Do ankle bracelets still have sexual connotations for younger people today?

[Chatterlyssecret]

Back in the 80s wearing an ankle bracelet showed you were up for sex or open for men to approach you, is it still a thing now with the younger generation?

Not heard of the ankle bracelet thing, but was told that in a group of women wearing bunny ears (usually hen do). That the ones with one ear bent down are single or open to be approached. This was in Glasgow.

🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the laugh

I heard the prostitute rumour in the ‘80’s too.

Try wearing a “HW” charm or a ♠️ symbol

That might get you some attention x

This is cultural sexism and how we police sexuality with signs and symbols. Notice how there are no pieces of jewellery that we believe signify a man is sexually active with multiple partners. It makes me want to wear 37 ankle bracelets.

The "37 Club"? Blimey. Well, you're a bit of a dark horse, aren't you...! 😉

To be fair, people have ankle bracelets for many reasons. Shoplifting, for example.

I'd need a 50 Club bracelet. Maybe some kind of masculine charm one with room for that many on it.

Two that I can think of immediately even considering that men wear less jewellery than women:

medallion for straight men
in my youth, a pierced ear was sometimes a sign of a gay man

Oh, do one, ffs. For a start nobody makes anybody wear anything. If a girl, or guy for that matter, wants to wear a bracelet anywhere, it's up to them.
