What to wear?

[sebbie]

A wrestling singlet makes perfect sense as workout garb for a competitive rower. Unlike what Bill and Joe have been wearing, basically a compression tee along with a separate pair of compression shorts, a wrestling singlet, like the ones Tony and Donavon are wearing is all one piece.

Bill and Joe have always admired the “swimmers build” of young athletes their age, but the path to getting there is not always clear. The so-called swimmers build is common to 19 year old male competitive swimmers. I guess the key characteristics of a swimmers build would be 1. Low body fat, 2. Narrow waist, typically around 30 inches 3. Broad shoulders, 4. Large lateral muscles or lats, giving the chest a distinct triangular shape uncommon in non-athletes, and 5.tight (6-pack) revealing abdominal muscles. Strong swimmers often also have oversized thigh muscles too, although these are most common with competitive divers.

All of this is possible using swimming as the main exercise. But any competitive swimmer nowadays spend nearly as much time working out in the gym and weight room than in the pool. The gym work builds particularly the upper body chest, shoulders and related muscles necessary to swim fast.

A lot of this is the same, pretty much for college-level competitive rowers. Like swimming, competitive rowing is very much a full body exercise, but if anything is even more of a workout for the upper body, shoulders, lats, abs and thigh muscles. Given this, competitive rowing could be a faster and steadier route to a swimmers build than competitive swimming. Rowing really puts the emphasis on building the shoulders and upper body.

Wrestling singlets provide a fun fit, at least as snug as the compression gear that Bill and Joe are wearing, with one important difference. They are one piece, and are held in place via shoulder straps. The rowing exercise builds shoulders, and as shoulder muscles grow, the shoulder straps have to go up over progressively bigger and stronger shoulders. And as this happens, the wrestling singlet is going to. keep pressing up tighter and snugger into the groin area. This is, well, interesting as more and more pressure will be placed on a guy’s private parts, and the more the guy works out, the snugger this is going to get.

A related issue is what, if anything, does a competitive rower wear under the singlet, underwear, a strap or maybe nothing at all. If nothing at all, the singlet is going to be at least as revealing of body parts as any simmers jammer. An interesting topic top research on the Web is what is the recommended wear for under compression gear, whether the gear is shorts, cycling gear, or a wrestling singlet. There seems to be little agreement on this.
What is happening now is that Tony and Donovan are standing there getting ready to do a workout of the stationary rowing machines at the gym. Bill and Joe are engaging Tony and Donovan in a pleasant conversation, but silently checking out what they are wearing and how it fits on their “rowers’ bodies. Both Bill and Joe are thinking exactly the same thing, as in “I want to get myself one of those.” Meanwhile, Dylan too is starting to think that this is exactly where he wants to be too.

None of what is going on is lost on any of the participants. Nor is the “rower’s body” lost on them. Need to make another visit to the big-box sporting goods store. Maybe Dylan would like to go along on the trip.

It’s funny how all of this works! Guys frequently like to act as if they are completely oblivious as to what clothes other guys are wearing, and this is doubly true when what the other guys are wearing is made of a Lycra/Spandex fabric, and fits really tight. Of course, every guy is keenly aware of anything that fits really snug in the groin area. All of this is learned at a very early age, perhaps before puberty when the guy is only 8 or 10 years old, maybe earlier. Guys just learning that their penises are sensitive to touching and rubbing get this (crazy?) idea that wearing clothing that fits snuggly around their penises, particularly a slick-and-stretchy fabric, might generate some interesting and fun feelings as well. So a lot of guys at a very early age go on a quest to find clothing that will stimulate them in these ways, something as an experiment, of sorts. Of course, guys are also almost invariably reluctant (embarrassed) to admit that they have these interests to their parents or to their peer males of similar age. That is part of what makes the entire situation so interesting but also more than a bit scary.

By the time a guy reaches the age of Bill, Joe, Tony and Donovan, they have already probably had the opportunity to run an assortment of different experiments involving their bodies and snug-fitting clothing of various kinds. Finally away from their parents, college guys have the opportunity to try some stuff that they were likely too embarrassed to try when they were living at home. Sometimes, the idea of having a dorm room roommate there on a constant basis makes college guys reluctant to do as much experimenting with all of this as they might be interesting in doing if they were living alone. Bill and Joe obviously got over this and worked their way out of any inhibitions they might have initially had about revealing all of this to each other as dorm room roommates. A lot of the inhibitions relate to the guy’s often deeply hidden beliefs that these interests might suggest to the roommate that the guy is a closeted gay person.

