I am 15 and I play basketball. Do I need a jockstrap? I wear one when working out at the gym and stuff but in games do I? It seems like most guys my age and men do.

Yes for a couple of reasons:
1. It keeps your junk from swinging and mild bruising that can be painful.
2. You're 15. From time to time, you're going to get pants'd and you'll appreciate the elasticity of a jock strap! Boxer's or briefs will come down with the shorts.

Wow, i've played basketball my whole life and was in varsity football 2 years, and i've never put a jock on. You wear one while lifting weights? Weird kid... I wear underware and then tights over them so my nutts don't slap my legs, it keeps them tight when running. But you really don't need one use tights or biker shorts with shorts over them. Like the NBA stars do.

Yes unless you want to end up playing women's basketball!
