Why do male ballet dancers use cups and straps to hold down their junk?

No. I dated a couple of them.

They don't want the distraction of their junk flopping all over the place. Believe it or not, they want people to focus on the dance.

Those tights are pretty thin and, if a light color, not much is left to the imagination. VPL is real. There is also the possibility of an embarrassing natural event happening that might distract from the performance. In other words, they wear the cups for the same reason gays don't wear them.

Sometimes their cup runneth over.

They don't wear "cups", r2, they wear dance belts.

Correct, R4. It's like a jock-strap only a bit snugger. So hawt.

We wore them to protect the goods from getting hit or over stretching.

^^^ Yes, an accidental knee to the groin especially during rehearsals is not fun.

cups? Oh brother.

Don't most ballet dancers have big cocks?

OP, have you tried leaping around with your balls flying free? It ain't fun...

I wonder why they frequently look so bulbous if they're trying (in part) to avoid attracting the eye to their genitals. It can be very distracting.

It's called a padded dance belt.

They always have fantastic asses though

How much can they flop around in tights?

Stretching?

Oh brother, yourself, cunt.

^^^ And tasty, too!

They're also designed to provide moisture wicking, because with all that activity, things down their might become schwetty, perhaps showing up on the tights.

i think you're meant to be paying attention to other things

So many reasons, all good ones. Go to TikTok if you want to see junk through pants.

r14 they are not compression leggings, they are tights. It will flop around.

R19 Like their butts. Their tight muscular manly beefy bubble-butts.

R22 That raises another reason for the cups. Some of the boys may get turned on watching the other boys dance, so they don't want any embarrassing stiffies and pre-cum showing.

I’d pay good money to watch male ballet dancers wearing nothing under their tights.
