Movies, internet, mixed beach and pool
Once again, we come back to the internet and the Hollywood 'fun' and entertainment culture.
We women have to be honest for a moment, and to try and understand where our men are coming from. Men's sexual desire is completely different from women's. Things that don't get women so excited, or that women don't even noticed, can have an absolutely massive impact on men.
We have to ask ourselves some really touch questions:
What am I really doing to myself, and to the men in my life, when I insist we go to a mixed beach or swimming pool?
Why am I encouraging my family to watch Bay Watch (or whatever the latest underdressed ladies program is these days?)
Why am I taking my husband shopping, when it just bores him stupid and / or exposes him to the supermodel in the next cubicle who's doing a much better job of wearing my dress?
Why am I chatting to male friends on Facebook? Would I really want my husband making the sort of comments to other women that some of these men are making to me?
Why am I bringing magazines with nearly naked women on the front page (and on every other page) into my house?
Why am I letting my girls have 'boy' friends (or vice-versa)?
Why am I letting my kids watch movies that promote that sort of behaviour?
Why am I watching those movies myself?
And then, there's those other questions we need to ask ourselves:
• What am I willing to change, to protect the men in my life from making some terrible mistakes that could devastate them, spiritually (and otherwise...)?
• How much do I want G-d's blessing in my home and in my life?
• How much of a price am I willing to pay for unwarranted male attention?
• How much do I want to be able to really connect to the people in my life again, and to myself, and to G-d?
