Suspensory Jockstrap
Student Scientist
I really enjoyed reading all of the posts about the history of jockstraps and seeing the magazine advertisements that they had back in the 1950s and 1960s when jockstraps were mandatory attire for P.E. classes in schools. I was on my swim team in high school (Class of 2001), and I recently stumbled on some interesting articles regarding high school swimming in P.E. classes dating back to the 1950s-60s-70s and earlier. In many schools across the USA there was a requirement for all boys to swim naked. I will attach a link that explains the reasons and provides information and data on this topic.
After first learning about this mostly forgotten piece of history, I thought it sounded like it would have been a lot of fun and very exciting to participate in doing. My next thought was that it probably would have been impossible to control or hide my arousal if I had been required to do this activity in high school. I'm not sure how other gay boys reacted to participating in this activity back in that era. I would be interested in hearing comments from any of you who are old enough to have experienced this.
