We’re not going to beat around the well-trimmed bush here, an essential in the sexualty liberated gay man’s arsenal is the jockstrap. First introduced almost 150 years ago by C. F. Bennett of a Chicago sporting goods company, Sharp & Smith. It was designed to provide comfort and support for bicycle jockeys working the cobblestone streets of Boston. Most of us modern men are more familiar with contact sports such as hockey, soccer, baseball, and football being sports where jockstraps and a protective pouch are called for.

All that’s great, but the once subculture of gays and their love of jocks (and their straps! Ayooo!) has gone very very mainstream. And it’s not just those old school athlete styles — although those certainly still have an element of sex appeal — but an entire array of sheer, meshy, strappy, tight, titillating banana hammocks that can be procured to cater to your, and your partners, exact specifications.
So where does one begin? Well, there are some brands that create straps for form, some for function, and some for both. It all depends on what you’re in the mood for. We wouldn’t quite call them fashion for the male anatomy, but we wouldn’t not call them fashion either.
We dug deep in the dark corners where the sun don’t shine on the internet to find some of the best — and sexiest — men’s jockstrap underwear you can buy right now.
