Athletic cups

[BigGlansDC]

Hi guys,

I am intrigued that nothing has been mentioned about athletic cups in Jockstrap Talk here. As you all know, an athletic cup is necessary protective equipment for male genitals in contact sports like baseball, hockey, football, martial arts, and other sports.

I knew I had to get my first cup just after I got my first jocks in junior high in the early 1960's. In those years, you could order jocks and cups from catalogs like Sears and Montgomery Ward. Or you could get one at almost every sporting goods store around. At that time, you could get cups manufactured by BIKE, Flarico, Bauer & Black, etc. They were mostly the traditional flat variety with ten ventillation holes and a soft, thick gasket. The cup would fit into the a jock tunnel pouch with two metal snaps at the top.

In the 1980's, the first contoured, banana cups came on the market. The BIKE banana cup, the Original Banana Cup, and the UmpCup were and are still the best for comfort and fit.

I like to wear cups not only for sports, but also for leisure wear. I love their sexy feel. Would love to connect with other guys into athletic cups. Attached is me wearing a BIKE banana cup. Enjoy!

I had essentially the same experience - also remember the J&J supporter! However, I bought mine in a sporting goods store with my Dad who told me it was very important for men and boys to wear one.
My Dad played on a softball team and on a few occasions I saw him wearing only his cup - eventually got the nerve to ak him about it. Told me guys had to "protect" their equipment in certain sports where a supporter alone was not enough. Also told me "athletic supporter" was the "polite" term but men referred to them as "jockstraps, jocks or just straps".
Went through a time when I wore jocks as underwear every day - still like to on occassion and enjoy wearing a hard cup - have both regular and banana.
Possibly you have come across the "cup-brief" which is a cotton/lycra jockey brief with a cup-jock built in - friends tell me that this is now commonly known as "Cop-jockeys" since they are supposed to be very popular with police officers - jockey shorts with built in hard cup - have tried them and they are different - you know you have a cup on!

I like cups. Unfortunately rare in Europe. A guy I knew had one. Received from an American friend. I told him I liked the design and the form. He gave it to me. I used it to play with some guys as a kind of chastity device. I once thought about opening a thread here about cups, but my thread turned out to much to be about chastity play. So I didn't post it.

The form and design of cups is something beautiful.

We all know this one:

A story I like:

http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/authoritarian/seattle-jock-slaves

Another story I like:

"Now for the fun part. Actually, you may or may not find this activity fun depending on your mindset. But bear with me. As is widely recognized, the sex organs of a man's body go through a number of erection cycles during the night, some of which may ultimately lead to an unintended orgasm or wet dream. Because of the pressure, any article of clothing that fits tightly to any part of the groin area, (including but not limited to the penis and scrotum} will tend to produce new and perhaps interesting and unanticipated sensations as these arousal cycles proceed. The brain may interpret many of these sensations as providing a great deal of fun (or it may simply interpret them as simply wearing uncomfortable clothing!)

More than a few men enjoy wearing jockstraps as sleepwear. Others who interpret the tactile signals differently (and they have every right to. It's their brain!) describe the sensations in very non-sexual terms--simply as uncomfortable. There appear to be two categories of men: those that prefer loose-fitting clothing and those who enjoy tight fitting clothing as sleepwear. I clearly fall into the latter group. (I also suspect that the loose-fitting group are big on masturbating quickly, focusing almost exclusively on the penis, but that is another arguable story/theory of mine, which will probably result in outcries from the boxer crowd!)

Now suppose that an additional element is added: a hard cup. Much discussion on the daily underWWWear survey and on alt.support.jock-strap centers on the supposedly erotic qualities of the streamlined Bike cup. My problem with the Bike cup is that it doesn't produce a tight enough fit to the penis, allowing the penis to flop around a lot. As sleepwear, in this experiment the whole idea is to find as tight a fitting cup as possible, one that just barely contains your flaccid penis. A couple of readily available possibilities for me are the GRID cup (K- Mart, large youth 26-32) and the Duke (Wal Mart, large youth) but if you really must, you could try the Bike, The GRID is made in China, but the cup of the GRID and the American made Duke are nearly identical in size and shape. The GRID is made of nylon, and feels colder to the skin. The Duke has a broader foam surround on the cup and is made of a softer material, perhaps a cotton or polyester blend. If you must have one, Bike's are available at Target.

