JL, you are way too optimistic (pessimistic?) about messenger bags.

Today I am wearing three items of clothes, plus underwear, none of which have pockets.  I'm wearing a skirt today, and it is rare to find a skirt with pockets.  Or most dresses for that matter.  I typically carry a file folder briefcase bag, but I still prefer to have my keys and cell phone in my pockets to prevent digging around and/or fumbling.

As for why we wear clothes, for where I live the climate demands it.  The weather swings too dramatically from hot to cold so our bodies are never fully adjusted to one or the other and need protection.  Also, sitting with your bare ass on things is very uncomfortable.  I've tried doing so enough times to know this is a fact.

That's what I was getting at. Even if you live in a warm climate, who wants to sit on the sand with nothing on your crotch?

Or in the grass for that matter - there's always a twig, rock or a bit-y bug or something.  I suppose instead of being soft and tender, one's ass would become calloused over time though.  Not that that's a desirable thing either.

Personally -- and this might just be me -- even if I'm wearing a skirt and under#####, I still worry about bugs getting in my vajayjay.

In general? Because that might be something you want to talk to someone about.

I feel the need to point out that lots of people in warm places didn't wear (many) clothes until we started making them.

much? many?

Ain't you ever seen Nat'l Geo? Those people balance all their belongings on their heads.

No, just when sitting on the grass in a skirt.

Which I think is somewhat reasonable -- what's to stop an ant from just marching on in? Would I even know?

Skeeves me out. You wouldn't understand, you've got your junk on the outside after all. But really, do you want your wang waving around loose when there are mosquitoes in the air?

I once had to explain to a gay man how semen leaves a woman's pu$$y - "gravity."  He thought it just stayed in there unless it came out with a baby or got menstruated or douched out.  I then had to explain what douche was for, since he thought that that was the purpose of douching.  I'm not googling this, but I'm guessing that the dude was whatever the male equivalent of a Gold Star lesbian is.  Clearly women's pu$$ys only existed as a theory to him. 

I never worry about ants or bugs getting in, but when wearing a skirt I've been bitten on the butt enough times to know it isn't good.  I do occasionally go commando under a skirt, and the feeling of the breeze on my bits is a tad alarming for that brief moment before I remind myself that I'm wearing a skirt.  There's that flash of "oh no - I forgot my dungarees!"  before I remember myself.  I've had nightmares where I've forgotten my clothes, which I guess is where that fear comes from, as I don't think I've ever forgotten to get dressed in my waking life.

Damn, I won't even buy pajamas if they don't have pockets. The concept of pocketless ##### just boggles the mind. I have a female friend that owns pocketless jeans. The fuck? The whole purpose of jeans is to be cheap and durable. "Silhouettes" and shit do not even enter into the equation.
