Hello men (sorry to all of the ladies out there, I don't think this thread will interest you),

I've been growing concerned about facing testicular damage from being hit there, whether intentionally by an assailant, or accidentally by a toddler, elderly person, a group of terrorists, or anybody else. I'm starting to wonder about how my aging body would cope with being hit there not just once, but repeatedly. It's a thought that worries me, I do not wish to face this pain or damage. My testicles are a great asset to me not only because I function best when they aren't being hit, but also because the thought has crossed my mind that if I ever need some additional money I could look into modeling.

Jock straps/cups seem like such a simple and elegant solution. Athletes wear them. I'm wondering if any of you have contemplated wearing a jock fulltime, and if so, if you could recommend a particular make and model for maximum comfort? How many sets do you own, and how often do you clean them?

Dude, what life are you living that such scenarios are realistic and/or happen with such frequency that you're concerned about it?

Grant I've been kicked in the family jewels severely twice, once was to the extent I blacked out for 2 hrs, mine still operate fine according to my physician.

Unless you're a bad-ass goverment agent who's going 1 on 1 with dirty fighting bad guys only to come home to mis-behaved kids, you have nothing to worry about.

[besson3c]

2 hours??!!! And you're trying to assure me that I'll be fine???

In those 2 hours you could have had your wallet and other possessions stolen, you could have been raped, you could have been attacked by animals if nobody was around to scare them off. That is some serious shit, you are lucky to have survived!

I'm not a bad-ass government agent, but what if someday some dude thinks that I'm somebody else and wants to attack me? What if I come across some guy high on meth after I witnessed him killing somebody and he wants to kill me too? These are just two scenarios I've come up with off the top of my head, there are no doubt many others.

There is too much to risk here, especially since wearing a jock is such a simple and inexpensive insurance policy that can help prevent what I've described.

[iM@k]

I'm completely serious in saying you need to seek help for sfairestraumaphobia.

This is one of those things in life that although it could technically happen, the chances are so astronomically low that enabling protection on a daily basis is a sign of psychological issues.

The male anatomy is not designed to be coupled up, hence why they're external. I read in a magazine (it was either Readers Digest or Time), that some medical research suggest even loose fitting boxers might be to restrictive. In other words: wearing a cup which wear like briefs) everyday could do more harm then prevent it.

[besson3c]

Well, I'd be way too worried to not wear underwear at all, so I'd say that as long as my jock is no more restrictive than my underwear I won't be any worse off.

You've got quite the humour box, but maybe I just don't want my testicles decimated and myself knocked unconscious in tremendous pain?

I work in health care. A number of (male, obviously) nurses and aides where I work either currently wear cups or have done so in other facilities. It makes sense if you are working around people who may not be lucid but are not completely immobile.

Do they take them off when off duty?

Is the dog sad because his master won't give him a bone?


In all seriousness though, this will explain it: Codpiece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My question is, who really wants to get a Besson's junk that bad? I never pictured him as being especially attractive. I'm pretty sure nobody who likes virtualization as much as him could be.

Your face is the one that's not attractive, Salt face! You wouldn't say this if you weren't a racist.

[besson3c]

Besides, this has nothing to do with how attractive I am, it has to do with my well being and insurance of well being. My testicles are pretty big, and I don't want them damaged.

Umpires wear protective gear even though they aren't actually playing baseball, why shouldn't I protect myself even when I'm not doing things that involve projectiles and flailing arms and things that could strike my testicles? What about groin injuries? Many of those groin injuries could be prevented with proper protection.

Oh, I thought that people wore codpieces inside of their pants, like Batman.

I get that dogs like to sniff testicles, but they don't usually bite them. If they were to bite them though, a jock would provide yet another insurance policy, and yet another reason to wear one fulltime.

What happens if a burglar breaks into my house while I'm asleep? He could make a clean getaway by kicking me in the balls and running, and in the middle of the night I wouldn't have time to put on one, which is why wearing one fulltime makes sense.

Despite not being active players, umps are still engaging in an activity where the potential for such injury is a likely possibility. Same with those who work with persons who have involuntary motor controls, or law enforcement officers.

If I had a million dollars and were a gambling man, I'd be willing to bet that 99+% of the guys who engage in such activities remove the protection the rest of the time.

Unless you hang out in the kitchen of my brothers restaurant where "bag tags" are a daily ritual, you have have nothing, let me say that again NOTHING, to worry about.

I stress again you need help. Please make an appointment with a honest, Freud loving, lay down on the couch and tell me how you feel about your feelings shrink ASAP!!!!

[besson3c]

I really don't understand why you are so unconcerned about this danger though when you have brought two new dangers to my attention in the matter of a few posts: the first being the possibility of being knocked unconscious for a couple of hours, and secondly your brother. I don't know what your brother looks like or where he lives, but what if I walk past him one day on the street and he tags my bag?

You seem like the prime candidate to be wearing a jock given these two events in your life. That you aren't makes me really question your intelligence.

Was that before or after you found out you were gay?

Inquirer minds want to know.

Well, that makes sense, just like pro athletes what you do puts you at greater risk.

Personally, I've gone commando since I hit puberty, it's a lot more comfortable. I don't care for the hot, sweaty ballsack feeling.

I never asked. I learned this when discussing with a nurse and an aide how they had safely assisted with a dangerous situation involving a woman whose medical condition caused her to become violent, striking out with all 4 limbs at everyone around her. (I came into the situation as it was being resolved, too late to help - or get hurt.) It seems that this level of self-protection is pretty common in inpatient mental health settings.

Neither do my pants.

Perhaps you should try a kilt?

[iM@k]

Why don't we help each other out.

Let's meet up and I'll bring casting material so I can construct a permanent protective shell over your twigs and berries.

You'll get protection, I'll get a peek. In theory we should both come away happy.

[besson3c]

Permanent casting shell, sort of like Han Solo being sealed in carbonite?

[Waragainstsleep]

You want something more like this maybe:

[hyteckit]

What is this?

The MythBusters?

[besson3c]

I still need to be able to pee and make love though.

[Waragainstsleep]

Theres no pleasing some people.

Not at the same time I hope.

[besson3c]

The thought has crossed my mind about how I could prevent myself from being bag tagged or attacked by a burglar or some other assailant while peeing or making love though.

I don't usually do both at the same time, but sometimes when I orgasm a little pee comes out.

[subego]

You sure about that?

[besson3c]

Yeah, why?

[iM@k]

And hytechit jumped the shark with is Mythbuster question to soon.

[subego]

It seems odd enough I find it more likely you're mistaken.
