| Ok, I'm a woman-so I'm not an authority- but isn't it poor sportmanship to hit a guy in the groin? Even if he is a jerk-I'd rather beat him fairly, or lose fairly than do that to some guy. It's so sleazy.

My dressing order in full:
Go into changing room.
Take off work clothes except pants and bra.
T-shirt, breeches (can't call them knickers, can't, can't), socks, trainers, boadicea-boobs, plastron (always plastron over barbie-boobies or you have seams pressed against you by the plastic), braces over shoulders.
Realise have forgotten water bottle.
Go downstairs from changing room. Dump bag at side of room. Trip over the rack of club jackets left out for newbies.
Bodywire, jacket, lame.
Find someone to fence with.
Get hooked up to reel and link up body cords. Fail to link own bodywire to loop on lame without help, due to incompetence
Have opponent remind me my lame seam has gone skew-whiff. Adjust.
Glove, link wire to foil, mask. Salute.
Fence.
Shake hand of opponent and apologise for not being very challenging.
Buy Five-Alive from vending machine due to lack of water bottle.
Try to iavoid eye-contact with coach's assistant/son summoning me over for a lesson.
Go for lesson. Miss a lot.
Repeat fencing process a bit.
Reverse dressing process, spraying deodorant to mask sweat (no showers at our club).
Go to pub for pint of shandy.
Go home.
Fail to be able to efficiently climb stairs in the morning and praise god there is an escalator at the station near my office.
Was that an over-share?

That said, I don't aim for that area, but I do hit it on occasion. If he's not wearing a cup, it's his problem.

| I never aim for that area, but often the blade will bind, or someone does something unexpected and wa-la! You’re apologizing to your opponent… yeah yeah... valid target area but almost shishkabobbing someone’s tender parts (cup or no cup) deserves some kind of apology.

And with a guy that I know well, it's sometimes accompanied by some comment about hoping he wasn't planning on having kids anytime soon.  I've also been skewered pretty hard in that area myself - and at least once, the first thing out of my mouth was "That's the most action I've seen all day!"

| I prefer to begin with my shoes and jacket, and then creatively work the other items of clothing into place. Puzzling out the topography can really limber up your brain, to say nothing of your limbs. | |

| So I feel obliged to repost the UTFC Groin-hit Legend.
True story, I was around for the final show.
Guy fences Epee. No cup. Gets hit in the cojones. Again. And Again. And Again. And Again. Still no cup. And Again. To the point where, around 30ish touches in the region, the club clown starts a pool. $1 max bet per person you're betting on, place your bets on which fencer gets the 40th touch on this guy's berries.
31. 32.. 33... 34.... still no cup. 40! Ding ding ding! We have a... wait, no. No one bet on this guy. Well, what do we do now?
...maybe we should have bought the guy a cup...

| Underware, sorks. T-shirt, then breeches. Plastron, followed by jacket. Stick little coconut type breast protectors in pockets of jacket. Glove (but I don't do up the velcro). Bodycord, then fasten velcro. Attach head cord to back of lame. Lame. Attach bodycord connection to lame. Attach reel to lame and body cord, then body cord to sabre. Plug in mask. Test, salute. Apply mask. Fence.
If I'm using my expensive glove (the one with the lame cuff) I put on the glove after the lame.

| Since most everyone left it out...I guess I'm asking the guys-
Jock and cup over underwear, or anyone go without? I was always putting it over my underwear until one day- (warning- possible TMO) I wore black underwear. I don't think they would show through my FIE stuff, but I don't want to find out. I went jock with cup only and I gotta say it was pretty comfortable.
Anyone go without a shirt? Only a plastron is required under a jacket. I used to do that back in high school, but I think I sweat a lot more now. | |

| well endowed folks...
For those well endowed folks (like me)....
Jock and cup followed by additional support from those stretchy sports undershorts to really keep everything snug and secure.
Socks
tight fitting underarmour t
plastron
knickers with straps over the plastron
ankle braces: they are bulky so put them on after knickers rather than with socks...
shoes
jacket and bodywire
lame'
run around and stretch a bit so everything sort of settles in...
then, finally the tiger striped do-rag complete with sewn in headband.
Thats how I do it....

Undershorts over? Maybe I'll try it.
Anyone ever use those compression shorts that have a cup built in? | |
