Walking porn? Why not teach men self control?

There really is no fine line when it comes to this senario ... even in the case of rape ... A woman might see it as rape in various degree's all the way from words spoken to actual physical violence.
The thing to do as a man ... is always try and read the woman , be diligent in processing her signals into actual meaning. I guess when in doubt , ask a straight question about it , even at the risk of that ending in no actual sex.

Women do use their sexual prowess to influence men ... and depending on the situation , a man can miss the opportunity she will give him to act upon it , especially if there is competition for her affections. But the man that goes out on the prowl can be spotted a mile away , and will get dismissed in favor of one showing less interest.

Its a freakin mystery most of the time , as it should be ... because the mystery is part of the attraction.

When I go out clubbing on a Saturday night I tell my wife that I'm visiting a sick friend or I need to see a man about a dog. She never suspects.

I'm careful to remove my wedding ring (the pale line on my ring finger is hardly noticeable).

I always apply twice as much cologne (Old Spice) as usual because I know that it drives the girls crazy.

Before I put on my brown corduroys (one size too small so that my butt crack will show when I bend over... very sexy) and my sky blue silk shirt (the one with the really big collar) I always make sure that I'm wearing the gold chain with my astrological symbol on it. This is always sexily set off by my four or five chest hairs.

I practice (out loud) my pickup lines while driving down to the nightclub.

When I walk in I first scout the bar. It's always obvious that all the girls want me by the way they are dressed. I pick out the most beautiful one and (after explaining that I am prematurely grey) I say "This is your lucky night". If she turns away and ignores me I know that she is very interested, but too shy to show it. If she says "f off old man" I know she is just playing hard to get and really wants me.

We all know that when a lady says no, she really means yes.

I hope you all see the sarcasm.

But do not make them feel responsible for the reaction of men to them.

Is it not possible to acknowledge the reality of the situation without assigning "responsibility" to the woman?

Yes, it would be great if we lived in a world where women could wear the most immodest thing they wanted, and all men would avert their gaze and keep their thoughts clean and pure. I suspect LDS leaders would do almost anything to live in such a world.

But we don't live in that world, so it seems odd to insist that we should try and pretend we do.

Calling women "walking pornography" certainly assigns responsibility to the woman. They're pushing porn in the man's face, aren't they?

This conversation wouldn't be so ridiculous were it not for the fact that we're talking about LDS women. It's been a long time since I've been to church, but I would guess that, in the interim, LDS women haven't started dressing like hookers.

If a sixty year old man is going to masturbate to the image of a young LDS girl in his ward, I seriously doubt it's because she wore daisy duke short jeans or a see-through shirt. Seriously, what ward do you attend? The ward of Sodom and Gomorrah?

And how is it that Oaks couldn't get his point across by simply stating that the church has standards of modesty for dress which people should keep in mind? Why in the world was it necessary to call women "walking pornography"?????

Here's an example of a BYU coed clearly dressing like a slut:

Oh, man, she is just asking for some pimple-faced dude to masturbate over her image.

I find the phrase walking pornography to be a revolting combination of English words. I do not think it should be applied to anybody I see walking about, even if there might be some sort of reason for a few to cover up a bit more.

Maybe Oaks is just a walking erection.

Maybe Dallin Oaks sees the girls and women as 'walking porn' because when he sees them he has to run into the back room and wrestle to tame his White Salamander?

Maybe your just a sick twisted individual for bringing up the subject in the first place? Not saying its true , but a possibility.

We all know that when a lady says no, she really means yes.

When (and if) You quote a classic, do it precisely, please!

Asked "What's the difference between a diplomat and a lady?" the reply came:

If a diplomat says, "yes," he means "Maybe."
If a diplomat says, "Maybe," he means "No."
If a diplomat says, "No," he's no diplomat.

But on the other hand,

If a lady says, "No," she means "Maybe."
If a lady says, "Maybe," she means "Yes."
If a lady says, "Yes," she's no lady.

This is probably the problem.
