A Variety of Jockstrap Statements

If you have visited Belgium, you may know that the country is renowned for its handcraft laces and fine embroideries. In Brussels, Rubbrecht is the shop for quality products. That is where Armand Wood, 46, works as a designer of table linens and round doilies with intricate or delicate patterns. Armand is gay and people are not surprised to see him working mainly with women. What they don’t know is that Armand’s hobby consists in designing and and producing… jockstraps. He calls them virile doilies.

Armand lives two blocks from Rue Neuve, a pedestrian street with an average number of 43,000 visitors each day. There is no sign indicating his jockstrap shop; word of mouth, so to speak, brings guys to drop by. The boutique occupies the entire basement; on the ground floor the artist’s studio takes up almost all the space. Armand likes to worship, photograph and draw men who do honor to his jockstraps with a huge bulge and/or a peachy butt.

Some clients who are familiar with the homoerotic drawings of Tom of Finland nickname Armand Tom of Belgium. But he remains modest and does not pretend to compete with the world-renowned icon of homosexual pornography. Clients who accept to be a model cannot sit or stand still for hours, So, Armand takes pics from every angle: waist band, pouch, side straps, cock, balls, ass, chest, nipples, face, name it, the artist has an image. Mushroom knobs, ass dimples and inviting cracks are just some of the inspiring features.

One of Armand’s first drawing shows a guy in is early twenties sitting down on his feet, face turned towards us. He has blond hair, a short beard, a slim and firm body. His jock is white and we only see the strap on the right thigh, and the waist band on the back. They highlight a peachy butt and you immediately want to lick the slightly hairy crack to reach his yummy rosebud.

Jockstrap are often white or black. Some rainbow pouches have appeared on the turn of the century. What distinguishes Armand’s production is the variety of solid colors based on the hanky code. In the 1970s and 1980s, queer men wore a bandana or handkerchief in one of their back pocket for the purpose of sexual signaling. The color was associated with a specific sexual practice or fetish, and the wearer’s sexual role was indicated by which back pocket the bandana resided. Tops wore it in their left pocket, bottoms in their right pocket.

The hanky code initially began with the use of red bandanas to discreetly identify practitioners of fisting. Other color/fetish associations were gradually added. Use of the hanky code spread throughout the 1990s. Practiced predominately by queer men in the Bondage, Discipline, and Sado-Masochism (BDSM) or leather subculture, the hanky code became part of the gay mainstream.

In Armand’s boutique, a large Hanky Code sign directs clients to their preferred color. Fantasy leads some guys to sniff the jockstrap before paying for their purchase. It is well known that what you don’t see remains more erotic than a blunt picture of a hard-on or begging ass. By the way, a boner is sometimes called “morning wood”; Armand’s last name happens to be Wood…!

The yellow code stands for watersports. In that case, the photos are taken in the shower area where the artist enjoys being pissed on. Light blue means oral sex, and Armand is both receiver and performer. When it comes to anal sex (navy), he enjoys both the top and the bottom position. Red is OK as long as he is the fister. Armand draws a line when it comes to brown (scat) or Kelly green (hustler). What Armand enjoys the most is drawing the picture of a man wearing a beige jockstrap: rimmer or rimmee.

During an evening at Le Baroque, one of the ten best gay clubs and bars in Brussels, Armand is cruised by a bear in his late 50s.

“I’m told that you have a wide selection of jockstraps for sale”, says bear Teddy.

“Yes, you will find exactly what you want. I can even draw a picture of you wearing the prized possession.”

“Can we go to your place now? I might need some help for the selection and the fitting!”

On that note, Armand slaps Teddy’s butt and they are both on their way to the artist’s studio. Bears are heavy guys and Teddy is a good illustration. His wide butt always draws the attention of fuckers, and his huge bulge makes cocksuckers salivate like kids over a lolipop. When Teddy sees the color codes, he immediately states that white (masturbation only) is not for him. Tan (cigars) describes a bit of him, but not as much as rust (cowboy). Armand watches him undress and gets a boner or wood just by seeing the deep hairy crack. As soon as he caresses the watermelon offering, Teddy displays a huge hard-on. He’s cut, 23 cm long (9 inches), slightly curved rod.

The bear opts for a rust-colored jockstrap (cowboy). Armand knows that the dynamite tool will not fit in unless he releases the tension by pumping the man juice. On his knees, he slowly licks the reddish mushroom, sucks the cowboy’s rod while squeezing the ball bearings. “Pinch my nipples, man, I want to cream your face with a heavy load!” The eruption is plentiful, and Armand leaves some drippings for the jockstrap pouch. It will be so hot drawing it. He puts on a cowboy hat, projects a ranch scene on the background wall, and installs a saddle for Teddy to hop on.  

Hung like a horse, Teddy can’t wait to fuck his lad. Since the scenario is filmed, Armand doesn’t have to draw his guest’s portrait now; he is more interested in offering a tight ass hole for spit lubrification and manly pounding. Teddy’s cock girth is a whooping 16 cm (6.3 inches). Even by adding gel to the spit, the penetration triggers loud screams of pain. But Teddy is accustomed to that reaction and knows that his skill will slowly but surely transform screams into moans of pleasure.

Armand is also wearing a rust-colored jockstrap, and that makes him more in tune with his partner. He sniffs Teddy’s soiled virile garment, and begs for a deeper bareback fuck. He wants to feel like a mare serviced by a horse. He wants his shit hole filled with a creamy wild nectar that he will shoot back in Teddy’s face and mouth after the divine inside explosion.

Tell me the color of your jockstrap and I’ll tell you who you are!
