A Jock Review

Hey guys! I know its been a while, I’ve been super busy with soccer and senior stuff, so I haven’t had time to get online. So a few weeks ago I got this great, and when I say great I mean amazing, jock in the mail. Yeah guys, let me tell you I love this thing! So I know you’re asking who makes it, what is it, and where can I get it. Well first off, its from WildmanT, and let me say I love their stuff, and it’s the Micro-Jock. And believe me, it’s micro. This jock is by far my favorite jock I have ever had, I’ve worn it everywhere, and I still find myself wanting to wear it more. I’m actually wearing it right now! So let me set the scene, I’m a fairly average guy, I’m packing a fair amount, and I’m currently shaved except for the base of the dick. So the great thing about the jock is I get to show this all off, you wouldn’t believe the looks I get in the locker room. I’m straight and all they guys know that so we have a lot of fun with it. So the top of the jock rides right at the base of the dick, leaving some of the shaft exposed, (how hot is that?) and the straps are so small you can barely see them. I just wish you could see it, well actually there are pictures with this entry, so have fun with those. I found these on some site, the model is wearing the jock perfectly, might I add. Well I know that support and performance is really important to you guys. Just to tell you how great it is in these areas, I have worn this in soccer games, when I run, pretty much all the time, in jeans to the mall, and around the house with nothing else on at all! And let me tell you, the guys at WildmanT have made this one perfect.

Okay, so a few weeks ago I got to ask Tim (owner and founder of WildmanT) some questions:
What was the inspiration behind the jock?
"Skimpy" that is the inspiration. The word "Skimpy" I was showing a dear friend of mine in Palm Springs the original Jocks that I was looking to make before we even started producing anything and he said…are you going to carry anything "skimpy". He said the newer underwear and jocks are very "heavy-duty" and more rugged, but some us of still like the "less is more sexy approach" and so I made the micro jock.

Who is this designed for?
Anyone can wear it, young and old. But it definitely is for the risk taker and someone who is not shy. The fabric was intentionally designed to barely cover your "goods".

What is this jocks main purpose?
It is a sexy novelty item. It is not meant for the gym or daily use. It is meant for those special occasions, intimate nights….or strippers!

So I’m not a stripper, but I do think that would be fun, so guys if you are looking for a jock you can truly show off in, this is the one for you.

MY RATING: Overall, I give the WildmanT Micro Jock a total score of 9 based on the following criteria:
COMFORT -- 9 (out of 10)
PRICE -- 10 (out of 10)
WEARABILITY -- 8 (out of 10)
SEXINESS -- 10++ (out of 10)
DURABILITY -- 9 (out of 10)

What Not to Underwear...

This is not necessarily about what not to wear as underwear, but it is more a way in which one should never wear their underwear. This is a pet peeve of mine that was just brought to my attention again after seeing it TWICE in one day in the same place and after that I just had to say something here. Now I don't mind seeing another guy's underwear in public (as long as it's not one of those ridiculous sags where they can barely walk), but seeing a guy's underwear while his shirt is tucked in looks just ridiculous. You may be thinking to yourself, how could this possibly happen? Why would anyone do this? But I've seen it quite a lot. After thinking about it, my only solution to how this could happen to a guy is they put on their shirt and then put on their underwear and pants. Now it works fine when you first put it on, but as your pants slip during the day and your underwear rides up, they eventually become visible and it really just looks stupid. What is the point of "dressing up" by tucking in your shirt if you are only going to "dress down" by exposing your underwear. Now don't get me wrong, seeing a little bit of underwear over pants can be sexy, but seeing a bit (or a lot) of underwear over pants and a shirt is just gross (especially when one of the guys in question had his underwear on inside out). So what's the solution? Well here's the order in which you should dress if you are going to tuck in your shirt:

1. Put on your undershirt (if you wear one).
2. Put on your underwear. You may tuck the undershirt into the underwear, or you may choose not to (tucking the undershirt into the underwear is only an option if you are going to tuck another shirt into your pants).
3. Put on your shirt.
4. Put on your pants in such a way that the shirt is automatically tucked in.
5. Voila, there is now no way that your underwear will stick out!

So there you have it folks. Now you know what not to underwear.... If you like this idea, I could continue on this concept with other ways one should not wear their underwear.

PS. The photo is really just here as something to look at. I couldn't find a photo to illustrate what I am referring to.

The Great Jock Sale at WildmanT

Be sure not to miss out on the week long jock sale at WildmanT. All jocks are on sale at WildmanT, this includes micro jocks, stretch jocks, and cock-ring jocks.

New Arrivals at International Jock

Be sure not to miss out on these new arrivals at International Jock, this is one of their most extensive new product introductions ever. Here's what they've added. They've added the great new UnderToys line (from Australia) that I've mentioned to you guys before (which by the way I should be getting some UnderToys for review soon!). One of the best things about having the UnderToys line at International Jock is that now there are actual photos of the products online, and not just cartoon style drawings. They also have some great new additions from Kyle. Kyle's claim to fame is creating the first ever fly-front jockstrap (which is a trend that has now become very popular in the underwear market). These new arrivals have lots of fun, bright, new colors and lots of fun contrasts between the underwear and the fly inset. And finally, there are some great new arrivals from Punto Blanco. This is the first arrival of Punto Blanco at International Jock. So many of these styles are actually older and can be found elsewhere, but they are simply new arrivals to International Jock. If you've been reading this blog with any frequency, you'll know that I really enjoy the offerings from Punto Blanco. I have not yet tried anything from Kyle or UnderToys. But all these products are great, so be sure to check out all these great new arrivals.

CORRECTION: Nation Up North, NOT National

Many of you brought this error to my attention. In this post I numerously referred to the brand Nation Up North as "National Up North". There is no such thing as a company called "National Up North" (or at least not an underwear company). Sorry for the error. The actual brand name is Nation Up North. I have now changed the entry to the correct brand name.
