Younger Generation Wearing Jocks?

[swimboy]

I've realized that there seems to be an age gap among guys who wear jocks. I know a while ago jockstraps were a very normal thing and practically everyone wore them to work out and whatnot. However, I am a college student and I almost never see guys wearing jocks in the locker room which makes me self-conscious whenever I'm wearing one. It also seems like a lot of people in this forum are from that time period when wearing jocks was normal. Are there any other younger people in this forum who feel the same way or like jocks as much as I do?

Keep up the good work bro. If your teammates or friends ask why you wear a jockstrap, tell them about the importance of protecting their boys, so they can properly use them.

I'm 40. Similar here. I wear jocks often as undies and always to the gym. Usually I'm the only one.

40 here also too. Grew up wearing jocks all the time in school but definitely wasn't the same everywhere else too.

Excellent! Welcome here! Looking forward to seeing your posts...and a photo or two of your jockstrap collection! Perhaps more...

I’m 21 and get incredibly turned on by athletic jocks, not to mention the flexibility during workouts

Being fucked in one is very sexi!

Well I'm far from young but here's my 5¢ worth anyway.....
Young people are so propagandized by the Advertising Anschluß (TV, SocialMedia, and Profit-hungry BigBoxChains) that they're incapable of even the most basic Critical Thinking and unable to make rational choices — their brains being overloaded with an absurd Fashion Fetish. There's only so much you can charge for a JOCK — even a «fashion» model. There's a lot more PROFIT in Fashion Garments (just look at the astronomical profits of LuluLemon!) «Fitting In» means wearing what all the Entitlement «BeautifulPeople» Hollywood and ProSports types wear. It's the same mindless caving to fashion which makes women destroy their feet to have the «tallest» heels. Likewise the balls-crushing so-called Compression Shorts. If I learned anything as I've aged is that the COMFORT and PROTECTION provided by JOCKS and proper CUPS is the trademark of SENSIBLE athletes. The professionals who allow themselves to become prostituting lobbyists by wearing those ridiculously bulky, ugly, and ball-crushing garments get what they deserve! There's a SECOND reason: Many guy's tight genital geography makes a jock pretty well superfluous; and, there are so many really supportive, and supremely comfortable THONGS, BRIEFS, and TRUNKS [c.f. COCKSOX) that it's just easier to wear one of those unless a CUP is needed — then enter the well-constructed JOCK and well-engineered CUP and «holder».

I am from the era where when you were in the gym then you were strapped. BIKE was everywhere in the area. A jockstrap was not expensive in my mind and it did what it need to. Never understood the one who would wear briefs or boxer briefs. Boxer briefs have no support after minutes and both just gather sweat just like the nut crushing compression shorts. Talk about a formula for jock-itch.

Yup. Bikes or equivalents (champion, duke) were de rigueur when I was growing up. EVERY guy had his jock. And I agree with others that compression shorts are an insane idea. Why would you such your balls? Sigh, short of some superstar athlete/celebrity mounting a "wear your jockstrap" campaign, marketed everywhere and targeted at guys, I don't see the jockstrap making a comeback.

 

[BULGEHOUND]

Welll I'd agree.... I've always preferred the RELIABLE support and comfort of a GOOD jock under extreme conditions. Unfortunately most of the really good «Made in America» jocks are now museum pieces, and 98% of what is flogged at typical BigBox Sports outlets is cheaply made junk. And, YES, the less material swathing the nether regions the better, ergo a JOCK is the best male undergarment bar none!

SAD but true! What I'd really like to see is a comeback of the QUALITY JOCKS I remember from my youth. Especially «BUB» jocks from J.B.Flaherty. Every time I voyaged to NYC I'd make a pilgrimage to the Flaherty storefront on 7th Avenue to stock up on several of my favourite models including #121.

Err... not sure what this is getting at but despite my JOCK-addiction, I can't help getting all bent outta shape ogling huge-hung guys' packages swaying and proudly protruding in their jockless «commando» singlets. HOTTTTTTTTT!

 

[Jake]

Yeah I'm 22 and I absolutely love jocks and wear one every day. They are way more comfortable than compressions imo. While I still have compressions, I won't wear them without a jock as well. I was also self conscious being the only one in the locker room wearing one too, but I've become a lot more confident in it! Also, when you do find someone else with one, it is an instant conversation starter as they have most likely felt the same way you do.

