    Also fellow east-coaster. Originally from Newfoundland.

    I'm afraid the best of me in a jock you're going to get right now is the very old photos of me in a white and a black Bike jock in the montage on my profile wall photo above. If you follow my status posts and some of the post in my News and Announcements you'll read that I've been dealing with cancer since late 2019, I have an ileostomy (not sexy) right now and and currently back doing chemo/immunal therapy - so even when I have energy my body positivity is pretty much zilch right now. The cancer is responding well to treatment but keeps reappearing so until that stops happening, my ileostomy won't be reversed.

    So I found this on the web because you got me so horny. I couldn’t think of anything else. I wanted to send it to you before I posted it in a comment to make sure it was OK. You can really see the outline of Paul’s cock

    Of course it's ok! Those two do lots of duo shows for their OnlyFans channels. I didn't mention it as my focus was simply to introduce him. I do link to both of their Twitter accounts whenever I post about them on Twitter where anyone would find links to their OF accounts.

    Although the CB13 gear he modeled was pretty conservative, he also modeled some sexy mesh shorts and tanks from another company (coming soon) and will be returning for another photo shoot for a new brand of fetish jocks and clothing that will have it going full-frontal.

    As with most of our models, we don't want to give everything away during the first shoot! Sort of like a tease!

    Thank you so much I can’t wait to see his full frontal, I guess I’m just a slut at heart! ❤️
    And I hope you’re feeling better today, you’re so sweet and talented I hate to think of you feeling under the weather. Unless you’re feeling up under the weatherman(I hope that helps)
    Just a quick update:

    Not sure how, but I managed to get the new Show Us Your Jockstrap Contest up and running. Looking forward to all the hot photos being posted.

    Didn't get much accomplished this week with the new Jockstrap Central website as my husband (and business partner) Adrian had his second hip replacement surgery this past Tuesday. So I'm playing nurse and doing some of his Jockstrap Central chores as he recovers. I'm starting my fourth chemo session on Tuesday so next week should be interesting </sarcasm>.

    On a good note, I'm shooting a hot new model tomorrow in some new McKillop jocks and a new collection of Raw Studio jocks and gear.

    Cheers,

    John.
    Building the new Jockstrap Central website has been slow going thanks to my chemo treatments but I'm still making progress.

    The checkout is now done but still have to do tons of testing. I've now moved on to the customer portal section. Viewing present and past orders is mostly complete and I'm now working on the section where customers can manage saved addresses. Once done, I'm on to the customer Wish List management section. Hoping to have the portal done by next week.

    After that, it's on to our admin section and then filling in all our info pages.

    I see the end!
    Have to wonder if those models that come in for a shoot after a night of partying appreciate or even notice that I remove/reduce those bags under their eyes?
    Unreal!

    So, I was playing with ChatGPT (again) today and decided to see if it could program. So I asked it:

    "write some code in HTML CSS and Javascript to have a button on a page that when clicked will open up a modal popup with the message I'm Open with an animated gradient background that runs through the colors of the rainbow.

    Took me three tries asking the AI to rewrite the code and it got it. Here's the results. I didn't write a line of code:

    So... we had our friend and ex-model Jack over for dinner last night. He's been a position where he hasn't been able to model for us over the past five or so years.

    Well, things have changed and I think we're close to getting him in for a new shoot! He just wants to work on his body a bit more and get his abs back (I think he's perfectly fine, but that's his decision!) Seriously, the man is looking incredible right now.

    In case you don't know who he is...

    This is the daily bullshit we have to put up with dealing with social media and advertising companies.

    As you know, we've created a very conservative website for our JC Ahtletic products ( jcathletic.com )and we're trying to do some advertising on the AdRoll platform (those annoying ads you see on websites, the ones where you look at a toaster oven and all of a sudden see ads for toaster ovens everywhere).

    Jockstrap Central is far too adult for them and we're ok with that but considering how conservative JC Athletic is, we decided to give it a go - only to have them reject us because a few of our images feature partial nudity (bare bottoms from the side). So, I quickly did a search to find the AdRoll blog where they use this women's underwear/lingerie store as a case study and sure enough, there's tons of shots of women in g-strings and thongs. So, we called them out on it (and accused them of being sexiest) and they refuse to budge. Tell me why one of these images features partial nudity and the other doesn't?

