“Specifically how it warns us against all temptation? The lust of the flesh, etc?”

No offense taken. However, lust of the flesh does not require nudity. Perversion of thought is a weak or corrupted mind.

The vast, vast majority of rapes and sexual assaults are committed against fully clothe women. And no, they did not ask for it. I can look at beautiful women and admire her beauty without lusting after her. I can even go to a beach.

The temptation to me would be the perversion of thought. There are plenty of super famous church paintings (e.g. Sistine Chapel) and statues (Michelangelo’s 15th-century sculpture of David) with nudity in them, so I don’t believe nudity is the issue.

Thank you for your respectful answer. I appreciate it. I think we disagree on things but that’s ok. Merry Christmas.
