I guess I'm getting too old. Maybe I'm too conventional. I was a
product of high school and college gym classes circa the 1950's.
The notion that guys in gym today may not wear a jock strikes me as just
off-kilter. In my day there was just no question. ALL
buys wore a jockstrap in gym, there were absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS.
Period. Of course, everyone found jockstraps sexy, and
locker room chatter was full of jockstrap references. In those days
wearing a jock was just the norm. The utility was perfectly
understandable, and besides jockstraps were actually comfortable. . .
and, sexy.

If our society is rearing a generation of kids who are unfamiliar with
jockstraps, it's their loss. I can't imagine that jockstraps won't
come back into vogue.

Maybe the problem is that modern day school gym teachers are afraid that
mere mention of jockstrap wearing in gym is giving in to
gay sensibility. We gay guys sure know about jockstraps, we live for
them.

Mature and sexually comfortable teenagers might benefit from a special
offering in modern gym classes if the gym were to offer a
demonstration lecture every once in awhile on the subject of "How to
Wear a Jockstrap!" One or two hunky, drop-dead gorgeous
guys could be persuaded to address a class of horny teenagers, standing
stripped on a table or on a stage, and then put on in succession
verious types of jocks, and then strut around in them. One or two
demonstration classes like that would soon have the otherwise shy
teen agers craving for straps of their own! Maybe mature health clubs
should try doing this lecture thing. A video might be useful too.

Long live the jockstrap!!!!!

When I went to high school in the 1970's we had a gym teacher that took
the freshmen class into the locker room and showed us how to wear a jock
strap..
and it was in the days of the bike 10's. Every sports guy wore a jock
strap,
and no questions about it..it was your balls you were protecting! Even
us
Good Mormon boys wore jock-straps!!! and after showers we put on our
boxer shorts!

Oh no! I think it needs to happen... A QuickTime movie, with a nice
Authoritarian voice with all the high-end filtered out so it's barely
intelligble, with clips of boys playing sports, and other clips of boys
huddled on the floor clutching ther wobbly bits. Hmm. Cold make a nice

I think that's over the top a bit.

We got the lecture from our regular PE teachers, and of course the coaches
and AT's were more specific. But jocks weren't enforced in my HS for regular
PE, but I do remember one PE instructor making fun of a kid who had come
from CA about wearing boxer shorts. How he knew that, I don't want to know.
The PE rules were either jocks or jockey shorts (better than boxers I think)
but there was no enforcement; nobody got hurt bad either, so go figure,
blessed by God maybe.

Of course, wearing a jock, taking a shower with real soap, and such weren't
enforced either; half the guys did and half didn't. I didn't give a rat's
ass, I wasn't going to stink for the rest of the day, nor was I thrilled
with injury to certain parts of my body. It was interesting to see that the
most obnoxious guys making comments (you know, all the fairy jokes and such)
were the ones that stunk to high heaven and wore the same t-shirts and
underwear back to class, without even showering up. Heads up, guys, all the
Right Gard in the world won't keep you from smelling like a compost pile. It
just lets you smell like a compost pile with deodorant on it.

Also, having cut my foot open several times in baseball, I was rather picky
about cleaning up. You fill your shoe with blood a few times, you notice
these things. But I did notice in HS that those types struck me as trying to
hide something from themselves. None of my business.

I used to walk into the coaches'/instructors area with some of them in the
shower or disrobing with jocks on or out of the shower and dressing up to
teach and thought nothing of it. I partcularly remember the day I won the
election for vice-president of the school and all the guys emerged from
whatever they were doing to shake my hand; I think maybe some were half
naked, etc, who cares. It meant a lot more to me that all these guys I
respected dropped whatever they were doing to take that little bit of time.
Probably that would be illegal today.

Reflecting on this, another big reason for jocks in PE was so your you know
whats didn't hang out. accidentally from your shorts. Now that the NBA
influence has redefined the meaning of "shorts" as to be below the knees, I
don't think anyone needs to worry on that account anymore.

Or if they do, I suppose they've a future in adult movies.

That's why you don't see guys on the bench in basketball with towels on
their laps anymore.

Of course, one might fear that they will end up tripping on their "shorts"
now.

Yeah, what is it with those bifurcated skirts that basketball players
are wearing? One might think they're modest of people seeing their
compression shorts.

And the baggy-pants thing with the waist down around the butt and the
crotch haldway down to the knees ... what's that all about? Those boys
have to wear two or three boxer shorts strategically layered, each with
a different brand name. And they really intentionally showing off their
slavery to the marketeers?

Jockwoof, I think you nailed it.

Well, it's unattractive not to mention cumbersome and ridiculous looking.
But the rap music people dress like rag bags, the NBA players are afeared of
anybody seeing their jocks or compression shorts (it actually started with
the jockstrap thing), and kids willl be kids.

