In this journal entry, I am going to talk about my interest in loincloths.

I’ve been into loincloths since I was a kid. When I was young, I had a fascination for primitive tribes, thought that breechcloth-clad Native Americans, loincloth-clad cavemen and loincloth-clad warriors were cool, and wondered what it would feel like to wear nothing but a loincloth. I was also a fan of movies such as The Indian in the Cupboard and Disney’s Tarzan and Pocahontas. For reasons that I don’t really know, I kept my interest in loincloths to myself and didn’t tell anyone about it. As time passed, other things attracted my attention and my interest in loincloths went away.

In mid 2005, I started playing the trading card game Magic: The Gathering and I took a bit of a liking to some of the races that wore loincloths (particularly the Auriok from the Mirrodin block, and later, the Orochi-bito from the Kamigawa block). Sometime after that, I began to watch the Beastmaster TV series, and soon enough, my interest in loincloths came back to me.

In early 2008, I came across links to a few website pages that were about loincloths. A while after that, I bought some fabric and made a few breechcloth-style loincloths (which I sometimes wear in my bedroom at home and in my bedroom at college). I have yet to go out and about in one of those loincloths, as there isn’t much wilderness around where I live and where I go to college.
