Both men and women are perpetrators and victims of indecent dressing; just as most women seduce men by exposing their cleavages and other sensitive parts, most men also harass and arouse women sexually by not packing their manhood properly.

When ever indecent dressing is raised as a subject, people tend to presume that it borders down on females.

Dress codes are written and, more often, unwritten rules with regard to clothing. The effect of your clothing choices might be much more powerful than you think. Fair or not, people judge us by the way we look and that includes the way we dress.

To manage the societal menace, some institutions, offices and places of worship have ban certain outfits. Nevertheless, little or no emphasis has been made by the society on the men’s dressing and how they pack their manhood.

Yes I will mind my business but before I do, let’s quickly take a look a the mishap you could cause.

Effect on Others

Research shows that 95% of sexual harassment and rape cases are as a result of indecent dressing. The heart and body can only desire what the eye sees; the same way men get aroused by what they see, females do too.

Studies have shown that both men and women engage in the act of seduction; just as most women expose their cleavages and other sensitive parts, men also arouse and harass women by not packing their manhood properly. The truth be told, these practices do not conform to the norms and values of the society, particularly the African society.

Effect on Yourself

It may be obvious that what you wear affects others’ perceptions of you. But one interesting aspect of dress and ‘how you pack’ is that the way you pack can affect how you behave.

In an old article in the Academy of Management Review, scientists theorized that exhibiting actions not in line with the expectations of how one would behave when wearing that clothing creates a psychological conflict called cognitive dissonance. And to relieve the conflict, people will change their behavior to match their dress. Of course, your behaviour changes to suit the careless way you pack without your explicitly being aware of it.

Effect on Your Performance

One may ask, what is it about dressing that has such a profound impact on our behavior and our self-perceptions? To give an explicit answer, I would give an illustration of a medical doctor who packs carelessly and as a result, the female patient he attended to got distracted therefore jeopardizing the Doctor’s effort.

How to reduce wrong ‘laying of pipe’

There are various ways in which ‘wrong laying of pipe’ can be reduced in our society at least to a minimum level.

  • Men should be conscious of their manhood before stepping out of their houses
  • Men should wear under garments and pants that can hold their manhood properly
  • Men should be conscious of their manhood after using the convenience
  • Avoid fitted pair of trousers if you are well endowed.
  • Parents should dress and act as role models to their children
  • Awareness should be created on the effect of wrong ‘laying of pipe’.
  • The mass media should do more to promote decency in all aspects of dressing