    Also this week, Instagram has just removed another of our images for being to sexually explicit without a method to contest it and given us a warning that they're going to delete our account. Here's the image:

    terrible, but not surprised at selective prudery. Ban Olympics coverage while they're at it, Tom Daley wears significantly less fabric than that. The lack of even a pro forma dispute text box is also a super hostile design.
    No chemo this week, platelets too low (46 eek!)

    So I'm back working on the new Jockstrap Central website.

    Just did my first full pass from browsing products, putting stuff in the shipping cart, adding discount code then on to checking out. Saving a new shipping address, loading a saved shipping address, getting shipping options, paying via Paypal and finally onto the final receipt. page And it all worked! Still some i's to dot and t's to cross but huge progress. Next week I'm going to hook up our own credit card processor (a big job).

    The other HUGE job is I'm having to redo all our product photography. With the new responsive design, all the photos are now larger. So every photo in our current catalog has to be resized and tagged. Usually 9 photos per product and a thumbnail and larger version of each. It's very time consuming but I'm doing a few products every day.

    With that said, when launching new products, with the new site I'm going to save a lot of time as there's less photos to size and tag.
    Well I spoke too soon (see post below).

    I had a very rough week with the chemo. Took me over a week to feel some sort of normal again. I had aches and cramps everywhere, my brain wasn't working, I had moments of delirium and was feeling exhausted, I couldn't sleep despite feeling exhausted.. Needless to say, I haven't been able to do much work (which was worse than everything else).

    Finally called the oncology pharmacist and she sorted me out with the meds I had on hand and almost immediately started feeling good.

    I go for my next treatment on Tuesday and I'm pretty certain I know what to do next time to combat the side effects and expect to only have a day or two out of commission after the treatment. That's the plan!

    I've got two new models lined up to shoot - so I gotta get this sorted so I can get them jocked up (and naked) in front of my camera! ;)
    General update on stuff...

    1. Adrian (aka @Versexx) (the other half of Jockstrap Central and my husband) just posted a poll in the Jockstrap Central News Forum asking for everyone's feedback on some new PUMP! jocks and jock briefs we may bring in. We'd appreciate your feedback. Here's the poll:


    2. Working on the new Jockstrap Central website when I can and am working on the payment section of the checkout process and integrating our credit card processor and PayPal. Loving the new PayPal integration as customers will no longer have to leave our website to pay via PayPal (always a pet peeve of mine).

    3. I finally started my chemo this week and so far it hasn't been too bad. I'm hoping it's not going to impact my work too much other than the inconvenience of going down to the hospital every two weeks. If I'm slow to respond or reply to guys here, that's probably the reason. The rest of the business is running as usual as Adrian is the one who handles the shipping, ordering and customer care.

    4. With the unseasonal warm weather, I can see Spring bulbs starting to show their heads in the garden. A little ray of hope in the dead of our Canadian winter - I'll take it! Can't wait until Spring.
    New Jockstrap Central Website update:

    So, I just spent almost two weeks trying to connect to a new discounted courier API with most of my time trying to get tech support thanks to poorly written documentation. Well, I finally had a eureka! moment and figured it out so I'm once again able to move forward on the whole check out process. Hooking up to the courier API will give customer more (faster) shipping options.

    But instead of wasting time and doing nothing waiting to get replies to my support tickets, I ended up finishing up the new Model Gallery so it not only has the original galleries but I've already added more models and more photos to it (thanks to the new system that allows me to update it much easier than before). Yay me!

    I've also started working on the customer portal section which will include: 1. Review of current orders, previous orders. 2. view, edit and delete saved addresses 3. Wish list / Gift list (essentially two lists: one is personal and the other public. The personal (wish list) is for you to bookmark items you have your eye one. The public (gift list) is a list of items other people can buy you without divulging your real name or address - great for guys with social media followers.

    Unfortunately, I'm not going to make my end of January launch date but at least I'm making good progress again.
    Working on the new gallery for the new Jockstrap Central website and having to go through a lot of old models and photos. Forgot how much I love (and miss) our model Zack Acland.

    (And before you jump to conclusions... he's not dead, just moved back to Australia).

    *The new gallery is looking great. I'm not only populating it with our old photos but I've already added a tons of new photos - and once launched, it will make regularly updating it a breeze.

    No one knows what lies ahead for any of us. Getting a cancer diagnosis is like having a 300 pound gorilla on your back. It screws with your mind and your everyday life. Good news, the cure rates are so much better now. You can beat it! Each day will get better. And soon that gorilla will have to find a new home. Thanks for all your hard work here and look forward to many more years here.