So, here is the problem or issue. Nearly every guy is deeply curious about the entire issue of whether or not his feelings, and ultimately sexual orientation is the same or not the same as that of his peer males. This rather drives everything a teen male thinks about and does in this regard. One of the key components of all of this is whether or not the other guys get the same or similar sensations and are struggling with the same problems or issues such as erections at inopportune or inappropriate times, the occasional ejaculation as a consequence, etc. etc. The clothing issue relates to whether the other guys are all able to tolerate getting into certain clothing items but I am not…jock straps, brief style swimwear , compression shorts, and now wrestling and rowing singlets. Guys always find it interesting to quietly observe the others guys getting into these kinds of gear in part to determine exactly whether or not the other guys have each resolved the potential problems at hand, in particular, observed evidence of erections, drops of pre cum etc etc. Or does all of this somehow get resolved and as the guy reaches young adulthood, all of this is somehow disappears, attention turns instead to increasing interest in finding a specific partner for sexual stuff. In short, as a guy reaches adulthood, all of this stuff regarding snug-fitting clothing perhaps gradually becomes less and less important.

Maybe, but Maybe not. Bill and Joe were certainly observing Tony and Donovan in their rowing singlets, all of them. Nearly every guy irrespective of sexual orientation has this side of fascination with how the other guy’s penis is faring in snug fitting clothing and what might be happening to the other guy as a consequence, and the rowing singlet is something new, something neither Bill nor Joe in their young lives had ever observed before. Bill and Joe are also wondering about how their own bodies would fare in a rowing singlet.

Bill and Joe are now asking Tony and Donovan where they got their singlets, clearly wondering where they found them. Tony’s response:

“These are tough to find in the sporting goods stores. Mine is an asics branded singlet. They are readily available on Amazon on line.”

Now Bill and Joe need to figure out how to place an Amazon order from their dorm room, and get he singlets put on a credit card, and delivered to their room. Certainly this is not something that either of them would want to mail to their permanent home addresses.

Meanwhile Dylan has been quietly watching all of this, saying nothing. Dylan is no different from any other guy his age with many of the same thoughts and ideas racing through his head. Dylan is “interested” too about what he thinks might be going on with the others, but maybe just a little scared too. But he is also starting to get “ideas” in his head.

This is one of those great mysteries of being a human being, and Joe, Bill, Tony and Donovan are finding themselves right in the middle of it. Herein also might be the key to understanding an important element of how human sexuality works at its most basic level, straight, gay or somewhere in between. The picture we have here is of four college-age guys working out at the student gym, all wearing snug-fitting clothing, clothing that might instantaneously reveal what is happening with their anatomy. For each, a significant erection is going to be quite obvious as the outline will clearly show to everyone seeing them at the gym.

Even more fascinating is the idea that without an erection, if the guy is at all sexually focused, drops of precum are going to be forming, drops that have no place to go except to form a wet stain on the snug-fitting Lycra/Spandex garments. No wait, Joe and Bill are wearing their straps and cups under their compression shorts. This should prevent stains from forming even while creating an interesting shape under the Lycra where their penises should be. But what about Tony and Donovan? What, if anything are they wearing underneath their rowing singlets? Good question! This deserves further “research” for sure.

Some guys are perhaps secretly “interested” in all of this and in particular what is going on in the heads and bodies of the other guys wearing snug-fitting garments, but other guys claim not at all. I think that this all has to do with the straight-gay continuum of human sexuality. The guys at the far straight end of the straight side at least claim that what is going on this the guys around them in these respects, and only get sexual pleasure in relation to the female anatomy.

But other guys might not be as certain. How would you react if you had observed that a college buddy wearing a wrestling singlet or compression short was clearly staining them with drops of precum. If you were wearing similar garb, would what you are wearing remain unstained if you KNEW this was happening to your college bud. (How do you react to noticing that your male college bud was masturbating while lying in the dorm bed across the room from you? Is this a turn-on for you or are you somehow offended?) What if both of you are claiming to be straight? Is your reaction to want to go into masturbation mode yourself, or not? Quite a dilemma to deal with, for sure.

