I like how you address things. Some cultural attitudes are different than our own and see some things as not sexual in nature. I like the fact that the church is adopting an attitude of acceptance while maintaining standards. I have only praise for this post. You are a genuine child of God,thanks brother. Ough!

I Love the post. I have always used the ...David, <br />I Love the post. I have always used the CAM approach regarding behavior. Context...Appropriateness... Mood. When considering any of these behaviors. In reading this post for all of what you have said and applying CAM, I agree, Except one thing. <br /> <br />16 year old seeing others naked and being naked and seen by other 16 year olds of the same gender would be appropriate in the context of dressing out for gym or sports as long as they did so in the right mood. Other contexts such as doing so such behavior alone would appear to crossing the line. In any event, deliberately arousing such feelings is dangerous. <br />I think you noted this as well. Many have questioned what does it mean to have sexual feelings towards another. I often counsel guys that we are not our bodie, we are stewards of our body, but sometimes it body reacts to things without our choosing the reaction. Recognizing this and not shaming ourselves out others for it, moving away from the potentially dangerous situation by changing the context, appropriateness, and mood, is often necessary to remaining faithful and developing strength to withstand temptation. In other words temptation is not sin... Is what we do with that temptation that counts. I think this post is needed and thanks for bringing it to the table.
