I'm opinionated! But this opinion is not for myself...it's from my experience.
I once, at the insistence of a female, wore my penis down, allowing my equpment to fall back into my crotch. I did one tour jete, and fell down in pain. I had bruised a testicle. The urologist could not believe it! He couldn't imagine how much damage a dance move could do. I was in pain for almost four weeks! Can you imagine what it's like to have to ice a bruised testicle?
For my style of dance, where I move my legs in close scissor-like movements, I need to have my equipment up and out of my crotch. Maybe your body is different, but do you want to take the chance of a bruised testicle?
Maybe there are guys who have the anatomy that allows their legs to move without bruising a testicle, and can wear their equpiment down. I for one would not want to take that chance again.
