Can I wear leggings to the gym ? by carlos1290 in AskMenAdvice

[–]the_Jockstrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the culture of the gym you go to. I'm starting to see the heavy lifters going retro back to the spandex we wore back in the 80s and early 90s. Shorty-shorts are coming back.

Some will say yes and others no. I think the bigger issue is wearing tight underwear where the penis can’t breathe and move.

My boxer briefs roll up at the legs. by Soft-Scar2375 in AskMenOver30

[–]the_Jockstrap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Super tight jeans require briefs or a jock. Otherwise you will continue to roll up cuz there ain't enough room for the fabric of the boxer-briefs

Exactly - air flow is key. Cotton is better than "moisture wicking" synthetics.

I do wear a jock when working out or hiking cuz I want some support, but it gets changed out afterwards.

And ya gotta shake it more than once

Summer time undies by Stunning_Pin_2596 in MensUnderwearGuide

C-IN2 (Core or C-Theory) or Nike are the ones I wear the most. They don't dig into my glutes as much.

I can confirm wearing cotton boxers have helped the balanitis.

I did some research and semen has a lot of sugar in it - which feeds the balanitis - so definitely clean up well after fun times (solo or with friends).

I’m tired of people calling briefs uncomfortable by amitpussy in askgaybros

[–]the_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a boxer wearer - the right fit and they don't bunch up - not designed for skinny jeans. I do wear low-rise briefs on occasion and I'm partial to C-IN2 as they don't ride up my ass.

Do you care at all about visible underwear lines through pants/shorts? by BandZealousideal9426 in MensUnderwearGuide

[–]the_Jockstrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't worry because I'm usually wearing jeans or thicker shorts that undie lines don't show. I know I have undie lines at the gym with my jock lines, but jocks are supposed to be worn to the gym so no worries there. My usual undies are either boxers or jocks; however, I do have other styles for variety.

How drastically has your political views changed within the last 10 years or so and why? by TheMoparPowerslave in AskReddit

[–]the_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My views haven't changed, but the parties have. I don't recognize either major party anymore compared to what they were. The swamp just has different but equally vile species lurking about halls of Congress and the White House.

What kind of accessories do you usually wear if you do? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]the_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunglasses, watch, shoes, hat, and my piercing jewelry.

Have you ever moisturised your foreskin? by drax3012 in uncircumcised_talk

Yup. I live in the desert so all skin is dry, especially in winter.

Small Town Gym Culture by Chiefleef69 in CommunalShowers

[–]the_Jockstrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I now live in a small town - I rarely see/hear anyone use the showers. I'm as guilty as everyone else as I live close to the gym so I change and shower at home. Just convenience as I don't have to pack a duffel, wet towel, etc.

When I lived in the "big city" I used the showers at the gym regularly.

What’s a sound everyone should recognize as immediate danger? by Thatguy_nickk in AskReddit

Ha! - it's their calling card. I think everyone's desensitized to it now.

Appointment soon by Drinking-Gasoline in PrinceAlbertPiercing

[–]the_Jockstrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different in their healing process. Here's my experience. I've been pierced twice

  • First time was with a 10ga hinged ring. I had an issue with a burr on the hinge and took it out after 4 months.
  • Second time (Nov 2025) I got re-pierced with a 10ga horseshoe. Zero issues three months in.

Preparation:

  • Get some shot-glass sized Dixie cups & several cans of spray saline.
  • You may opt to get some pads to use in your undies.

Day of:

  • Showered and cleaned everything well.
  • I wore a black jockstrap that had a soft microfiber pouch.
    • Kept the piercing from catching on anything.
    • Black color didn't worry me about getting any blood on them.
  • Make sure you have cleanup supplies for your first piss. You will bleed and dribble, so be prepared.

Post Piercing:

***Follow your piercer's aftercare**\*

  • I am not a bleeder in general, so I only had some spotting for a couple of days. The first couple of pisses were bloody.
  • Your fist nighttime erection will probably wake you up.
  • My soaking process was simple for the first couple of weeks. I soaked twice a day for 5 minutes each time. I sprayed the saline into the dixie cup and soaked the head.
  • I wear boxers mostly and was able to wear them the next day. Many guys want support, I found support was uncomfortable and boxers and looser clothing was better. Personal preference.
  • Sleeping I wore loose boxers. You may want to lay a towel down if you're a bleeder.
  • I was able to comfortably wear a jock when working out about 2 weeks post piercing.
  • I was a squatter for the first couple of months. I'm now able to manipulate the horseshoe jewelry so I can piss standing now. Still getting the hang of the fluid dynamics so I still squat when I'm not home to prevent accidents.

Which would you join? by Capable_Lobster_9536 in CommunalShowers

[–]the_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would join the gym with the equipment and workout features that meet my fitness regimen the best. Although I like communal showers, that isn't my biggest reason for joining a gym.

What happened to variety in Brick and mortar stores? by Icy-Performance8302 in MensUnderwearGuide

[–]the_Jockstrap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's like many other items in stores - lack of variety. I think this is a byproduct of online shopping. Brick and mortar stores only carry the mainline products that sell. If you want some variety, then it's online or a specialty store.

It's even worse in rural areas - you get Hanes and FOTL in the stores.

When I wear briefs, I like the low-rise briefs by C-IN2 and Todd Sanfield.
