I have the exact opposite impression, from the professional dancers, who spend their working lives in dancebelts and tights. To them, it's just a uniform. How could it be otherwise, especially on stage? White tights show everything!
Then, instead of hiding your bulge in loose pants, you show it off in tights. Finally you go to the heart of your soul and DANCE. Of course you feel sensual!
Sure, it is sensual. I just don't have the time to think about it or "enjoy"it in class - I'm too busy trying to learn & perfect my technique, and lay down patterns of movement, and dance! When I dance, I'm not "thinking" - for me, it's Zen in movement, pure concentration. Anything else, and I get distracted, which can be dangerous, depending on what I'm doing. >>Actually, it feels good to be in my dancebelt and I was wondering if other guys felt the same way in their dancebelt. >I will confess I like the way dancebelts feel too. Another one of my sneaking hunches is that many guys who complain about having to wear a dancebelt secretly like them but think the sensual sensation they get wearing one is somehow "wrong" and they feel guilty about it.
Sensation is natural, but, as I said, I try my best to, um, rise above it.
>>Finally, I believe the dancebelt to be the best athletic supporter and all men should use one when they participate in sports and/or the performance arts.>If they called them something else and sold them in sports stores, I'm sure more men would wear them.
There'll always be a place for the good old-fashioned jockstrap, especially the kind that you can put a cup in, for sports like baseball, football, hockey, etc.
I use one under lycra shorts at the gym all the time.
I wear lycra compression shorts at the gym, so a dancebelt is superfluous. But even if I didn't wear compression shorts, I'm not sure I'd wear a dancebelt - I like to run on the treadmill as a way to warm up. A dancebelt would be counterproductive while running, unless I had the nerves in my anal sphincter desensitized first![/i]
