A boy’s first jockstrap is something of a rite of passage, indicating that he has taken 1 step closer, physically at least, to becoming a man. It may be the first time that a boy becomes aware of what might be termed adult male organ health issues. Sure, he has (hopefully) been carefully washing his male organ for years, but wearing a jockstrap brings up the whole concept of male organ protection - and that’s something he may not have had reason to investigate. (Hopefully he has been spared any nasty and unfortunate zipper accidents.)

But if a jockstrap provides male organ protection, there are also some ways in which it can be somewhat, shall one say, problematic. Below are some of the pros and cons associated with the jockstrap.

Pros

- Athletic support. There’s a reason it’s called an athletic supporter, and wearing a jockstrap while playing sports can indeed provide some male organ protection. This is especially true when one uses the plastic cup insert into the pouch, which provides quite a bit more male organ protection from a line drive to the sacks or a knee to the privates. ...
... And even without the cup, the support offered by the jockstrap helps keep the male organ and the sacks in place when running.

- Good look. For some men, wearing a jockstrap accentuates their positives. For example, while the pouch does compress the male organ and the sacks so that they may not look as large as one might want, the "open rear" can highlight the buttocks, for men for whom that is an asset.

- Fights odor. The mesh-like weave of most traditional jockstraps allows air in and out, allowing the male organ to "breathe." This means that there is less sweat, and the odor that is caused by the sweat that does accumulate has a chance to disperse somewhat. This lowers the amount of male organ odor. Of course, since jockstraps typically are worn when a man is engaged in significant physical activity, there will be more sweat than when one is just, say, sitting at one’s desk. But even so, there is a male organ odor benefit.

Cons

- It can be uncomfortable. Jockstraps provide protection by essentially compressing the space where the male organ and the sacks reside - and that isn’t always comfortable, especially when a man feels excited while wearing a jockstrap.

- Not everyone looks good. Men who are uncomfortable or insecure about the way their buttocks appear may feel that the jockstrap accentuates this feature in a negative way. Those who are insecure about the size of their male organ may not like the fact that the compressed pouch makes the male organ generally look smaller.

- Heat. While the mesh weave can provide air flow in and out of the pouch, the compression also creates more intense heart. It may not necessarily lead to greater sweating, but it can raise the temperature in the sacks, which in turn can have a negative impact on male seed production.

- A good fit is essential. If the fit is too tight or too loose, it can interfere with male organ protection. If it is too tight, it may cut into circulation. Too loose a fit, on the other hand, may not compress the package sufficiently, diminishing the jockstrap’s effectiveness.

Ultimately, whether a jockstrap provides sufficient male organ protection depends upon an individual’s level of activity. Those who are involved in heavy-duty sports are more apt to benefit from male organ protection than those who are less physically active.

Beyond a jockstrap, 1 way to increase male organ protection is via daily use of a top-shelf male organ health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). This male organ protection targets health issues by utilizing an oil which has, for example, a high-end emollient (such as shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E) to protect and restore male organ skin. The oil should also include L-carnitine, which has neuroprotective properties to help maintain proper male organ sensation.