Fortunately, there are places left where real guys wear tight Wranglers and
Levis and boots, might have some cowpie stuck in their boots or come off
duty in uniform for a beer before going home. Those are the kind of places I
like to stop for a beer or two and watch a baseball or football game. Just
to shoot the breeze, enjoy some male cameraderie, and relax. Straight bars,
NCO and O clubs rule.

Try asking them to put the game on instead of some video at a gay bar and
see what an uproar you create, unless you know the owners real well. And
these aren't fishing expeditions, I just feel more at home in those places
than someplace playing music at 120 dB.

To repeat a tired cliche, "If I wanted a woman, I'd get me a real one."

I like Irish bars of the type where they have real Irish bands playing.

Oh, don't get me started on bars where the "background" music is so loud
you can't have a conversation, and the music itself is finely tuned to
hold the attention of the dance boys who are confused by any rhythms
more complicated than 2/4 and by lelodies longer than two measures.

Oh yeah, well, my favorite Irish bars are all back East, most of them are
IRA hangouts, but since I'm Scots and Welsh mostly I guess I get a pass.

My favorite is in New Jersey, actually both of them are.

"Excuse me, Sair, would you be having the usual?" (Years could go by between
times at this place, and they'd still know me.)
'And we're having a beautiful porterhouse on the menu tonight, I took the
liberty of ordering the last one for you, just as you like." (which is black
and blue or close)

or the other place:

"Oh isn't it good to see you again for sure. And I'm sure you're thinkin'
we've got the lamb chops tonight, and as it happens, we do.And we've gotten
some nice thick loin chops in that I know you'll like; I wouldn't be serving
them to anybody except our regulars, and nobody likes lamb as much as you
do. Beggin your pardon. Your usual table is free, so sit down and relax and
I'll be bringing your bread and drink out in a moment; the soup tonight is
good, too."

All that, plus sports on TV. Life is good.Though the latter place, I had to
eat my dinner then go see the game, at the bar, but I am not complaining.

I miss it.

hold up here a second...

1. unattractive to whom? ridiculous looking to whom? maybe you, but your
not the mesuring stick of social fashion or *other people's* opinions of
such. saying that 'rap music people' dress like rag bags is petty banter
that i'd expect to hear on a grade school playground. people live and
express themselves in different ways. dea with it and get off the moral
/ fashion high-ground.

2. combersome? hardly. i'm a skateboard. we invented baggie pants, and
then 'urban culture' stole it from us. the reason why pants got bigger
is allow great ease of movement. oddly enough, my karate uniform is
designed to be baggie for that exact same reason. ever worn a football
uniform? they hard has hell to move in, mostlly becuase of all the
fucking pads and how tight everything fits.

'real guys'. please. as if a pair of pants makes someone 'real' or not.
Straight bars arn't very a good place for gay people (i am one) to hang
out, unless you feel like subjigating your idenitity and not doing or
saying anything that might envoke some kinda negative response.

totally agree with you on this point. and indeed, it's really lame.

I went to the only gay sports bar in philly years ago during the World
Series. It turns out that downstairs is kind of a police / military /
motorcycle wannabee area and the upstairs bar was the sports bar, with a non

Some %^&*$#&ing sports bar.

There are 2 ways to make clothing non-cumbersome:

Loose and floppy-- diaphanous veils, swirling skirts, bloomer-style
shorts, kilts-- Kilts... *sigh*

Snug fitting-- tailored to the body-- baseball uniforms; compression
shorts, etc.

Football uniforms are not designed for movement, but for protection
from a half ton of overweight manhood smothering you in blubber.

It's kinda backward to think that basketball players wear long baggie shorts
for freedom of movement. They wear baggie shorts BECAUSE they wear
longshorts. It's the only way to keep those yards of fabric out of the way.
When freedom of movement is key (as opposed to protection), less fabric is
best.

For hockey, freedom of movement and protection are both important. So we
wear gear cleverly designed to allow us to move while giving us the
protection we need.

And since when do properly fitted compression shorts hinder movement?

for the most part, i agree with you. first, the *worst* cloths for
freedom of movement are one that are *slightly lose*, like a typical
pair of blue jeans, or a something that fit's like a bid'ness. they only
allow a certain amount of movement. beyond that, clothes start to rip
and you can't move that well.
the other options, snug and loose. each has it's benefits and
draw-backs. baseball playes have evvolved from having the most oversized
uniforms, to the tighetest ones. personally, i think one can move better
in loose clothes. however, with something like baseball there is the
chance of getting the ball lost or tangled in lose clothes, so snug seem
the obvious choice. last winter, the heat was broken at my karate dojo
for a week or so. people were wearing all sorts of stuff under the
karate gi (uniform). i was wearing spandex/tights. my ablitity to move
was greatlly reduced, or so it seemed to me.

