underwear biz.



I knew I wanted to be an underwear model since I was a child.

Calvin Klein didn't invent the male underwear model, I did. I knew as a young boy that I possessed the qualities that would have the magazines cringing at the thought of disfiguring any part of my image with a staple or fold. While the other boys were being silly and playing sports or learning math, I was mapping out my path to become the worlds first male underwear model.


It was 1978, the sculpting began

I knew I was different than the other boys. Their jealousy of my physique only served to fuel my desire. Some kids were picked last for kickball due to their lack of athleticism , but I knew it was envy that kept me from being picked instead of the kid in the wheelchair. As I would stand along the sidelines with the girls and asthmatics, I would dream of the day when all eyes would be on me, and my frame forged in the fires of the Gods.


As I got older, the bod just got better

As puberty approached, my body and mind matured. While the other teens were struggling with pimples, unwelcome erections and changing voices, I was hard at work. The physical requirements were minimal compared to the mental fortitude that a dream like mine demanded. Kids across the lunch table would wave ding dongs at me, an obvious attempt to thwart my efforts. I knew I was the template for male sexuality, and the training intensified.


Everyday was a workout

Fun was no longer an option. Intensity was my only friend.

The late teen years....

When my body had become as close to perfect as God would allow. I had to hone my skills as a model. My timing, grace, poise and presentation would need to be on par with my Adonis figure. I was on my way to becoming the complete male.


Everything was coming together.....

With my talents and body peaking, I was ready to take the world by storm. It was 1990 and I was preparing for my first fashion audition. Kmart , in conjunction with the Millsboro rotary club, was holding try outs for models at the county fair. I knew I had to made a grand entrance. Over the years I had become quite friendly with the Jack and Jill ice cream man, and had convinced him to let me use his truck as my chariot. I planned on arriving at the competition dancing on top of the truck. 2 days before the competition while practicing my dismount, my dreams were shattered.....


Tragedy strikes

I suffered a brain injury and a bruised ego

After my fall I was left mentally incapacitated. The months of therapy took a toll on my spirit and my body.

And then the drinking came...

Once I regained my ability to speak, I fell into a slump and began to drink heavily. After years of this destructive behavior I finally ended up being arrested for public lewdness and even at the police station I was a mess.

After serving my time, I becoem a hermit

I spend my days dreaming of what could have been, what should have been.....My only comfort is the attention I get from my online friends who have the compassion to see me for more than my looks. Many encourage me to pick up where I left off , clearly stating that I have the look and that I just need the eye of the tiger back. Little do they know that under these muscles of steel lies the heart of a broken man....the heart of the has been underwear model.

funnebone, I sympathize. I have worked many years to achieve the same level of fitness that is apparent in your photos. But, alas, I am relegated to working in a dusty workshop for a fraction of the income afforded to underwear models. Keep fighting the good fight!

LOL This is hilarious! I thought I was about to give the low-down to some egotistical maniac! Didn't even look at who wrote it or I would have been a bit more suspicious about the whole thing! LOL. Keep on keepin' on!

Funnebone, you have my sympathy and support. I know how hard it must be to have your dream crushed. I think the greatest tragedy here is that the world has been denied your immense talent. I shudder to think about how things could have been if your life had not taken the tragic course it did. I only hope that your hefty talent and enormous spirit will overcome in the end. Don't give up the dream!

Your story is just precious.

Now about that ice cream truck...when I was in highschool, I ran on the "A Team" for class secretary. Our team was pretty sure we'd win, since we had the alphabetical advantage over the "B Team". However, the father of the guy running for president on the "B Team" owned an ice cream business. So the ice cream truck showed up on election day and the guy's dad gave out FREE ice cream. I think you can guess the outcome.

Now that's what's missing in today's politics. One of those Democratic candidates really needs an ice cream truck.

If only you hadn't fallen off that ice cream truck. Imagine the possibilities!

Thank you for your story and your kind words. Sometimes being the B team has its advantages....god what I would do to find a girl who's father owns an icecream truck...

Did you realize that your hub has attracted Google ads for "male underwear models"? I wonder what the CPC is on that, and why anyone would want to advertise for that? Must've been keyword research gone horribly wrong. LOL!

Great hub!

ha good eye! yeah I need to start paying attention to wht ads are showing and what keyuwords I am using...it is going to take me a long time to get rich by selling $4 underwear on ebay!

I didn't mean bad keyword research by you, funnebone. I meant the advertisers! I'm assuming you're not trying to get rich off this hub page in particular. LOL! Sorry for the confusion. But, yeah, not much profit on $4 underwear. Maybe do keywords for "diamond and gold laced" male underwear, or "Gouchi" male underwear? You probably won't get many hits with those terms, but when you do, oh boy, look out! No, seriously, look out! I don't think you or I would want to meet the person searching for those terms. <grin>

If you made it a magazine, it would surely require a 'double-spread' insert! One of those two-page 'fold-outs' might just capture the real you! :) thanks for hilarity!