Next, slip the jock strap and cup on and crawl into bed. You may want to wear the jock over a tight fitting pair of briefs or even a thong. The pressure of the thong strap along with the straps of the jock is interesting. In addition, for a good fit the cup should be held really tight to the groin, so you may want to top this off with a pair of compression shorts --The Bollingers from K-mart really compress and provide some interesting sensations to the inner thighs as well, but the cotton/lycra Spaulding cycling shorts available at Wal Mart are nifty too.

Try to find a comfortable position to drift off to sleep in. Problem number 1 that may occur: The feel of the cup held tightly to the groin is starting to be interpreted by your body as a sexual rather than as a non-sexual sensation, and you are starting to feel slightly aroused. What's more interesting, you are starting to sense the distinct pressure of the hard cup against the penis. Meanwhile, the cord of the thong is starting to tug away as the penis hardens slightly, and the straps of the jock are starting to bind a bit. What to do? Try to quit thinking about where your sex organs are, and attempt to get some much-needed rest.

Problem number 2: You fall asleep but soon wake up again and the situation is not getting any better. You are still stuck in all the layers of clothing and the straps are starting to really put the tension on. Somehow the sensations of all of this are magnified at night making it more difficult to handle than when you are awake.

Now its 3:00 AM and you discover that the feelings you earlier that night had interpreted as only mildly sexual are turning into a serious hard-on. Your brain interprets the tactile signals from the groin area as if everything in the groin area is getting tighter with no way out. Moreover, the thong strap which was tolerable earlier that nite is really starting to tug on your rear end. Meanwhile, the cup feels hard and cold, the pressure of the hard cup on the penis is building, and can no longer be put out of your mind. Serious trouble! What's worse, you are starting to experience sensations that are screaming to your brain "I need to ejaculate, and the sooner the better!"

You reach down, thinking there is a simple fix to all of this. Just stroke the penis to ejaculate and relieve the pressure. But given the cup and clothing, this is not so easy. That doggone cup is in the way. You know that if you could only touch the frenulum of the penis, you would go off quickly, but that is in a position which you can't get to. At least not very easily. This is maddening. Maddening, frustrating--but at the same time, terrific fun! You are nearly out of your mind in agony, desperately needing to ejaculate but not quite being able to reach the erection level at the point where you can. Keep going. Maybe there is hope.

You keep trying. What will possibly work? You try to stroke your penis through the cup, but that doesn't quite do it. You attempt to adjust the cup by pressing it sideways and downward hoping that you can find some temporary position that will provide momentary relief from pressure and the agony. But if you have chosen your jock strap well, nothing will work. When you move the cup a bit, the penis senses the pressure as a new sensation and gets a bit harder instead. You even try laying on your stomach, but that just presses the cup closer to the groin, which doesn't improve the situation either.

You squirm a lot, in an unsuccessful attempt to relieve the agony. But after what may seem to be an excruciatingly long period of time, perhaps an hour or more,the situation is ultimately resolved. Either (1) the hard-on subsides on its own, (2) you end up reaching a stage where you finally are able to ejaculate into the cup, or (3) In total frustration you pull off everything and masturbate to orgasm. I've had some great orgasms by masturbation (I like to wrap the penis in a facial tissue to collect he ejaculate, then stroke through the tissue) after an hour or two of this, but all three events have happened to me on various occasions. You never quite know how it will turn out.

The amount of fun you will have doing this seems to vary depending on how long it has been since your last orgasm. This activity is particularly enjoyable if you have already gone 2-3 days without ejaculating. So if it doesn't work for you the first night, then try for another nite.

The next day, I often experience some rather weird sensations centered in the pit of my stomach--interestingly enough a craving or longing for the pressure and sensation of the cup to be again held tightly against the groin. A new nervous pathway has clearly developed that "remembers" the sensations of the night before, and craves their continuation. It's the strangest feeling--I come home from work anxious to pull on the cup again. I am curious if others get this delayed sensation as well.

As near as I can determine, this is a quite safe form of sex play for us single and unattached guys. I would like to hear from others who have or are interested in trying this. I would also be particularly interested in other techniques used by those not involved in a sexual relationship with another person. I am not interested in anything that is dangerous, harms someone else, transmits diseases, or involves putting carrots or cucumbers in body orifices where they don't really belong.

