Basilisa Marie Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't think talking about tight pants is going to do any good, because most guys don't wear tight pants and "nice calves" stopped being a huge turn on for women a few centuries ago. Unless you're talking about dudes who have a really nice butt. Because then the obvious solution is kilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLordsSouljah Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I have five brothers, but I don't appreciate it when they walk around in anything less than a singlet - even on the hottest of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestertonian Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I wish the reason why I wore shirts in public was to keep women's lust in check. Edited April 30, 2013 by Chestertonian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim111 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think the modesty threads attained consciousness and the result is this guy. I have had concerns about this for a long time, I just could not find any teachings to affirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmenchristi Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 ... stripped to the waste, or in very tight pantaloons or in very scanty bathing suits. ... They may also be an occasion of sin (in thought or desire) for our neighbor." Either I am an wierdo, or the Canadian bishops do not know the effect that a man in any of the above situations would provoke for a woman... the only temptation of thought or desire that it causes me is to throw him a towel and tell him to cover up because I don't want to see that stuff. Then again, I may not be normal :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-fish Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Does this mean that all crucifixes will now wear a t-shirt? I'd guess Jesus would wear one saying "Eat my shorts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-fish Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I would say that in a normal, public, everyday context, men should not be running around shirtless or wearing pants that are excessively tight. That's the only reason I go to the Ballet. I love the Nutcracker and Don Juan. Btw, i'm a femina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one thing that made me reconsider. However just as the church allows a women to expose he breast when feeding her child. I would argue that Jesus's sickly and abused body prevents it form being a temptation to lust. Am I right ladies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_nine Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 isn't some of the greatest art that was sponsored by the Catholic church chock full of naked folk? I think it's a sad commentary that, implied in this debate, we can't look at the human body and see it as something beautiful without drooling over said person. Does appreciation automatically = lust? I am after all just a liberal dope-sucking communist hippie so plz ignore me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nudity in art is fine. In fact some of the very best art ever produced features nudity. But nudity is not appropriate in an everyday context. Very different concepts.

T-fish Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Just make sure your "feet" are covered. I doubt anyone will get that. You can't just go by what some Bishop says. They are just humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that Jesus's sickly and abused body prevents it form being a temptation to lust. Am I right ladies? You are right. On the other hand, "art" can be created to deliberately incite lust. Cf. the crucifix of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Or this: http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/mary-magdalene-in-the-cave-jules-joseph-lefebvre-.jpg "Mary Magdalene in the Cave"? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
