Babygirl, unpack yr sweaters and get FABULOUS in FALL gay homo queer &c 2012

i don't wear them... i like to see them being worn

xpost

Yeah. No big deal.

I mean, they're really no fun unless in the bedroom. Or, you know, being used for their actual purpose, I suppose.

I'd never heard of shakshuka, but it looks delicious! And very easy to make.

Jock straps make me feel uneasy, both wearing them and seeing them worn.

I'm with rev, can't see the appeal of jockstraps. I like sock garters on some men, but not jockstraps. They look tacky.

I own but it's been awhile since I've put it on for recreational fun.

Stevie, since my mouth tastes like socks from the pills I'm taking, I challenge you to cook me something I can taste.

i posted this quote re: jockstraps in the summer 08 gay thread:

"... perhaps the quintessential homoerotic ritual robe because, just as it enshrines the symbol of the myth of masculinity, so too the straps that originate in the top elastic circumscribe the buttocks and disappear in the anus, bringing us to that place where masculinity meets its mythic undoing. And so, as suggested by the versatility of Apollo, there are two sides to the jockstrap that symbolize the homoerotic paradox: the pouch in the front as the shrine of masculinity joined to the straps in the back framing its mythic violation."

it bears repeating

mythic myth

why the fuck is the anus the "mythic undoing of masculinity"? Who wrote that?

writing (homo or hetero) that gets all "worshiping at the mystical shrine of genitalia" seems so silly to me

jockstraps have always seemed too, idk, functional and sporty to be sexy to me

steve: http://books.google.com/books?id=6uk7y9hdkqwC

functionally, jockstraps are about range of motion and keeping yr sensitive junk stationary and protected throughout those movements -- i've not read that book (tho i find that quote kind of hilarious) but i think the erotic appeal of the jockstrap is about its place in athletics & physical culture in general, about the forbidden rush seeing bodies in the locker room, and about the titillation of a transitional state of undress (concealed from the front, naked from behind)

imho

as I'm sure I've said before in these threads, my taste in guys runs distinctly toward the femmey. I've never had that sort of idolization of the athletic body.

oh i love the athletic body but i'd far rather see it in sports kit (or, like, naked) - i think 1) jockstraps aren't a very british thing, so i don't have any sensual irl memories of them, 2) i do have irl memories of locker rooms and as much as hot naked sportsmen are great, locker rooms are basically kinda gross, esp school locker rooms

iirc the ideal placement of a jockstrap is on the beefy hindquarters of a rugby player

locker rooms are basically kinda gross, esp school locker rooms

otm x1000

few places i'd less rather be than a locker room

rugby players take the athletic body too far for me. TOO beefy really

different strokes, but i am mostly about THAT ASS and also THOSE THIGHS

This thread keeps pushing me closer to the realization that my tastes have been ruinously malformed via porn. Or else I'm the only one admitting it.

in what direction?

the older i get the more i realize my sexual tastes were formed while being in middle school wrestling and seeing the high school seniors weighing-in

^^ otm

so in love with the expression 'beefy hindquarters'

locker rooms are definitely where i perfected the art of the furtive glance

haha yup.

"oh no, my shoe is untied! guess i'll just stoop down and tie it very slowly and carefully. there. done. oh, well, what do you know! now my other shoe is untied."

Locker rooms were where I first noticed pecs.

iirc the ideal placement of a jockstrap is on the beefy hindquarters of a rugby player in your face

that jockstrap quote repeats too many words and tries super hard and reads like a precocious undergrad's attempt and failure of Academic Writing and also seems idk kind of gender reinforcey

i ordered some bike #10s a few months ago.

summary judgment: there's a reason they stopped making them.

mb the winter thread should contain jockstrap pics

It's too simplistic and reductive to say "masculinity is already defined and it's definition cannot be modified and getting some anus action is SO UNMASC; *points at jockstrap* isn't it such a quaint paradox???"

Like, rewrite the rules instead of buying into them, asshole

xp what is wrong w them?

Mines got green and gold stripes and matching tube socks, its too adorable, you'll love it.

they smell like polyblend and fall apart in the wash x-post

i do like the 3" waistband though.

as my professors say: "show, don't tell"

white white white is the color of my jockstrap

worst john jacob niles concert ever

I hate people I don't like.

i hate but love

I don't know what a jockstrap is, I know what it looks like, but divorced from first-hand knowledge of its functional applicability it is as foreign to me as garter-belts. I played some sports but never enough to have to wear a cup and/or a jockstrap so it's just some strappy underwear. If you're smiling while you're wearing one I'm into it.

Locker rooms totally rule, though, I'm over it now but I was so into taking off my clothes in school, wooo

If you're smiling while you're wearing one I'm into it

good life advice.

er... life philosophy.

If you're smiling while not wearing anything is good philosophy.

not smiling is hot too

fuck perkiness
