Take your fleshjack out from between your couch cushions and check under them for some loose change, because if you can scrounge up almost $40,000 you can own Elvis Presley's actual and personalized jock strap. That's right! Elvis actually wore this jeweled jockstrap to hold The King's family jewels, and, apparently, he wore it regularly! WOOF! The actual current bid for Elvis' studded jock is currently listed at $37,339.81, listed on auction/sale website 1stDibs.

Originally made for Presley by a fan, the off white-colored jockstrap is bedazzled all around with clear gems, with the singer's initials in big, blue letters, made up of blue gems. Before he passed away from a drug-related cardiac arrest in 1977, Elvis gifted the jockstrap to his good Cousin Billy Smith's son. At some point from there, the jockstrap landed in the hands of another of Elvis' friend's hands. Jimmy Velvet was one of Elvis' closest confidants and would also become the curator of the Elvis Presley Museum in Memphis, TN which would house the jockstrap for years.

On a sheerly aesthetic level the jockstrap is definitely giving 1970s design vibes and honestly, I'm here for it. The fact that the jockstrap was worn regularly by Elvis only makes it even hotter, and tbqfh I don't think it should stay behind a glass box. Wear that thing! Bring it to the pool party! Maybe you're going to the Sin City Shootout in Las Vegas this January and you want to celebrate your wrestling win in style. Bring out Elvis' actual jockstrap and wear it. Wanna know why? Because you're in Las Vegas and IT'S ELVIS' ACTUAL FUCKING JOCKSTRAP!

Listen... did Elvis steal music and dance moves from Black people... yes. But I'll tell ya another thing he stole: my gay-ass heart at a young age. So, if (...when?) you (I?) do buy it, just know that it will not live within the glass-encased box that it's currently in. I'm just saying. The jockstrap comes with a certificate authenticity tracing its origins from fan, to Elvis, to the museum and also includes free shipping! We love free shipping when we're buying jockstraps, ya know?