Maybe this whole subject of what is straight versus gay versus someplace in between not clear at all. Maybe only a few of the guys who claim to be perfectly straight are truly unaffected by what is going on with the males at the gym around them. Maybe none? Maybe most, if absolutely not every guy, would at least secretly “enjoy” finding themselves in the situation Tony, Donovan, Bill and Joe now find themselves in studying each other and what is happening to their bodies. Maybe nearly every guy has a secret “gay” side in this respect, a side that reveals a sexual fascination in certain aspects of other guys. Meanwhile, I am unable to imagine any guy who claims to be even a little gay not enjoying the situation of the four.

These are not dumb questions for sure. They are profound questions. Ponder them.

Meanwhile, clad in a loose-fitting tee shirt and equally loose fitting cotton shorts that extend nearly to his knees, Dylan, the dorm mate has been quietly watching all of this, and way feel down starting to wonder a lot about how he might look and feel clad in something more snug and form-fitting. Truth is, the clothes being worn by Tony, Donovan, Bill and Joe are starting to have something of a psychological impact on Dylan. Truth is, Dylan had started thinking about this that night in the dorm when he encountered Bill and Joe wandering down the dorm hallway between the men’s bathroom and their dorm room. The effect of seeing Joe and Bill clad in the snug-fitting compression gear is really subtle, at least at first, but the visual has been growing on Dylan. Somehow, Dylan can’t get out of his mind how he might look and feel wearing similar items.

Dylan had never really thought about this before, at least not for any significant period of time. Like Bill and Joe, Dylan had always considered himself to be ruler-straight, and certainly not at all interested in guys as sexual partners. But suddenly Dylan is caught up in something he did not think could happen to him. His mind keeps wandering over into thinking about how the four other guys at the gym are feeling clad in all of this snug-fitting gear. He is asking himself the question “What is happening to these guys, both physically and psychologically?” Asking himself these questions over and over is doing funny things to Dylan, things that Dylan is not really yet willing to admit are happening. Just looking at the other guys clad in their gear is affecting Dylan’s brain in a funny way, and Dylan is starting to feel something in his groin area now too. This is quickly leading to the idea that Dylan wants to get some of the same kind of workout gear the other guys are wearing. But how is he going to pull this all off? Dylan is starting to explore a side of his being that he did not realize existed before. Specifically, there are instances where supposedly straight guys can get aroused by just seeing other guys.

Meanwhile, Bill and Joe are facing their own dilemma, clad in their compression tees and shorts with their straps underneath. Bill and Joe both quickly realize that the singlets Tony and Donovan are wearing represent another level of what they have been doing with their compression tees and shorts. Tony and Donovan are encouraging Bill and Joe to keep ramping it up, by making some on-line purchases of wrestling/rowing singlets. Bill and Joe think that is, well, at least an interesting idea to pursue. But how?

Another puzzle Bill and Joe are trying to figure out is what Tony and Donovan wear UNDER the singlets. Are they commando? It’s pretty obvious to Tony and Donovan that Bill and Joe are wearing straps underneath their compression shorts. The outline of the leg straps extending diagonally across their butts, and the slight bulges from the cups are pretty obvious to anyone who looks. But Tony and Donovan have no obvious leg straps or cups, yet they do not appear exactly to be commando underneath either. Something is keeping them from having a clear penis outline under the singlets, but what?

Yes, but what? Bill decides that the only way to resolve this one is to simply blurt out “Tony and Donovan, what do you wear under those Singlets?”

Tony responds: “Well, we tried various ideas on that, plain old cotton briefs, a Lycra swim brief, but nothing we tried seemed to work as well as what we finally found.”

Bill: “What was that?”

Tony: “Why, what works the best is a pair of thong underwear for men. The pouch keeps our male anatomy in place and covered , and the single strap in the rear slides right between our glutes. The feel is a great sensation when we are rowing, either on the water or on a machine at the gym. The thong makes our rowing time pass quickly (hee hee).

Dylan is also quietly taking this all in, even as his body seems to be responding as well in funny ways to the information he is learning.