...HEY BUDDY!...I am SO GLAD to know that you "absolutely love jocks" and you wear one every-day!...me too!...I`m a bit-older-than-you!....and, when I was going-through Junior-High-School, we young-guys were "required" to *wear-a-jockstrap* for GYM-class (it was then called PE (PHYSICAL-EDUCATION), and, we ALL-*HAD*to wear a jockstrap for-each and every-class...it was REQUIRED, or we would-NOT be able to get a passing grade in order to graduate from school.....we also had "communal-showers!* (one-big-shower-room)...where every-guy could-see everything-there-was-to-see about every-guy-in-there showering!...and, we had a weirdo-perv-coach, who stood-there and gawked-at every-guy as he would be coming-out of that shower-room to get his towel!...I guess COACH liked seeing WHO had the biggest, swingingest cock and balls and who was most muscular and had the hairiest chest, stomach, arm-pit-hair, and pubic-hair of all-the young-guys!...I`m pretty-surprised COACH wasn`t busy-sniffing-some-sweaty, damp, just-used, jockstraps while all the guys were showering!...I bet COACH has an AWESOME USED-JOCKSTRAP=COLLECTION!... he was much-older and pretty-out-of-shape to be a GYM-TEACHER/COACH.!.......anyway, YOU just KEEP RIGHT-ON-JOCKSTRAPPING!...and LOVING JOCKSTRAPS as much as "I" ...and many-other-guys-on-here do!...and, never-feel "self-conscious" about wearing-a-jockstrap!...feel-PROUD!...and, like-you-said, maybe it can be "an-instant-conversation-starter!"...so, *THERE`S* something very-positive!...see how-many of your buddies you can get-interested-in-wearing-a-JOCKSTRAP!...and, tell-them they can order *jockstraps* online!...see how-many of your buds you can get to WEARING A JOCKSTRAP (especially if they mow-the-lawn, shovel-snow, jog, run-track, play-basketball, racquetball, wrestle, or, most-importantly, lift-weights!... they will want-to, and NEED-to protect-their-genitals from any-possible painful-injuries or STRAINS!..I KNOW one guy personally who has a DOUBLE-HERNIA!.....OH, WOW!...THAT SOUNDS PRETTY-MISERABLE!.....he probably even has trouble trying-to-walk......most of us older-guys on-here had-to buy our *1st-jockstrap* in-person, at-a-store!...YOU GUYS have the luxury of ordering whatever you may-need or want ONLINE!...no embarrassing store-visits to buy something so-personal...to protect your extremely-important-private-parts!...you young-guys just don`t even realize just how *very-fortunate* you are!...try and see how many guys around-your-age you can get INTERESTED-IN-WEARING-JOCKSTRAPS!..... the NEXT-GENERATION is *counting-on-you!*...and all those young-guys out-there who SHOULD-BE wearing-a-jockstrap for numerous-reasons!...good-luck!...stay-safe and well...and THANKS MUCH for YOUR input!.....keep jockstrapping, BE *PROUD-OF-IT*, and stay safe and healthy!.....PS: some guys even wear jockstraps in SAUNA`S, HOT-TUBS, and even in the SHOWERS!.....YEAH, MAN!...COMPRESSIONS can-be-pretty-yucky!...and, they don`t even "keep-things-in-place!"...that`s not-good!........later buddy!...............JAKE

