  • This is a fantastic site that I just recently found...def one of, if not the best, jockstrap sites out there....for those with extreme Jockstrap fetishes... and I like my jockstraps well used so lots of those here....Thanks for you hard work and effort.

    I'm really impressed with your work on the forum, site, estore - you are very appreciated man. It's nice to have an e community of guys obsessed with their jockstraps!

    Thank you so much! It's a labor of love for both myself and my business partner (and husband) Adrian. We started our online store 17 years ago and still love everything we do. Building this forum has added yet another wonderful layer to it all and gives us the chance to get closer to our customers and fans and of course other jockstrap fanatics.
    So funny!

    A porn video just came across my Twitter feed and the premise is:

    "Watch me exchange blowjobs with my straight roommate "

    Of course, one of the guys is a model for us and the other is someone we're planning to shoot and I know for a fact...

    They don't live together and neither of them is straight!

    Capitalize on it and get them together for a sexy photo shoot?

    OMG! It's hard enough working with one model at a time and trying to get everything we need shot in a four hour shoot. I can't imagine throwing a second person into the mix.

    It would be fun but I'd also need a bigger studio!
    It's official!

    I've started to design and code the new Jockstrap Central website! Spent the last few months catching up on learning and brushing up on design and coding skills and this week, I started actually coding. I'm so pumped!

    Still going to be a few months to get it all done!
    Yay! Adrian and I got our first Monkey Pox vaccine!

    So far so good, no real side effects except the sudden urge to scratch under my arm and climb a tree.

    I got my first shot a week ago today and I'm glad I was contacted for the opportunity. I really don't want this thing wreaking havoc like COVID so I had to do what I could to ensure my well being and of those around me.

    Here in Toronto, they're giving it to anyone who wants it. I know a few people who got Monkey Pox so I'm not taking any chances. In fact, we were having one of our models over for dinner a few weeks ago and at the last minute, he informed me that he and his partner had had it but said that he wasn't contagious anymore. So we looked it up and found out that if there were still any lesions, you're still contagious - so we canceled dinner plans. They had gotten their vaccine 2 weeks previous but I guess it didn't have time to kick in. They figure they got it during Pride. Luckily, they didn't have it bad.
    I'm back.

    We were in England for a family wedding and then hopped over to Paris for a whirlwind tour of that incredible city. Our first time there and I'm blown away
    It's amazing what we accomplished in four days. No time for debauchery, just exploring and doing touristy things like the Palace of Versailles, Monet's home in Giverny and exploring Paris.

    I'm blown away with how beautiful Paris is from an architecture and planning perspective. It's beyond words. I love Toronto but it's all modern filled with glass and metal and there's no respect for anything old so it's torn down and replaced with sterile skyscrapers. Paris is the complete opposite.

    Can't wait to go back.
    So much pressure. We just (soft) launched our new JC Athletic Air Stream Mesh Shorts and I'm working on the lead graphic for our email newsletter on Wednesday.

    I'm been agonizing over these three options for the lead graphic. The designer in me would go for the first image for it's impact but the third image does a better job at communicating the complete collection of shorts. The second graphic is a compromise between the first and last.

    This is why it takes me so long to get anything done!

    We are so happy with the way these turned out. We even have really sharp custom packaging for them. William was the perfect model. And although I'm still tweaking the new photo studio, I love the quality, lighting and contrast of the photos I got with this last shoot.

    For me personally, it would be #2 with the promise not only of a tempting bulge, but also for the outline of those gorgeous arse cheeks. I love to fantasise/tease. However, the marketeer in me says #3 - unfortunately.
    Kids these days! Can't tell you how many times we post on Instagram and some young guy wants to know a model's Instagram page. When I tell them they the model doesn't have an Instagram page they don't believe me. Wait until I tell them they don't have a Tik Tok either - their world will end.

    The only reason I'm on Instagram is for the business. We get very little traffic from it but the one thing we do get from it is... models. William Miguel, Travis Connor, Evan, Matty and Jacob Chance have all found us through Instagram.
    A new one for Captain Obvious:

    Someone just emailed us at Jockstrap Central asking if we are a gay friendly company. LOL!

    All someone has to do is go to our About Us page to find out that owner John and Adrian are not only business owners but husbands - not to mention, have you read any of my product descriptions? Straight companies don't talk about bulges, back rooms, circuit parties, leather clubs, water sports, etc...
    Unreal. Just found two new more European online stores using our images to sell Meyer Jockstraps.

