Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker demands proof before agreeing to anything intimate, and the humour lies in how bluntly it's put. 'Pants are staying on' turns a demand for evidence into a physical bargaining position: no facts, no progress. It's deadpan, practical, and a little cheeky.
