Why do people get banned for talking about sex with miners

Only certain kind of miners, strip miners are ok ;)
 
I'm reminded of another old song:

My sweetheart's the mule in the mine
Down below, where the sun never shine
And all day I just sit
And I chew, and I spit
All over my sweetheart's behine​
 
Lets stop being cute and just say the word.

Laurel is afraid of podiatrists.
 

They worked naked because of the heat, and George Orwell totally romanticized this in his essay Down the Mine.

A few choice excerpts to enrich the view above...

It is impossible to watch the ‘fillers’ at work without feelling a pang of envy for their toughness. It is a dreadful job that they do, an almost superhuman job by the standard of an ordinary person.

Really? Tell me more, George!

They really do look like iron hammered iron statues — under the smooth coat of coal dust which clings to them from head to foot. It is only when you see miners down the mine and naked that you realize what splendid men, they are. Most of them are small (big men are at a disadvantage in that job) but nearly all of them have the most noble bodies; wide shoulders tapering to slender supple waists, and small pronounced buttocks and sinewy thighs, with not an ounce of waste flesh anywhere.
