Stretching The Truth: UNB Tim x Simon

👉 Stretching The Truth Podcast 👉 Support it on Patreon This week on Stretching the Truth, UNB Tim sits down with Simon, the owner and administrator of Spandex Party, one of the largest and most welcoming online communities for spandex, lycra, wrestling gear, skinsuits, swimwear, thongs, cycling kit, and fetish sportswear enthusiasts around the world. Simon shares the story of how he unexpectedly became the steward of Spandex Party when the site faced possible closure, and how he transformed it into a thriving global community that connects thousands of gear enthusiasts both online and offline. The conversation covers: - The history of Spandex Party and its near shutdown - Revitalizing a 20-year-old community platform - Why community matters more than numbers - Success stories of members meeting partners through the site - The growing demand for real-world meetups and events - The return of spandex culture and why it's becoming mainstream again - Berlin's vibrant fetish and gear scene - Folsom Berlin, Tightstorm, Thongers Weekend, Splash, and other community events - The launch of the Spandex Party Shop - Wrestling singlets, skinsuits, swimwear, speedos, thongs, and future product plans - Simon's personal love of pouches, thongs, and skinsuits - The importance of creating safe spaces for people to express themselves - Future plans for Spandex Party, including enhanced communication tools and potential app development - Why hearing from community members means so much to creators and organizers - If you've ever wondered how one person can help keep a niche community alive and thriving, this episode is a fascinating look behind the scenes of one of the internet's most beloved spandex communities.

Thanks for having me!! It was lots of fun. One remark: even though it says "how one person [...] keep a community alive" it's missing out the fact that a) the community itself has incredibly strong pillars and b) we are a team of 3 currently (hey Ronny, hey Tobi 💪). Looking forward to hearing your comments and your view on this podcast issue!

You all do an amazing job. Thanks Ronny and Tobi.   Also I’m always looking to get more members of the SP community on the podcast.  To share their journey in spandex/lycra or just to talk about incredible gear.  Just send me a message
