My thang is that BIKEs were THE jockstrap all the guys wore in school, and psychologically, I simply can't escape from my obsession.
Jockstraps a thing of past in sports?

Five minutes ago I took three jockstraps off a kind of portable clothing rod in my bedroom. I'd let them dry there after washing cuz I think you're not supposed to dry jocks in the dryer--at least the vintage ones. I have about 6 jocks in my underwear drawer among lots of pouch briefs, a couple of boxers for sleeping, some clingy CK trunks, 3 2xist sports briefs, one very old CK sports brief that still works great, about 6 compression shorts I stole from locker rooms (and one that was simply lying in the street near where I live, relatively new and in good shape.
Maybe I should do like JD Vance but instead of fucking my couch, fuck my underwear drawer!
I've been washing mine in the washing machine on cold inside a mesh bag. After they come out, I lay them out on my bed and turn the ceiling fan on high. They're usually dry in a couple hours.
You should loop your jock waistband over the blades of your ceiling fan... Wheeeeeee
My dresser is from the 50's and the drawer pulls are pretty small.
Fabrics have advanced and jock straps are no longer necessary to keep things in place while being athletically active. That said, jock straps were never intended to "protect" as you claimed. For protection, you need a cup and you can still purchase jock straps with a pocket in which a cup fits.
Yes, the "protection" distinction is an important one. I'm amazed at how many times I've read on the web people talking about how jockstraps are for cups. Do they not know that there are two types of classic jockstraps: regular and cup style. Many guys wear a cup strap over compression shorts (which in my opinion are the work of the Devil).
Thanks to an ad by nuttybuddy.com, I now wear a supportive sports brief and then a REGULAR jock over that and slip the cup in. Works better than a cup strap, which didn't always force the tip of the cup and its edges up against your thighs.
That said, one could be justified in saying a regular jock "protects"--not from direct hits or anything; in that situation a regular jock offers only a small about of collision protection. However, I think it's fair to say that by virtue of keeping your balls pouched, they may prevent errant swaying and swinging of your nuts and that's a kind of protection.
and yeah, the jockstrap has been replaced with more advanced technology, a good VINTAGE Bike jock has never been surpassed
I don't think jock straps and cups merit much commentary and I don't find dissertations on the subject nearly as titillating as you apparently do.
And you'll find many people here who claim compression shorts offer no support at all.
Personally, I think they're crazy. Or, wearing them two sizes too big...
I forgot that you're the guy whose posts are almost uniformly critical, dismissive, and supercilious. Not sure what drives you. Did someone hurt you in younger days?
Thank you for your concern, but I've never been "hurt." I lead a happy, fulfilled, and successful life. And, I have opinions, often of the grounded, reality-based variety that puncture the pretense and run afoul of the fantasy-fiction of posters here -- perhaps you, included. As a case in point, the question of "Jockstraps A Thing Of Past In Sports?" has been asked and answered. But an answer to the question is not what the OP wants; the OP wants exhaustive discussion on guys and their experiences with jock straps, likely including, responses claiming that no jock strap can contain their prodigious penises. It would be more honest to ask, "Please tell me how you look in a jock strap," or "Tell me all about your jock strap experiences."
Conversations can begin any number of ways. I think you're probably correct that this guy wants jockstrap stories that include every tiny detail. What's wrong with that? And what's wrong with entering that conversation obliquely instead of so plainly? Is it up to you so "puncture the pretense"? Are you that arbiter of all things?
Now you're asking the right questions even though you meant them rhetorically! First, it is an obvious and banal statement that "conversations can begin any number of ways." I prefer they begin honestly, and not deceptively, so people are clear on the question, enabling them to give meaningful answers. The issue with entering a conversation obliquely (extra credit to you for vocabulary) is the shadow of mendacity (I want vocab extra credit too!) and discredit it casts over the person asking the question. It is an invitation to not take the question, or the person asking the question, seriously. It is also an indication the poster is afraid to ask the question plainly; possibly because, once asked plainly, the erotic image conjured in the person's mind is no longer titillating, losing its carnal power amid too many mundane responses. In that case, an opaque question causes respondants to hunt for meaning, making various attempts to satisfy the question, each time providing a little jolt of pleasure to the poster for having teased others to come ever-so-close to the target, without ever putting their fingers on it. As "Arbiter of All Things," that is my ruling.

Jockstraps are definitely a thing of the past. Why? A few theories.
- Tighter underwear. Nowadays, compression shorts are the go. But even ordinary boxer shorts or briefs in this day and age fit well enough to keep the package in place amid vigorous movement.
- Boardshorts and swimshorts fit looser. The package can hang loose with little risk of telltale VPL or other embarassment. Think of 70s-80s basketball shorts vs today.
- Jockstraps never actually worked all that well, anyway.
Excellent points.
When jockstraps first came into being, most men wore loose fitting boxer shorts as underwear, which offered zero support.
So is your response to someone who might be timid about actually posting a question important to them but who screws their courage to the sticking place and actually does post to condemn them for not being honest?
Haven't you been in social situation where it's more graceful and diplomatic to being a topic gently rather than just coming out and laying it out, bare, on the table, like a 12 inch dick? Why does it bother you SO MUCH that people aren't always direct. Would you prefer a world like that movie, "Liar, Liar" where only blunt truth can be spoken (leading to conflict, etc.) What drives you?