Gym exercise programs are difficult for a lot of people to maintain. A large share of the problem is that gym workouts can often be boring as all get out, but especially aerobic workouts that involve an activity for, say, 30 minutes non-stop. There are plenty of examples of these at the gym..the classic example I suppose is the treadmill. Without some diversion, working out for 30 minutes on a treadmill can be really boring.

Another boring workout device is a stationary bike. That is why there has been so much efforts to do things like set up TV screens that mimic what a rider might see on an actual bike ride, which is much less boring.

There are also other boring exercises and machines aimed at exercises that take place over, say a 30 minute period or longer,, things like steppers and stationary rowing machines. Generally speaking, its difficult for guys to maintain their workouts if the exercises are boring. I suppose we should also include simple walking and running as other boring exercises. Where lap swimming fits into all of this is a good starting point for discussion.

Generally speaking, guys tolerate exercises involving muscle building such as weight lifting far better and tend to get less bored with exercises that last a shorter period of time. The problem is that good exercises may very well need to include the boring stuff as well as the not-so-boring stuff in combination.

So what does all of this have toi do with Bill, Joe, Tony, Donovan and Dylan? Well for starters, a good daily exercise routine with a combination of aerobic and non-aerobic exercises, perhaps started in College, is something that a guy will want to maintain for a lifetime. There are many good combinations of the two, and each guy needs to sort out what works best for himself as an individual.

I know many of you are wondering what the “twist” here is going to be. Well, the twist is how boring or enjoyable you find your workout to be in part depends on what you wear to engage in the workout.

Bill and Joe have already sensed this, given what they are wearing. Tony and Donovan are on to this as well, given what they are wearing for their stationary rowing workouts. Dylan, clad in loose-fitting gym shorts and an equally loose-fitting tee shirt, so far at least, has not quite figured this all out.

Making a serious workout more fun and less boring is at least in part dependent on what the guy chooses to wear for the workout. Workout time almost always moves along a little faster for a guy if he is at least a little turned on, as in, feeling at least a little warm in the groin area. I suppose the “classic” example of this is the lap swimmer clad in a Speedo® as the consummate illustration of what I mean, but what is going on here runs parallel to this. Bill and Joe are clad in compression gear with straps and cups underneath. Tony and Donovan are clad in singlets both wearing thongs with cords running snuggly up their respective butts. These four guys are all certainly feeling something that seems erotic, even before beginning to exercise.

Bill and Joe are both planning on first hopping on the stationary bikes for a 30-minute ride. Tony and Donovan are hopping on the stationary rowers for a 30-minute ride as well. All this movement given the items they are wearing, well, could cause more stuff to happen. We will just have to see! Poor Dylan! He seems to know that something is up, but he is not quite sure what, yet. Is there anything somehow “wrong” with all of this? I think not!

It’s funny. A lot of guys think they have learned all there is to know about their own bodies, about sex and sexuality from the start of puberty (probably most commonly around age 12) through high school (usually ending around 18), but, oddly enough, there is a whole lot more to try and understand, and a lot of this seems to happen in the late teens and very early 20s, say in the years from 18 to age 21 or 22.

Part of this, of course, is linked to all of the issues as to who a guy is attracted to from the perspective of another person, straight, gay or something in between. Life would be simple if that were all there was to sexual feelings and sexual turn ons. But guys know that things can be, and often are, much more complicated than that. Interesting, to be sure, but surely more complicated than merely picking a partner.

Here we have four college age guys, Bill, Joe, Tony and Donovan, well, five if we count the really confused Dylan, who are “messing around” with stuff that initiates distinctive sexual feelings and sensations, but this all has little if anything to do with sexual feelings and sensations that are related to finding a sexual partner.

Almost every guy in their teens quickly leans that sexual sensations and responses can readily happen at inopportune times and places, places that have nothing to do with a sexual partner as such. Classic examples are situations where a young new member of a high school swim team first encounters the idea that in order to participate, he will need to get his head (and body) around the idea of wearing a swim brief in front of his team mates and then in public. School sports that require wearing a strap and maybe a hard cup elicit similar fears and potentially complicated bodily responses, even just the thought of having to do so. This is a natural bodily reaction to having one’s private parts placed in a very confined space. Part of the popularity of wearing loose fitting swim shorts, end even jeans has to do with a deep seated fear that the guy will not be able to “control” his “bodily response” in a confined space, and his lack of control will immediately be identified by his fellow classmates and, as a result, he will be teased and bullied.

