I know this is a weird topic. I just got done lifting and for some reason I thought of my junior high and high school gym days and the requirement for an athletic supporter. Now I never lift with one and I don't even know if it's something that's even available anymore. Are jock straps a thing of the past that were found to be unnecessary? What exactly was the purpose? To keep ones balls from bouncing around or what?

I laughed reading this thread. No nut huggers here. Just boxers.

I forgot about that, no clue.....

Boxers seem to work just fine these days. Plus the balls are a little more compact than they use to be....

Right now my nuts are like 2 fina pellets. You think
I need a fucking athletic supporter. LOL

I have the frank, but not the beans.

Not wearing one certainly hasn't made my nuts hang down to my knees, so what was it's purpose? It looks none of us use them, yet we strain and groan with all our might in the gym and no one has any negative effects from skipping this piece of "athletic equipment".

They are used to hold everything in place, while moving during athletic activity. But like many said, nuts arn't what they use to be.
