The start of the summer and everytime I get into some nude sports, Vollyball running baseball tennis , the same thing happens. My testicles hang low and they always get hurt , my friend a female has regular sized brests but she told me the movement hurts her so sometimes she hold them with one arm but this limits her movement duh, I dont want to play a sport holding my self anyone else have this problem?

[NudonyII]

I'm guessing you're referring to the "flapping effect." My solution for that is a brisk shower...the "shrinkage" effect tightens my scrotum and renders physical activity less discomforting. If that doesn't work, I think flesh-colored athletic tape would be fairly inconspicuous and keep the scrotum tight. Although the hard part might be removing it at the end of the day.

My ex was heavy chested and ran into the same issue as your friend. She got used to moving around with her arm across her chest, or even cupping her breasts with both hands (as in below); so much so that she did it unconsciously, without any limiting effect on her movements. It's pretty much understood in nudist circles that an active woman may have to do that to prevent discomfort. But holding the testies probably wouldn't go over so well.

This may sound weird to you but I had a friend that had the same problem when he use to play sports what he did he knew someone that made him a clear cup to cover his parts he wore it like a jock string he never had no problems playing any kind of sports as for the women I wear a clear mesh cloth tie around my boobs that's only when playing sports I don't like pain and suffering lol.

I would suggest that you tie them off loosly to one leg or the other with a fashionable ribon,or even a head band that you pull up your leg an just tuck them in loosley,to allow for movement.This seems to be approiate for your size an should prevent soreness or damage.I hope this helps. Nakenone

I have no trouble running nude. Everything goes (flaps) with the rhythm. Its natural to run nude. After all before clothes the cavemen had to run pretty fast from the sabre tooths!

[Home Nudist]

Why not just wear an athletic supporter? It's functional and does the job it's supposed to.

I can't understand fashioning something "clear," so your scrotum shows. What for? The idea is to be nude, not on display. :confused:

But, if one has to wear a jock for comfort/safety (same as a woman will sometimes choose shorts for "practical" reasons), that seems like the logical thing to do. Or, maybe I'm dense.....

[Centauri4]

The cold shower idea seems to be the better one posted so far. I can also add, and lets see how this can be worded delicately, NOT having had intimate physical relations in a week or more should lead to an increased tightness of the lower appendages. Or, shall I say, a little likelihood of becoming semi-aroused at the touch of a cool breeze and the tickle of grass on delicate body parts, and in this the "family jewels" tend to be more closely guarded by the body.

Two supporting factors I picked up on over my years involved in nudism:

1. The correct temperature for healthy male reproductive organs is one and one-half degrees lower than body temperature. So underwear definitely do not help, especially if someone is planning on starting a family.

2. The time it takes for the male component of "baby making" to mature is (up to) seventy days, so it is worthwhile to avoid the intimate physical relations mentioned above if, again, someone is planning on trying to make a baby. (source: Discovery Channel(s))

So running, tennis, light cardio and other forms of activity at not only good for your overall health, but they may aid in the production of little nudists as well!

[Naked in SATX]

I agree with Home Nudist. Wear a jock for God's sake. I love being nude as much as the next guy, but is it worth the pain?

[David77]

as for the women I wear a clear mesh cloth tie around my boobs that's only when playing sports I don't like pain and suffering lol.

One of my wife's concerns when she was young was that if she did not wear a bra, her firm breasts would drop down toward her navel. She tried to avoid sagging breasts.

I later heard from an authority on TV that using a bra would not slow down the process of a woman getting sagging breasts.

