Guys You Better Start Shaving, or get used to waxing! (Penis Jeans part 3)


Co-Administrator and Author Nicole brought this cute little photo to my attention. This photo is from a Benetton Catalog from their new line of clothes. What the hell's up with the banana yellow His/Hers Penis Pants? Now, 1 or 2 clothing stores doing this doesn't necessarily constitute a trend but, when you have 3 or more, I would say it is the beginning of a new trend in pop culture. Well... enter Abercrombie & Fitch into the mix and we got ourselves a trend. It turns out one of the comments was correct on the Penis Jeans Post:

in the near future, men will be subjected to millions of images of perfect young men like this and gay men & women will reject any man that isn't similarly toned and hairless as this...start signing up for 3 hours daily in the gym and lots of body waxing boys, or we'll say your icky and refuse to date you

So I kept looking for more examples of these types of images and jeans/pants and this is what I found: A bunch of half naked teenagers running threw a field with their pants falling down. Apparently, a poster of this photo was removed BY THE POLICE in Virginia Beach, VA. Talk about violation of freedom of speech. So you can see the young man's "dime crack" and his naked back, it isn't obscene or wrong. It isn't immoral in anyway. How is this any different than showing someone running at a beach with out a shirt on? I may think the trend is stupid, but I do think it's wrong for Police to step in and force the Abercrombie & Fitch store to remove the poster from it's store window when in the same mall, Victoria Secrets had nearly completely nude mannequins in their windows, and posters of brazilian women in their underwear. Sounds like a double standard.

So where is this trend coming from, of sagging jeans. From what I've read on other websites it seems to have started in urban poor areas of town. Some people say it was from gang bangers, some say from prisoners who had been released from jail. Some say it started when jails started prohibiting belts to avoid suicides and prisoners just became used to the feeling of sagging off the ass pants. Here is one explanation from a black poster:

The Truth about the Sag To all young Black men; to all fathers, mothers and sistahs locked with young brothers who wear their pants on or below their butts; here is a truth Afromerica thinks you should know about the sag style. Prison inmate intimacy is the root.
From the mouth of a brother recently release from one of the northeast most hardcore prisons comes this truth. No longer concerned about his own dignity but more concerned about the dignity and reputation of young Black men everywhere, this brother reveals the secrets of prison intimacy among young men.
He tells us that when a new inmate has resorted to wearing the pants of his blues around the middle of his butt, it is a prison message for his manhood is ready for breaking, and when he wears it down below his butt, he already belongs to someone inside.The myth that this trend came from having belts confiscated from inmates, which caused their pants to sag is not accurate, but have only help further glamorize the image of prison apparel among today’s urban and suburban youth.
They believe it a ‘hard’ image to portray among other youth in the hood, never even having been behind bars. However, once the truth gets out about the meaning of the sag, more youth should reconsider how they wear their pants or the wrong message about them will be taken.Please pass this message along to someone you may know who has a young son that wears their gear like so. Tell them they must reconsider the trend and make an effort to change. Their manhood is at stake.

So is this trend coming from the jails and streets, or is it just coming from some executive in some tall building somewhere, we won't ever know but one thing is for sure guys, if you want to start wearing these jeans you better start taking care of your junk area, cause I don't want to see your pubes.