But by the time a guy reaches college age, he has probably discovered a couple of important things. First, the sensations associated often with merely the thought of having one’s private parts confined in a small space, say the swim brief, strap, or even a pair of snug fitting underwear along with similarly snug-fitting jeans, are terrific fun. Not as much fun as real sex, perhaps, but certainly fun. And further, the guy doesn’t need a partner to enjoy himself this way. Second, if there is an appropriate time and place, there is no reason or a guy to not enjoy one’s body in this regard.

Ok, but guys have generally been enjoying themselves engaging in solo sex, mainly stroking and rubbing their penises to orgasm, probably in private and from shortly after they went through puberty (maybe even before!), so that is certainly nothing new. It’s a little “secret” that most guys at least attempt to keep from their parents, siblings, peers and classmates, though sometimes unsuccessfully for sure. This is a cause for great embarrassment and sometimes teasing and bullying. Guys quickly learn that solo sex is something that should be kept totally private.

Except, of course, that it is so much fun! Here is the interesting part. Guys generally spend most of their teen years thinking that having a quick orgasm, one that happens so fast that the amount of time required to do so and potentially being discovered, is minimum. This is a strategy for self-preservation, maintain an image of not being a jerk-off, and for limiting scolding from parents, or the possibility of teasing and bullying by siblings and peers. Is it not funny that sensations that are so pleasant are associated with fears, teasing and bullying?

Bill and Joe, however, are now finding themselves in a different place entirely. They do not have full erections and hard-ons. They are not near the point of going into a full-blown orgasm. They are clad in their compression gear, straps and cups and trying to engage in a gym workout. But all of this does not mean that they are experiencing no sexual feelings or pleasure whatsoever. Indeed, quite the opposite. After all, their penises are in some very confined spaces, and their brains are sensing that.

What Bill and Joe are experiencing right now is very difficult to describe using words alone, but let me try. Words are basically inadequate to describe what is happening to them both. Bill and Joe are both still quite flaccid, but that does not mean that their bodies are unaware of the situation unfolding. The compelling sensation is one of a slight but very pleasant tensing in the penis, often extending into much of the groin area. And, the production of pre-cum, lots of pre-cum. The guy is sensing this because there is clearly a damp spot that is building right at the tip of the penis. Got it? Maybe just by reading about what is happening to Bill and Joe will get you into the same situation.

Now Bill and Joe are both wearing straps and cups underneath their compression shorts, so it would be nearly impossible to see the damp spot the pre-cum is making at the tip of the penis. That is a relief for sure But how about the situation faced by the new swim team member getting into a swim brief for the first time. Isn’t the same thing going to happen to him? The only solution for this would be to get into the pool water as quickly as possible.

What about Dylan? Well he is thinking about all of this himself, and stuff is starting to happen to him as well underneath those sloppy shorts just thinking about how his body, deep down would like to be wearing the same items Bill and Joe are wearing. So Dylan is actually having a reaction to all of this, a reaction that actually began that night when Dylan saw Bill and Joe in the dorm room hall, clad in their compression gear. Since then, Dylan has not been able to get the gear out of his mind, and how his body is longing to “participate”. At least, Dylan is able to admit this to himself.

And what of Tony and Donovan, the rowers wearing the rowing singlets along with the thong underwear? Well, that is an equally interesting story too, but a story for another day!

Every guy is a little different, but every guy shares a lot in common, too. This is true for a lot of stuff about guys, but no more true when it comes to sexually arousing turn-ons.

At puberty, guys quickly learn how it feels to get an erection and then an orgasm with a full ejaculation. This is often times a very embarrassing time for a lot of guys going through puberty, as this sometimes happens at inopportune places and times, sometimes when other family members are present, or even worse, when peers are present, say, in a gym locker room, or even more embarrassingly, in a classroom.

And guys at puberty are very concerned about a whole bunch of things. First, no guy at this point wants to be labeled as a jerk-off by his peers. And all of this is interconnected with the possibility that the guy might be an emerging gay not straight. All of this presents major potential problems about when the guy enters junior high, you know, seventh and eighth grade are probably the most difficult, but all of these issues can easily extend well into high school, and perhaps even into college.

