I generally agree. Ladies, yes we can and do control our thoughts and actions, but why make it more difficult for us and why send the wrong signals about yourselves?

I'm curious... do you object to men going topless at the beach, BC?

What is the "wrong" message?

What is wrong with thinking sexual thoughts?

Yeah, how can we control our thought with stuff like these at the beach?

Not at all. But the following hypocrisy on my part is fodder for discussion:

Touche.

Projecting oneself as an object.

What is wrong with thinking sexual thoughts?


Imho, nothing depending on their context. For example, do I dwell on sexual thoughts about someone other than my opposite sex spouse? That would be wrong.

For some reason, when you mentioned tools and bikinis, I thought that you were going to link to this video:

Gee, what an interesting colloquialism for "wife."

touché.

So, now that you've had a chance to reflect further on the potential hypocricy of your position, do you now feel the need to advocate with equal zeal that men should never take off their shirts in public, given the sexually-arousing-mental-imagry/objectification that public male nakedness will cause for women and gay men?

After all, why should you men make it more difficult for us and why send the wrong signals about yourselves, right?

I designed the title to catch your attention. Perhaps another legitimate matter for discussion here. by the way, I was tempted to include a couple of Adam and Eve videos for humor......

Perhaps this is the real reason why Adam and Eve couldn't have children and then the Fall changed Adam.

Can't be too careful on a board like this. But if I had said "wife", that would have let women off the hook.
