Question about Modesty (Ice Skating)

[Bruised_Reed]

What kind of boots and blades do you use? This can make all the difference with jumps, etc.

If you are a creative type have some fun “designing” your dresses. Perhaps at some point you will have the opportunity to have a custom dress made.

Your passion for skating can take you many places. I enjoyed choreography more than skating itself.

My skates are still on the “low end” because I’m still in lower levels of lessons. They are Riedell 117s…

Well, if you will allow me to compare skating to running in the sense that the shorts we use for track and cross country are rather small, I would say just don’t make the costume purposefully immodest. Most girls schools in my area use the same small-ish shorts, however there is one school that uses bikini-style bottoms in the running uniforms. At their level, the shorts don’t create enough drag to hinder their performance greatly (though I would say differently is they were nationally-ranked, but they don’t even come close in league). Choose an outfit that doesn’t prevent you from safely and effectively performing your routine, that fits in the program, but that does not take unnecessary risks (low-cut neck, particularly tight or small in certain areas). Then you should be fine.

This is a bit too late but i just have to say this is one modest look below.

I also never understood why skin colored tights were worn in the first place when it’s freezing on the ice.The link above is something every skater should think about, getting rid of skin color tights and wearing colored tights like in the video makes it look perfectly fine.

Ive never really thought about the female ice skaters outfits before reading this, although I do understand the concern. I have watched ice skating many times, I find it impressive and amazing the things some people can do on skates, I can barely stand up on them!

I dont think the outfits are sexual in nature though, sure the dresses are very short, but its not like they are wearing thongs underneath either, most of them, just looks like normal underwear to me…and Ive never seen anything overly revealing in any of their outfits either…thats just the outfit 99% of them wear, I highly doubt any guy is out there watching ice skating just to see this kind of thing though, if they want to see that kind of thing, there are much better avenues for them to go (online, magazines, videos, etc).

Plus, we have to keep in mind, God created male and female bodies to be things of great beauty, NOT something to be covered up and considered shameful and ‘dirty’…that is Satan telling us that, to make us think Gods creation is nasty or dirty and we should not be looking at it. That is dangerous thinking imo. Unfortunately modern society views the body as something to be covered up, even in great works of art…!!! LOL, Ive even seen certain places censoring the statue of David!!..covering their childrens eyes, demanding the statue have something to cover the genitals, now that is absolutely wrong imo…That is satan, no 2 ways about it!

If you’re saying not sexual then you have never watched figure skating before, plus i used to skate myself sooo i know.

I can’t believe my eyes, you actually think guys don’t watch ice skating, ummm yes they do and for the wrong reasons.I know because most of my siblings and cousins or bf’s friends are boys.

“Unfortunately modern society views the body as something to be covered up”

Are you talking about the 19th century because i’m kind of confused

Aaanyways, all the skater in the video did was cover the bottom part which is quite normal and the right thing to do when you’re cold.It’s not like she covers her entire body, just the important parts.

Im a guy and can honestly say I never heard of anyone watching figure skating for this purpose, I mean, if a guy wants to see something pornographic, there is much better routes, (online). I would not be that interested in just seeing an ice skater with what appears to be just underwear on and a short dress…thats not really sexual imo.

I know modern culture sees the human body as something to be covered up, this is one area Satan has succeeded.

Guys will watch anything arousing and again, what’s with the 19th century attitude?
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but being all covered up is something of the past if you did some research.Nowadays there’s a lot of nudity on both television alone so i don’t know why you say such odd things.

There’s something very creepy about that too, it’s like you’re saying covering my butt is Satin’s work.

Wow. Old thread.

I have had lustful thoughts while watching ice skating on television.

Seriously?

Yep. This in spades. It is a turn-off, if anything.

Even if the bolded part were true, ice skating probably doesn’t fit the bill as “arousing” for 95% of dudes out there. Except banned Alan.

Anyway, he isn’t saying covering your butt is Satin’s [sic] work, if I’m reading it right, he is basically saying use the right tool for the job. Hockey pants aren’t going to work in figure skating any more than these sleazy dresses are going to work in hockey.

 

[Katherine_chow]

You’re right, though i know there are plenty of guys like Alan, you can trust me, not that every guy is like that. .Most guys hide it but at least Aalan was honest about it.

Here are some examples of guys like him, forgive me if it’s a little too much.

That’s one reason why i started to watch figure skating alone so i don’t have to hear butt or crotch remarks and which looks the best, yuck, it makes me feel sooo uncomfortable as well :sad_yes:

I think he didn’t read all of my comment.There’s a video i posted where the skater isn’t wearing skin colored tights with a dress.As you can see it doesn’t matter how short and sleazy the dress is, the most important part is the intimate body parts are covered hence the colored tights.

That’s all they have to do, wear it like the skater in the video does and everthing looks fine.

 

[JSSD]

I think you’re fine as is anyone who wears “ice skating outfits.” I just don’t personally think it is a chastity or modesty issue to wear sports-appropriate clothes.

If guys like Alan are into that sort of thing, it is their sin, not yours.

 

[Katherine_chow]

I know, but has anyone ever thought why they made skaters wear skin colored tights in a winter sport where it’s freezing.No other winter sport does this, something just doesn’t add up.

Look how ridiculous this looks in this video and this is from a outdoor ice rink.

youtube.com/watch?v=8pQ89Lf34Vc&list=UUP5okMCGnazMApEsWuuD9iw

You can literally see how cold it is and it’s even snowing, yet she skates like it’s 80 degrees out there.My point is skin color tights or the nude fabric on dresses have nothing to do with ice skating costumes.

That’s why i say this sport needs to change desperately and be more modest like the beautiful girl Hwi Choi in the video.