Guys have real difficulty admitting to anyone other than themselves that they can be turned on by anything other than a female. The latter is the only thing that is “safe” from the perspective of not being teased or bullied. Guys quickly figure this all out, but this means that they can never engage their male peers in any frank conversations about what is really going on inside their heads and bodies.

Some of all of this may gradually dissipate over time, with maybe college roommates being a bit more open with each other than they would have been in junior high or high school. In the case of Joe and Bill, they have worked their way through all of this. There is still the entire subject matter of what if I can be turned on by seeing/watching another guy. Does the fact that Bill and Joe each got turned on by knowing that the other was experiencing sexual thoughts and feelings in the bed next to each mean anything in terms of their sexuality, and if so, what? Why exactly did both Bill and Joe suddenly decide to wear their snug-fitting compression gear, straps and cups to the student gym, anyway? And where does Dylan, who has been watching this quietly, fit into all of this for goodness sake?

As a guy moves beyond puberty, he may very well discover that sexual feelings and responses are much more complex and interesting than just quickly having an erection and orgasm in some completely private place. There is this whole subject of how to get sexually turned on and aroused without any significant external signs of what is going on, as in lacking a big hard-on.

Tony and Donovan have certainly added a whole new twist to the story, a twist that caught even Bill and Joe completely off guard. For starters, are Tony and Donovan just a pair of straight college rowing team members, or is there something else going on here? Could Tony and Donovan be gay, perhaps even gay partners? That is not clear at this point at all.

When asked about what the pair wore under the rowing singlets, Tony was certainly up front with his answer. Why was he so candid about wearing a thong? What was the point in even revealing that to Bill and Joe? Admittedly, the whole idea of wearing a snug singlet over an equally snug thong sounds sexy as all get out, maybe even sexier than a strap and cup under compression shorts. Something Bill and Joe now would like to try for certain.

At this point, Bill and Joe are certainly feeling aroused, but so far at least, their erections are still under control. They are both dripping clear, viscous drops of pre-cum into their cups under their compression gear. They are both thinking that their next purchases will have to be tight wrestling singlets and thong underwear, stuff not readily available except on line.

Poor Dylan, he is experiencing much the same feelings while clad only in loose-fitting shorts. He is sensing drops of clear, viscous pre-cum forming right at the tip of his penis too, just thinking about the situation unfolding before him. He know, too that he needs to do something about all this, and make some purchases as well. The problem for Dylan is how to reconcile all of these thoughts and feelings with who he is or thinks he is, sexually? This is not simple, at all, for any of them.

Male sexuality is really interesting. There is always partner sex and a lot of guys really enjoy that. But there are also really interesting situations whereby sexual arousal can occur in the absence of a partner, entirely. Any guy past puberty realizes that. In fact, many guys have probably figured this part out even before puberty. And certain clothing items can, for sure, stimulate this.

Let me review where we are in the story line. We have Bill and Joe who are clearly turned on by and wearing a combination of compression gear and straps, straps with cups. We have introduced Tony and Donovan, college rowing team members who are wearing snug-fitting wrestling singlets with equally snug-fitting thong underwear underneath. Then there is Dylan, who is largely unfamiliar with all of this, wearing loose-fitting shorts and an equally loose-fitting tee. But Dylan is clearly fascinated by what the other guys are wearing, fascinated to the point where he is clearly thinking that he wants to join in. What has been happening in Dylan’s brain and body is typical of what sometime, maybe even often happens when a guys has a first encounter with this sort of thing.

And what is this thing, anyway? Some kind of a weird clothing fetish? This all seems sexy but sexy without a partner. Are guys SUPPOSED to even react this way? That is a good question. No one really seems to know the answer to that one. Some people who call themselves trained psychologists, I guess, would label a sexual interest in a clothing item as a form of abnormal psychology for a guy. I am far more open-minded than this on the entire subject. I think that getting turned on by certain clothing items like this is all quite normal for guys, even though many are very reluctant to admit this. In short, having this happen is not in any way, shape or form weird or even considered a little bit strange or odd.

