First, I had to stop laughing for five minutes and thought is this really a serious question. OMFG..........that idea is totally ridiculous and without merit. Who comes up with these ideas? No more than wearing a leather jacket makes me a member of Hell's Angels. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to get back to some laughter.

they are hot but ya sorry, kinda gay.

why? b/c comp shorts took over and now anyone seen in a jock its assumed (at least I would) that they are showing off for other men's attention. and lets be honest guys, many (not all) of you are doing just that.

also, i don't get wtf your parents would see your jockstrap anyhow?? please tell me they aren't doing your laundry...

So anyone who doesn't conform to your underwear code is gay and/or showing off?

That's quite an assumption, pilgrim. :rolleyes:

okay, let's get to it. if you are wearing a jock strap for anything other than athletic competition, yes i consider that "gay" don't mean to label, but that's it.
Jeezy Chreezy, when will men stop deciding everything is gay? You know whats gay? Blowing another guy!
really? don't think so
I "don't mean to label" either, but in my mind sucking a guy's cock is infinitely "gayer" than wearing a jockstrap.

Maybe that's just me.

wow...really? LOTS of people wear them...some wear instead of underwear. I wouldn't consider them gay at all. Hell people that wear their pants halfway down their ass look more gay to me than someone wearing a jock. It's like they're advertising. At least jock straps are covered.

I'm gay and I like jockstraps.
There, I said it.
But I also like all kinds of sports gear - are those sexy gym shorts 'gay'?

FWIW, I can see the value in compression shorts. They cut down on thigh chafing, and prevent wedgies better than a jockstrap do. That said, they doo squash the balls. It would be nice if there was a garment that combined both features, maybe something like the N2N runner?

Is wearing a Speedo gay?
Is wearing tight Levi’s 501s gay?
Is showing a VPL gay?
Is looking at a men’s fitness magazine gay?
Is looking at a soft-core gay porn magazine gay?
Is former Senator Larry Craig who tapped his foot in an airport men’s room but otherwise led a straight life, gay?

What about the gay symbolism in football?
The tight uniforms with the shoulder pads exaggerating the male form
Slapping each other on the butt
Tight ends
Penetrating the end zone
Jockstraps visible through the uniforms

Posters on LPSG can select the proportion of gayness in their orientation, and most are not completely straight. Perhaps that small amount of gayness in most straight men recognizes and is stimulated by male genitals and the male form. Perhaps some of them are troubled by that stimulation, maybe more now than in the past. Of course, women can see this male display too, and may react negatively also.

The sexual suggestiveness of clothing is not either yes or no, but instead is a shade of gray. Baggy clothing has little and jockstraps have a lot. Gay men looking to attract other gay men want to display their sexual attractiveness more openly than straight men looking to attract women.

Jockstraps have erotic appeal to gay men: the genitals are emphasized and the butt is uncovered and available for penetration. If Straight men don’t deny and reject male erotic stimulation, their complete straightness is questioned.

So yes, wearing a jockstrap is gay, but it didn’t used to be so much in the past. You were required to wear one in gym class. Now you wear one in gym class if you are gay.
