Replies to '01/28 The Baggy Pants Debate'

Hi All,

I just joined. I am from Nevada. I am only reporting what I was told by an assistant warden of one of the penitentiaries. He cured his own boys of wearing baggy pants at the hips, by telling them the style started showing up in prisons, to show availability for male to male sex. This was by flaunting the backside and underwear with hip level baggy pants. Some men who were termed "bitches" were made to wear them low like that to show they may have "belonged" to someone else or were willing to be "receivers." He said it started way back, maybe in the early eighties. My argument is there are no belts allowed in prison, but you can buy pants out of jail that aren't four sizes too big so they hang that low! It may have just turned into mainly a "prison chic" after some time then moved on to "street chic," I will say that. So this tale of origin may cure men of wanting to carry on that "look."