Let me play with my readers’ brains a little bit. I am going to give you four options each of which goes in a slightly different direction. The whole idea here is for you to determine if your body is interested in any of these options at all, and then, if your body is telling you that you are interested, which of the options would you be most enthusiastic about pursuing. How will you know for sure? Well, if any of the options is for you, you should feel a slight tensing in your groin area just reading about the option, and maybe a familiar wet drop of pre-cum forming at the very tip of your penis.

There actually is a fifth option. That option is that you brain and body is not aroused by any f the other four options. But then, I might ask, why are you reading what I am writing at all? That would seem to make no sense, whatsoever.

Option 1: I would like to try wearing what Bill and Joe are wearing. My body is telling me that I am very interested in wearing a snug-fitting pair of compression shorts along with an equally snug-fitting tee. I like the idea of wearing an old school jock with a cup. I’ve always admired the guys who had to do this, and I have always wondered how one of those would fit and feel.

Option 2: I would like to try wearing what Tony and Donovan are wearing. Getting into a somewhat undersized wrestling singlet would be really fun for me, and I also think it would be most interesting to wear a pair of thong underwear underneath. The idea of having a cord or elastic band cutting between the cheeks of my butt sounds really interesting, especially when paired with the wrestling singlet.

Option 3: What I have always wanted to do is wear a swim brief. But what kind of a swim brief would be the biggest turn-on? A low-cut brief with one-inch sides, one that shows a bit of my butt cheeks? Something slightly bigger and a bit less confining? How do guys deal with unexpected erections while wearing these, anyway?

Option 4: A pair of Asian style jeans. Asian-style jeans are cut really, really snug through the thigh and legs and cup your butt as well. They pair great with thong underwear, too.

So, which of these four options are you most interested in pursuing, as in giving you the strongest reaction in your groin area. Your groin should be telling you the correct answer to this quiz, the answer that is right for you.

Dylan has been pondering these options, too. [Personal note: I am wearing a singlet and thong as I write this. Highly recommended!]

Most guys probably have determined whether there is “stuff” like this that sends “signals” to their brains and bodies of this sort at a very early age, often right at puberty or just after. Whatever it is that “causes” this to happen is difficult if not impossible to control. Worse, for the post-puberty male, all of this somehow gets messed together with understanding the basics of how post-puberty sexual feelings work, which makes these things even more complicated to deal with. Another aspect of all of this has to do with what this all might or might not have to do with determining one’s sexual orientation, straight, gay or somewhere in between.

For a typical 14-year old, a basic question is how to deal with sexual feelings that are linked to inanimate objects such as items of clothing listed in the previous chapter. The poor guy is stuck probably thinking that he is somehow abnormal and weird if this is happening to him. If one starts reading the on line literature related to this, the entire subject is probably presented as a fetish, perhaps along with stuff related to a sexual fascination with other stuff such as women’s clothing, and this, in turn gets messed together with men who get turned on sexually by wearing female clothing as in transvestite.

But this is all definitely male clothing items: compression gear, straps swim briefs etc. The guys who wear this stuff generally are not aroused by wearing female clothing items. The guy starts to think that perhaps he is just going through some sort of a temporary “phase” which he will eventually either just outgrow as he gets older and starts to have adult-type partner sex feelings and turn ons. At least that is what the guy hopes. For goodness sakes, what do you do with this stuff once you get into a real adult-style relationship? Maybe once that happen, this other stuff will just go away, or so the guy fervently hopes.

Then there is a question as to how unique the guy believes he is. Do other guys my age have this exact same problem? This is a variation on the so-called locker room issue. What happens if I join the high school swim club and the coach insists I wear a swim brief? How do the other swim club members deal with this problem? Once again, am I unique in this regard? Maybe I will quickly get “used” to pulling on a tight fitting swim brief, strap or whatever, and its merely a matter of doing this frequently enough.

Then there is the problem that doing this stuff involving the gear is really fun to the point of being addictive. By the time a guy gets to be about 14, he has probably tried most of the plain ordinary methods of jerking off in the bathroom or under the covers by simply stroking and rubbing his penis. The slick-and snug clothing items introduces a whole new dimension to solo sex, and the guy realizes this all too well. Have the other guys my age figured this all out too? If not are they somehow “different” from me.

The guy typically then goes on a quiet effort to acquire the clothing items that he thinks will be the most sexually exciting to get into. This is tricky for a number of reasons. First, there are lots of subjects that guys feel open with their parents discussing, but this is definitely not one of these. But then how does one manufacture a plausible-sounding “excuse” for obtaining the item for goodness sakes?

