"The straight guys who buy our stuff represent a different version of the same masculine energy and confidence that we embody," David Lauterstein, CEO of Nasty Pig, told the Underwear Expert in May of 2012. "We're less unapologetic, more unbothered about how we portray ourselves. And these guys respond to that -- they say, 'I'm confident, sexy, and I if I like it I'll wear it.'"
