Answer

A cup is sensible or even mandatory to wear in (organized) sports where getting hit in the genitals is a real risk. Apart from the very real pain a hit there can cause, it can also cause very real damage.

A jockstrap - unless used to hold a cup in place - isn't necessary.

Some use them instead of underwear. Many don't.

Answer

A cup is necessary to protect you from getting hit in the testicles during sports. A jockstrap can hold the cup in place. Some are made just to support the genitals while you work out, better than normal underwar would.

How do you place your penis in a jockstrap?

It kind of depends. Different men wear jockstraps differently. Most often, the jockstrap replaces underwear entirely--one option. This is what I'd recommend in general. If you are wearing a hard cup, e.g. in baseball, then usually you wear the jock outside your sliding shorts. But a lot of sliding shorts have a cup pouch built in, making a jock unnecessary. In hockey, if the cup pouch isn't built in, the jock can go outside. I see no reason to wear a swimming jock if you are wearing racing trunks or jammers, so don't bother wearing a jock in this case.
