I've never actually girded my loins. I think it refers to preparing for battle by strapping armor over your genitals.

Looking up this phrase on Google the definition is -Gird your loins - Idioms by The Free Dictionaryhttps://idioms.thefreedictionary.com › gird+your+loins If someone girds their loins or girds up their loins, they prepare themselves mentally to deal with a difficult situation.

Yes, obviously. But the phrase is much older than anything that would be a common idiom today. It's actually used several times in the Old Testament, and refers to wrapping a tunic around your waist (thus freeing up your legs) in preparation for battle. So, "girding," as in "girdle." A physical, not a mental preparation.
