If you've never worn a jockstrap, be warned: one pair will quickly turn into 10.
Jocks are underrated for many reasons, but a lot of men still seem hesitant to wear them and make them part of their wardrobe.
Let's take a look at 15 reasons every gay guy should own and wear AT LEAST one pair.

The straight boys, the gay boys, the muscly boys, the bigger boys, and everybody in between can and does wear jock straps. We'll delve more into the why coming up, but everyone can rock a jock.

Just like everyone being able to wear one if they choose, I reiterate: Everyone can rock a jock. The way it makes everything look and feel is a major reason people buy them, but the fact that no one can look bad in one plays a big part, too.
Briefs can ride up in the front and back, but jockstraps don’t. They’re surprisingly more comfortable than briefs (if you get the correct size).

Honestly, wearing a jock really helps with breathability down there. Sometimes boxers or briefs or other underwear can feel more constricting and cause chaffing if you sweat a lot, but jock straps help prevent the athlete’s itch.

Jockstraps were initially created to help athletes and they’re designed to help minimize any shifting you may experience during exercise, so wearing one when you’re lifting, doing cardio, or yoga, a jock will make the exercise easier.
Fact: wearing sexy underwear boosts your confidence. I’m not sure the science behind it, but there’s no doubt about it. You feel like a million bucks when you wear something a little more risque down there.
It’s like a sports bra for men. Jock straps keep everything from moving around when there’s some turbulence.
Enhancing both the front and back parts you perhaps want to look a little larger or firmer.
Sexy underwear is a kink for many gay men. So if you’re hooking up with someone new and surprise them with your undies, they’ll be very aroused.
I cannot tell you how many types there are. Anything and everything you could possibly imagine from colors, to fabrics, to cuts, to doesigns. You can never have enough.
So if you go online to the actual store themselves, jockstraps can be between 20 and 40 bucks (sometimes even more)! This is ridiculous and a complete waste of money. Last week, the 8 pairs of jockstraps and thongs I bought were less than $40 total. (Still, I may have gone a little bit overboard...I’m aware...) I use these two websites. They have daily deals and are super cheap. Cheapundies and aliexpress.
Don’t take them off right away as you’re getting intimate with your partner or casual encounter.
Wear them. Play with them. They make for incredible foreplay.
Just throw them in. They’re done quickly. You can hang them to dry and it only takes only a few hours. No folding afterward. They don’t take much space in your dresser. They're the ideal article of clothing.
Knowing you have something sexy and fun underneath your boring suit can make you feel a little naughty, spicing up your mundane work attire (and life).
If you don’t think so by now, I don’t know what else I can say. Just yes.
