Should I embarrass myself for a good cause?
My girl friend and I are each 27. She belongs to a charity that is having a fair. There will be at least 100 people attending, adult women mostly but some men too. They want a few guys to go around selling raffle tickets to raise money. The catch is that all I will be wearing in a pink jock strap. That would really be embarrassing for me but I do want to help my girl friends cause because it is important. The organizers say they want the whole thing to be funny because if people are laughing they are more willing to spend their money on the raffle. Shall I embarrass myself by walking around in a crowd of strangers with 3 other guys wearing only a pink jockstrap?

I think you ask a fascinating question. And I think the answer rests with you yourself. Will the embarrassment be painful or destructive to your ego? In other words, will it harm you? If this is something you cannot do it is perfectly OK to decline and to volunteer for other non embarrassing work. After all, I’m sure there will be plenty to do setting up the ever.
However, perhaps you can come to terms with your understandable embarrassment. Feeling embarrassed while you walk around wearing only a pink jock strap in front of friends and strangers--well what guy wouldn’t feel embarrassed. But afterward you could sit down with the other guys who did this to discuss parading around in your jock and all of you could gain some insight about yourselves and your feelings about sex an other issues. That is, it could be a genuinely positive experience for you.
The important thing here is that you recognize the event is important to your girlfriend and because of that you want to contribute. So I hope you find a way to contribute that you can live with and perhaps benefit from. I wish you every success.
