My response:

The only thing this might conflict with Christianity on is temptation. A married man desiring a woman even just in feelings or thoughts commits a sin. We know some of the common triggers of sexual temptation, so a girl trying to be sexy would be engaged in doing something that can lead others to sin. She would be like a stumbling block in other words.

If the person reacting to the girl had a modicum of self control, it wouldn't matter how sexually provocative the woman's dress is. He could manage himself and avoid sinning by engaging his own self control.

Who says there's anything wrong with it to begin with?
Make me wonder why people can't mind their own business - if Mary across the street looks sexy, why does that bother someone else? Jealousy maybe I guess.
Besides, what one finds sexy another might - many times a person can't put their finger on why they find person X sexy, but they just do. And a lot of the times it's either nothing physical on not totally physical.

Please remember that the issue isn't having sex and with whom, but being or feeling sexy.

Being sexy can tempt others to sin, in thought is not in act.

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
(Matthew 5:28 ESV)

The one who tempts someone to sin is just as guilty as the one who sins.

Not sure I agree with that, tempting someone can be a test.

Oh and Jesus says Matt 5.28 "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

Have a look at this picture


That girl is in my eyes cute and sexy. She certainly is tempting. I'd like to go out with her, maybe have a romantic relationship and yes, I would like to do the beast with two backs with her.
According to that line of yours, she is guilty of doing something bad, because I feel temptation when I look at her. Should she feel guilty, be wracked with guilt simply for being a cute and sexy woman? Should she change her appearance?

Lusting is not the same as coveting!

If you look at the King James version, at Romans 7:7 of the bible it says that listing is covetousness. What is being covetous? We can see the secular translation here.

covetous
[kuhv-i-tuh s]
adjective
1.
inordinately or wrongly desirous of wealth or possessions; greedy.
2.
eagerly desirous.

Where is it written there "sexual fantasy" or "sexual desire"

I believe we can all translate the biblical word for lust as a very intense, or uncontrollable desire (ex: being willing to rape someone for pleasure).

You might say that the KJV's (King James Version's) interpretation of lust is wrong, as other versions of the bible (ex: NIV) say nothing about lust in Romans 7:7. To that I respond: please read this article.

For more info about lust not being sexual desire, fantasy, or looks, although I must warn you there are/is sexual photo/s in there, if you don't want to damage your conscience, DON'T GO I'll copy paste the whole thing, but if you do want to, go to:

"Sexy" as you put it is a wrong word. Girls are beautiful. For us, followers of Christ, modesty is a virtue.

Is being beautiful something to be ashamed of? No.

Is being beautiful something to show to all? No.

A married couple both explore the fruits of God's gift and it is for them two only. A couple should not want third person to participate. Pornography is a great evil, you know.

So your wife, should not seek other men to admire her looks and you should not seek other girls to admire your looks. Wouldn't you feel jelous if she did that to you? It would upset me, had my wife do that. We would have to talk.

Would my wife appreciate me flirting with other girls, when I'm married to her? I hope not.

So keep in mind (or research): modesty, virtue, the Sacrament of Marriage or Holy Martimony.

From the OP:

What's Wrong with Being Sexy?

It hinders my ability to create long lasting, close friendships with those jealous of me for being it.
