This is a film from the early 1980s. Classic white jockstraps, locker rooms and athletes. https://thegay.com/videos/1134627/locker-ramrods/?promo=31134

Some of us will recall this article from "Esquire" magazine. It was included in the "Super Sports" edition for 1974. The author, James Villas, wrote a remarkable article, starting on p. 235 of the magazine (116 of 206 on the internet post), and jumping to p. 380 (196 of 206). I was finally...

This is an older, Randy Blue video. Cole is a boxer, and in the course of training, strips down to a classic 3" white Bike jockstrap. He starts in the training room, and then spends time in the boxing ring. It is interesting that he continues to wear hand-wraps. Enjoy...

A very funny interview discussing jockstraps, cups, mouthpieces, and whether professional players wear them:

I do not recall seeing this advertisement on any of the television stations available to us at the time, but perhaps some of you will interested to see what Bike Athletic was able to "get away with" on public TV

I am certain that many of you have seen this advertisement, and perhaps like me, quietly removed the printed page from "Athletic Journal" or other publications when this appeared. BIKE introduced the plush Pro 10, and prepared this advertisement showing a naked (and All-American looking)...

Dan LeFebvre authored a book with the French title, "Joyeux Noel". Christian Carion directed a feature-length film adaptation in 2005. Briefly, it is an account of an event which occurred at Christmas in 1914 between the British and French on one side of the war trenches, and the Germans on...

I am certain that many of you have seen this two-page advertisement from a football team uniform dealer. The interesting question is how did they manage to convince an entire football team to strip down to girdles, socks and cleats? And more to the point of this posting, how many of them first...

I am thankful to my parents who very early introduced me to the library, and from there, to the classics of literature. Shakespeare has always been a favourite, and I recently discovered this clip (the full play is likewise available through youtube) from a 1976 performance of "Taming of the...

At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month ... The war which was intended to end all wars was brought to an armistice - a laying down of weapons, and as history has shown, only a temporary cessation in hostilities - and yet to this day, women and men across the globe...

This film is from 1997, and is a very interesting version of playing "strip football". Of particular interest to most of you will be that all of the players are strapped in jocks, and at various points in the game, one or more of the players has been stripped down to only a jockstrap and...

The film includes two clips, one starting at minute 1, and the next at minute 11. Men wearing only jockstraps are playing hand-ball in a court. The upload does not include any information about the date or the provenance of the film, and only says that it is from the 1920s. In all events...

In 2011, John A. Tully authored a detailed history of rubber, both naturally exploited and synthetically manufactured, entitled "The Devil's Milk: A Social History of Rubber". Along with Adam Hochschild's "King Leopold's Ghost" (1998), it is an excellent survey of the world of rubber and the...
