Dear Jocks Under Boxers,
Jocks or Athletic Supporters are a good idea during sports (especially contact sports), exercising and running. They are used to protect the penis and scrotum during physical activities.
It is not necessary to have the additional support during normal everyday activities. If boxers are not comfortable or do not provide enough support then wearing briefs would be a suitable alternative.