    Thanks so much, Bike57. You summed it up perfectly - it screws with your mind. I had a dark week but now I'm over it and ready to tackle it head-on. Luckily I'm really good as shoving things into the back reaches of my head and burying myself in work - which I love. It's a great distraction on so many levels.

    There's not a day that I'm not happy to start work. Not bad for something I've been doing for 17+ years. This site is another wonderful distraction. I'm in love with the community here.
    Well, here we go again.

    3 years ago I was diagnosed with colon cancer and was doing really well.... until now.

    It's shown it's ugly head once more and I start chemo again in January. Ugh. So much for getting my ileostomy reversed - at least not anytime soon.

    The good news is the chemo I have to do isn't the worse and there aren't too many side effects and I should be able to work through it all.
    New Jockstrap Central website progress report:

    Man, this is a slow process. In the old days, you built one site and that was it. Now you have to build a site that works (and looks good) for a Desktop, laptop, tablet (horizontal and vertical orientation) and mobile (horizontal and vertical orientation). So essentially 5 different websites.

    The homepage is done, the thumbnail pages for brands and categories is done, the product page (with an improved photo viewer) is done. But the most important accomplishment is...

    The search feature is implemented! Took me a week to get it working and to tweak it.

    Now I'm on to the shopping cart page.

    Of course, I'm having to work on this in between all my regular chores for Jockstrap Central - like launching our huge Black Friday sale (it started today).
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Thanks for a great site.

    Thanks, that's so nice!

    However it's not my birthday! I'll gladly have two a year though. I'll tell Adrian that he owes me (another) gift! :D

    My birthday is in April.

    I saw you next to the birthday list and thought it was part of the list. Happy Days anyway.

    That's what I figured. My username and avatar will show up for everyone under the "Staff online" heading.

    Was nice to get the message, regardless!
    Hey John,
    Thank you for letting me know about Trent, still trying to wrap my head around that news. I don’t know if you can or if it’s allowed, but if any hot pics of Trent exist that you might be able to pass along I would be in your debit. He looks exactly like the guy that I lusted for in high school, that I could never have ( I realize that he isn’t because Trent would have to be 50 years old if he was, but the fantasy is nice)
    Bleak and Melancholy,

    Quite honestly, we worked with Trent regularly from 2011 to 2017. As with every model, we find out their limitations and work within them. In Trent's case, he wasn't comfortable with frontal nudity or even modeling mesh gear. Although models change into each garment in the studio, we respect them and either turn away or sometimes leave the room while they change if it will make them feel more comfortable*. We shoot a thousand photos per shoot and have done close to a dozen shoots with Trent so yes, we have lots of photos that haven't seen the light of day but they won't be any more revealing than the ones out there now.

    But, in Trent's case. I love the fact that we have documented his fitness journey. He was just starting off when we first shot him and his body was fit but certainly not remotely like what it is today. He started doing fitness competitions and we'd shoot him during his bulking up period and then again during his "cutting" periods. It's interesting to see the contrast in his body in shoots that were only a few months apart.

    Here's a never seen before photo from his very first shoot with us in an Activeman jock we never ended up bringing in (can't remember why not as I think it would have been very popular!).

    * Most of our models these days do full-frontal and more and stand around naked between garments and we don't leave the room. It seems most of our models these days are exhibitionists. That's just the type of model we attract these days and we're totally fine with that.

    Thanks, it’s actually really interesting to hear the other side of the business. And yes it sounds more like my work, I meant the variety of people part not the nudity and posing part (which let’s get real, most of us would love that at work. Well, I work for a bank so I help a lot of older people so maybe not so much)
    New JC Website Progress Report:

    Designing a responsive website is a pain in the ass. It's like having to design 4+ sites at the same time. But, I'm loving how it's turning out. And it will be mobile friendly.

    I just implemented the new photo viewing mechanism and I'm loving it. Way better then the one on Jockstrap Central now. It's much like the one here on Your Jockstraps but even better.

    This weeks main job was to design the new Model Gallery system. I think you're going to love it. With the new system, EVERY model will get a gallery as soon as we launch the first photos. It will allow me to easily add new photos to each model's gallery whenever I get some extra time to edit a few bonus photos.

    Don't ask me for a launch date, it will be done when I'm done.
