This is something Andrew Christian mailed out today. If you are a subscriber to his email list, then you have already received this letter. It seems that YouTube removed his video for TOS violations.
Here is what Andrew Christian sent out:
Dear YouTube,
Your removal of our video “Pink Paradise” and two week block of the Andrew Christian YouTube account has left us feeling unsettled.
There are thousands of videos that target the heterosexual audience currently on YouTube that show blatant female nudity and sexual scenarios with millions of views. (The video links below are examples of the double standard.)
Our video was meant to be a fun way to feature our new line of underwear. We’re disappointed and confused about its removal for inappropriate content when there are hundreds of thousands of videos featuring overtly sexual female imagery. We are a company that only produces menswear, and it feels unfair that our ads are held to different standards for featuring the male body.
There is no doubt in our mind that there would be no issue if the exact same video was posted with female models instead of male. Are you being homophobic or is it something else?
All we request is for our account to be unblocked, and the “Pink Paradise” video to be restored with its original view count so we may continue to regard YouTube as a fair and balanced outlet for reaching our audience.
I am curious as to what you guys think about this issue. I want to hear from both gay and straight guys. Did the video go too far? Did YouTube go too far? Let us know your opinion
Below the fold is a list of videos Andrew Christian posted to show the double standard.
Today’s Brief Distraction is from Andrew Christian. This is part of the Jake Andrews shoot we posted the other day. Some of these are wilder then we would normally post but this one is safe! Check out the video on the Andrew Christian site.
New at Topdawers: the fun new Gladiator Kilt Thong! This rugged rubber-look Gregg Homme features a fully mesh pouch which is bottom center-seamed for added support and comfort, and culminates in a t-back. Completely hiding this is a medieval-style kilt made in a rubber-look fabric with rugged metal rivets on the straps.
Andrew Christian has released another limited edition Pair. This time its the Dusk Brief. The only place you can get this pair is on the Andrew Christian website. Remember his limited edition pairs go fast so hurry if you want one!

Andrew Christian Inc. sends the internet into a frenzy with the release of their viral video, “Freshman Car Wash…Andrew Christian Style,” that features six gorgeous models wearing the super sexy AirSculpt underwear.
Picture it! Men in teal colored AirSculpt underwear, soaping themselves up more than the car itself, complete with booty drops and an opening “Mean Girls” slow motion walk. This vision is set to the sounds of the club classic anthem by Pepper Mashay, “Dive in the Pool.” This video will make you want to run screaming to the car wash to get SOAKIN’ WET.
The AirSculpt is a sporty and comfortable shape, with some added features that are sure to make this underwear an instant classic. This style forms to your body for a perfect sculpted look. The fabric has memory to prevent sagging, keeping your backside looking nice and tight. Need proof? Just check out the backside of guys in the video! The fabric is Micro Modal, which is extra light and so soft you won’t even know you have underwear on!
This style features a fly front for easy access. They also have a pouch for extra room in front, just where you need it, and our proprietary super soft Ultra Slimming Elastic with extra stretch to reduce cinching and squeezing of your waist which reduces the appearance of your waistline. Then you add in the contrasting waistband and piping in bright colors and you have a pair of underwear that will always make you stand out!
Andrew Christian Inc. announces their latest design, the Sweetheart Air Jock, that is a new and PINK version of the very popular Air Jock collection.

The front features the Show-It Technology – which is a “comfy cup” outlined with super soft elastic that gently supports your package to make it look fuller and even hotter! The front, legs, and back are accented by contrasting trim for a masculine sporty look. This body also features a Soft Stretch Elastic which helps to slim the appearance of love handles.
