I wanted Dylan to experience some of the same sensations that I have enjoyed over the years wearing a snug-fitting athletic supporter and cup as part of his sleepwear. A basic problem I faced is that it is becoming more and more difficult to find an appropriate old school strap and cup similar in design to the ones I have found to be fun to wear over the years. So I did some on-line searching and found something that looked very close to the old school designs, from a company called ProForce® that caters to a martial arts clientele. This strap and cup is also relatively inexpensive as protective groin gear goes ($12 for the cup and strap). I was curious if I had ordered the right one so I had to order the same as Dylan would have ordered.

A lot of young males just past puberty, are very fearful of being in a situation where they are required to wear a strap and cup. The two common sports would be Pee-Wee baseball and anything involving martial arts. While being wear of the need for groin protection in these sports, deep down the guys are worried about how their bodies will react to being confined inside a cup and strap. “What happens if I start to get hard inside of that?” is the common question that none of the guys dare to even articulate.

Jock-strap manufacturers, realizing this issue affects sales, have responded to all of this with a variety of products designed to address the issue, starting with the bigger “banana style cups” that are roomy enough so that your anatomy, even somewhat erect, has ample space to grow. We also see compression shorts with pouches for cups etc. all designed deep down to allay fears regarding what will happen if I have to wear a snug-fitting traditional strap with an equally snug-fitting cup. Traditional (old-school) strap sales have been declining for ages, probably largely because of increasing apprehension by teen-agers about wearing one and what might happen.

What Dylan discovered in a previous chapter is the same thing that I discovered years ago, which, simply put, is having your penis and balls inside a snug-fitting cup and strap can be a fun thing, assuming you aren’t trying to keep your mind focused on a baseball game or a martial arts competitive event.

Penises do what penises do. Penises seem to have almost a mind of their own with respect to understanding when they are in a confined space, space that limits the ability to grow and get hard at the same time. At age 19, Dylan has discovered this too. But penises are also capable of providing the guy with the most wonderful sensations imaginable once they are in that situation. So a strap and cup like the ProForce can become a wonderful toy for playing with yourself and also learning how your mind and body responds to having your penis in a confined space. Attempting to sleep in one of these gets you into a situation where your penis will go into its normal phases of erection and flaccidity during the night. Combine this with a dream with sexual overtones and the guy quickly gets into a situation like Bill and Joe were in a number of chapters ago. This is all great fun, but I can also see where it could be a bit scary for a young teen-age male. Dylan right now is just working his way through all of that.

Me? I long ago lost my fears, and I like to undersize the strap and cup, for maximum sensations. I went with the “Youth Large” size rather than the “Men’s Small” in large measure because the Youth cups are smaller and therefore more confining. I usually get the best results with the Youth-sized cups.

If you are new to all of this, the ProForce ® is a great strap for someone just beginning to experiment with his body. In the process, a guy will learn a lot about developing ejaculatory control as well, useful when you face all sorts of different partner-related situations in later life. You can learn as Dylan learns. Will this work for my readers? That is a good question, but I would not be writing this if I did not believe it would!
