Clever! Catching them with their pants down (metaphorically) without them knowing you are watching.
I am sure it does. Does the additional "sifting" impede your analysis?Applying this in a Christian context requires more sifting than a secular site. Controversial subjects and politics offer greater insight for certain traits. ;-)

Two single women think watching guys with their pants down is funny.
Should I be angry?? Or amused?
???????John 11:35 Jesus wept. - Bible Hub
John 11:35 Jesus wept.
(35) Jesus wept.--The word is different from that which is used to express weeping in John 11:33; but this latter is used of our Lord in Luke 19:41.The present word means not the cry of lamentation nor the wail of excessive grief, but the calm shedding of tears.
I have read some of those "50 Shades" responses and they are overwhelmingly condemning. It was like they were completely caught off guard by Christian women being interested in that stuff. (erotic literature or film) It was known in the secular world that "romance novels" sold well for a while. (until they became too formulaic)
The idea of married Christian women wanting to become aroused by someone OTHER than their husband; (and make no mistake, Ms James stated she wanted women to be driven mad with arousal from her books) or even worse, single Christian women getting worked up with no spouse to relieve that, was beyond incomprehensible for them.
It shattered their paper mache' world view that had men as the porn consuming lust filled perverts that needed the non sexual women in their lives to keep them on the straight and narrow.
They had a very long history on their side.They have an unrealistic notion about women as sexless entities that I’ve never encountered.
I am sure it does. Does the additional "sifting" impede your analysis?
Agreed. One need only to see the stories you find from doing a search on "Purity Culture Fail" to see the damage inflicted on many men and women. (moreso women imo)They had a regimented ideology about physical intimacy I don’t embrace. Its very repressive and constricts your natural expression and response. It divorces the mind and heart and you operate from your head instead.
But even though much of Christendom has realized the facts, they have not had the centuries to develop theologies and responses to this new reality.
The story of Onan really does NOT work to condemn female self-relief.
No seed to spill on the ground.
If you are coming from their mindset, the reality was just unthinkable to them. Of course they wanted a scapegoat because it allowed them to keep their paper mache' fantasy of sexless women in place.James forced them to face what women were doing. And even then, they blamed her until the data proved otherwise. They wanted a scapegoat.
That is even more farfetched than their previous ideas.They’ve tied Onan to fornication instead. Along with lust. That’s the angle they’ve taken.

Which is where Purity Culture fell down. No practice. Even having a crush was considered "giving part of your heart away" that could never be retrieved.I told my daughter the truth. Teens are practicing on one another.
But I do not know why they would even WANT to hang on to that lie.
Maybe. But can you trick or bribe them into not having desires? Urge for release?I think think you can trick or bribe people into abstinence.

I think think you can trick or bribe people into abstinence. It doesn’t work. But that’s something that begins at home.

You can SCARE some them into that. But not most.
