Jockstraps to the gym

Anyone wear jockstraps exclusively to the gym? And with that, get horny all the time afterwards when you strip all your sweaty clothes and are only wearing your sweat soaked jockstrap? I have a huge jockstrap fetish, but in particular, sweaty jockstrap (not necessarily dirty). Anyone else relate?

I realize this is in the gay forum, but thought I’d share anyway.

I exclusively wear jock straps to the gym. I feel they give the best support, and “lock” my balls up tight the best even compared to athletic boxers. I was finding that after long runs my testicles began to ache the rest of the day, and thought maybe running wasn’t for me. Coincidentally, after my vasectomy, my urologist recommended a jock strap for support and I thought my usual athletic boxers would be enough. I was mistaken, and my first trip down the stairs after my operation confirmed his wisdom. Ever since I’ve been a convert.

I’m always surprised how sweaty they get after a run and thus I can’t ever wait to strip them off and waltz naked to the showers. If only my gym had communal showers, then it would be perfect.

I think for me it was a progression to wearing one to the gym. I first began to use one while in high school for sports and then continued into college. I did so because my briefs never seemed to provide the support that they do today. It was also something that became an accepted practice and enjoyed the feel. I will say that going to the gym after work and putting on a jock felt empowering. I also began to notice other types of jock apparel.

I nearly always wear one. Anymore I have big low-hangers and they start aching if I do a lot if I'm doing a lot of standing., etc. I bought tons of reg underwear over the years, but itsss stats sagging through the day.

I wore jocks when I was young but switched to support briefs In high school when I started lifeguarding. Didn’t like the twisted straps or the strap comin up in the back riding up and standing out! Now I don’t bother and don’t see many in the locker rooms anymore.

Unfortunately, Jocks today seem to be a little more than a fashion statement. I have recently sold all of my nice, old, 3" wide jocks. I must admit there are collectors who are willing to pay a good price for them. When jocks were fashionable it was a badge of honor to strut around the gym but the multi-colored, then waist bands ones don't make that same statement. I have low hangers and today's compression shorts just don't cut it for me so I keep a supply of jocks on hand

Yes to wearing one for gym and sports activities as a teen. It was a right of passage. I continued to do so in college but never found them comfortable to wear. The idea of being seen while in the locker room was of interest but then removing them for the reveal was an emotional thing. I was a tugger, namely, given myself a good tug to enhance my size. Never did much good!

It's great that you're comfortable with what makes you feel good at the gym. Different people have different preferences when it comes to workout gear. Just remember to be mindful of gym etiquette and ensure you're comfortable with your choices. I prefer classic boxers and regular shorts in summer. Moreover, I work out in a fitness studio Shrewsbury with my buddies. So it's important for me to be appropriate in the group.

Always at the gym, but have enough on hand to wear daily. On a hot summer day boxers can be ok, but esp. with shorts, throw on a jock and leave your ass bare. Winter wear one for exercise or snow_shoveling (YUK). Hell, any time I wear one it's subconsciously saying I'ma guy, be proud of your stuff.

I haven't worn one in years. I prefer a tight pair of briefs. You get the support without the chafing.

Jockstraps are the only underwear I have, so when I went to the gym I wore them. And I spent quite a bit of time in the locker room and sauna with nothing else on.

I can only wear very very tight briefs or my balls hurt bad, tried a jock but still didn’t help balls still ached badly so switched to extremely tight briefs

I got my first one to wear under a bathing suit with no mesh liner in my very early teens. It was a swimmer style, appropriately, with a narrow waistband and skinny back straps. The owner of the boys clothing store where my mom bought my clothes gave it to me so I wouldn’t be embarrassed that my mom would know I wore one. He said it was a guy thing.

A jock was required as part of the uniform at my high school in the early 60s. Same for PE at my ROTC summer camp later in college. That first one was a huge turn on to wear and started a lifelong enthusiasm for them.

I own an online underwear store and we sale a lot of jocks today. I love wearing a jock when I am going to be doing physical work or workouts. I have a friend who works at a gym as a trainer. Their boss makes them wear a jock or compression shorts, after one of his co-workers(who was well equipped) got some stares and complaints. That caused a rule for all of them to be required to wear a jock or compression shorts....

Always wear to the gym and while swimming. Have had surgery down there so will often wear under shorts in hot weather. In cool weather, my scrotum tightens up enough so that it's not needed.

Haven’t seen anyone wearing a jockstrap in years at the gym - only jock briefs but not jockstraps. Maybe some guys wore them but didn’t notice any in the locker rooms. Wore them through high school but switched to jock briefs. Didn’t have to worry about a waist strap riding up and twisting. In junior high, if we saw someone with the jockstrap riding up in back, we’d try to grab it and stretch it up over the guys head. Super wedgies! Lifeguarding in the 60’s we wore speedo’s without a supporter.

Before it was used a lot in schools, now they prefer to use other options. I still use jockstrap to exercise, it keeps my penis and testicles friction-free.

I started using them when I was 11 to practice football, they are very comfortable, but in the summer they keep everything in its place and cool.

This does not seem to be widely used in France, I don't even know how I would call that in French?!!!

@Jacana Using “Google Translate” -Jockstrap in English came up as “Suspensoir” in French. (Assuming I did it right!)

Like many others have said on here, I rarely ever see anyone at the gym wearing a jockstrap anymore, now mostly compression pants or athletic briefs. However, I do know that jockstraps are very popular among many men purely as fashion statements rather than as athletic wear. Many men claim they wear them a lot in daily life, but I actually wonder how true that actually is. I do personally own a number of jockstraps but never wear them for exercising and actually rarely wear them for anything. I really don't find them to be very comfortable, so purely own them as fashion statements or to wear to jockstrap parties as they are a very sexy article of clothing for sure. Would be very interested to know, with honest answers, how many men actually wear jockstraps regularly for any reason.

Jockstraps seem to be much more of a common thing in the USA, the impression I get is that it was a requirement at school, and many guys carried that through youth to adulthood,

whereas it was not my experience growing up in the UK that Jock straps were used, except for batting in cricket (and known as a box) and even that was the exception rather than rule

I started wearing a jockstrap at the beginning of Jr High - 7th grade. I had no idea of its purpose. On the first day of PE it was interesting in the locker room. Most of the boys, including me were shy about undressing and then putting on the required gym clothes. I saw some of the boys put the jockstrap on the outside of their gym shorts. They quickly learned that it goes on first, then the gym shorts.

The coaches would line us up for roll call and sometimes do a jockstrap inspection. You would have to pull the back strap out from under your shorts to show that you were wearing it.

As an adult when I started running/jogging I no longer wore a jockstrap. My dick and balls come up high and tight close to my body so a jockstrap is not necessary. When gym shorts were shorter, I would wear gym with lines or tight underwear to avoid exposing myself in the gym.

The last time I wore a jockstrap was almost 20 years ago. I had surgery on my scrotum. When I came to in recovery I found that in addition to the bandages on my scrotum, they had put a jockstrap on me to support my balls till the surgery healed.

They were mandatory in school sports and in gym class but these days I just usually wear briefs to the gym. Boxers are no good if you are on the treadmill or jogging or jumping rope.
