People don’t realize how sex is such a part of how these bodies we occupy are wired. My wife used to work with severely retarded kids (up to 18 years old) and there were some interesting events regarding the 15-18 year olds. One girl lifted up her shirt/skirt and one of the 17 year old boys only knew to start shaking his leg like Thumper. Stuff like that. It is very revealing about the nature of the human body

I see us as merely occupying this biological machine we call the human body, but so much of it is hard wired similarly to animal instincts. It is why the bible admonishes us to control it. This means that, yes, it is inappropriate for women - even Christian women - to dress “titilatingly”.

My wife likes to remind me that if they catch me looking, they got what they wanted.

The bible contrasts the spirit with the flesh in many places. One example:

For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. Galatians 5: 17

While it is up for philosophical/theological debate, I agree that we are spiritual beings in an earthly human body rather than biological machines with a spiritual component.
