<<Do you find yourself sexually provoked to an unreasonable degree by a two-piece bathing suit that is well within the norm of acceptable beach attire?>> Well here we have an interesting phenomena, the beach. I see what you mean that situations and circustances, not to mention exceptions to any standard we would consider would make our endorsement problematic. <<Or are you accustomed to seeing women at the beach in bathing suits and so do not find the sight more than an occasional source of pleasure at viewing the attractive?>> I never said I don't find enjoyment in feasting my eyes on attractive things. It is easy for almost any woman to attract my attention if she makes an effort. I am way easy and it aint easy being easy when you are trying to live a decent life. Here we have the people watchers out enmass. They are pretending they aren't ogling one another while trying to get noticed at the same time. The key word here is attractive and what is attractive is the sexuality of the person being viewed. This is a little too raw for me and I ussually just try to mind my own bees wax playing with my kids in this situation. We are taking a bit of a turn here aren't we? I guess the relevancy is this would be that whether you go to a region where covering is extreme (head to toe, veils and all) or to one where there is only a breach cloth, the standard is viewed by the members of the culture as respectful of what is decent for member involvement. Doing less than the standard causes disequalibrium for the members. Where as, putting on slightly more goes relatively unnoticed. We generally recommend that when people go on an interview they arrive "dressed up" slightly more than than the typical worker for that environment. Dressing down would be considered disrespectful or undignified and could give a "bad" impression to the interviewer...no? I'm still for standards and yes endorsing legislation that defines them.
