    Jockstraps were common in sports in the U.S. and even required in gym in many schools. The purpose was to protect the genitalia during sports activities by keeping them secure and in place. Some spots (football/baseball/hockey) included a hard cup should a ball or puck hit that area.

    They originated in the late 1800s/early 1900s for bike riders–who were called “bike jockeys”–to move the genitals up/forward while riding bikes for a long period; they were originally called “bike jockey straps,” which eventually became “jock straps.” That is why Bike is a major jockstrap company to this day.

    I don’t know if that was just a really great advertising scheme to get people to “require” them for various sports activities or not, as I don’t think they actually do a whole lot to help with anything other than making sure circumcised males don’t get a boner while moving about during sports…which is probably why they were recommended!

    But, they do make for interesting looks and such, and for easy access for those who like anal.

    Now, suspensories are a whole other, further story. 😉
