Divorce rate

[JockbudNYC]

I stumbled across this article and never thought about this before, but in my middle school years mid 80’s jockstraps took a nose dive and were not common at all.
Bike draws a connection between the increasing divorce rate with the decline of the jockstrap.

Divorce rate kills jockstrap sales

Marketing studies reveal a lot about our buying habits. They can pinpoint who buys what, as well as our motivations behind purchases. The studies sometimes draw some amazing conclusions.

What do you guys think?

 

[Opinionman]

This seems like an urban myth. Jockstrap sales were waning well before 1991, when this article was written. Plus, look at how it suddenly switches to advice about 1-900 phone numbers. Seems completely unrelated and therefore makes me wonder if this article is made up (Notice they don't give a name of the "Bike executive":
"The Bike Athletic Co. is known as the jockstrap originator. It started the tradition in 1874, making the straps for bicyclists. Heed 900-number tips."

Whaaa?

 

[ScottTheJockGuy]

I mean it would make sense. Kids usually go to the mom in a divorce. Moms don't know/care about jockstraps.

THESE ARE THE REASONS THAT JOCK WEARING DIED

Jockstrap wearing died during the hippy era. They demonized school athletes because "sports led to aggression", associated with the Vietnam War. Athletes were derogatorily called "jocks". Men burned their draft cards in public anti-war rallys. Women burned their bras in protest against the dominant "male establishment". It was a time of youth rebellion. Hippies were largely pampered upper-middle class kids whose father's worked so many hours there was a generation gap.

A fake article came out in a magazine claiming that jockstraps caused sterility. Absolutely not true. But this alarming article was repeated a thousand times. This was all the evidence that pampered teenage boys needed to hear to rebel against the manly requirement to wear jockstraps for PE at school. Boys claimed, "If you make us wear jocks it will make us sterile and we will sue you." Guys claimed, "It's healthier to hang free and let them breathe". Coaches gave up. The battle cry of the time was, "HANG LOOSE!" That came from not wearing jocks and letting your balls hang free.

Farm kids had to do physical work and didn't have time to rebel. And guys doing farm work are not going to be wearing boxers.

Divorce became common and many boys were raised without dads. Moms didn't understand jock wearing. It was the beginning of the feminization of men.

Today some high schools are requiring jocks for the boys that go out for sports. The era of no jocks proved to cause problems, for the few athletes left in the world. Now the average boy spends 6 hours a day on screen time. Physical fitness is a thing of the past. 77% of young men are unfit for military service.

SCROTAL TEMPERATURE

There has only been one scientific study on jocks and body heat. It said that jockstraps breathed more and keeps your balls cooler.

There are many studies comparing boxers and briefs. Some say that "TIGHT BRIEFS" raise scrotal temperature a slight bit, but not enough to immobilize sperm. More studies say it makes no difference.

If an article suggests that jocks raise ball temperature, they are lying. Check their reference and they are quoting a report on "TIGHT BRIEFS". Briefs, and compression briefs, trap the balls in the whole lower body heat. And their material does not breathe like porous jock pouches.

I repeat that "TIGHT BRIEFS" can sometimes raise temperature a little, but jockstraps actually prevent heating.

Paranoia against jockstraps is total bullshit. Do the research. Think for yourself. Wear jocks. Protect your testosterone and sperm.

BIKE FUCKED UP

With this fear of snugging your boys up, the BIKE company responded by making longer, looser pouches with spongy material that did not support. They advertised, "ROOMY COMFORTABLE POUCH". They no longer provided support, so many athletes switched to wearing snug briefs. This improved but it was too late.

If BIKE had any brains they would have countered the anti-jock bullshit. BIKE should have advertised jocks for the working men of America, who need support more than anyone. Instead their only sales target was school boys.

To blame sagging sales on mothers was partly true. But part of it was sagging pouches=sagging balls. They had no vision. There was a scientific study that showed that snug jock wearing trippled sperm production. They could have touted that. They could have advertised jocks as the most "NATURAL" thing for man to wear and increased their popularity. But their management was the "ESTABLISHMENT" that youth was rebelling against, and these old men didn't understand the changing public, nor the latest science.

Where did you hear that some schools are requiring jocks? This is the first I'm hearing of this.

I live in a tiny rural town in Montana. A student told me that coaches are requiring jockstraps to be on school athletic teams. This was told to me as if they were not the only ones. So possibly other coaches in the region were talking about it. I don't know any more. I think this is good news. Maybe fertility and testosterone levels will go back up.

