Vote - Are Women's Beach Volleyball Uniforms Too Sexy?
Mental Recession ^

Posted on 08/04/2012 9:56:20 AM PDT by rustyweiss74

There is a controversy brewing at the London Olympics and it doesn't involve judges, steroids, or tanking matches (we're looking at you Badminton) - it involves bikinis.

Critics are claiming that not only are the women's beach volleyball uniforms too sexy, but that photographers seem to be focusing an inordinate number of their images on certain parts of the female anatomy.

Are the Olympics women's beach volleyball photos too sexy? That is the claim being made by some people who find that too many pictures of these female Olympians are filled with crotch shots and close-ups of women's derrieres in tight bikini bottoms, according to the Huffington Post just yesterday.

... Although female beach volleyball teams are no longer required to wear bikinis while competing in the Olympics, most of them chose to continue the tradition of skimpy two-piece swimsuits for the 2012 Olympics.

It should come as no surprise that the women's beach volleyball photos of competitors in bikinis come across as far sexier than photos of Olympians who chose to compete while fully clothed. While wearing a bikini, everything from hand signals to a congratulatory hug looks sexy. No one is blaming the women for being too sexy. The question is whether the photographers are gratuitously focusing on certain body parts or poses when they snap their photos.

So what do you think? Too sexy, too photographed, or not enough of either?

Hey, in the end, the only “opinion” that counts, is God's. Find out what that is and follow it, or regret, with great sorrow, will come. It's never worth it to defy Him, no matter what lies we tell ourselves. And He always knows what is best for all of us. Exploiting others for temporal pleasure is selfish and sinful. So is putting temptation before another. We often think, “Oh well, it doesn't really matter very much”, but someday very, very soon we will find out that it did.
