“I am a red blooded, fully functional, American man, who desires to have his thoughts and words be acceptable to God. I have been happily married for 28 years.

That our society drenches every inch of media in sexually explicit advertising is a source of much temptation, sadness and concern for this man. Facing that sort of issue with Christian sisters in a church setting is most grievous. I believe the phrase ‘long, loose and lots of it’ should be the motto of Christian women’s apparel. ...
Before knowing her husband, my bride had no idea of how men think, or how easily stimulated they are. I hope my candor may be of some value to Christian sisters who are trying to live holy lives. I try to tell young ladies that I can influence for good, that the kind of fish you catch depends on what you bait your hook with, and where you cast your line. If you can’t catch a man in church with a modest dress on, you don’t want him anyway!”

Please go to Saudi Arabia, or stop trying to be the fashion gestapo, okay? Not everyone wants to be wearing a curtain twenty-four seven, especially when they stuff to f***ing do. Personally, however, I would love to wear something that is long, loose, and lots of it, but I'm male, so it would be a little strange...So, another position where I am "pro-choice".

Can someone please take grandpa back to the retirement home?
I wouldn't blame men--or women--for being distracted by super-short skirts and shorts, corset tops, the kinds of things that are explicitly meant to be sexy most of the time. But this guy seems to be after the burqa, seriously.
Some of the areas of complaint on that list... one-piece bathing suits! If you can't look at a woman in a one-piece without going there, maybe you need to stop going to the pool. And low-rise jeans, even with a long t-shirt so that nothing *is* exposed, "suggest" a midriff? I would think that having both shoulders and hips ought to suggest a midriff someplace in the middle there. Shallow v-necks are a problem because they *point* to the breasts? Seriously?
You might as well say that women shouldn't be allowed to leave the house because just by being female, a man has to imagine all the especially female parts of her anatomy, and that will drive him to sin. Hell, that probably would happen. Men who see women in jeans all the time don't generally think there's anything in the least bit sexy about jeans as a general clothing item. Men who saw nothing but women in calf-length skirts would soon start fetishizing ankles again, I'm quite sure, and on from there...

This is all kinds of disturbing.

Yeah - and underneath it should be sheer, tight and not much of it...
Perv.

Mrs Smith caught me with a bear trap baited with jeans and a scruffy tshirt. And I've never looked back.
The guys here get almost as excited by sheer, tight, revealing (continued page 94) ...women's clothes as the RR women do about fictional characters.
And they think teh gays have 'an agenda'...
This is one of those creeps who won't have sex with the lights on in case he might see his wife naked. This falls in the "don't look if it bothers you because it doesn't bother me" catergory. And I think God has more important things with disease, famine, and war to worry about than whether a woman is showing a little leg or cleavage.
Only a matter of time before this guy goes on a serial killing spree.
Rather than trying to make women dress how you want so they don't arouse your lust, why not try plucking out your eyes if they offend you? Or just wear dark glasses so you can't see them and don't get a boner.
"Before knowing her husband, my bride had no idea of how men think, or how easily stimulated they are."
Really? Are you sure? Women are pretty damn sneaky. Your wife may LET you think that you run shit when you actually don't. You may just be her puppet and you don't even know it.
Bwahahahahaha!!!!
Somebody should start making the medieval chemise cagoule: "a heavy nightdress with a suitably placed hole through which the husband could impregnate his wife while avoiding any other contact."
OK, so it's a niche market item...
...long, loose and lots of it’...
I swear to you, for a second I thought he was referring to Christian p***y.
Survey of Christian Men on the Subject of Women's Clothing
The results of the survey of Christian men on the subject of women's clothing is that about 60% of Christian men wear it under their bad suits and loud neckties.
He probably cries and prays for forgiveness after sex. And is it just me, or does he speak of himself in the first, seceond, AND third person?
"Before knowing her husband, my bride had no idea of how men think, or how easily stimulated they are."
That happens when you order from the overnight catalog.
I have been married for 28 years. She's grown unnattractive to me, and it kills me to see these nubile young pieces of ass walking around when I know I can't have them. My youth is gone, and I regret ever marrying.
Fixed.
Ah you forget I speak "fundie"
I am a red blooded fully functional american man compensating for something hitherto unknown but probably awkward involving genitalia that means that my 28 years of happy marriage may not last long as I am unwilling to admit I have a problem and so have taken to clothing my wife in what apparently is a tent so that I can blame the tent for not making her sexy.
We caught a man with a modest dress on in our church once. It was easy; when he was running down the aisle, his high-heeled pumps got caught in the hemline of his church. (Funny as heck when his wig flew off.)
We had much more difficulty catching the streaker who ran naked through the church last Sunday. But, finally, Sister Beulah grabbed him by the organ.
I agree with his clothing motto. Not out of modesty, but because tight clothes are uncomfortable, and my weight tends to fluctuate.
Frankly, I think a woman who's covered up is sexier because she leaves more to the imagination... ;)
I sleep fully clothed and in winter time I keep my shoes on too. When we were first wed this was the only way I could keep the lustful advances of my DH at bay.
These days I make him sleep in a separate room.
One day I hope to be able to get him to sleep in a separate house in Jesus name.
Yes, and then grocery stores should conceal most of their food so you don't get hungry, and boat dealerships should put all their wares inside so you aren't tempted to stop and look, and...
Of course, my metaphor isn't quite right, because we women aren't "selling" anything, just fucking getting dressed!
I'll bet this guy thinks Islam is a horrible religion, too, and cites women in burkas as a reason why.
@ Freako: It reminded me of the panels of men that occasionally comment on womens' fashion in Marie Claire magazine, only these men fear sexuality and hate women.
Run for your lives! It's MAN-BABY! You want to be in charge of women, yet you want them to police your reactions as well as theirs?
You do realise that what women wear, do or say has absolutely no effect on the actions of someone who already thinks they are public property? You make me sick.
Cheezus, the stench of entitlement is all over that website. Every bit of female anatomy is perceived as an advertisement for sex by these 'men' - the woman completely disappears, to be replaced by some abstract thing. That's the reason I don't date, and rarely go to nightclubs. (Yeah, I limit myself because of the patriarchy. W00t.) I hate that men feel entitled to my body just because it's there.
And hey, if you think this shit is only limited to fundies, read this. Then go and flame him in the comments.
"No one should take any action whereby he causes desires to be raised in another that cannot be righteously satisfied."
Really? Then you need to STFU and MYOB, since I really want to punch you in the face right now.
Yes, I totally agree. And men, stop wearing such nice expensive suits to church. What the hell are you trying to say, that money is more important than donating to your god? Women, look for the men wearing rags, they'll know how to treat you right and keep you from affording makeup, jewelry and all those other sexy vain material degradations!
.... now I feel all icky.... bleh!
"Submitted By: Grigori Yefimovich" That name is fucking badass, dude.
Hmm? Oh yeah, the fundie is dumb.
Is there any living human being that is not red blooded?
Sex sells. Why do you hate capitalism?
Perhaps Christian male apparel ought to be long, loose and lots of it, too.
Do you have any idea, still, of how women think, or how easily stimulated we are?
If you want to live holy lives, join a monastery or a convent.
"Before knowing her husband, my bride had no idea of how men think, or how easily stimulated they are."
- Your bride and her girlfriends are still laughing at how naive and gullible you are.

David J. 'Man's Mind' Pervo, is that you?!
This DJS Meter by Yaesu is good, if it reacted to that line alone.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
