In the past 100-plus years, the materials have changed. Flaherty’s company—now Martin Inc., which produces Flarico, Bub, and Activeman products—has evolved from knitted waistbands and straps into more comfortable woven products. Because when your balls are that ensconced, you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that the day won’t end with you being rushed to the emergency room with internal scrotal bleeding. Of course, you could say that about most days—especially if your job, like mine, involves long periods of typing on a computer, or having conversations with calm, entirely nonviolent people who are unlikely to judo chop you in the nuts without warning.

Besides that, improved circulation can have other health benefits as well. Better blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to your muscles, which can help them work more efficiently and recover faster. That may be useful if your job requires people trying to kill you, or at least severely damage your yam bag. But for us non-MMA athletes, do we really need that much ball-protecting technology?Main article: Protective gear in sports Banana-style cup, down position Traditional cup, up position sagginess, but you also want to make sure the boys can breathe down there.

Really throw your whole body into it this time!” Dr. Steixner has treated some truly horrifying, gory penis injuries. But when it comes to testicular trauma, at least among non-pro athletes, he insists it rarely happens. Probably,” says Brian Steixner, M.D., Director of the Institute of Men’s Health at Jersey Urology Group in Atlantic City. Not just around the office. Even at the gym. Or wherever they work out. They’re essentially free-balling it. Kimmel, Michael; Milrod, Christine; Kennedy, Amanda (2014). Cultural Encyclopedia of the Penis. Rowman & Littlefield. p.97. ISBN 978-0-7591-2314-4.

After a hard workout, the last thing anyone wants is to be slowed down by soreness and inflammation. I’m a parent of a 4-year-old boy, and I’ve been on the receiving end of a barbarous foot or elbow. I’m well aware of what it’s like to receive a crushing ball blast from a kid not old enough yet to realize that scrotums have the same general resistance to blunt force trauma as hard-boiled eggs. It’s okay,” I try to explain to her, after pretending for the umpteenth time that my son had caused me irreparable scrotal damage. “This is just what boys do.” I vividly remember grim warnings from my high school gym teachers, who lectured us on exactly what would happen if we didn’t wear them.

Sure, fluke accidents happen. But that doesn’t mean you should walk around wearing a helmet and elbow pads. That would be insane. Best case scenario, we’d never be able to have children. We’d twist the wrong way, and that’s it, our reproductive organs would be mangled beyond repair. To be honest, you do not want to experience an embarrassing moment during your workout. Whether it's visible underwear lines or accidental exposure, it can be a major distraction from your fitness goals. Testicular violence is nothing to laugh at.

Well, that’s just a reminder that we’re living in a remarkable age, unlike anything our high school gym teachers could have imagined.
