I prefer to be naked when I can be or commando when I have to be clothed. On occasion I will wear a jock strap to do something different since I like the feeling of my penis against my body and the feeling of my exposed butt. I was introduced to the jock strap in 7th grade P.E. Class and wore one through 12th grade. It was much later in life that I became interested in buying a jock strap for some additional fun when I could not be naked.
Where can you wear a jock strap and not be naked?
We had to wear jocks starting in 7th grade PE class.
We were told that they were required to provide the support needed to prevent injury. That was repeated from 7th grade through 12th grade. However, they never specified what injury might happen if a jock was not worn.
I've gone online looking for the medical reasons for wearing a jock -- same story -- to provide the support required during physical athletic activities. But never anything specific.
The only real use I've ever found for a jock is while riding a unicycle. A jock keeps your cock and balls pulled to the front and up -- so you don't end up sitting on them. That could be very painful. Tight jeans also work well.
Other than that, my opinion on jocks is essentially the same as for any other piece of clothing -- if I don't have to wear it, I'm probably not wearing it.
Nude when possible; commando when clothing is required.
I own about a dozen jocks, different brands and materials. Some are the old school Bike type jock, and I find them all comfortable.
I tend to work outside, so if the temperature is 50 or higher, I find the jock preferable in keeping cool and dry over other types of underwear. Commando is not always possible at work.
It isn't right for me to respond to this thread, but it is my right to as a True Nudist, so why not! The reason for me saying this is that somehow I have lived sixty-two years and have never, not even once, put on a jockstrap or a cup. Never engaging in organized sports besides during gym class (and not much into organized religion, but I diverge), there was never a requirement for the such a thing in school, and so I made it through that time without ever having to don such a strange-looking item. I understand the merits and the support it might offer - don't get me wrong. But part of the reason why I use the term 'strange-looking' is because the 'bee-hind' is truly augmented dramatically by the design of a jock strap.
I'm going out on a limb here and I'm bound to get some grief, but did a homosexual design the first jock strap? It seems to grab one's attention the way the garbed man's cheeks are exposed - no - really framed by the fabric. I'm rather straight in my orientation - and here I'm talking about sexuality, please, not the demeanor of my dong - so my eyeballs don't tend to linger on men's tushes.
I do need to admit a certain love for wearing a thong under any damned garment when I'm forced to be dressed, so maybe you can forgive my intrusion into this topic a little. I really love the way my stuff is pulled up, how the shape of the fabric tends to accent my bulge when there's a thong underneath, not to mention the pleasing way the fabric feels between the back parts. That second point is fully lost with a jockstrap since the typical design roams around the outside of the cheeks instead of meandering in the midst of them. It took me some time to come to that conclusion, and I am sure most men wouldn't put up with a thong, finding that small bit of cloth rubbing there to be quite annoying.
As a full time nudist, it may seem a touch wacky to the reader that I enjoy any part of my body to be clothed, ever. In the want to help you understand my mindset, there is a confidence I feel when I'm out in public wearing a thong that is missing when I'm in regular men's underwear, or even when I'm going without any second layer, the so called 'commando' or 'gorilla'. I conclude that there are some similarities between the two garments I'm discussing, with previous posts here on athletic supporters mentioning some pleasure reached by the wearing which has nothing to do with physical support at all. I should mention now that all of my tighty whities hit the trashcan many years ago, finding them to be of marginal design and minimal comfort, and visually unappealing at best. All of my remaining 'regular' underwear is at least stylish and mostly colorful - you know, just in case I get in a car accident ; )
I am attempting to discard more and more of my clothes as my life here at the nude resort extends into the foreseeable future. At the same time, I am relatively sure that, like needing some clothing for when it is cold or during bad weather, or when I have to join the fake world outside the gates of our fair community, I will always have a few thongs in my drawer, to keep the wedding tackle at bay when a need for underthings is there or when I need to give a public speech and could use a little mental support. Will I go my whole life without trying a jock strap?
