Re: images of women in body-building mags- DEUS

[Guest guest]

Honest question, coming from a " conservative " Canadian: Are there

numerous men casting lustful looks on half-naked women at the beaches

in Australia?

Actually, no, because I wanted to know what *Australians* themselves

believe go on in men's head. Why should I assume that those of a

somewhat different culture necessarily have the same perspective on a

naked or nearly naked body as the tendency might be in my culture?

It was a serious question, and I hope you understand my point here.

Best wishes,

Andy

I don't think my question was that complicated, Deus. :-) My point

in asking it was to challenge the assumption (or what seems to be the

assumption) that N. Americans are prudes for frowning on public

nudity. If it's to at least somewhat help avert lustfulness, then

it's not prudish - it's healthy.

I would think the women who've expressed distaste for the sex symbols

portrayed in muscle mags would be onside with me here.

I see. So it's lecherousness that's healthy, then?

Guys, come on! Please take this offline if you want to continue with

it. You're setting a tone here that the rest of us have clearly

stated that we don't want. We're here for inspiration and

information, not debate. If this was Survivor, we'd be ready to vote

you off the island!
