“when I belonged to a college gym with a fantasy-like sauna (circle jerks almost daily!).” Memories of the USNA and 25 years in the Corps. Young men, sweat — how can there not be circle jerks? Add sex-evoking gear to it, and it’s assured!
“I have ranted and raved in lots of sites about the demise of the jockstrap and the utter, utter, stupidity of wearing fuckin BOXERS for sports. I wish I could understand how we got in this situation, from the days when all guys jocked up for PE or sports to the point where a guy was made fun of for briefs.” Here’s a true story about this topic. A few years ago at CrossFit a younger guy (Millennial SMH) gets a glimpse of either my or my husband’s strap, decides to take us on about it just as we finished the WOD. “Dudes, that’s so OG — nobody wears those anymore,” he says like some ignorant locker room bully. Like most bullies, taking on a guy easily 7” taker than he and I estimated I had 40 lbs of muscle on him too. He’s with a buddy who’s smarter and says to him, “Bro, not cool” then, “Sorry, men,” to us. My husband, the gentleman, says, “Please don’t engage with this ignorant youngster.” Of course I did. I got up in his face, looking down at him. “DUDE! You obviously don’t have much to support if you don’t know the value of a jockstrap,” He literally said, “Huh? What?” A couple of the other guys got interested in the exchange and were hovering. I tell the idiot in my best USMC command voice, “Drop ‘em and show us what you’re working with.” He’s sort of stunned and I guess his buddy wasn’t. The buddy pantsed him just like that. A guy behind me looks at the horrified Millennial who’s clutching at his jewels and says, “Oh, that explains it. He’s got nothing TO support!” The dumbshit wannabe bully doubles down as he got his shorts back up. “What do you old guys know anyway? It’s like circumcision — back when you were born every guy guy butchered. Now we know that isn’t necessary!” Where the FUCK that logic came from I have no idea. Anyway, it’s nonsensical. (Oh, and I didn’t let it stand. I pulled my shorts down then and there, showed the dumbass my very heavily-packed pouch, hefted it for emphasis, then grabbed the pouch and let my junk free. As everything’s flopping out I said, “That’s why REAL men need support, dumbass. Someday when you’re kicking your pea-sized boy-balls with your knees, you’ll remember this conversation.” Oh, and I’m uncut, which seemed to captivate his attention! LOL) But I digress. Seriously? Jockstraps compared to circumcision? What the living fuck have we come to?
Isn't this what the Green Goblin wore when fighting Spiderman?
Nice story and told with some narrative style, I must say!
I love love love the "omnipresent" mother figure in this anecdote. How many boyish America and elsewhere ordered something private like that and sweated it out, hoping to intercept it before nosey mom had to ask questions about balls and stuff?
Is there cups from metal?
This one is plastic
I had one (or a few) when I was a teenager.
Do you remember any trade marks? (Maybe I am not at the top but as a search that metal and cup gives a lot even not jockstrap with metal cup.
)
Boy, this is 40 yrs ago, but I wanna say Wilson and Champion. Totally not sure.Do you remember any trade marks? (Maybe I am not at the top but as a search that metal and cup gives a lot even not jockstrap with metal cup.
