Do you wear a jockstrap playing tennis?

[Forehand_Punisher]

Came across this picture of Thomas Muster and wondered do men still wear jock straps in tennis? I haven't worn one since high school football.http://www.geocities.com/futbolistas4/muster/thomas_muster2.jpg

what were you googling to come across this?????

[kungfusmkim]

Exactly what i was thionking... They used to wear jockstraps? first time hearing about this. How did you know about this?

[Klatu Verata Necktie]

Muster's ungodly package cannot be contained in simple underwear.

[ClubHoUno]

I'm well equipped, so I need to wear a Jockstrap, when playing tennis......but please don't tell it to anyone :lol:

i just wear tube socks and tuck it in:wink:

[tbini87]

i didn't even wear a jock strap when i played baseball and football, so i def don't need one for tennis...

[BullDogTennis]

i usually wear compression shorts to keep stuff from beating around...but jock strap...NO.--im not a big fan of banana hammocks anyhow.

[LafayetteHitter]

Damn, I could've made it through the day without that picture.

[rodtennis3]

[Purostaff]

[!<-_->!]

Thongs ftw

[king of swing]

Thongs ftw

I've got to go with the thongs... so supportive yet freeing at the same time :lol:

Why would you wear a jockstrap during tennis?

[Leelord337]

compression shorts ftw

[Swissv2]

Hockey, yes. Tennis, wth????

[armsty]

I saw then today at the tennis shop I went to, pretty freaked out, $20 for protection of the genetals.

Completely agree

FWIW Jock brief (combines jock + old fashion tidy whites) or jock boxers (kind like compression shorts) Don't like the boys flying around when I'm playing.

Its all personal pref.

In the 70's and 80's jocks were your only choice. Also wore them swimming with our Birdwell Beach Britches(dbl layer nylon).
I wish someone would make polyester jocks.
Nadal might not have to dig so much if he had them under his clam-diggers.

To the naysayers: what's wrong with wearing a jock? Seems like it's a fashion show in here.

[rockbox]

I never understood jock straps. I don't see what it provides that a nice pair of boxer briefs doesn't. I understand a jock strap to hold a cup, but I never understood the purpose of a plain jock strap.

[Douggo]

For me, I don't like all that extra fabric of a boxer brief. It tends to bunch up, cause chafing, etc. The jockstrap offers the support I need and nothing else, which keeps me cooler, too.

[ChipNCharge]

I think some of you are confusing a jock strap (aka "athletic supporter") with a CUP. There is no reason to wear a cup in tennis, but I don't like playing tennis without wearing an athletic supporter. I don't like my stuff bouncing around, and briefs don't work nearly as well.

Haha, from Grease. Classic.


Love the Eraserhead avatar. Another classic.

[ZandyMan]

What's more disturbing about that picture is not that Muster is wearing a jockstrap...but that he showed it off on the court.

[TheShaun]

I saw then today at the tennis shop I went to, pretty freaked out, $20 for protection of the genetals.

my hockey jock is cheaper than that. something i'm thankful for because, truly they could charge anything they wanted and i would pay it for that vital piece of protection.

You know why you can't be an A's fan and a Giants fan?

Because then you'd be a "Giant Athletic supporter"

badum pshhhh

[Hot Sauce]

COME ON! Warn us the next time you're going to post something like that.

[robby c]

I think Muster fell and ripped his shorts.
Nastase changed on court once for the same reason.

I wear panties on my head, with the crotch portion positioned just right :-) So I have openings at both eyes. I become PANTIE MAN! Watch out suckas!

[njjohan]

some shorts have an inbuilt elastic underpant-type thing which seems to serve the same purpose as compression shorts.

[CanadianChic]

What a gem of a thread...and to think I only stumbled upon it by chance. I voted no in the poll. ;)

Oh, I so need this line as my next sig. Permission please? :twisted:

[Lucy Brown]

Always wear compression shorts. No need for the jock.