I really hope this catches on. Our young boys need to be protected.

Now bike is just leaning into jockstraps as a gay cultural thing.

Now bike is just leaning into jockstraps as a gay cultural thing.

You’re completely right about that. Just going onto their new site, seems that way. Mind you, I’m not upset about the fact they’ve been more inclusive, it’s just that a straight Man buying from them again, or a Woman buying a jock for their son, will push them away. The new revamped jocks they have aren’t like the old ones. I bought a couple just to see if they were up to par with other sports jocks I wear on the daily. I don’t like them. I’m not buying from them again until they bring back a cup jock.

I visited the website bikeathletic.com. I only found one rainbow jock that said PRIDE, and one shirt that said BIKE in rainbow colors. The rest looked standard. I don't know how much they are advertising their rainbow jock. Any effort to market jocks for gays will damage sales to athletes.

They are sure making a variety of clothing. Someone must be funding them. I don't expect the business to last. I don't like their jocks. They are new material.

I like Jockstrap Central's new PRO. And I like jockstrap.com's GYM jocks. These support like the old school pouches.

Jockstrap.com is working very hard to appeal to straight athletes and they are selling to major league teams.

I think that BIKE is only going to chase straight men even farther away from Jockstraps by making them more of a gay fetish than they already are.

 

[JockMe]

I really think the jockstrap fell out of favor simply because they were for most boys uncomfortable. I was lucky my first jock fit well. My second jock was the worst…waistband too tight, pouch too rough etc… there was no care as to fit or function.

There were no alternatives or variety in most stores. You bought what they had. There wasn’t any resource to purchase different brands or discuss options as to what was on the market.

Hell, as an old guy who’s into jocks it seems I need to try a bunch of different brands to find what works for me.

So it’s no wonder once my generation hit adulthood they mostly trashed their middle school straps and never looked back. If jocks were made like women’s bras with different waist sizes and pouch sizes and lengths etc… The jock might not have faded in popularity. The old 3 sizes fit all model just doesn’t work well for sales.

I haven't tried the JC Pro yet, but I've got a GYM, that I use as my primary jock. I gotta justify to the wife why I need to buy more jocks .

You do make a fair point. Unfortunately there's no way to test out a particular jockstrap before you buy it, unless a buddy happens to have the same one and let's you.
Luckily for me, when I went for my jock the first time I bought one (so, my second jock ever), it was at Sports Authority, who happened to have an entire aisle dedicated to jockstraps and cups. From much internet research, I knew what I wanted. Otherwise, I have no idea what I would have gotten or how it would have fit.
But even these days, on the rare occasion you find a jockstrap in stores, you have usually one option.

And just like that… John created a website where his high maintenance shoppers could get that info and help each other out and we appreciate it so much. Lol

I agree with your reasons why jocks were not what they were supposed to be. But, I stand my my reasons for the disappearance of jocks too. I did a lot of research on it.

In my town me and my buddies started wearing jocks at 11 years old. We weren't required to until about age 13. Our town only sold them in adult small, medium and large. So our tiny boy's equipment was swimming in our adult pouches. But we were so happy to have become the "big guys" that it didn't matter. We were studs! Supermen! Jockstraps were a rite of passage.

When our equipment finally grew, the pouches were still too loose to do what they were supposed to. The generation before wore jocks, underwear and pants high up on the waist just at the ribs. So the long pouch pulled up high and the bottom cupped the balls. (photo below).

However, our generation moved the waistline down to the hips and so the pouches were too long. BIKE never shortened the pouches to keep up with the times. Some guys wore their jocks high on the waist, far above their gym short's waist band to get support. Most of us just had saggy pouches. But everyone I knew still thought it was a great athletic garment.

Our little town only had one store and they did not sell the youth model. That was stupid because all of us were swimming in the pouches, even after puberty. One boy's dad took him to a bigger town and bought him a youth model. We were all jealous. A few boys somehow got other models. One brand had the pouch made out of the waist band material and it was real snug, like the old military jocks (photo below). We envied those guys too. We knew there were better jocks, but they weren't available for us. So we just made do and dreamed of the day when we could shop for ourselves at a bigger town.

