Jockstraps

Ok i have another question for the gay men! I'm one of the females from the board who enjoys gay porn which explains my curiosity here. Whats the fascination with jockstraps? I definitely see there is a trend in pro and amateur gay porn when it comes to the bottom wearing one.

Despite the fact I'm bi- and not a bottom, jockstraps rank up there with speedos and cockrings among my fetishes (see my gallery). My way of thinking goes back to Jr. H and HS days when all my buds and I wore them in football and track. In my eyes, bulges and packages, are often more exciting than seeing the wearer completely nude....salivating while wondering what lies beneath. Tho the straps can be a bit annoying, the pouch makes for one hell of a package especially if one wears a cup like in some team sports. The smell associated with a worn jock is outta this world (there's another thread) concerning this.

If a guy has a nice bubble butt a jock strap frames it kinda like a work of art but everything is accessable.

the whole Lockerrom fantasy....at least for me

Thanks guys so much for answering that for me! Primal that is such a great explanation too. I've always wondered by ball stretchers and cockrings are such a fetish for gay men too. If i watched true lesbian porn (which i doubt i could find outside of amateur) if i noticed a trend in clothing or practices i'd be asking them too! Hell some of the things i've seen in straight porn has a presence from video to video.

I've recently started getting into bondage and i find there are similarities among every fetish.

I sometimes wear a jock to the gym, I think its more of a fantasy for others but, I do like to see a nice ass framed by the 2 straps.


I usually wear compression shorts and BB shorts over them.

Will probably get slammed for this....I hate true lesbian porn. Watch just about every other kind tho. Thing that I've noticed more and more in str8 porn are all the body piercings...am sort of a moderate in this respect as I only have one nipple ring....but the multiple piercings turn me on more than tramp stamps.

Jockstraps to gay men are like a woman's garter belt and leggings in straight erotica that appeals to straight men. They frame the ass and accent the other parts.

Actually, I would like to see Matt Damon in some Aussie Bums or a jock strap. Jack Venice would look hotter in a jockstrap but I wouldn't throw him out the bed if he wore Aussie Bums.

Jockstraps retain a man's natural pheromone.

What a great comparison, jockstraps equate garter belts. I love it. And i hate all of the stupid navel rings and hood rings in porn. Mainly because everyone in highschool had a navel ring. I think they do it because it has a teenager like stigma attached to it. Back 10 years ago when i had my clit hood pierced, no one else had them. I mean i could find a few pics of it on the internet and that was it. Now its just normal to have the hood ornament. I have my nipples pierced and only the true piercing fanatics have their nipples done because theyre a BITCH at first!

No offense to the type of bulldykes lesbians that have great sex, but i dont get turned on by straight porn, im certainly not getting turned on by that. Did anyone else see that SNL episode where all the guys wish to see two women fucking in their dorm room? And they are the butchy dykes! I love it especially when Sherri O'Terry says "I love the smell of curry on your fingers"

I think it's the whole masculinity of a jockstrap. It's an article of clothing man for a man..and only a man. and it's a right of passage for becomming a man...at least it was for men my age. getting your first jock for gym/sports was a way of being more like the adult men in your life. hey..my mom bought almost all my clothes when I was young, but it was my dad that bought me my first jock, along with other sports things. it was my dad too that I complained to that I hated the jockey shorts my mom bought for me and that I wanted boxers like he wore. and he surprised me shortly after by comming home from work with a 3 pack of boxers just like he wore. its things like that sub consicously that I think are the draw of a jock. and like said above..they look great when the pouch is stuffed with cock and the butt is framed by those straps. and the smell is a true man smell too. smells are often much more of a trigger to our memories than anything else.

A right of passage like my first bra.

The tops also can wear them (pulling the pouch to the side to penetrate. I have a 2xist (with a Y thong back in black) and a Cn2 (classic white) jock and I love them both. They have cloth pouches.

If you get a jock with a cloth pouch, it will give you a nice bulge as well, without the need for a cup. I, for one, have never been able to wear a mesh jock. And yes, jocks are great for manscent!

jockstraps are such a difficult topic.

believe it or not - jockstraps actually do serve a very utilitarian purpose. especially for lpsg type guys, jockstraps are very effective at keeping your junk firmly in place during sports activities. for both comfort and safety they are great.

but there is no denying the erotic aspect of jockstraps too. the nice compact package upfront is awesome. the way the straps frame a guys butt is such a turnon.

so because i find jockstraps so erotic, i rarely wear them to the gym where i need one most. i'm constantly popping wood while wearing a jockstrap.

what's a guy to do?

I recently bought my first jockstrap a couple of days ago on recommendation from a mate, and I have to say they do indeed keep everything in check while your doing sports or gym a lot better than sports briefs or even compression shorts. The only downside is that I am still getting used to the whole bum showing deal with it, but I suppose time will leviate that problem LOL.
As for jockstraps being a staple in gay porn, I think it's just like a wonderbra or garder belts are used for women in straight porn - they are a very sexy garment on fit blokes when used in a sexual context as very few male oriented gym wear shows as much skin as a jock yet hides enough for it to be titillating.

BigMeat, yours is the only post of any insight. The jockstrap's appeal is mainly psychological and symbolic, emphasizing, as you so astutely noted, the appeal to masculine self-esteem and standards of manhood.
