Kmart promotes abstinence pants.
Jessica Valenti points out that retail chain Kmart has begun selling abstinence-gear for juniors:
The description for the products reads, Ã¢â‚¬Å“Whether she is lounging around the house, going to practice, or doing her chores. These soft athletic style crop pants will keep her comfy.Ã¢â‚¬Â One Feministing commenter adds, Ã¢â‚¬Å“Because nothing says Ã¢â‚¬ËœI plan not to have sex until marriageÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ like plastering text across your ass.Ã¢â‚¬Â

you know all the slutty teenagers are going to start wearing those as a joke-- just like the druggies wearing D.A.R.E. tees!

If they're meant to ward off sexual thoughts and deeds, why is there writing on the ass?

If you like feministing, you should check out Shakespeare's Sister on blogspot.

I bet the teenagers wearing them still get laid the same amount as those who don't.
Either way, it comes off more as flirtatious ('can't touch this' *wink and a sly smile*) than as some sort of deterrent.

Why not just wear brown burlap bags, the old-fashioned way??

People, people: burlap bags are one-size fits all, with a little artful use of twine here and there.
Next stop: hairshirts!

Yeah, if you really wanted to deter sex, there are much better design ideas.

Me too! I was thinking of pants with like, steel diapers or something...
And the headline alone for this thread is hilarious. I think the phrase "chastity pants" should be put into general usage. Like "that party is going to be about as much fun as chastity pants." Or something... :roll:
Edit: Or "abstinence pants." Whatever.
