Part 2

The internet is abuzz with discussions related to jock straps--A whole news group alt.support.jock-strap is devoted to it. This newsgroup does not exist because of widespread interest in what needs to be worn to protect oneself during contact sports--there is obviously something with sexual overtones going on here. In describing the following technique, I am indebted to one of my e-mail newsgroup contacts, who provided me with some ideas I had not thought of, but I have added some additional ideas of my own that seem to work for me.

[Ahhh...the olden days of newsgroups that were early versions of a chat room but not in real time]

Most men, when they think of sexual feelings, tend to identify with the pleasant sensations obtained from stroking the penis, particularly the underside of the head, or the area technically called the frenulum (Has it occurred to everyone that there is a biological reason why nature made that particular spot is so ultra-sensitive? e-mail me and I will explain my theory on that further). But the entire groin area is one giant erogenous zone, including little recognized places such as the inner thighs, and in particular, the area between the scrotum or anus.

[even back then, I was perineum-focused...At this point I was just discovering exactly where my body was most sexually sensitive. I discovered something new and often memorable nearly every day, and of course had to write it down to see if the other newsgroup members already were aware of the same thing. I was experimenting and learning new things every day about the sexually sensitive or erotic areas in my body. I started researching all of this further and quickly discovered that medically the perineum area is a tiny point where a large bunch of nerve endings terminate, different from but not that dissimilar to the frenulum and even the entire head of the penis. As such, this is another bodily area that always wants to be touched, fondled and otherwise played with to stimulate erotic feelings. I started to be concerned that a lot of guys have never gone through this step-by-step bodily exploration process in the manner in which I was doing, and further, that what I was discovering in my solo experiments could be useful knowledge to bring into a relationship with a partner of either sex. What does this all have to do with cups and straps, anyway? Well, keep reading!]


Thus, any article of clothing that comes into contact with any of these areas is capable of introducing sensations, some perceived as being clearly sexual, others not, and still others in a strange halfway region that depends on the particular situation. Most men have trouble interpreting signals in this latter category. What goes on at the underWWWear site frequently reflects men's interest in the sensations that are not clearly sexual but are not clearly non-sexual either. Most of these sensations are pleasant, but some are interpreted by the brain as being more nearly sexual than others. Is the simple act of putting on a tight fitting pair of underwear sexual or not? I suppose that depends on how the individual interprets the tactile signals. The underWWWear site has served an important function in showing that there are a lot of men, regardless of orientation, who are not certain what to make of all this. However, if you interpret a sensation to be sexual, then for you it undoubtedly is.

Jock straps are of interest because they are the one article of clothing (underwear) that by design and purpose, fit very tight to the groin, perhaps tighter than any other garment. But as the underWWWear site suggests there is also a good deal of quasi-sexual interest in brief and thong swimwear, cycling and compression shorts that contain spandex and the like. (I'm still trying to figure out loose-fitting "boxerpeople"in this regard. Something similar must be going on based on their observed behavior--perhaps some of you could clue me in on the details of how you interpret the tactile signals from loose fitting boxers. I don't mean to demean my friends who wear boxers, its just that the tactile signals appear to me to be less clear)