In high school jocks were still popular for active times after school, and always for swimming. In college where you could wear what you wanted, all the guys wore jocks. But by that age we had access to different brands, and in those days many of the brands made low rise jocks with snug pouches that kept your balls from bouncing. We had cars and could drive to other towns, and we didn't have to explain to our parents that we wanted to shop and compare.

When jock wearing died, many companies went under. BIKE and the other brands that survived still had the long pouches. One day I went to a big sporting goods store and asked the young sales guy where the jockstraps were. He took me to the aisle and we talked. He was on his college football team. He cussed jockstraps. He said the pouches were too long and pulled back to his asshole and the back of the pouch got stuck in his ass. He hated jocks.

I have always been a rancher and outdoorsman, so I need jocks all the time and its the only underwear I own. So I spent a lot of my life looking for the perfect jock, or having my wife modify a BIKE on her sewing machine. Some of us went to secondhand stores and found the older, snugger jocks in the underwear bin. Today the world is a wonderful place for a jock wearer!

I am glad that Jockstrap Central and other sites are creating and carrying a variety of brands now, and providing a place where brothers can share their experiences with the different brands. It really helps shopping, and you don't have to travel.

Current photos: Two different pouch sizes. Both are supposed to be "one size fits all". This proves that you have to try different brands.

A BIKE made to wear high on your waist if you want any ball support. It is useful if you have a boner, but otherwise the pouch is too long. (I am semi-hard in this photo.)

Second photo of my old military jock, guaranteed to give snug support for everyone. I am soft in it. It barely keeps my cock in it, but I would rather wear this one.

 

[strapped wrangler]

I gotta justify to the wife why I need to buy more jocks .

"Cowboy-up" bro! You are the ball carrier for the family. Women have no idea how uncomfortable balls can be when things get in the wrong position. Our stuff is our self-esteem. You don't have to explain anything to your wife. That's one thing she can have no opinion on. 99.9% of men with balls will back you; that's your territory. Don't justify it in a whiny voice. Be a man and claim it.

I completely agree. There's many different fitments and it has to be just right. I'm a blue collar working man and regret I didn't find jockstraps sooner. I wear them most every day and miss them when I don't. Hard physical work needs support.

THESE ARE THE REASONS THAT JOCK WEARING DIED

Jockstrap wearing died during the hippy era. They demonized school athletes because "sports led to aggression", associated with the Vietnam War. Athletes were derogatorily called "jocks". Men burned their draft cards in public anti-war rallys. Women burned their bras in protest against the dominant "male establishment". It was a time of youth rebellion. Hippies were largely pampered upper-middle class kids whose father's worked so many hours there was a generation gap.

A fake article came out in a magazine claiming that jockstraps caused sterility. Absolutely not true. But this alarming article was repeated a thousand times. This was all the evidence that pampered teenage boys needed to hear to rebel against the manly requirement to wear jockstraps for PE at school. Boys claimed, "If you make us wear jocks it will make us sterile and we will sue you." Guys claimed, "It's healthier to hang free and let them breathe". Coaches gave up. The battle cry of the time was, "HANG LOOSE!" That came from not wearing jocks and letting your balls hang free.

Farm kids had to do physical work and didn't have time to rebel. And guys doing farm work are not going to be wearing boxers.

Divorce became common and many boys were raised without dads. Moms didn't understand jock wearing. It was the beginning of the feminization of men.

Today some high schools are requiring jocks for the boys that go out for sports. The era of no jocks proved to cause problems, for the few athletes left in the world. Now the average boy spends 6 hours a day on screen time. Physical fitness is a thing of the past. 77% of young men are unfit for military service.

SCROTAL TEMPERATURE

There has only been one scientific study on jocks and body heat. It said that jockstraps breathed more and keeps your balls cooler.

There are many studies comparing boxers and briefs. Some say that "TIGHT BRIEFS" raise scrotal temperature a slight bit, but not enough to immobilize sperm. More studies say it makes no difference.

If an article suggests that jocks raise ball temperature, they are lying. Check their reference and they are quoting a report on "TIGHT BRIEFS". Briefs, and compression briefs, trap the balls in the whole lower body heat. And their material does not breathe like porous jock pouches.

I repeat that "TIGHT BRIEFS" can sometimes raise temperature a little, but jockstraps actually prevent heating.

Paranoia against jockstraps is total bullshit. Do the research. Think for yourself. Wear jocks. Protect your testosterone and sperm.

