I quit wearing one when I was 16...played till I was 40, my older son quit wearing one when he was about 15 the younger one quit wearing one at the same time.

As long as you do your job the risk is on you.

Old_School - I am not trying to be a wise-guy, but I don't understand your post.  Most players who wear cups are never hit in the groin.  It's possible, however, that the ball can be thrown or hit harder than a person can possibly react.  It's insurance in case that does happen. 

Anecdotal stories of not being injured does not make the case for not wearing cups.  We are talking about the laws of physics and not about whether someone is doing their job.  If you are willing to live with the risks imposed by those laws so be it but not sure that is advice we ought to be giving here.