Best of luck, and I enjoy hearing about your ideas and experiences. Very little has been written on the topic of sex play for unattached guys. Most sex manuals seen to act as if the problem is one of finding a significant other. I don't see it that way."

Thanks onan

well that is an interesting time you have and one I have to say I have shared on several occasions. the usual set up is a pair of lycra hockey shorts with cup under a second set of duke compression sliding shorts. This can be augmented with a carefully tied 1/2nylon cord that i will try to describe.

about 12 to 20 feet of line folded in the middle and wrapped around your waist
slip the ends back thru the middle loop across your front
take the ends down thru your legs on either side of the cup and up your butt crack
slip the ends under the cord across your back and back down thru your legs to the front once again and tie them off with whatever tension you feel is comfortable.

This makes the 3am wake up call from your cock all the morinteresting as now you have to work a bit to get to the boy and stock it off.



Stayy hard but not too long

I have to say that I have worn a cup with my white briefs on occasion with pants or jeans. Makes for a very pronounced look. If I am wearing some tight lycra shorts, the cup is somewhat noticeable--as are my brieflines. Sometimes, at 3 am, I will go to the supermarket to fetch some items for breakfast, wearing white stretch shorts, a jock with cup, or white briefs with just a cup and a pullover shirt, just to give the stock guys an eyefull. I love it when it is raining hard and I go in soaked, which makes everything quite visible.

This is nice detailed information. Thanks. Stay hard, man. A hard man is good to find.

Guys Guys Guys

Lets have some detail on this thread Onan is right. I packaged up the boys last night for the first time is long while and had a great sleep until about 4am ...... PermaHard all the way. Finally gave in at 6 and released the hound to a real good blast. It was even hotter knowing somebody out there might be doing the same thing.

Oh yea I added another strap to hold things down a bit more and that made it even better.
Get your gear on ....I used a padded hockey cup last night
Get 12 feet of the 1 inch nylon strapping so handy for any little get together and attach a double snap closure like you find on luggage.
center it on your back
wrap it around the front and down between your legs
cross the ties in an x between your legs under your crotch ****
bring them up and around to the front and close the snap
snug to delightfull pressure Snooze away if you can

**** if you like bring the strap down between your legs without crossing sides. It is not quite as comfortable but give it a try . Very different sensation

Let me know what you think tonight I will stuff in the soft side Banana cup with the boys for a totally different feel.

So lets get some details on this thead

StayHard "for as long as you can"

One of the better jock straps to hold a cup is the UnderArmour cup jock

http://www.underarmour.com/ProductDetail.cfm site_id=1&dept_id=1&coll_id=3&pf_id=0271

It works very well with the Original Banana Cup as well as the flexable side
cups from Bike and ShockDoc (www.shockdoc.com).

Your post is a blast, man. I must try this at night. Not sure I will be able to sleep. I wear my cup sometimes during the day. It very nicely restrains all erection, so that I become completely dick focused. That 's great.

And now something slightly different:

Thanks for putting in words the feeling these little adventures of being strapped in bring up (parden th pun).

DICK FOCUSED is the best way to describe it. 100 %

I really have enjoyed sharing what up to now has been a solitary pastime anybody else out there wish to do the same with thier pastimes

StayHard :) :) :) :) :)

[murrayjock]

:blowme :moon What can be of more erotic pleasure then jockstrap and cup combo?

The way the cup is molded to protect your groin. What better place then locker room filled with "boys" after practice stripped to jocks and cups!

Hi guys,

I haven't posted anything on USG forums for many months. So I am here to add some new activity in our discussions. As regards jocks and cups, you should get yourself some Under Armour jocks with cup pocket. They are absolutely awesome. I love the sleek, sensuous feel of their microfiber fabric against my cock and balls. Any athletic cup fits fine in the cup pocket, but a BIKE banana cup, Original Banana Cup, XO ProCup, or Shock Doctor Cup works best with this combo. I love to wear this jock to bed and do some BIKE [cup] riding like very soon tonight.

Under Armour is getting ready to market its own athletic cup. Essentially it is a flex banana cup similar in feel to the XO and Shock Doctor. It comes in youth, teen, and adult sizes. Unfortunately many jockhounds bit me to the punch and the adult size sold out. But Under Armour will have the next batch ready on January 15, 2007. I am sure it is going to be a very popular item.