BIKE FUCKED UP

With this fear of snugging your boys up, the BIKE company responded by making longer, looser pouches with spongy material that did not support. They advertised, "ROOMY COMFORTABLE POUCH". They no longer provided support, so many athletes switched to wearing snug briefs. This improved but it was too late.

If BIKE had any brains they would have countered the anti-jock bullshit. BIKE should have advertised jocks for the working men of America, who need support more than anyone. Instead their only sales target was school boys.

To blame sagging sales on mothers was partly true. But part of it was sagging pouches=sagging balls. They had no vision. There was a scientific study that showed that snug jock wearing trippled sperm production. They could have touted that. They could have advertised jocks as the most "NATURAL" thing for man to wear and increased their popularity. But their management was the "ESTABLISHMENT" that youth was rebelling against, and these old men didn't understand the changing public, nor the latest science.

Dude, I so back and SUPPORT everything you’ve written here. No discredit to moms as they wouldn’t know much about young boys and their needs for a jock. I grew up with a mom and a dad and my father never talked to me about jockstraps and he should’ve as he was a big sports guy in high school, but by the same token, I was way too embarrassed to ask even my father. Things were so prudish in our household growing up… It was our coach in seventh grade PE that made a jock mandatory and he even “demonstrated“ exactly why. I still remember that great eye-opener & Boner-causing experience! I still get hard and drip over thinking of him and what a pure gorgeous male beauty in his late teens he was to a very young boy I was at the time.

My father didn’t either although he was happy to talk about his past quarterback experiences. I wasn’t allowed to play sports so no coach to speak of in that regard.

Sorry to hear that Diego and thank you so much for sharing. I did find my father’s old HS jockstrap in the top shelf of his closet and stole it. I consider that my first one too!!
Did you ever find your dad’s hardcup from football?

No he didn’t keep them. He was a briefs guy. He bought me my first cup and strap when’s random PE teacher decided one year we had to have one. But he just brought it home and gave it to me. No one bothered to make sure I could fit in the cup. I did not fit in anyway shape or form. I had to be completely soft to put it on. Cram my pecker down in the cup after I got it in and delicately tuck my balls in just so, this way the other ball didn’t pop out. It was a mess all year long lol

Lol, love it! I had very much the same experiences too
Just glad my seventh and eighth grade PE coach liked me a lot. He was a great “older brother” and mentor figure to me. He helped me out in a lot of areas. He was straight, but we often showered together which I really liked big time

your first jock/cum experience??

Oh, and by the way, my friend, so sorry you had nobody to help you with your cup experience. That’s sad things are so clumsy at that age The last thing we need is something like that with no help.

Then force the cup against me and pull everything snug so it couldn’t move. It was college before I found out there were different size cups. I was so mad lmao

my father never talked to me about jockstraps. It was our coach in seventh grade PE that made a jock mandatory and he even “demonstrated“ exactly why.

I was lucky. My dad was a jock wearer. He had every kind there was. As a kid I stood eye level to his pouch at the men's changing room at the town pool while he tucked everything in the way he wanted it. I had so much pride in him and I wanted to be like him. I thought my tiny little boy's dick was just as fantastic as his.

At age 11 he was happy that I wanted a jock. I got the only kind they sold in our town. A wide waist band BIKE on a skinny kid! I loved that it showed above my swim trunks!!!! My dad showed me how to wear it. He eventually took me to a town where they sold a dozen kinds of jocks and we looked at them all with everyone in the store watching.

Our coaches required jocks, but never demonstrated how to wear one. Many guys had coaches show put on a demonstration! Hot!

My dad was 100% straight. I thought I was too. In later life I'm discovering a closeness with men.

As an adult I went to my dad's YMCA gym with him and he was proud of me and my fit body. He called me to walk all around the workout room and meet all his friends, when I was only wearing a jock. It was an intimate father-son bonding experience. Back home my dad had me try on all his jocks, one at a time, to see how the different brands fit on my body. And he had me try putting my cock in different positions in each pouch. It took about 45 minutes.

I think this was a very special moment that he would do something like this, because when I mentioned it years later, he denied that we had ever done that. Because dominant society says we're not supposed to share things that intimate.

I think that deep down inside a lot of men would like to share that experience, with a son or a buddy, and for some reason he allowed himself at that time. It was a great bonding moment for me, sharing the pride of our male equipment and jocks that take care of it. The best part of being a man, and we got to share it. I will never forget it.

For those who never had that experience, we kind of get to do that on this site.
