Interesting Historical Information

I really enjoyed reading all of the posts about the history of jockstraps and seeing the magazine advertisements that they had back in the 1950s and 1960s when jockstraps were mandatory attire for P.E. classes in schools. I was on my swim team in high school (Class of 2001), and I recently stumbled on some interesting articles regarding high school swimming in P.E. classes dating back to the 1950s-60s-70s and earlier. In many schools across the USA there was a requirement for all boys to swim naked. I will attach a link that explains the reasons and provides information and data on this topic.

After first learning about this mostly forgotten piece of history, I thought it sounded like it would have been a lot of fun and very exciting to participate in doing. My next thought was that it probably would have been impossible to control or hide my arousal if I had been required to do this activity in high school. I'm not sure how other gay boys reacted to participating in this activity back in that era. I would be interested in hearing comments from any of you who are old enough to have experienced this.

Thank you for this post Jockstrap Fan. I was born in 1959 and I have fond memories of YMCA nude swimming and raising 4 boys (born 1980s to the 90s) and seeing the requirements of jockstraps for sports to "optional" to not even listed as supply/uniform check off. I'll have to start a new thread regarding these subjects. Thanks for the link, i enjoyed clicking and watching it / reading and seeing the pics/videos.

In the early 60's we had a jockstrap check everyday in gym class. If a guy was caught without a jock, he was sent to the locker room to change back into his cloths. He got an F for the day.

In college I chose life guarding and scuba for my pe requirements. On the first day the coach would tell us that suits weren't required, so everybody immediately stripped to just a jock or nude. In life guarding we had 2 interesting rescues. In the cross chest rescue, the victim is placed on his back, on top of the lifeguard. Life guard reaches over victims shoulder, across the chest and grabs victim under the opposite arm pit and holds very tightly to discourage any fighting by the victim. Lifeguard's dick is flopping around under victims back.

More interesting rescue is the tired swimmers rescue. Guard tells swimmer to relax and lay on his back. Guard lays on top of the victim and tells victim to straighten his arms and place his hands on guard's shoulders, then the guard can freely swim breast stroke, with the victim under him.
As you swim his dick is in the guard's chest moving up and down and getting stimulated and often hard. A fun rescue to practice.

Scuba class, it was a lot of hairy hard dicks and balls to watch swinging under water thru our goggles.

Too bad those days are over and guys can't get that full enjoyment from those classes anymore. Everybody really looked forward to those classes with its perks.

Hi SJ. Thank you for finding and posting this fascinating explanation of naked swimming.

I can remember that the summer before high school this was a matter of terrible anxiety for me. I was extremely shy about my body, and when I learned from my brother that the swimming in the nearby high school pool would be nude, I panicked. (Fear of erections especially. )Long story short, I managed to get special permission to attend an older (and much better) high school downtown, one without a pool.

Yes, we had the jockstrap requirement and jock check, which I managed to navigate by wearing mine over my boxers and under the gym short shorts. I was substantially injured in one class, and that proved to be a life saver. In the summer after first year, horrors! Showers were installed. I managed to get a dr's note to excuse me from any more PE from then on, and again short version, I did grades 10 and 11 French simultaneously (10 was ridiculously easy). To this day, I'm amazed at my chutzpah.

Side note: Grade 9 started my lifelong fetish for jockstraps. Sound familiar?

That sounds hot to me! Thanks for sharing info from the 1960s.

So, from what you are saying, it was not a big deal for guys to get aroused during those classes?

The jocks, and tough guys thought of it as a perk to get a hardon and flaunted it. They got teased from the other jocks, but it was all part of the perks and fun. I don't remember any of the super shy guys getting hard, probably because they really couldn't under those circumstances.

In my day we had gang shows and most guys went for the wall head and not the pole showers. However, if you were not fast enough you got a poll head in the middle of the gang shower. Well, we were 14-22 (HS - Collage) and if you soaped up the mid region you usually got hard. Everyone did. They guys at the wall all got hard but did not turn around. We all checked each other out and it was just men being men. We entered one side of the shower and exited the other where the coach was waiting with towels. If you walked out with a hardon the couch would toss you a towel, laugh, and say. "Guess that shower should have been colder.

I wish that was still a thing. All guys swim nude. That would certainly help fix the modesty issue we have these days

In elementary and middle school, we only had the pole showers. Nowhere to hide. You were just facing the other boys, or if you turned around, you faced the boys still waiting to shower. We didn't have wall showers till high school.
