Empowering. Deeply Revealing. Boldly Erotic.
This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a second skin.
Stretching the Truth is a podcast dedicated to celebrating the full spectrum of spandex and lycra culture — from everyday athletic gear to the bold, erotic, and expressive side of the community. We believe spandex is more than fabric; it’s confidence, identity, exploration, connection, and a shared language spoken by gear lovers across the world.
Our Mission
The world of spandex is thriving online, yet still underserved when it comes to real conversation, visibility, community-building, and resources. Our mission is to change that.
Stretching the Truth exists to:
- Bring together the global spandex and lycra community
- Create open, judgment-free conversations
- Highlight personal stories from everyday gear lovers and online creators
- Explore everything from gear basics to deeper emotional, social, and erotic topics
- Encourage confidence, authenticity, and connection
Whether you’re curious, experienced, or somewhere in between, this podcast is a space where you can feel seen, welcomed, and understood.

What We Talk About
Stretching the Truth dives into every corner of spandex culture, including:
- Gear basics: singlets, leggings, zentai, wrestling suits, performance wear, cycling kits, and more
- Personal spandex journeys & first-time stories
- Confidence, masculinity, and self-expression
- Social events, meet-ups, and navigating spandex-friendly spaces
- Eroticism, fantasy, kink, and play — handled with honesty, humor, and respect

Why We’re Here
At its core, Stretching the Truth is about connection.
There are countless men who love spandex — but far too few places to openly talk about it.
This podcast is part conversation, part community-building, part exploration, and part celebration. We want to make the spandex world feel bigger, more visible, and more united.
Be Part of the Conversation
We welcome guests from around the world — creators, athletes, gear enthusiasts, vanilla gear lovers, erotic adventurers, and anyone with a story to share.
