In his book The Arena of Masculinity, Brian Pronger
describes the jockstrap as "... perhaps the quintessential homoerotic ritual
robe because, just as it enshrines the symbol of the myth of masculinity,
so too the straps that originate in the top elastic circumscribe the buttocks
and disappear in the anus, bringing us to that place where masculinity meets
its mythic undoing. And so, as suggested by the versatility of Apollo, there
are two sides to the jockstrap that symbolize the homoerotic paradox: the
pouch in the front as the shrine of masculinity joined to the straps in the
back framing its mythic violation." |