Then there is the issue of making attempts to keep what you are interested in doing a secret from your peers of both sexes, but particularly from other males your age. Guys are really curious about what is happening to other guys their age and whether or not they are dealing with the same or similar issues, but this is not a topic appropriate for a conversation, in large measure because the guy bringing up the subject is likely to be labeled as a jerk-off, teased, bullied, or labeled as gay. Best to keep one’s mouth completely shut on the entire subject.

Joe and Bill are not 14 but 19, and have worked their respective ways through some of their inhibitions related to sexual turn-ons and procedures for jerking off. Further, they are now in college, and are able to figure out a way to buy the items they longed to own when they were 14 but could not find a way to do so earlier. That Joe and Bill are as open with each other with respect to what is going on in their respective heads and bodies is a rarity.

Tony and Donovan, the rowing club members at the gym, seem to have reached a level in this regard that Joe and Bill have not yet achieved. They are actively talking about what they are wearing and why it makes their gym workouts. Joe and Bill have not yet determined if Tony and Donovan are gay or not, let alone if they are gay partners. But they both certainly appear to be enjoying themselves immensely just wearing their gear and doing their gym exercises for the rowing team. They seem to have lost any inhibitions if they once had them.

Meanwhile, Dylan is watching all of this, quietly.

Bill and Joe, after all, DID come to the student gym in order to get started on a schedule for working out, doing both aerobic exercises plus some weight lifting and other strength-building exercises.

The exercise bikes being free, Bill and Joe first decide to get on them and plan for about a 30 minute ride, covering the equivalent of about 4 miles at an average, comfortable speed.

But, do not forget that Bill and Joe are wearing straps and cups with compression gear over. They wore all of this on the walk from their dorm room to the student gym, and I might add that the walk over was uneventful” if you understand what I am trying to communicate to you here.

But also keep in mind that both Bill and Joe’s penises are held snugly within very narrow hard cups and the compression shorts are holding the cups firmly in place against their groins. Just walking in all of this can set up a bit of a situation with all of this, but as I indicated, the walk from the dorm room to the gym was uneventful.

The stationary bikes, however, are going to present a new set of issues that need to be accommodated. On the bikes, Bill’s and Joe’s thigh areas (as in the inner portions of the inside part of their legs) are going to be moving a lot more than it was on the simple walk to the gym. This could set up an interesting situation, for certain. The strap and cup are held firmly to the groin from the pressure of the compression shorts bearing down, but the inner thigh needs to move. Can the cup remain in a perfectly stable position with all the movement going on around it? Not likely, even with the compression shorts bearing down.

The cups are probably going to want to slide a little along with the inner thighs with each pedal turn on the bicycle. But remember, these cups fit snugly around the two penises. If the cup is going to move or slide with each pedal stroke, the penises are going to probably immediately “sense” what is happening, with a sense of movement taking place.

The sensations are not strong enough to send the stationary bike rider into an explosive orgasm. They are far more subtle than that. Just strong enough so that the guy’s brain is aware that something is happening down there, and what is happening is subtle but pleasant, very very pleasant.
The penises respond to the situation at hand like they always respond. First, there is an awareness that something interesting is happening. The snugness of the cups is a mixture of physical and psychological…the psychological part can easily be at least as mesmerizing as the physical sensation.

Penises do as penises do…The combination of physical and psychological tension results in that fascinating feeling of tension in the penis that the guys love so much…not a full-blown erection, but just that crazy, wonderful feeling down there of subtle tension that guys just always go goofy over.

Penises do as penises do. Once this is underway it is time to pre-cum. Bill and Joe can sense that there is a dampness forming inside the cup at the very tips of their penises. This sensation is a treat that is combined with the sense of snugness, the sense of movement, and a psychological sense of “this is really enjoyable, as in blow me away enjoyable.

All of this went on throughout the 30-minute stationary bike ride for both Bill and Joe. The 30 minute time span for the rides just sped by. Bill and Joe enjoyed their bike rides immensely, and vowed to do the same thing every time they went to the gym. This has become part of a not-to-be-missed workout schedule for Bill and Joe.
