I'm feeling philosophical again...

[Whispersecret]

Okay, bear with me. I have a theory that I'd like to propose here.

Do you think that perhaps the human race has lost something valuable in the shift toward permissive clothing? Okay, now I know that sounds like a strange/stupid question, but I was seriously thinking about this the other day.

I wonder all the time if my husband still finds my body appealing. The way society is today, everywhere he looks he can see some young(er!) body--her pert little tits encased in a skimpy tank, her tight ass barely covered by shorts, etc. And even worse, he can compare. <pales>

If people still covered up most of their bodies in public (including on TV and in movies), my body would (hopefully) be the only one he saw naked or nearly so, which, I think, would make it seem pretty tasty.

Maybe I'm just being insecure. On the other hand, in the Arab countries where the women veil their faces, isn't that something along the same lines?

Whaddya think?

Not to over-simplify things, it doesn't matter where he gets his appetite as long as he comes home to eat.

For me there is a difference in seeing a goodlooking woman naked, on pics or on the TV, and to see the woman I care and love nude.

The women on tv and such I look at, and think the are nice looking. But when I can look at MY woman naked, that makes me feel completly different, because I know her and love her mind. And when I love her mind loving the rest of her follows. No matter if she doesn't look like model! (hopes this make any sense at all!)

I don't think you will get any men here to say that women should wear veils and long baggy clothes. If you do, it would be hypocritical of them considering the nature of this website. Maybe if you posted this question on the Dr. Laura page you would get the strict moralistic view. In my opinion the answer is somewhere in the middle. I have been married for 20 years and will always find my wife's body appealing. That is part of the love and commitment that comes with marriage, I choose to fulfill my physical needs at home. Do I find other women attractive? Of course, I'm not dead.

I make the reality in my life and I choose to love one woman. Fantasy is not real but it can be used to heighten the pleasure of reality.

Hey, I'm no hunk either! I'm glad my wife still wants me. LOL

Whisper...

Interesting point to ponder.
I just took a class on this stuff and we learned about an author wrote did a lot of research regarding "erongenous zones."

What he found was that the place on a persons (particularly on women) body that arouses most is one that goes into seclusion for a number of years, and that is suddenly revealed to us again.

For example... years ago, during Victorian eras, etc.... showing your ankles... totally taboo, but then we showed them again an oooh was it sexy. The stomach ..now that of course in interesting as well b/c we had it covered, and then in the thirties exposed it, and then recovered it, and then brought out lots o bikinis in the 60s and 70s and now it is a HUGE fashion in daily wear in our current century.

So I guess what I am trying to say here (finally Jade.. ugh!!) is that sometimes we cover... sometimes we don't... but it is the WOMAN that makes them sexy, not how much they are showing.

In addition to that... just b/c you can't see the skin... doesn't mean you can't see the shape of what is under the fabric... AND that the imagination tends to be way the hell more powerful than reality so very often (does it not?)

Well, that is my take... hope it wasn't too boring!

(btw... loved your writers resource contribution about the quotes!!)

Shy guy and Chef, good good points. Thanks!

High Peaks, I wasn't proposing an upheaval of the fashion industry! <laughs> That's ridiculous. And I don't expect people, especially men, to proclaim a wish for baggy clothes.

What I wanted was for people to think about clothing and how it affects human behavior and desire. As for as the morality issue, I'm sure there are plenty of primly dressed women who behave immorally.

Jade -- Yes, I was aware of the gradual revealing of body parts. However, we're rapidly running out of parts, aren't we! I for one won't be running around naked anytime soon.

And thanks for reading my Quotation Lecture! Did you take the test? Heh heh.

Whisper.. hey girl!!

Yes, most people are aware of the gradual revealing of body parts.. I think I basically must have just goofed on my wording but what I was trying to get across was not the gradual revealing but that we reveal and then take away and then reveal again in a continuous pattern.

However, that is simply what I learned in class..... I am actually more on your side.... that there doesn't seem to be much more to take away!!! (espescially after the infamous jennifer lopez gown!!)

Ps: didn't take the test...
