Some men are actually turned on when you cover most of your body, because they like to imagine what you're covering up. Some men are disgusted when you don't cover up. No matter how we dress, *somebody* will always find it attractive. As you wrote, giving us the burden of preventing lust is wrong and pointless. There will always be lust from somebody.Robinhttp://lilac-mist.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-63906341421846437512013-11-03T14:19:42.847-05:002013-11-03T14:19:42.847-05:00thank you!

I have a lot of non christian friends who don't understand modesty and think it is demeaning to women, so I have had a lot of motivation to think about this!Carolynnhttp://kitty-ears.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-31214073216018110662013-10-31T15:04:04.880-04:002013-10-31T15:04:04.880-04:00Wow, this is really well written, Carolyn.

I've often struggled to explain/express/articulate what modesty is and what it isn't to others and usually come up with something as riveting as, "Um, it's like, you know, so God…Jesus on the cross, but like, not like you can't be fashionable, it's just, uhhhh..."

However, I do believe that I try to remian modest as well in respect for my brothers in Christ so that I am not a stumbling block for them. Yes, they can still stumbles by lusting after the way my hair blows, or shoulders look, or my smile, but I at least try to do what I can to help them out some :-)<br />xoxoAshley D.

While I understand what they're saying, and I believe part of dressing modestly is respecting men's struggle, it is not burden that should be placed on us. It should be about the fact that our body is the temple of God, and we should glorify him through everything we say and do.Michelle Bellamynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-41060982748012236492013-10-27T16:28:28.597-04:002013-10-27T16:28:28.597-04:00hehee, yay!
