Women arent totally to blame here, its the society we live in forcing sex down our throats at every turn. I would love to see women respect themselves more. Leave some room for discovery and imagination ladies. Men are visual creatures and lusting is a huge hurdle. Its all about respect NOT whats popular....You want us to respect you then respect yourselves!! Im not a Dad or Married so i hold no real bias....maybe im "old fashion", regardless I personally am more turned on to a woman saves herself and body for her future spouse not parading it around for the rest of the world to see!!

i like..................

Most of the time it don't matter what a woman wears some men will lust after them, so men clean up your hearts and your heads. Women are beautiful and men should appreciate them not lust after them like some kind of beast. The evil one works were he can, we just shouldn't let him work.
hey wait it takes two to tangle, women also check out men in their skimpy swimsuits

This seems so silly to me. Look, if you're swimming, anything you wear is gonna get wet, and cling to you.

So there's really not much point arguing what to wear, cause if somebody wants to lust, they'll find something to lust after.

It really comes down to whether somebody believes in public swimming or not.

What do you expect God to say? I don't understand why you seem to think we need a divine revelation about something like this.

It's like asking God if it's okay to eat corn flakes. Why would you assume otherwise?

He's not being arrogant, he makes a super point. God gave us logic, minds, reasoning, and the Holy Spirit so that we don't have to have our hands held through everything we do. God didn't address every single thing we might do in our lives separately in the Bible.

futher more God isnt just stepping dirt to get around hell or anything like this hes true God he wants us to look inside and know right from wrong in everything we do... many places in the bible He says to first seek His kingdom and the only what he appoves of... this can be done only in studying the bible or praying....

Not sure what deceit has to do with swimming. But vanity is a matter of the heart, and one can be vain fully clothed.

Furthermore, it's not our job to judge whether other people are being vain or not. Just because some people use swimsuits to feed their vanity doesn't mean you have to.

I never said God wants us to live separately from the Bible, I said he didn't separate every single action we might do as humans and address them in the Bible. The point is, decency is simply a social idea. In some places, it's decent for men and women to be topless, or even for children to run around naked. It's not a sexual thing for them, that is simply what their culture is like. For us, most of the time, a bathing suit isn't a piece of clothing designed to elicit sexual things, it's designed for swimming. It's acceptable as decent.

1.) I personally don't care what people wear when they swim. The idea of nude beaches doesn't even really bother me, although I would never personally go nude to a beach.

2.) Lust is about the luster, not the object being lusted after. Don't blame attractive women for making you lust. Besides, guys will still lust even if a woman is fully clothed. If you can't handle seeing people swimming without lusting, then don't go.

3.) I love swimming!

what do you care about then
I care about children dying from hunger. I care about women being sold as sex slaves. I care about broken families, broken homes, and broken lives. I care about the poor and the oppressed. I care about peoples' hearts.

But when it comes to swimsuits.... it's just not that important. Like I said, if it causes you to lust, then either learn some self-control, or don't go places where people wear them.
