There is NO way possible that young men and women can dress in a way that it NOT sexually enticing. The reason for that is "happy hormones!" Unless we put the women in Burkhas and that wouldn't even work. Happy hormones have x-ray vision if you will. It is God telling them to procreate. God is also telling them to procreate WITHIN the bonds of marriage so don't think I believe that happy hormones are an excuse for immorality.
Committment to purity is a protection even in the presence of happy hormones. That is what needs preached. No, I'm not giving license to dressing like "women of the night" either. The last GC I attended, I saw many young women dressed in "tight" clothing, but I didn't a single one dressed like a prostitute.
"Holy" clothing comes off just as quickly and easily as "unholy" clothing when a committment to purity has not been made in the heart. I have a plethora of holy looking UPC young people and Bible school stories to back that up. The holy look doesn't work. I'm not saying that if you believe in it, that it is a waste, I'm just saying that it doesn't keep young people pure.
