survey results  Ever wish you could "get over" your fetish?

For years I thought I was the only one with a jockstrap fetish. It wasn't until the internet in 1994 that I discovered there were others like me. I was never embarrassed... just wondered why it was only ME (at the time) who felt like this. Never, EVER wished I could "get over" my erotic feeling for jockstraps. 

Just like jockstraps, not obsessed. I celebrate my sexual feelings. 

No I never wished I would get over these feelings.  I think its hot and there’s nothing wrong with it.

I used to be afraid of someone seeing me put on my jockstrap in the locker room. Looking at store displays and reading the supporter boxes made me feel dirty. Even today I don't like to spend more than a minute in the jockstrap section of a sporting goods store because an employee or someone I know might see me and think I'm a pervert. Now having the morning regulars in the gym seeing me in my jockstrap is not that big of a deal. I have periods of up to a month or two that I don't spend too much time with my jock fetish, but the feelings always come back at the beginning of a sports season. I hope to always be in good enough shape to have that classic athletic look wearing nothing but a jockstrap. 

After I realized in jr high school that I was as well hung as the other guys, it helped me gain confidence in being myself. I will sometimes wear a jock in place of underwear 

The topic of jockstraps is very dichotomous. It leads me to feelings of embarrassment, but also is very sexy, and turns me on. 

Guilt and shame when adolescent; I just enjoy it as an adult. 

No shame, no guilt... maybe some embarrassment because I bought them primarily for the purpose of my enjoyment, when I had always thought of them to be used only in sports, which turn me on also. 

I love jocks. I don't want to ‘get over’ it. I still enjoy them as much as I did the first time I put one on. 

Nope, no, love it, no regrets. 

No I love jockstraps, don’t feel guilty.

There was guilt at first but I am now over that. I am in the closet about the fetish for the most part. 

Love jockstraps and tight whites along with boxer briefs—hasn't changed other than as I am older, I enjoy seeing jocks more on guys over 25, especially those who are married and still like to show their equipment 

I consider it healthy. I like my body and I like the way I look in a jock and how it feels. I like sex in a jock and am totally comfortable. A mild fetish adds to sexual excitement and makes sex more interesting. 

I love this fetish. Never embarrassed... hell, I show it off to whoever wants to see it! I'm proud of being a jock wearer, and have tried to get other guys to 'convert' as well. I've never wanted to 'get over it' either. My love of straps has only gotten deeper and more intense over the years, also. There truly is nothing better than the jockstrap. 

Like most, I suppose, I used to think that I was the only one and a completely perverted freak. Once I found others like me (thru the Internet, ca. 1995), I finally wizened up and realized that I wasn't alone. 

It isn't guilt or shame, but I don't want people to know about it. I used to feel very embarrassed when I bought one, but now I only feel a little embarrassed. I keep my large collection of jockstraps in a box in the bedroom closet. I worry that if I would die, someone in my family will find them and think I was really weird. 

When I was a teenager, I had to be very careful about my jockstrap/cup fetish, particularly with my mother, who was aware of it and a couple times, disapproved. Fortunately, things loosened up a great deal when I went away to college. Although at college, I had to still keep all of it to myself for fear being considered weird or even queer by my college buddies. During this time, I enjoyed shopping for my favorite item and met some very friendly male clerks, who were definitely sexy. That was during the period 1968-1974. When I graduated from college and started working fulltime and got a place of my own, all embarrassment and shame of my fetish disappeared although I didn't know anybody else like me. When I got on the Internet in 1994, all that changed because I met many other guys in cyberspace who share my fetish, some of which I chat with occasionally on IRC. I have a good buddy near me in the city where I live who shares my fetish, but we have other interests as well. When I was a teenager, yes, I had wished that I could get over attachments to masturbation, other guys, and jockstraps/cups. Fortunately, I have been liberated from such embarrassment for many, many years :) 

I did have an embarrassing time when I was in jr high and was "busted" wearing a jock and everyone in class found out about it. I do not ever want to get over my jock fetish. I like my body in a jock and like seeing other guys in jocks as well.

