Yeah, Gordon, the way some females dress is a problem isn’t it?

I work in an office in a prominent part of the CBD of a country town with glass walls on 2 sides. There is a lot of foot traffic outside our office and I have no doubt the local “fashion” at the moment is for females to wear singlets or t shirts with plunging necklines and the shortest and tightest of hotpants. Not much left to the imagination and it is difficult for any male not to glance, even just for a second.

Our Priest has said it is not wrong to admire the beauty of God’s creations, but as it has already been mentioned, to stare and ogle or entertain lustful thoughts is not on, and is a sin.

It also seems that the level of immodest dress is progressively worse with younger females, which I think is a shame. I also think it is a bigger shame for mothers to allow or consent to their daughters dressing in this way, which really just makes them look like hookers.

Breasts can be symbolic of spiritual nourishment. Again, breasts are sometimes used in the bible to denote something sacred.

Imagine one of those women was Our Lady, the Holy Virgin. Would you stare and “admire” her breasts?

Breasts are for babies. Keep your eyes to yourself.
 
Some responses on this thread have converted the OP’s question of looking into one of staring or ogling. I understood looking to be more like noticing than ogling.

Staring is creepy. Noticing is natural and uncreepy. I looked at the picture of the big guy and noticed that he has a good chest and huge arms. Was that creepy?

Is it sinful to look at the breasts of young ladies while shopping. I do it more out of habit than anything else. No lustful thoughts or sexual arousal, just the thought of young breasts. Breasts, as in the Song of Songs, can be a sacred image.

Please don’t use the Song of Songs to justify your lust. That was written about one’s WIFE, not random girls in the mall.

So you’ve been looking at young ladies’ breasts while at the mall and have chosen to post it on the internet for all to see?

Is this a cry for help before you do something illegal?

Is there someone we need to contact for you?
 
Clearly making a habit of settling the eyes upon the assets of a young lady, whether or not for the purpose of sexual gratification, objectifies her.

Objectifying a person reduces, in one’s mind, the appreciation of that person as a living, breathing, thinking, feeling human being. They become ‘less’ as a result.

That is not part of how God asks us to behave.

Remember that despite your protestations of only looking for the aesthetic value of what you’re looking at, it’s still objectification.

It’s very different from passing a stranger in the street and recognising beauty but moving on. These ladies are NOT pieces of artwork placed their for your personal edification.

DO NOT STARE. It IS rude and you probably ARE sinning as a result, since you’re probably coveting the image of the ‘beauty’ you think you are perceiving.
 
Let’s not get carried away here.

It is a biological reality that men are drawn to look at the anatomy of females. It’s how we find mates.

That doesn’t turn off like a light switch, when you become a Christian.

Lust on the other hand is a sin, and it must be understood in it’s proper context.

Looking at a beautiful woman and having feelings of desire for her, is part of our natural make up. It is not sinful.

One thing I have always struggled with is lust, and I am sure I am not the only one. I talk often to my confessor about this, and of course love the thrill of conquering the sin of lust. One thing that has helped me immensely is to always give it back to God. Stop thinking about the woman and start thinking about God for making such a beautiful woman. It has actually become a common thing for my friends and I to say “Praise God!” when we see beautiful women. For me, it’s very powerful to give it back to God. To my friends, well, most of them are lost souls that have had a seed planted in that saying and hopefully will return to God’s graces. In due time.

Women are beautiful. They are art designed by God. Look at them. When it starts becoming “ohhh man she is so hot. I would love to …” that is when it crosses the line, in my opinion.

Praise God for beautiful women and their form!

Men stare at women’s chests even when they are wearing full covering tops. It’s rude. It’s crass.

It is but so are fashions that fail to respect the wearer and the other people, especially those that are designed to draw improper looks. Not saying this to wage a gender war but it would be wrong to omit part of the truth.
 
Sigh. I’m on my way to church, where a lot of women practically push their semi-exposed breasts into other folks’ faces. This is South Florida and this stuff just never stops. It’s a great big exposition of breasts on display, thighs, and buttocks, all year long.

To the OP: you better avert your eyes, dude. That’s what a lot of us do. Stare at the floor, at the ceeling, stare at the sky, whatever. Flee temptation, and you will find your inner peace that way.

Agreed.

Just dont do it. And dont give yourself any excuse. Look at a woman’s eyes, or her hair. But keep your sees above her neck.
 
I am intrigued that the OP’s concern is about staring ‘while shopping’, and not ‘while drinking’ or ‘at a party’ or even ‘on the train’. What is it about shopping that triggers this desire?
 
“There’s no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthier.” This is a typical response from one of many studies that makes this claim (just Google it).

I strongly suspect this guy would not notice. To spend this much time in the gym and this time aquiring and taking steriods, I think he’s probably wayyyy to busy oogling himself to be concerned with others.

Why do you assume he acquires and takes steroids?

I have 2 brothers-in-law who are weight lifters who have very similar builds to this guy, and neither one takes steroids.

One of many National Enquirer pervert studies? Creepy. There’s no question.
