Of course the LDS woman was in the wrong by wearing such a skimpy bathing suit. She should have known better. The modest idea is in the Bible. It is not just a church thing. Men are rather weak individuals, very much given to visual beauty and lust. Women need to understand male urges and dress accordingly, either to entice or subdue the urge in the male. The LDS woman was dressed to entice and not subdue the urge.

In the catholic faith, it is not the temptation that is wrong. To have temptations is completely natural. But one should not act on the temptation. With the skimpy bathing suit, it would be quite natural to to tempted and to have lustful thoughts. Women should understand make weaknessess and follow the advice of Saint Paul.

Also, when a male sees a beautiful female, he should thank god for creating such beauty but leave out the lust. I would have looked at the sexy female in the skimpy bathing suit and thanked god for creating such beauty with perhaps a tinge of lust. In the end, females should wear modest bathing suits. Why give the male a sexual urge if she knows that he should not act on it?

These are some great pointers, why me. Another good idea is to have a hymn ready to go in your mind. I believe it was Boyd K. Packer who gave us this wise piece of advice. Whenever those wicked thoughts pop into your head, whether brought on by a scantily clad seductress or by other means, begin humming the hymn silently in your mind. Soon those filthy thoughts are replaced by the comforting purity of the gospel. This is a great strategy for dodging the fiery darts of the adversary.

I seriously doubt that the sexual urge would have been that much less even if she were in a modest bathing suit.

Hell, I say we go back to the time when a woman showing her ankle was considered porn!! The middle east has the right idea. Lets get the burka's out and cover them temptresses up!!

I think it's the woman and not the bathing suit. I'm sure that there are plenty of women in the OP's ward that if he saw them in a thong he would lose his appetite for power, sex and food. Like they say in the movies - that's a rap".

I don't find skimpy bathing suits attractive. It's what's inside that counts.

I agree. In fact, if I were there, I'd have encouraged her to just get rid of the bathing suit altogether.

LOL! Skimpy bathing suits just aren't that sexy on the hanger, are they? But once that attractive body slips into them, watch out!

KA - Sexy even in sackcloth.

Don't discount the sex appeal of a good sackcloth garment. Creates such a division between beauty of wearer and the wear itself that the wearer shines brighter in comparison.