    At least one of them kept our branding on them. Sent them both removal notices.

    Take your own damn photos!

    Amazing given how hard it is to find jocks in Europe. Even in Britain most sporting goods stores don’t carry jocks or cups (boxes).

    It mostly happens with brands/manufacturers that don't provide their own photos. Most modern designers will give their retail partners photos to use - that's why you'll see the same catalog photos on most stores.

    Meyer doesn't produce photos. Most of the true sports jock manufacturer don't supply photos - so the retailer find ours, steal them and use them. Most will edit the photos and remove our branding. Back before Bike got rebooted, countless stores were using our Bike photos. Same with Flarico.

    And then there's Ebay. It would be a full-time job trying to get all our photos removed from there.
    Howdy John! Just curious how many members the site is up to now? Thanks for everything you do to make this community! 🤠🤠🐷🐷

    You can see for yourself! If you're on a computer or horizontal tablet, click the Home link from the main menu and the site stats are at the bottom of the right column, if you're on a mobile device, scroll to the very bottom of the page.

    There's 1705 members, 889 Forum thread topics have been created, 12, 555 posts/replies made in those threads. Members have made 521 Personal Albums. They have posted 9181 photos and members have made 23,636 comments on those photos.

    Here's a screencap of the site stats (the last part will be different for you as it's your own personal stats):

    Spread the word, lets see if we can get the member count over 2000!

    I long for the days when the Internet wasn't controlled by a handful of corporations who decide what is appropriate.

    Google is no longer a search engine, it's a bunch of ads and links to Google's own properties and the large website's it favors like Amazon, Walmart, Wish and Wayfair. You have to go to the second page of links before you get to any "real" search results. Facebook (and IG) censors men's bare buttocks while allowing fake news, misinformation and harmful conspiracies to run rampant.

    At least Twitter doesn't censor much but who knows what will happen if the whole Elon Musk thing goes through. I don't trust the man.

    By the way, if you want a true search engine that will give you real search results, respect your privacy and won't track you and bombard you with ads, I highly recommend the following (turn off Safe Search in their settings):

    This rant was brought on by me trying to post this to Instagram:

    pump-e-racer-collection-1.jpg

    It got rejected for being too sexually provocative so I changed it to this:

    pump-e-racer-collection-instagram-1.jpg

    That got rejected for the same reason so I finally changed it to this:

    What a waste of my time.
    Just a quick, good news follow up on my health: The biopsy came back and the surgeon got everything, there's no need for radiation (which I was dreading). I have a follow up with the surgeon on June 20th but all should be ok as I'm healing well and as mentioned below, there hasn't been any pain despite sitting on my ass and working every day for hours on end.
    Well, that went well. I'm back from hospital and despite my surgeon telling me I was going to be in a lot of pain, I hardly have any. I'm sitting at my desk with hardly any discomfort. I'm not going to overdo it today but I'm happy. Not being able to work for an extended period of time would have driven me crazy.

    As for the surgery itself, my surgeon is happy, it went off without incident. He feels he got all of the cancer but will know more after the tests come back.

    Managed to squeeze in one more photo shoot before my surgery on Wednesday! Won't get any photos edited beforehand but this will be my inspiration to heal and get back to work - Can't wait to start working on the images of this beautiful man.

    Say hi to Jacob Chance!
    Yay! I'm finally getting my surgery. Not the ileostomy surgery I was originally waiting for (that's been postponed more due to a new complication). But I've been waiting for this new surgery for a few months. A few days in hospital and hopefully not too long to recover at home.
    I hate models that go to tanning beds. Their skin always comes out orange in our photos. Ugh.

    That's rather interesting! I've never used either (tanning booths, or tanning lotions/sprays), and don't suntan all that often, but when I do, it is sometimes fully naked. With summer approaching (hopefully!), it may be time to get some natural suntan colour.

    Here's a prime example of a bad tanning bed tan. This is our model Victor from back in 2006, the year after we started Jockstrap Central. Way before I knew what I was doing in Photoshop. Not only is he orange but check out his ass - there's a vertical white line on each ass cheek that somehow didn't get tanned.

