"With Super Bowl 60 coming up Sunday, hunky football jocks are taking center stage. With players urged to "pound the end zone" and "penetrate the defense," the tradition of homoeroticism runs deep on the gridiron. And we're not even talking about the congratulatory bum slapping, or what these modern day gladiators are wearing under their gear. Previously reserved for sports, jockstraps entered the gay conscious in the mid-20th century. They first appeared in Tom of Finland drawings and adult magazines."
"Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy. Now, thanks to the merciful eradication of bottom shaming, they're everywhere. But much like speedos and short shorts, perhaps there is a time and place for them? Or maybe not! This week, we want to know: where do you like wearing a jockstrap and why? CLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW... and don't be shy! We will publish the best responses!"
Super Bowl 60 spotlights hunky football players and entrenched gridiron homoeroticism, with players urged to "pound the end zone" and "penetrate the defense." Celebratory bum slapping and provocative undergarments figure into on-field rituals. Jockstraps transitioned from purely athletic gear into gay consciousness in the mid-20th century through Tom of Finland drawings and adult magazines. The decline of bottom shaming has normalized jockstraps beyond sports, making them ubiquitous in some social contexts. Questions arise about appropriate times and places for jockstrap wear, and readers are invited to share where and why they wear jockstraps, with selected responses to be published.
