Does anyone else (male) suffer from sore nuts. When doing my Sunday long run, I find that the constant banging against my leg becomes v.painful. It soon goes away after the run. I have tried lycra shorts but doesn't seem to help. Does anyone run in Jockstraps?

Wear underwear you fool :-). I didn't for a while and something much more scarey than sore nuts happened to me. You can get some slip things in the M&S sports gear range.
Scotty, the problem is the running legging things rather than shorts. Apart from anything else the seam is in the wrong place. This is more important as the winter sets in and you need leggings to keep your muscles warm. No double entendre intended.
I do get bloody blisters from my orthotics though - bodyglide is on its way in the post. It better work!
Gives you something to think about on the run too....
It's not easy being a man!
I had similar problems and found that lycra shorts made it worse. My solution is shorts with an inner brief for warm weather and speedo (brief) style swimming trunks under lycra shorts or leggings during colder weather.
good luck