I'm still back and forth about what i wear under my uniform during
classes. sometimes i just want let it hang out, and I just wear boxers.
sometimes a jock under my boxers. sometimes a jock with spandex shorts.
sometimes just a jock. but i must say, the most freedom of movement that
i notice, is when i wear just a jock under my uniform. a jock + anything
else, makes things seems tighter and constricting....

my 2 cents...

The boys are not tied down, plus are supported, they stay where I put

Not doing contact sports here either.....just lifting, aerobics, and

Well, when baseball was invented, about a hundred years ago, the only
materials they had were cotton, wool, and linen. They weren't very
stretchy. Now with polyester knits, baseball pants can be tight-fitting
and stretchy.

I wear spandex compression shorts when I play hockey. I don't sense any
restriction on freedom of movement. The key is to have them snug in the
crotch, and not all baggy.

I assume you stretch out before and after practice. That's when you'd
notice it the most, right?

Don't forget-- Spandex was originally used for women's girdles--
designed to bind things TIGHTLY in place and restrict movement (ie
jiggling spare tires).

So where do compression shorts differ from girdles? IMHO (never
having worn either), the difference is a matter of degree--
compression shorts are a 'loose girdle.'

As far as I can tell, Spandex is similar in action to elastic.

Now, how 'bout the skins the Olympic athletes were wearing? 'They'
gave one to Jay Leno. It looked like it weighed about an ounce and
was about as thin as a condom. Seeing them on people was impressive--
absolutely nothing left to the imagination (except, perhaps, seeing
one of the athletes have a blowout while wearing one! (: ). And
the design on the Canadian uniform-- looked like muscles!

different strokes, right?

yes and no. we do stretch out before and after class. and that is
usually when i am most keenly aware of whatever i'm wearing under my Gi.
however, stretching is done slowly. i can still reach my maximum
flexibility with whatever I deem to be 'restrictive' on, it's just a
little less comfortable.
but where it comes into play *during* class is during kicking drills or
sparing. if i am wearing just a jock, or nothing at all, under my
uniform then it really seems like i can move a bit faster. even more so,
i can definatlly feel less *resistence* in movement. in something like
sparing, every nanosecond is cruical. i'd rather feel lose and light,
then somehwhat restricted...
but, again, i still feel that the *best* combo for support and speed is
just a jock under uniform.

There are occasions when athletes can get away with wearing just a jockstrap
and
nothing else. I refer to private gym activities. An example comes to mind.
In my college
days I recall some of the squash players remarking they liked to play in
jockstraps only
during practice, just the team members. Seemed some of the players felt they
had greater
freedom of movement.
I can recall too times in men's gym classes when groups of us men only
were taking
a couple or three weeks of swimming as part of overall required 2-yrs of gym,
times when
many of us could use the pool wearing speedos or just plain jocks. As with
the squash
team players, no one else was around but us men, so there wasn't any sense of
public
nudity. Some guys preferred swimming just in jock alone, though of course
others found
diving was better with Speedos.
It seemed to me that for men to feel comfortable just lounging about in
the company of
other comfortable men while wearing only jocks was a gratifying experience.
We were just
late teenagers then, and the sense was of male bonding coming from the
experience of being able to walk about and socialize while wearing jocks. It
was sexy, it was satisfying,
it was even "natural" feeling.
I'm sure some of the other readers have had similiar experiences.
Comments?

Oh yes, I'm reminded of a few occasions when I was in leather-gay "macho"
bars where
bar tenders sometimes would wear just jocks as they served drinks. They sold
a lot of
drinks, that's for sure.
The same bar used to sponsor a "Jock Strap Night" on a pre-announced and
well advertised summer evening when business might otherwise have been a bit
slow. Any
patron who stripped down to a jock and walked about the bar room in jock got
free drinks.
On some occasions perhaps 25% of the total bar patrons were walking around in
jocks.
The bar would be totally packed and you couldn't help rubbing up against
someone or other's well packed jock pouch. There must have been a lot of hard
ons.

Has anyone ever wondered if "Spiderman" wears a jock? I've collected a lot
of
his newspaper cartoon strips and in at least one there's a clear suggestion.

I read somewhere that whoever worked contibuiity for Superman had a fit
because sometimes Christopher Reeve would dress right and sometimes he'd
dress left. I don't r ecall, but I think they fixed the problem by
giving him a cup to wear.

wel Christopher, we all know that fashion designers are SADISTS and although
LONG, baggy pants probably do make sense for boarders (at least something
between kneecaps and abrasive asphalt.... the LAST considerastion of
fashion designers is any kind of FUNCTION and the only consideration is
<shock value> -- trying to be sillier than their competitors..... so be
content that they felt you guyz were <outrageous> enuf to merit stealing
your pants! Also <baggy> short have a levelloing effedct like putting a
pall over a casket.... when you can't see what's underneath then you can't
make (sometimes nasty and embarrassing) comparisons..... so in the case of
baggy basketball shorts, apart from <fashion dictates> it's a REACTION to
the skin-tight shorts of the 50s and 60s which left heavily-endowed guys NO
place to <hide> and <tiny-tims> looking like eunuchs.

