Is it old fashioned to wear a jock at the gym? I dont flaunt myself (got nothing worth seeing!) just find them more comfy in the baggage area!

This is one of those weird things that I've never quite made sense of in my head.
Went to a rugby school when was a kid, but games were always after school or at weekends, so it was always going home for your shower (until I gave up at about 12, so never saw what it was like after.) Any time swimming or at gym, have always seen people wither completely in the nip or getting re-dressed immediately to shower at home.)
As such, I ONLY ever saw jockstraps in an American setting on TVs/movies (or "adult entertainment"), and as such, I've only EVER been able to see them as either things to maintain an actor's dignity/age rating, OR the start/promise/tease of a fetishy sex act. I know that's not the intent, but have only ever seen them marketed or sold anywhere in that context.

Apart from the gay grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ness I thought they were a completely American thing.

I rarely see jockstraps at my (American) gym. There are some, but not many.
Most guys either wear their underwear under their gym shorts or they freeball.

They are literally ‘old-fashioned’ in that the stretch-fabric technology in fashionable underwear, compression shorts, etc. does the job the jock strap was meant to do. They were already not so common back when I was in school, and we were being exhorted to go and cheer for our school teams: “Become an athletic supporter!”

I don't understand their appeal in any situation. I've fucked guys in them and it made to difference to me. In athletics I can't imagine any added function to underwear.

Well, they date from when underpants = boxers.

I've seen a few backside views in the locker room that gave me a long look. The jockstrap contributed to the appeal in those cases.

Yeah, they are a REALLY good aesthetic in the right light/setting.

And the right hairy butt. 
(And I'm not even an ass guy, but have had some good long looks at guys in a jockstrap. More of a cock, bush, trail, pits and thighs guy here.)

They used to be called athletic supports.

It says that on the box. But we say jockstraps. Sounds better.

Still, the puzzle remains. Why did they become synonymous with gay adult/fetish wear??
I was watching a hot guy on OnlyFans being fucked by an equally hot young guy. The first guy only had to pull down his jeans - because he was wearing a jock, his partner had easy access.
