Ya know, I thought your post overall was thoughtful and insightful. Which makes it all the more inexplicable and puzzling that you arrived at the conclusion I bolded above. Whether wearing a jockstrap has sexual overtones (and to be sure, those sexual overtones could be hetero as easily as homo) depends entirely on the context and the intent of the wearer. To say that wearing a jockstrap is inherently "gay", especially in an athletic context, is just plain stupid.
Not necessarily. At my school me and my bro use the group showers and dress without the towel well i do. Never did understand why he walks in theshower naked but has to have a towel to put his briefs on
So anyone who doesn't conform to your underwear code is gay and/or showing off?
That's quite an assumption, pilgrim.
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.
hey hey hey a 60 year old grandpa, who's sack is going to hit the toilet water when he sits down to take a crap needs the jock strap more than any of us. c'mon! don't be such a hater you douche bag!
Thanks, I already did. No need to link them again.
Can have sexual overtones, can have sexual overtones, and not exclusively homoerotic. It depends entirely on context.
That's funny. As a kid who grew up playing sports, I don't recall any of my coaches ever saying, "Here boy, put on this jock. It's a great form of sexual expression".
Really? Kids don't wear jocks for sports anymore? I beg to differ. Another possible "excuse" could be that you are a guy with big lowhanging balls who doesn't like them swinging around or getting crushed even engaging in 'soft-core' athletics. Or you might wear them as underwear for the same reason.
Your argument is built entirely on false presumptions, and there are serious flaws in your logic.
So every guy on a swim team, or diving team, or who swims laps for exercise, or wants to minimize tan lines at the beach is gay? Who knew? Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Yeah, in your dreams, ya pansy.
I'm not so sure the whole society thinks speedos and jockstraps are gay.
And that, would be hetero erotic. Great points, MB9, who should wear nothing but a jockstrap at all times.
I tell ya, kids today.
The operative phrase is the one you incredibly put in all caps. I didn't even need to highlight. Thanks.
Why do people around here think you're "offended" if you express a contrary opinion? Am I offended? Of course not. I just think your line of reasoning is stupid.

The social conformity, the group think mentality, the lack of independent critical thinking displayed by younger generations today I find sadly amusing, perplexing, and frankly disturbing.
Here:
Just FYI, I'm not a "60 year old grandpa" or a "super athlete", and just like musclebare9 I've been known to sport a jockstrap on a variety of occasions, the majority of which had no sexual overtones whatsoever. Compression shorts are hot and restrictive where I want to be loose and breathe, and rather than offering the control and support I require, they just squash my stuff. Sorry if my need for comfort and support trumps some stupid and arbitrary sense of current athletic fashion.
Had the OP asked if jockstraps were erotic apparel, I would say sure, they certainly can be, and there are plenty of gay guys, straight guys, and straight women (maybe even some lesbians?) who fetishize them. But to say they are inherently gay, is just plain stupid, imho. I'm guessing this mindset comes from the same fellas who do the locker room towel dance while plastering their cocks all over the internet.
