So here’s an update.
Thanks to everyone who replied and sent me private messages.
One thing that struck me is this. The old style jocks do not seem to have evolved much since the 1950’s and the fashion style jocks are just that, fashion. Over the past decade or so, men’s underwear has seemed to evolve and manufacturers have started paying attention to men’s anatomy and the material used. (For example, while expensive, I love Tommy John.) But jocks do not seem to have evolved much.
I bought two styles of 2xist. I used to wear their briefs and they were always comfortable — still have some — and thought I’d try them. I also bought a couple of unheard of brands from Amazon. No doubt designing a jock has its challenges — guys’ junk comes in all shapes and sizes; guys’ asses come in all shapes and sizes; and guys’ needs for fit, e.g., light support vs a lot of support vary. I ordered the same size in all that I ordered.
First, the Amazon jocks. One was way too skimpy. While the waistband fit comfortably, the cut was really low. The bottom of the one-inch waistband sat just above the base of my cock. While a little peek of pubes can be sexy my buzzed up bush was basically in full view. They just looked awkward. Interestingly, the pouch was comfortable, I didn’t feel “squinched up” and when I emulated doing squats, my balls stayed neatly tucked in. The pouch just wasn’t cut high enough and I had the feeling that if I ran in them the waistband would fall even lower. The second jock was cut much better but the seams began to unravel after the second washing. Both went into the trash.
Next the 2xist. I bought one style in cotton + spandex and one style in polyester + spandex mesh. They are both super comfortable and hold and shape to my cock and balls nicely. However, when I run, the polyester + spandex “Speed Dri Mesh” fabric rubs against my cock head and makes it tingle. It neither excites me in a pleasurable, get boned up way nor is irritating. It’s just annoying. I kept them because they’re probably fine to work out in. I really liked the cotton + spandex. There is just enough spandex to provide a comfortable stretch and they shape nicely around my cock and balls and the “hold” is perfect — i.e., just the right amount of flopping around. And when I run they feel good next to my dick. I have worn them on several runs including with my neighbor across the street which led to a little story two days ago, on Monday.
My friends, and those who know me on here, know I always have a little story with everything. I don’t think my life is that exciting but I guess I have plenty of little encounters with guys — and a lot of times they don’t involve sex but are sexy. Since I haven’t been traveling and working out at the gym I went to in Miami, I supplement my “garage workouts” with my workout bud AG with running. I have been running a couple of times a week with my neighbor across the street. It’s good to have someone to pace with. He and his wife are like Ken and Barbie fitness. They are both late 20’s, really active, in great shape and super nice. They’re great neighbors to have and he is the guy on the block that has the right tool for every project around the house and loves helping out on weekend projects. He’s also a fine looking specimen! Totally and painfully straight too. They know I’m gay and are totally cool with it. They have met the guy I’m dating (another story) and always ask about him. On hotter days my neighbor and I usually run early in the morning and many times shirtless. He looks great! Of course when I’m running behind him I undress him and imagine that nice, naked sweaty ass of his. LOL He has one pair of shorts that he occasionally wears that I really like because they show the outline of his big cock head every time he wears them. My cheap thrills: running with my straight, shirtless neighbor, admiring his chest and seeing his visible dick line! LOL
Anyway, on Monday we went for a run. I had calls early (time difference) with my client in Miami so we ran early afternoon. We had a great run and went on one of the longer loops. Towards the end as we were running down the street before ours, both pretty drenched, he was behind me and said something like, “Dude those shorts are clinging to your ass. It’s like I’m looking at your naked ass.” He let out a big laugh and I gave him a running twerk and we both laughed. At the same time I processed that he had never mentioned my body before and had never said anything remotely sexual around me. I told him it was probably because I was wearing a jock and that I was trying them out for running. He said he’d tried a couple of jocks over the years for running and that while conceptually they’d seem like the perfect thing to wear they were always uncomfortable. He said he preferred shorts with liners. He happened to be wearing the shorts that show off his cock head. He was just behind me, over my left shoulder, and I turned, looked down and said, “Like those that always show off your big cock head?” As soon as I said it I thought to myself that I shouldn’t have said “big” and just stuck with “cock head.” He laughed and said, “You noticed.” I responded, “Of course I’ve noticed your dick in those shorts, every time you wear them. I’m gay.” He laughed and said, “I wear them just for you.” To which I replied, “Bastard.” We both laughed. He then said they were really comfortable but a little too revealing and that his wife wouldn’t let him wear them anywhere except out for runs. We both laughed. He then added that he’d love to go commando more often, but even in jeans his cock head shows and that he prefers to be more discreet. I couldn’t believe he was talking about his dick and it was one of those instances when the hot straight guy you’re attracted to mentions his cock and it drives you crazy. As we kept running I just let that last comment go — but I was now getting horny, thinking about what he looks like naked and wanting to see his cock! My dick was beginning to get a little hard.
He shared that he had a couple of pairs of Lululemon shorts with a liner that he really liked (these are not the shorts he was wearing that show off his cock), that we’re probably the same size and he’d let me borrow a pair to try out. We got back to his house first and he went inside to get them. He came back out, handed them to me and said with a laugh, “They’re clean. Please return them that way.” I wore the shorts this morning on a run by myself. They are the same ones
@bdantl99 mentioned: Lululemon Surge Short 4”. For shorts with a liner they are the best I’ve worn. As I was running I thought about my dick and balls being in the same liner pouch as his dick and balls had been and started getting hard a few times. I was definitely leaking some precum. When I got back to my house I got even more horned up and massaged my cock and balls while wearing the shorts. I reached in them, pulled out my dick and was quickly hard. I stepped out of them and held them in my hand, looking at the liner, thinking about his cock and balls. I shot a big load into the pouch thinking about my neighbor’s body and his cock. I used the shorts to milk the last few drops of cum out of my cock. I chuckled to myself and thought “Wtf did you just do!” LOL I went into the laundry room, rinsed them out in the sink, sprayed some pre-wash stain remover on them and threw them into the wash. I just pulled them out of the dryer and they look like new! LOL
==> OK, was that sharing too much info about shooting a load into his shorts??
Long update. I guess the summary is: I don’t think I’m a jock strap guy like some guys are. While I’ve seen some guys look hot wearing them they’ve never been a huge turn on for me. In full disclosure, my boyfriend fucked me this weekend while I was wearing one (and my running shoes!) and said while it was hot in the moment he doesn’t have a jock fetish. Also I don’t think I’d be into wearing a jock under shorts or jeans but am going to give it a try. Functionally, a well-designed and made jock may be something I keep with my workout wear for running. I definitely prefer wearing one when it’s hot outside. And, I am going to order a couple of pairs of those Lululemon Surge Shorts.
