Jocksnsocks2002
Gentlemen, I apologize if I sound like a broken record (this expression, of course, also dates me back to an age when phonographs had adjustments for 78rpm). Somewhere along the way, the wearing of jockstraps to protect the loins was purloined by a very powerful, albeit negative force. One member on this site lambasted me for repeating "propaganda from the 1950s" about the reason for EVERY male to wear a properly fitting jockstrap. To the best of my knowledge, the male anatomy has remained unchanged since that time, so why did the attitude shift from one extremity to the opposite against wearing jockstraps as part of preventative sports medicine?
Unless and until WE - yes, the gentlemen who have been raised to wear a jockstrap for all the correct, healthy reasons - unless and until WE join forces through this wonderful website, to bring jockstraps back into the rightful position as the primary equipment for sports medicine, then we are doomed to watch the plummet from millions of jockstraps sold annually to all males down to a few of us who "remember when" and a few more for whom jockstraps are now only associated with a particular fetish.
I appeal to members who have a background in sports medicine, to members who have a background in journalism, to members to have a background in sales in marketing, to collaborate so that those few, negative articles which were posted a generation ago in a few journals but which have contributed ever since to the dearth of jockstrap usage and sales, might be soundly redacted. We need to present medical, scientific data, and we need to present it with the maximum effectiveness so that this very present generation is not injured either through the physical loss of a testicle or the longer-term issue of low sperm count and erectile dysfunction (issues which, I think, are directly related to the ignorant choice of not wearing a jockstrap when engaged in strenuous activities - as taught in the 1950s propaganda, sorry).
How, then, can we collaborate through this excellent forum (thank you, John!) so that the professionals in our midst are able to prepare and to present credible documentation and acceptable data points, and in turn, convince males (who anatomy has not changed) about the long-term health benefits and immediate safety when wearing a jockstrap?
Gentlemen, I believe that we should make this our collective Christmas Present to the next generation.
Thank you for once again listening to me. My prayers are with the young athletes and to their parents so that they will all be enlightened about jockstraps and minimize injuries in the New Year.
Thoughts?
