I have a couple of pairs of jeans that fit pretty snug. I used to get teased about it and I was self conscious about that. I kind of still am a bit self conscious. I had a red pair that seemed to draw a lot of attention. I really liked them, and I received some compliments while wearing them. I also got some comments. I think the combination of the pair being both bright red and slim was the motivation. I did part with them some 5 years ago, though I cannot recall why.
Last night Beth sent me this article which is a quick read. She then asked if I had read the linked article and after some clarification, she sent me this other article. Suddenly something became quite clear. I have experienced a torsioned testicle a long time ago when I first started wearing skinny jeans. When I first exprienced it, I wasn't wearing toght fitting jeans as I was at work and a more relaxed fit was required for mobility in that job. I experienced it again in the hospital when I had pre-cancerous cells removed from my intenstines. I commented to the doctor that my testicle may be torsioned and I was flatly told "you'd be screaming in pain if that were the case." He did not know that I have a fairly high tolerance for pain. I was wearing a hospital gown and no undies so skinny jeans weren't the cause here either. I've had a couple of further experiences with torsion in the years since, though they are pretty mild comparatively.
I had not experienced this before wearing skinny jeans and I'm now thinking that it's a good idea to replace the couple of pairs I still own with more relaxed fit jeans. I like the feel of skinny jeans on my legs, though testicle torsion is really something I would happily avoid going forward.