[Pumpkinpie]

You know a lot of women are very self conscience about there body I have stated in a thread before that I have friends that are nudists was married and now single like me they have kids over the years the husbands started verbally abusing them about their bodies and being a nudist after having kids the bodies changed with stretch marks saggy boobs wearing bras doesn't help through the pregnancy's, then the husbands started looking and cheating with younger women with firm boobs smooth skin and the marriages dissolved right in front of their eyes after so many years of being a faithful devoted wife and mother's to their kids, it hurts very bad, I am talking from experience that's why am single am not ashamed of my body I love me and I love my kids they my legacy, that is why I have issues in trusting men and if I ever do start dating he will know that am a nudist and he will have the first hand look what my body looks like if he like if he doesn't no love lost, I always say to myself I came into this world nude so shall it be and I will go alone when the good lord ready for his angel and I will go happy knowing that I was me,my great grand mother use to tell me beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I am a beautiful woman inside out even when going down in age you don't stay young forever for me I will always be young at heart.:D

It was never mandatory to be naked all the time in any of the clubs I have been involved with; long baggy T shirts on very sunny days etc.
So why not wear underpants when you play volleyball and if female, wear a sports bra to prevent bothersome breastmovement.
Above all nudism is about freedom of choice what to wear under a variety of circumstances.

http://www.007b.com/bra_sagging.php

However, there is some support for the idea that breasts in bras actually sag more (when bra is taken off). How could that be since the main idea of bras is to lift the breasts upward? The main idea is that the ligaments which support breasts in normal circumstances, would atrophy (get thinner and weaker) when breasts are immobilized within bras and don't have to bear their own weight.

There are lots of studies showing that ligaments and tendons in limbs do atrophy when the limb is immobilized. Bras obviously prevent the the natural slight up-down movement of breasts when we walk, and let shoulders bear the weight of breasts. If breast ligaments behave like limb ligaments, it may be a matter of "use it or lose it".

i am also a little surprised to hear about this problem. to me it sounds like maybe you should just do it more often and probably the muscles pulling testicles will train to hold them at comfortable position. whereas if you use support, those muscles will never have this possibility to train...

[JohnE44]

sounds like it one of those times that its better tobe smaller than bigger,

[David77]

When I was in the navy, there was a sailor whose testicals and scrotum hung down around his knees. He always wore a jock strap and the navy gave him a sitting down job of telephone operator for the navy base.

Yep, I agree. I play sports nude, jumping around during volleyball and basketball, and I've never had any problems down there. When you run and jump things naturally tighten to protect the body. The body was never meant to have clothes to protect those parts, it was built to run and jump and hang naturally.

Maybe you just need to exercise more often to firm the muscles?

Do you know if he ever thought about or explored the possibility of some sort of surgery? I think I would be thinking about it if I were him.

[Centauri4]

The idea of surgery sounds scary but I have seen where some cosmetic surgery procedures now include the placement of "lacing" in areas such as below the chin to tighten up sagging neck muscles. What has already been said is probably very accurate, in that muscle MUST be used and then allowed time to recuperate between uses, or they shrivel up and become less functional. With the "middle aged" people the inherent elasticity of both the skin and connective tissues lessens, and I recently read that cellulite is not all due to excess body fat, but also attributed to a natural tightening of the underlying connective tissues which pulls in the skin and causes the well known dimpling.

The thing I worry about is getting a saggy butt! Heh heh! And, as I get older, not having the muscle strength to pull someone to safety in an emergency! (Seriously!)

I did not know him well, but merely remember him as a very pleasant young fellow, who, when he changed clothes at his locker, I could plainly see his "amazing condition". I had never spoken to him about it. Others in the barracks casually spoke to persons about it, but surgery was never mentioned.

[txflight1267]

Not sure if this will help you, but when I play nude volleyball or run naked I wear a cockring and that sort of holds things up and there is less bounce. Works for me.

[toadfish327]

Just be thankful you have something swinging around, I usually shrivel up and have practically nothing exterior of the body. I think it is a natural way for the body to protect itself. My suggestion, if you are going to be active, wear a jockstrap or other supportive undergarment.

My girlfriend has 36C breasts. After a while of running around without support, they start to hurt. As me, I do not tend to run around that much while naked.

[geraldstacey]

I went for a three hour hack on horse back, fully clothed and at the end i was very uncomfortable and my scrotal sac was swollen and tender for several days after that, I wish then some one had advised me about using support, I am not in to self flagellation.I think there is an element of unrestrained freedom when you are allowed to move freely you might say euphoria because in the textile world your life is spent trussed up or covered up not by choice. but because of the tenderness and sensitivity of that area, why inflict pain and suffering on your self ?
