I think about all the times I wore tight or revealing clothes. Some men, of course, donРІР‚в„ўt mind these images, but some really do mind because they want to keep their thoughts and hearts pure. These images come up automatically even when the men DO NOT want them to come up. They remember every womanРІР‚в„ўs body they had sex with. Ask most men, and they will probably remember the first naked body they saw in their big brotherРІР‚в„ўs pornography collection or seedy magazine. ItРІР‚в„ўs instinctual (meaning that they are designed to be able to appreciate, admire, and remember a nice body when they see one). When we wear tight or revealing clothes, men sometimes automatically envision us naked (and sometimes naked with them). Job 31:1 РІР‚вЂњ РІР‚СљI made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.РІР‚Сњ

My old church was not very big and had stadium-type seats, so if the women had on short skirts and did not have their legs closed or covered with something, the pastor admitted that he could sometimes see their underwear! How embarrassing and shameful is that?! Here is the pastor trying to preach the Word of God, and he canРІР‚в„ўt concentrate because your underwear are visible to him! One of the most righteous men in the Bible, Job, even had to make a vow with his eyes for his eyes not to look with lust at a female. This PASTOR was not ashamed to allude to the fact that an UNDERAGED female was very distracting to him. In this book, which interviewed and surveyed thousands of heterosexual males, one of the boys said that his pastor told a lady in the church to remove a girl who was sitting in the front row who was wearing a skirt that was too short. I can wear a bra in public if I want to, but itРІР‚в„ўs not beneficial or constructive to those men who will see me and who will lust for me because of my attire. It may be what I want to do when its 97 degrees Fahrenheit outside in July in Texas, but that doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean that I should seek my РІР‚СљgoodРІР‚Сњ at the expense of all the men who will run into me in my short shorts. Just because I can wear short shorts, doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean itРІР‚в„ўs whatРІР‚в„ўs best. I learned that just because we CAN do certain things, that doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean that we should. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.РІР‚Сњ Everything is permissible-but not everything is constructive. WeРІР‚в„ўre visual too, but not like them we are more tactile.Р”РЋ Corinthians 10:23-24 РІР‚вЂњ РІР‚СљEverything is permissible-but not everything is beneficial. The book said that they have a storage file in their brains of the nice bodies they have seen throughout their life! They can remember bodies from years ago. The book said that men will envision womenРІР‚в„ўs bodies long after the fact. I donРІР‚в„ўt walk around with visions of muscular male bodies in my head. To all the women readers, how much throughout the day would you think about or envision the nice physique of a dude you are crushing on? Most women will say, РІР‚СљNot much at all or never.РІР‚Сњ Once women see a manРІР‚в„ўs nice body, most of us immediately forget about it when the man or photograph (stimulus) is gone. Seriously, how tempting can I be with the body of a 12-year-old boy?РІР‚СњР”В«ut after reading this book called For Young Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa A. IРІР‚в„ўm petite (size 0), so I also figured, РІР‚СљI can wear what I want because I donРІР‚в„ўt have wide hips or a voluptuous chest. It was like, РІР‚СљI became a Christian, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!РІР‚Сњ I became a Christian and lost all my old life, and I was not even allowed to dress how I wanted. I always figured that since I was not able to have premarital sex and party hardy, it would only be fair that I would get to have at the least THIS choice over my life. I just didnРІР‚в„ўt understand why saved people had to change their style of clothes for others. I didnРІР‚в„ўt like that they wanted women to cover their arms with sleeves or shawls. You probably thought, РІР‚СљWhy canРІР‚в„ўt the men just pray to God to help them not be so lusty?!РІР‚Сњ I didnРІР‚в„ўt like that they wanted women to have the modesty scarves over their knees when their skirts were too short or showed their knees. If youРІР‚в„ўre anything like how I used to be, you might have had a hard time accepting the fact that some churches wanted the women to dress conservatively or modestly.
