Jas 1:13 Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from God. For God is not tempted by evils, and He tempts no one.
Jas 1:14 But each one is tempted by his lusts, being drawn away and seduced by them.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And sin, when it is fully formed, brings forth death.
Come out from the world, and its attractions, do not put yourselves in harms way but joining them in their short lived pleasures, we are called to guard out hearts at all cost, and putting yourself in these situations can cause you to fall and be a poor witness for Christ and purity, again your behavior matters to God, and He gives you a way of escape from all temptation, but you must have come to a saving faith through repentance and faith first, then these vain attractions will have no influence in your life.
Stand against the world and all it vain attractions, you wont be popular, but being a real Christian is far from being a popularity contest, as Jesus said you will be hated for His sake, BUT you must endure to the end to be saved!
