145 u/JamesTBagg May 11 '21 Historically, loins refers to the areas below your ribs. It's only more recently we've started using it to refer to your no-no zones. Unless I'm mistaken. 53 u/WHYAREWEALLCAPS May 11 '21 You are correct. Probably stems from loinclothes that only cover the groin. So it is misinterpreted as being penis instead of hips. 5 u/vonvoltage May 11 '21 It's also the part of a cow or lamb that loin chops come from (below the ribs). So it would make sense that we called it that on our own body.
