I agree that Jason and Crystalina Evert would be good choices to host the show, particularly since they are closer in age to the show’s target audience.
As for Crystalina inspiring lust, well, I humbly submit that it’s the viewer’s responsibility to keep his own thoughts under control. Having known many women who have had a figure like she has, I think I can say that tight shirts are simply a fact of life at that size, like it or not. It’s not like she’s showing skin like some Hollywood starlet eager to be talked about in the tabloids.
That being said, I’ve noticed that some people tend to fall into scrupulosity in this area. As far as I know, it’s perfectly acceptable to for a man to find a woman sexually arousing, is it not? It’s perfectly okay to have a reaction of “Wow! She’s gorgeous!” or even “Gee, she’s…big.” It’s what you do after that initial reaction that matters; it’s whether or not you follow the initial impulse of physical attraction down Fantasy Road into the sin of lust.
Sometimes I wonder if some people here think it’s a sin just to be physically attracted to any woman, even your wife, and that all attractive women are to be shunned.
Or am I completely misunderstanding Church teaching on human sexuality?
