On the general question answers, the first answer by a 19 year old says "isn't" and in context looks like it should say "is". It changes the meaning and for you to post it seems like you meant "is". This is the way it is listed below. What you look like isn't important when it comes to keeping sacred what God made sacred. Merilee I think you may have a typo.

Yes, I know the standard Christian answers to this one, and I agree with them, but a girl's experience with sexuality, temptation and lust are different, so I am curious from a Christian guy's perspective: Why bother fighting for purity? Why not indulge lust- what are the consequences and the hidden costs (I mean, apart from the physical risks, which may be avoided)? A question for the guys out there.

I am so excited to see such a place for Christian young people to be able to read about real ideas, thoughts, concerns, etc. Since I work in a large public school system (the largest in the nation as a matter of fact), there is often no place for young people to turn for real honest Christian guidance. It's considered the "wrong thing" - as if religion is wrong or needs to be withdrawn from the lives of our young people. I have begun blogging to express my own ideas, also hoping that anything I put out there will provide someone with a place to continue with their walk. I have added your site in to my blog - I think it's an awesome resource for people to step it up! Hi.

I am so glad that the women in your family dress modestly, and I too do the same for my family. I understand the struggle that you and lots of Christian guys out there are going through....You guys are trying to stay pure in your thoughts and hearts, and turn away from lust. And just like you said, one can only look at the floor or celling to avoid the lustful advertisements that are everywhere! I too, wish that women would be more sensitive in the way they dress. My younger brothers are really disappointed as well, they have to either look at the floor, the celling, or the other way to avoid the sinful stuff out there. But now, they can't even look at the celling! When we go into Wal-mart, the first thing one sees is the television up in the celling, and I am upset at the immodesty of the women on there! So thank you for striving to please God in where you look! Ben R.: I just wanted to comment on what you said.

It's such an important topic that always seems hazy. I think it's great to be able to see the questions and answers by teens themselves! thanks again! Thanks so much for doing this!

I just wanted to say that this is a really awesome idea and thank you to all who were apart of it. Now that I have read the results, I think twice about what I wear and as to whether it will be a stumbling block for guys. Thanks again!