I’m 22 here and I love wearing a jockstrap it’s a good feeling

I remember, growing up in the 50s, there was a loose «fraterity» of guys who were totally into sports and if you «qualified« to be part of the «fraternity» by showing at least a modicum of athletic skill you got mentored by those older and «more developed» — skill-wise and personally. So the whole JOCKSTRAP thing was a sort of Rite of Passage where your gym-buddy took you to the local sports store, owned and run by a well-known family, and there you got intruduced to (a) the store staff; (b) the «why» of jock-wearing; and (c) you got the same jock as your gym-buddy. There were usually only a few choices (one or two brands, one or two styles, and you were lucky if your size was actually in stock. I remember having to wait for the SMALL size needed for my skinny frame, and when it came, it was the begining of bean-counter degeneration of jocks — a PROTEX »Nylon Pouch». That pouch was cut from a sheet of hard nylon mesh whose outer edges weer sharp and prickly. My gym-buddy was aghast when he saw me wearing it and told ne to return it as «defective» but I was too shy to even think of that but it didn't take me long to decide to scrap it, screw up my courage, and make a solo visit to a store in another town looking for something decent. There, standing in front of the counter behind which was a collection of crackerjack-size cardboard boxes with intriguing names on the end-flaps: Protex RC#2; J&J All-Nylon; BIKE #10; Bike #59; «Collegiate»; «RUGBY»; «V-Front»; Protex O'KEE; Protex Varsity, and several more... I really wanted to examine ALL iof them but of course that wasn't going to happen. The pudgy dad-like clerk simply growled: «what for?» to which I could only stammer «gym» and «waist size» at which point he pulled a box from one of the loose stacks and tossed it on the counter growling «That'll do ya... that'll be $4.99. I couldn't wait to try it on but being away from home (and the locker room) there was no place to do that so I contented myself to finding a secluded corner and pullking that Protex Varsity out of its box with hot anticipation and a growing boner. The «VARSITY» was a sort of «standard» jock with a woven open-mesh pouch (nicely contoured) which was suspended from a large panel of heavier mesh so that the waistband which attached at the top of the panel rode uncomfortably high but, hey, it did have an advantage.... the soft, thich, seven-stripe waistband was always visible above the waist of the huge floppy «bloomers» which were de rigueur for gym. Although that exposed waitband occasionally became the target of runners behind me, it also prompted comments — some of them actually «nice» and openers to further discussion and even a few sort of «show & tell» encounters. Some od the super-athlete guys actually liked the VARSITY and added a few to their already burgeoning colections of jocks. I demurred, and retired the old VARSITY in favour of a BIKE «pro»#10 after having discovered the one worn by my favourite locker-room «dreamboat» — a gorgeous curly blond with a perfectly-muscled body who had transferred to my HS from a posh American «Military Academy» when his father (a specialist medical doctor) was hired by our local hospital. That PRO-10, and my subsequent acquisition of several PRO-10s of my own along with discovering other «erotic» jocks like the RUGBY I was regularly huffing, and the RC#2 I found in the Yacht Club lockers — at firsrt huffed and then, because it was so comfortable, worn till it fell to threads! — put my joclstrap collecting obsession into high gear.

It's a cultural thing too. Here in the UK jockstraps are vanishingly rare. You can't even buy them in sporting supply stores. I think people still occasionally wear them for rugby, and cricket. That's about it. I wear mine sometimes to the local swimming pool, and I always get weird looks in the locker room. For context I'm 30 years old.

 

[Ashbear779]

18 here and still in high school. I’ve worn a jock on multiple occasions but never had the courage to talk about it. Whenever someone asks me what type of underwear do you wear I wanna say jock straps but I feel like that could out me.

This is fucking awesome. Such a nice portrait of the golden age of guys in jocks. I love the "mentor" aspect of this, and, to toot my own horn, I wrote a story about a wrestling team that involved quit a bit of "education" from more experienced guys to younger and tons of talk about jockstraps. . It's not pornographic and it's not even really erotic in the classic sense, I would say, but it does exam bromance and what it's like to have a jock mentor. Lemme know if you're interested.

Always interested in JOCK & CUP stories. I never wrestled but was always titillated to see varous outlines in singlets. Before that ot was bulges in the 1950s-style Basketball Shorts which were skimpy and TIGHT and left little to the imagination on many well-hung guys. I have a QUESTION.... I distinctly remember watching a Wrestling Tournament on TV where some «official» seemed to be shoving his hand down the front of each competitior's singlet before they moved into the ring. Being ignorant of the sport, I used to assume it was like the football «cup check» until I was told that NO (???) wrestlers wore cups... so what was going on there?

 

[BULGEHOUND]

RE «mentoring» I have fond memories of the 2 semesters I spent working out in my university's primitive «Weight Room» which had just been divided with an 8-foot pony wall topped to the ceiling with wire mesh — 2/3 «male» and 1/3 «female. While the team jocks and engineering types were chinning themselves on that wall to ogle the females working out on the other side «« I must, I must, I must improve my bust... the better, the better, the better to fill my sweater»» was the chant... I made friend with a humpy guy who wasn't taking part but seriously working out and who «adopted» me (at that point the quiniessential «98-pound weakling» with scrawny arms and bony chest) and although that mentorship never progressed further than excellent coaching we remained friends as, with his help, I put on 60 pounds of solid muscle which gave me a pretty decent physique. So, I've always been grateful, even though a lot of that muscle deteriorated pretty quickly after I graduated and took to sitting behind a desk in a school where the male PhysEd teacher's idea of exercise was bending his elbow at the tavern during lunch, accompanied by almost all the other male teachers!
