Jockstrap for HS Gym

Question

YES or NO,

my dad is insisting I wear one because he wore one in his day and my older brother did. How many guys wear them nowadays anyway

Answer 1

NO, it's unnecessary if you're just going to be in the regular old gym class.

Answer 2

I never wore a jockstrap in highschool nor did I know anyone else who did. I wore compression shorts a lot though because it keeps your junk from bouncing around when your running.  

Answer 3

Unless your gym class is going to be engaging in competitive sports, I would skip out on it, simply because none of the other guys are going to wear one either. I *do* recommend compression shorts, though- it gives you a lot more support, especially when you're running.

Answer 4

you really don't need one. but the really help support your stuff. boxers don't give your special area any kind of support. the end result is that when your older. you stuff will sag. therefore boxer breifs or briefs are better to wear in general. they give you the support you need. but no! you don't have to wear the jock strap. they are uncomfortable anyway. its like butt floss.

Answer 5

no.. ur dads a idiot and obviously you are the loser in the grade..  

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

you dont need one for gym class, for your own sake and reputation dont get one.  only get one if u are on a sports team like lacrosse, football, hockey, baseball, wrestling ...etc

Answer 10

When I was in school, jockstraps, along with t-shirts and gym shorts were provided by the school.  Gym class at my kids' school is pretty much a joke.  They don't dress out and have organized activities.  They may play dodge ball or basketball, but most sit around and socialize or do homework.  

Providing support for your testicles during physical activity is the correct thing to do, regardless of what everyone else does.  If your gym class is like my kids', then briefs or boxer briefs is probably sufficient.  If you have a real gym class, I'd encourage you to take your dad's advice.

Answer 11

no for my HS gym, nobody did, but then our P.E. class consisted of table tennis most days

Answer 12

NO, dont do it, weird. Everyone will think your retarded. Maybe if you were playing competitive football or baseball but NOT gym class

Answer 13

DONT IT MADE MY BALLS FALL OFF.

Answer 14

Like your dad come from the old school of jockstraps, we were required to have supporters as part of of PE uniform.  Glad for at times it rough playing dodge ball.