I've never wished to get over these feelings. I think Jocks are an incredible masculine thing and it makes me feel like a man all the time I wear / buy one. I just wish I could find a partner who would be interested in using them during sex 

Used to feel ashamed by my fetish. Gradually finding out others had this same fetish and getting into my fetish more by wearing jockstraps everyday have helped me get over my shame. 

I didn't know why they made me hard, and I wish that I knew that it was normal to get hard when I put one on 

A fetish or two, while under reasonable control, is a healthy exercise for the mind. No, I've never felt guilty about jocks. 

I love the erotic feeling, and never want it to go away. No shame or embarrassment. It's been the same since I first discovered jocks. 

More just uncertainty if I would be considered odd for wearing one without it being mandatory. I do wish to get over this fear and get more into wearing and discussing them. 

I used to feel guilty. When I found out how many other guys have the same fetish, the guilt went away 

I love my fetish for jockstraps. I have not had guilt or anything like that. I would never want to give up the jockstrap feelings i have. 

The only embarrassment is getting hard in a store, have never felt shame.

All sports gear really singlets, striped ball pants (baseball) anything that shows a strap line, feel fine about it. 

I enjoy it and it doesn't harm anyone! As a matter of fact it protected the boys from serious injury numerous times. Could be the reason that I was able to father two daughters as quickly as I did with my wife. Besides my wife enjoys me wearing one and, as a throw back to my teen bra snapping phase, she loves to snap my waistband or leg straps, which usually causes a hard dick to develop—causing uncontrollable sex! Feel guilty: NEVER! Want to quit: HELL NO! 

I certainly wouldn't want my general friends or coworkers to know I'm into jocks, but it just makes it more fun when a lover knows. 

I would love to be able to share my true feelings about jockstraps with a personal friend. My fetish harms no one and is a manifestation of my masculinity. 

None. I think it is extremely healthy. It's a male-only thing, just like gay sex. 

My feelings about jockstraps hasn't changed since my first experience in jr. high and I don't want it to change.

When I discovered jockstraps, I shared it with everyone who would listen! I love jockstraps! I've never felt ashamed about it. 

I never wish to get over my erotic feelings about jockstraps—they emphasize maleness, the sex organs, the orgasm.

NOPE!! I love havin' a 'STRAP FETISH' and don't wanna give it up EVER! 

Yeah, I used to feel guilty about it, but that was part of the whole gay guilt thing. Once I got over that, the jock thing was OK. Then, with the internet, I found out there were tons of guys into straps, so that actually made it really cool! 

This came up completely out of the blue. Shortly after I got a home computer and started finding my way around the web I started collecting jock pictures just to see how many different ones I could find. I now have something over 2000 different pix of guys in jocks. I can't say I was ever ashamed or guilty over it. It has just become a kind of hobby. 

I find it VERY stimulating with an understanding partner and I keep quiet around those who wouldn't understand. I Hope I never get over this fetish :) 

I love it, that is how I feel about it. Yes, sometimes I wish I could get over it. But, that is only because I hardly ever find guys in my area interested in them... But, I get over that. 

Have no guilt whatsoever. 

Jockstraps are one of my biggest fetishes. There was never any guilt or anything like that. I hope I never get over this fetish! 

I have separate jocks for the gym and sex. I don't want my co-workers to see the cum stains.  

No problem with it. Love it! 

Was embarrassed for a long time and would not let anyone see me in a jock, but have found that it isn’t such a weird fetish and that many people have it.  I now am jocked most of the time and, while not many people see me in my jocks, it no longer bothers me. My sex partners know of it and are asked to participate in it; if they are freaked out by my strap or wont indulge my fetish the attraction is over.

I only ever had to wear one in the 6th grade. It was embarrassing to me then, even though everyone in the class had to do it. Then we moved and it was never required again. When I was 20 something and started going to the gym regularly was when I first started seeing and wearing them again. Then it was just plain HOT. 

When I was a teen it was embarrassing—not wanting to stare.  Now I love them. 

It was my personal secret.  I could not discuss with anyone. I thought I was the only one with a fetish. Internet chat allowed me to talk about my fetish with others. Will continue to enjoy jocks. Always looking for used jocks. Got a hardon taking this survey.
