Eyeballs

I'm so tired of being bombarded by sexual advertising. It's everywhere. Sex is used to advertise every product, with the lure of becoming more sexy, more attractive if you use this product. Some of the advertisements on tv today were considered pornography not so many years ago.

It's not just on tv, it seems to have spread to normal people too. Granted, living in a college town means that the latest trends will pop up early. I can't help but notice that it seems every female workout outfit seems to have some sort of sexual appealing feature. The loose shirts that look like they are about to fall off the shoulder, the tight spandex, is it really necessary? I'm at the gym to work out, to be healthy, and to take ease some stress from the day. I'm not there to get a date, nor am i looking for one. And the guys that are, most likely aren't the guys you want to be dating.

I think that men should be self controlled, disciplined, and should respect and cherish women as our sisters in Christ. And women should do the same, respecting men as brothers in Christ. Even if you don't take the Christian viewpoint, at least put some value in yourself. Guys are going to go after the girls dressed to seduce and expect to be "getting some." If you are advertising your body, that's what you're going to sell. If you are advertising your personality, the complete "you" package, then that's what men will see you as.

I don't think its understood how visual men are. We see things, are bombarded with sexual images, and told we are perverts for being so sexually charged all the time. Men need to control themselves. No exception. And we also need to start encouraging modesty. And ladies, cover up please. For us and for you.