There is perhaps a glimmer of common sense in the current baggies....
back in the 60s I had a friend who was a very amply-endowed <shower>.
Completely flaccid, his dick was so HUGE that he had difficulty stowing it
discreetly in even fairly full-cut slacks. A promising basketball player, he
refused to continue on the team as the tiny and very tight regulation shorts
left NO room for all this cargo which made an <obscene> bulge and in spite
of the tightest jocks he could find still spilled out the inseam of one leg
or the other.

Also I heard that some pro basketball players wear CUPS but probably don't
want to advertise that fact so hugely baggy shorts suit their agendas as
well.

I hate to be a <wet> compression short but....
I have tried several time to find <comfort> in compression shorts.
I have tried several brands including BIKE and MIZUNO.
Every time I felt like an Egyptian corpse halfway through the mummification
process. YES, they do flex, but the <compression> made my legs feel stiff
and INflexible and HINDERED my movement (at least psychologically?!?!?!?)
almost as much as the 40 pounds or so of regulation goalie pads.....
I HATE them.... however if you like them, by all means......... ;-)

I have to admit that the MIZUNO shorts did have very sexy-feeling inner
material (soft terry) and look hot with a <fitted> pouch instead of the
ball-scrunching <unisex> crotches of most compshorts of my acquaintance.
Well they might at the price tag they carried. I sometimes wear them as
walking or biking shorts unless I plan to meet members of my school board!

I practised TaeKwonDo for years, and most of the guys who were serious and
thoughtful work ONLY a good, comfortable jock while working out, warming up
and doing kata. THEN, B4 sparring we'd make a quick run back to the locker
room to pull on a cup. And, here again, serious guys would have <serious>
cups and the geks and goons wld have either nothing or some cheapshit
plastic thingey -- several of which failed the impact test under sparring
conditions!!!! OUCH!!!!!!!!! I originally work a special Jhoon Rhee
contour cup in a very tight BUB professional cupjock. As sparring got more
serious I graduated to a Cooper Goalie Cup and then as my reactions
avoidance skills sharpened I <relaxed> into a JOFA hockey cup which I found
gave the most <coverage> with the least chafing and restriction of movement.

All THREE modes of protection were <appropriate> for the conditions --
everyone has different needs and tolerances and so what's <right> for me
might not be <right> for you. Sleazy, ill-fitting gear of any style is
worse than useless, and unfortunatelty there's LOTS of it out there and some
ill-informed or foolhardy souls actually buy enuf of it to keep those
third-rate manufacturers solvent and churning out their crap. The broken-cup
victims had to learn the hard way. I sure sold a LOT of JOFA cups after one
incident of a shattered $2.99 <<protective>> cup in the dojo.

BTW... here's a little <vocazbulary for you:

GHI = what is worn while on the dojo floor
sparing = saving from; or a little of something
sparring = demonstration fighting
definately
resistance
cruical -- might have a meaning but I think you meant:
crucial
lose = to find one's self without something
loose = not tight
then = an adverb of TIME
than = a comparative, similar to <as>

..................with the compliments of Cup(ped)Bear!
<<scourge of spell-checker addicts>>

ONE thing I think we can agree on is that JOX RULE!

perhaps <<the moral high-ground of fashion>> is what was intended.

haha, i see we have a 'grammar queen' in this news group. I make no
attempt to fix typo's or spelling errors on newsgroups, random email
etc. i don't take any of this seriously enough to make the effort.
besides, spelling is just a guideline. :P
if people can figure out what I'm trying to say, then that's all that
really counts (at least in this medium), or the least i am concerned
about.

In article <3CBC8C02...@pipeline.com>,

I recognize two kinds of spelling mistakes. First, and somewhat
permissible (mostly because I sometimes make them), are typographical
errors: getting all the correct letters in but in the wrong order, or
hitting some letter near the one desired. Second, and more serious, are
errors that result from not knowing how to spell the word. For instance,
writing "their" when one means "they're."

However, Freeman's religious-tract-like writing style is just too much
to bear. It's as though he doesn't trust the words to get across his
emotional tone. }: ) I need to put on my sport-glasses to read him, lest
the all-caps and superfluous punctuation tear my cornea. ; )

There are quite a few places in London where you can walk around in just
your jockstraps and nothing else (except - footwear). Sometimes you get
a few hunky guys in jockstraps having drinks, yapping away - there is
something sexy about such casualness.

What sorts of places? Shopping malls? Parks? Bars? Gyms?