    Ah, the things you've learned over the years, and the knowledge & experience you've built, allowing you now to create truly great pics!
    Look who what I did yesterday! Just shot Travis Connor in a bunch of new Cellblock 13 gear. I also took advantage of having this tank of a model in our studio and shot him in a bunch of our JC Athletic jocks and shorts for promotions. Here's a quick edit on one of the photos:

    By the way, Travis is 6'4" and I wasn't sure if his height would pose a problem in our small studio - but I shouldn't have worried. Sure he could do jumping jacks or even lie out on the floor but we made it work.

    Should be launching the new CB13 gear on Wednesday when you'll get to see ALL of Travis.

    So excited! Brand new model set up to shoot on Sunday. I know he's going to be another fan favorite.
    Hot site - I log in every day!
    Got two questions for the guys:
    1. I don't get it why so many guys post pics in (this site and others) of dudes in jocks that look squeaky clean. Personall I love a pic of a dude in a jock that appears to offer some significant manscent!
    2. When traveling, it would be hot to have a list of hot places to go to wearing a ripe jock for some fun. Maybe there is a list here, if so, I don't know where to find it. I always appreciate a dude in s well broken in strap!
    That's it for me right now - Keep up the great work, guys.

    Both great points. Perhaps better posted in the Forums instead of on my profile wall.

    You could start threads under the General Jockstrap Talk Forum Category - once for each topic you mention. That's what the forums are for - to start a dialog and conversation. If a Forum thread is popular it will stay jump to the top of the Forum list each time someone posts to it.

    Profile walls are more like personal diaries for each member.
    True story:

    We just launched our annual Valentine's Sale. And for the past few years we've called it the

    Get Your Heart On Sale

    with a subtitle of:

    Forget flowers, give a gift that's gonna get you laid.

    Last year after we had launched the same sale, we had a customer email us telling us how upset he as he was a florist and found it offensive - and to remove him from our list and that we lost a customer.

    We tried to explain to him that it's all a bit of fun but he was having none of it. Oh well.

    So this year I've added a * no offense to florists note to our newsletter. Let's see how it goes this year, lol!

    If you've been following Jockstrap Central for any length of time (or read our copy around the site) then you'll quickly realize that we never take ourselves too seriously.

    This is not the first time we got in trouble for our Valentine Day Sale. All I'll I say is... fart jokes are funny. That story for another day.!

    Have a great weekend!

    John.

    Dude, forget that florist. If he can’t take a tongue and cheek joke he isn’t worth bothering with. If you know your man likes flowers buy the damn roses and a jock. In six months ask which gift is more memorable - I bet the jock wins every time!

    I guess it is flattering to think that by your one sale you were able to single handedly effect his floral sales!! Give me a break!!! Why do people need to be like that??? Not to get into politics! but this nation needs to wake up! People are easily offended by the little things for no reason... And why is it offensive to suggest a Jockstrap over flowers??? Hmmm. ????.
    Would love to see you and Adrian in jocks.

    Well, it's not recent but the white jock and the black jock in my profile header is me from many years ago.

    I don't want to get into the details but due to health reasons, I'm not posting anything at the moment. If you're really curious, there's a very lengthy bunch of posts regarding everything I've been dealing with over the past few years (and it's not Covid!)

    John.
    If you aren't putting your socks on like this, you're simply not doing it right.

    Jake,

    I'm the guy taking the photos not in the photos. Lol!

    One day I may take some selfies but right now I'm going through health issues. I've been dealing with colon cancer and other complications for the past few years. When it's all sorted out I may end up taking some photos but I'm certainly nothing like our models. I'm 55 years old and spend much to much time sitting at my desk keeping Jockstrap Central and this site (Your Jockstraps) up and running. The most exercise I'm getting right now is rolling around the floor and taking photos of our models.

    I'm not sure what photos at the "bottom of the page" you are referring to, but if you're talking about the photos here on this page - this is what you call a profile feed. Every member has one. It's more like a diary or posting "wall" where you can update other members on what you're up to, post musings and other members can post on your "wall".

    The high resolution photos I post on my wall are mostly photos of Jockstrap Central models - often when I've just completed a photo shoot or are set to do a new photo shoots with one of our models.

    Hope that clears things up. If not, send me a private message (called a Conversation) and I can help you figure things out - one on one.

    Cheers,

    John (aka jockstrapguy)
