Here's hoping! I've often said that if a public (or possibly pubic) relations campaign were set up featuring some famous athlete wearing his classic jockstrap (no fashion jocks, please!), we could change the culture the way the Calvin Klein white briefs ads changed culture in the 70's.
Imagine tennis hot dude Carlos Alcaraz modeling a jockstrap the way he models briefs at Macys Or perhaps one of themajor football players. Guys all over the country would start jocking up as they used to.

That is a great point. I wonder if any jocktstrap company could pair up with an athlete brave enough to show that he wears jockstraps. I also agree with your point about fashion jocks. Not criticizing any guys who wear them - more power to them - but I think that fashion jocks have limited the realizing that a jockstrap is actually a part of legitimate athletic equipment.

Undoubtedly. The association of jockstraps with gay men has always been there, I think, but the blatant embracing of a jock as a sexual piece of clothing has stripped away (ha!) some of the mere athletic connotations, which to me is what makes them hot.
I doubt there are any athletes now brave enough to promote plain, classic jockstraps. Prolly too "gay" for them. Of course, one never knows. Guys of my generation would have found it inconceivable that hs dudes and college dudes would switch to "old man" boxers... but it happened. The public can be led like sheep if the right celebs and skilled advertising guys get together!

Hello Opinionman,

"Undoubtedly. The association of jockstraps with gay men has always been there, I think . . . "

Not sure how old you are but having grown up in the 60s and 70s I can assure you that those of us wearing jockstraps never considered it a "gay" thing. In high school EVERYONE wore the traditional jockstrap not only for sports but also for PE. And I do mean EVERYONE. It was what men wore to protect their testicles in doing anything more strenuous than walking. Perhaps you can give a time frame reference to the "gaying" of jockstraps.

Oh, I totally agree. I was born in '60 so I'll bet you and I are of the same generation. It's certainly true that jocks were just a thing guys wore without it being gay.
I think what I meant was, that once I look back at old/vintage photos, I find there are jockstraps used as erotic gear much earlier than I would have thought. I used to think they became a "gay' thing in perhaps the late 70's, but it seems to me it was earlier than that; I just wasn't aware of it.
I am always grateful to have grown up in an era when jockstraps were the norm. I've never diminished in my gut-wrenching reaction to a dude in a jock. Yet they also exist in a kind of in-between world: they emphasize masculinity in terms of being sporting equipments yet they also are sexual in nature for many of us. Still, that unselfconsciousness about jocks that you mention--that is, the ubiquitousness of jocks for guys in that era--is what makes them hot. The guys wore them without thinking and for some reason I find that appealing or even arousing.
If you're interested in the kind of "homosocial" or bro-ness of jocks, you could check out the story I submitted here to the Forums. If you do a search for "Native American's First Exposure" and scroll down you'll find the full title: "... exposure to college wrestling. This story is not porn; it's more about guys growing and being supportive in college.

I am just a few years older than you are. Jocks were ubiquitous in junior high, high school, and even college. I had a friend in college that I would play tennis with from time to time and we always went back to our rooms and "jocked up" before heading out to the courts.

I do know that young guys do wear jockstraps but it does depend upon the sport and the particular community. I remember two high school baseball players throwing ground balls to each other and one of them said "take it easy, I'm not wearing my cup today". That developed into a short conversation about wearing jockstraps and cups. The boy without the cup was wearing a jockstrap, he said, but had forgotten to bring his cup to school.

What’s up gear heads… who wants to give me a cup check and adjustment in the locker room before practice. Hoping all the JV men will see my bulge and get their cups on.
