Do I have to wear a jockstrap when I play sports?!


Question: Do I have to wear a jockstrap when I play sports!?
I run and play a lot of sports!. However, I don't wear a jock because I don't like the feeling!. I never feel any pain in my privates and my testicles seem to snug up nicely when I am active!. Some of my friends have said I need to wear a jock but I don't see why since I have not experienced any problems for years!. I am 18 years old and old and fully formed, so it is not like I don't have the "equipment" down there!. But should I be wearing a jock!? I don't see why seeing that men have ran and played sports for thousands of years without the stupid things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
When I was in School, I never wore a jock strap!. I too as you, did not like the feel!. Also I'm well developed but thought it was stupid to wear it!. If your involved in contact sports where a baseball is involved or something that could injure you, you might be sorry afterwards!. But lets face it, a piece of cloth is not going to protect you in most sports!. Is it really that much different that briefs!? I don't think so!. I agree- don't bother if you don't want to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it depends on the sport!. I only wore a groin protector when I practiced boxing and when I played baseball!. I never wore one when I played football (soccer) or basketball!.

I guess it just depends how comfortable you feel with it on and how likely it is that you'll get hit below in the sport you're playing!. With boxing, for example, low blows are somewhat common (whether they be accidental or intentional), and in baseball, I didn't want to risk a fastball hitting my nuts!.

I never wore when when I played football (soccer) or basketball because it bugged me with all the running involved!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why don't you ask any of the thousands of professional footballers who DO wear one !? Are all of them stupid, and you are the only smart 18 year old !?

How about the rugby players !? Or the guys who box !?

Karate!? Judo !?

I won't even mention professional ice hockey, where the players wear not only a jock strap but an armoured CUP to protect them against 90 mph slap shots with that frozen runbber puck!.

Wear the thing, and be safer!.

Even if you are smaller than average and don't have the problem of everything flopping around down there, you still wouldn't want your boys to get damaged by flying objects!. Be safe, wear a cup!Www@Answer-Health@Com

dude if you are playing a sport that you will get hit in the nuts like baseball Hocky football that you really need a cup then go for it if your just screwin around with a little b ball or jogging and stuff then use your own judgment!. i agree with you my junk hates being cooped up in a jock you probibly could try a compresson short if you really needed to
