They're underwear worn as outerwear. And they're uncomfortable. Too hot in summer, bunching around your feet. They add nothing to the wardrobe. And that recent style of wearing strange colored socks did nothing for me. It reminded me of those white-collared and cuffed but otherwise patterned or colored shirts. Why do that? The contrast just messes up an otherwise smooth look (if you've managed to match your clothes properly).
But yes -- nothing drives home a point like a warning that a certain behavior will result in involuntary celibacy. In fact, many here would agree, these are some of the only warnings that stick in a man's head. Since I've been old enough to sleep with them, women have told me I've failed to listen to this or that ("You're not listening to me.") If only they'd slapped the qualifier at the front, "If you do this, I [will not sleep with you]/[will sleep with you more]." The only thing that might attract more immediate attention, and action, would be, "Get out of the way of that missile overhead." The only statement that might stick more in the subconscious would be, "[Insert behavior] will cause your penis to Never Work Again."
The lizard brain associates the sock with sex preclusion. And so The Sock Goes. It's not terribly complicated. I don't have time for the terribly complicated. That portion of the brain belongs to gin, and arguing robot impacts on labor markets with Adder.
