When I feel the need I wear boxer shorts.You can go anywhere in public in boxer shorts, T-shirt and flip flops.Jock straps are not comfortable to me.
I wear gym shorts instead of boxers.
Just as comfortable, even more acceptable, and not designed to be underwear.
I only wear a shirt where it is required in warm weather. There are many places, especially outdoors where a male can go without one.
i had to think back and laugh about the jock strap being required for pe class in junior and senior high ,i grew up in south florida the list for pe class - white t shirt , blue gym shorts, jock strap , white socks and sneakers back than i don't remember them called tennis shoes . south florida winter is january & february and that's not always true so beat the heat it didn't take long to forgo the jock strap and only wear t shirt , shorts and sneakers and kickball and football you wanted to be on the skins team.
I have recently discovered how comfortable jock straps are for wearing around the house. The straps along the hips feel good and appreciate the gentle support they give. Also feels like you are going commando under my pants.Wondering if others feel the same way and what brand do you like the most? I like a wide waistband and nice straps.
I found it disappointing that this thread devolved into an opinionated shaming of jockstraps as a garment unworthy of use, let alone attention, by nudists for one, and men in general.
Years ago, in the mid 80's when I asked a rather sexually "experienced" gay friend where I could find an old school jockstrap, he dick-shamed me in front of a third, saying "Why?? It's not like you have anything to need one!" as they both snickered.
Humiliated as I was, I never lost my "thing" for jockstraps. But because of that gross incident of faggotry, I never felt like I either looked good in one or had a big enough package to "adequately" fill one out. Only recently (much like the dude who posted this discussion, briefone2), a TN friend over a skype call encouraged me to put mine on and told me how awesome I looked in it and how proud I ought to be wearing it, especially at the gym. For the first time I was able to finally get all that bullshit out of my head and experience for myself how incredible it feels to wear a jockstrap.
Feeling the way the straps pull everything together right under my nuts, while at the same time everything behind from my taint to my hole to my ass cheeks is completely open and free, was like a revelation of MANLINESS and MASCULINITY I had never experienced before.
Walking around the locker room in front of the other men of my local community rec center, in nothing but my jock, going from my locker to the urinals to take a piss, standing at the sink to rinse my hands, back to my locker to change into my gym clothes, all had a surprising effect on not only myself, but a few of the other gentleman there as well. At least two of them OVERTLY repositioned themselves so as to offer me an unobstructed view while they displayed their naked bodies to me as they changed clothes and/or wiped off from the shower.
This, along with my workout on the gym floor, always aware of that bunching up under my nuts and my hole free to the breeze (under mys shorts, of course) altogether had the effect of me feeling just, what can I say(?) ALL MAN! I intuitively understood why, for up to nearly a century, men and boys have been wearing jockstraps, most notably with and around each other. It's called MAN POWER, brothers!
Dudes! I LOVE MY JOCKSTRAP!
Before anyone goes there, yes I agree, doing the same thing completely nude (at least in the locker room) would have an even more profound effect on liberating the locker room culture from its more recent homophobic nudity shaming. That's why I do BOTH as much as possible, where I make sure to respect the nature of my nudity AND the culture of nudism, without doing anything that might be construed as sexually provocative, especially in the steam room.
Rather than hear more of you negatively opine about why you "DON'T LIKE JOCKSTRAPS", I and especially briefone2 would like to hear more about what you DO LOVE about them.
what brand do you wear in the picture there, looks conmfortable.GYM Old School 2.0https://jockstraps.com/products/gym-old-school-2-0-jockstrap-with-3-inch-waistband-1-pack
Looks fantastic I wear one almost daily with boxers. I have naturally very low hanging balls that hang even lower with several big gauge piercings Without a thin nylon jock I sometimes sit on my balls. Ouch!
