...so why keep only the breasts if they're making men commit adultery in their hearts?

The problem is, the blaming of others for your own failings is a common trait amongst humanity, and isn't just related to the Christian community. It's a common failing. The Christian community, however, does take it to an illogical extreme. I\E if a fellow is having problems with drinking, the logical path would be not to offer them a drink, the Christian community, on the other hand, would blame all alcohol on the planet, and demand the immediate destruction of all booze. (this was the reason for prohibition in the 20's.)
So a woman, or man, (lets not be sexist) who enhances their beauty by clothing, the lust is still a reaction on the part of the observer. Also, to add to this, what is considered sexy will vary from person to person, whereas one might get hot over large breasts, others might get involved in long shapely legs (or like myself, have a lingerie fetish, that goes back to 8mm Swedish Erotica movies, wink wink)
Still, the problem is on the part of the person looking, and, to one so inclined, even if the person were covered totally in a burlap sack, the imagination alone would take over, and the fantasy would begin.
It all still boils down to blaming someone else for their own failings.

Sorry but the breasts and short skirts dont "make" you commit adultery in your heart or anywhere else. You do that to yourself. See this is the reason that women in other parts of the world wear vieils and burkas cause men say we "make " them do things.

I feel sorry for you if you have not control over your mind do you think it would be better if women were never born or maybe we could castrate all men???

I love all the excuses made for this when the reality is that, we can cause others to sin and indecency is one such way.

Are you not getting any or something. Go out and find a girlfriend or sow you're wild oats.

Did God say this was a sin? I've only heard people say it is.
