Seksi...terseksa & menyeksa


WHAT SEXY MEANS?
1. provoking or intended to provoke sexual interest (i.e. by a sexy dress)-concerned predominantly or excessively with sex
2. radiating sexuality by looking sexual interesting, arousing
3. interesting, exciting, or trendy (concerning non-living subjects-i.e.cars, bikes)

These are the definitions of SEXY which I got from 2 websites...thefreedictionary.com & dictionary.com.

MY GOOD FRIEND & I
I had brief fun debate recently, with a good friend of mine regarding this matter..BEING SEXY. She feels that being sexy can contribute to boost one's self esteem, confidence etc. I was amused with this...how are they related? I said it had no connection at all. This cute friend of mine continued that by putting on high heels, dressing up sexily to certain extent can put a person more presentable and booming in confidence. Hmm...i just could not agree with her:) That's when I thought of writing about this in my blog.hehe

ZOOM IN-SEXY
When we talk about sexy-it is either sexy human or sexy designs of non-living subjects (i.e. car) Am talking solely about sexy in humans..more precisely ladies; o as they are the one repeatedly subjected to sexiness (though guys are not spared)
Not sure how the general population perceives; for me...sexiness is mainly projected by dressing...the more body parts u expose, the sexier u will appear. Exposing here can be literal or even by covering up half-heartedly(kain jarang, kain separa cukup, kain terbelah, putting on high heels to put the back bumper to limelight...etc.hehe). Well of course the way a person talks or interacts can be sexy too. But i am more concerned about dressing; which is definitely a deliberate act by a person who is mentally sound:)

WHY?
I just can't understand;
Why does women want to look sexy by exposing themselves? They are gorgeous, yet they still want to appear sexy. Some perceive themselves as not so beautiful & use that as an excuse to be sexy (as if sexiness enhances beauty).
My dear sisters, You can dress-up but NEED NOT TO BE SEXY. Put on the finest gorgeous dresses you can find but it does not need to be sexy!
Why are you exposing yourselves to strangers who will look at you as if they have never seen a woman before?
What pleasure do you get by being "peewhitted" by strangers. (though may even happen if you are decently dressed; but will be of xtra "peewhit" if they look at a sexy lady).
Why are you exposing yourself to extra danger by dressing up sexily & walking on our not-so-safe roads?
Why are you putting on a dress which can cause discomfort to you & "suffocate" you (i.e. tight blouses, skirts) You wear a skirt with high cut slit & end up balik2 trying to cover up.
Why do you wear high heels & pre-dispose yourselves to varicose veins?
Apahal duhai wanita?

EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN
Women have long been exploited & degraded. They were declined of their rights. If we look at era of Jahiliyyah in Middle-East...baby girls were buried alive; women are deemed to be merely reproductive machine. Islam brought the just equality women have been yearning for long. Man & women have their own responsibilities, place in society and equal rights to voice out opinion. Equality here is not as what the emancipation group are fighting for...equality means; men have their responsibilities...women have their own; thus equality is in accordance to these responsibilities. Women were given the pride which has long been taken away from them. they are not to be exploited but to be cared & protected. Their bodies are not to be exposed; but to be covered & protected

But let us look at our society now...many are voluntarily exposing themselves. Look at our ads, TV shows, our shopping complexes..huh..just to name a few...
Where is your pride my dear sisters?
If we look at any religion's teachings...I would boldly say, none are in favour of allowing sexy dressing...dare to challenge? so, get back to your respective religion's teachings & protect yourselves...the world is not getting any better, only more cruel.
REMEMBER please...sexiness has nothing to do with confidence. Confidence is within us...decent appearance strengthens it...sexy appearance does not come into confidence line:)
My sincerest apology to all who read this; if I had made any insulting/provocative statements...do correct me...sedia menerima teguran:)

Two verses from the holy Qur'an as for our reminder:

Al-'Araaf :26 (Peringatan untuk mentup aurat)

Hai anak Adam[530], sesungguhnya Kami telah menurunkan kepadamu pakaian untuk menutup auratmu dan pakaian indah untuk perhiasan. Dan pakaian takwa[531] itulah yang paling baik. Yang demikian itu adalah sebahagian dari tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah, mudah-mudahan mereka selalu ingat.

An-Nur :31 (Peringatan khusus untuk wanita)
Katakanlah kepada wanita yang beriman: "Hendaklah mereka menahan pandangannya, dan kemaluannya (nafsu) dan janganlah mereka menampakkan perhiasannya, kecuali yang (biasa) nampak dari padanya. Dan hendaklah mereka menutupkan kain tudung ke dadanya, dan janganlah menampakkan perhiasannya kecuali kepada suami mereka, atau ayah mereka, atau ayah suami mereka, atau putera-putera mereka, atau putera-putera suami mereka, atau saudara-saudara laki-laki mereka, atau putera-putera saudara lelaki mereka, atau putera-putera saudara perempuan mereka, atau wanita-wanita islam, atau budak-budak yang mereka miliki, atau pelayan-pelayan laki-laki yang tidak mempunyai keinginan (terhadap wanita) atau anak-anak yang belum mengerti tentang aurat wanita. Dan janganlah mereka memukulkan kaki agar diketahui perhiasan yang mereka sembunyikan. Dan bertaubatlah kamu sekalian kepada Allah, hai orang-orang yang beriman supaya kamu beruntung.

ur point of view isn't wrong, but it isnt very right too, i'd say it's important for the sexy ladies to be aware of what they're wearing and the consequences and prepared to deal with them. There are ladies who love wearing thin clothes purely bcos it's too hot out there, less space occupying when traveling or it's easier for the activities planned,simply practical reasons or sometimes jt for self gratification...believe it! We shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, ever...u'd be surprise to find a perfectly clad woman doing 'funny things' underneath the thick clothings... :),U cant tell 'itchiness' based on someone's dressing :)

Thanks hema & munie for ur comments...really appreciate.

well, am definitely not judging a book by it's cover.
true enuf...many sexy ladies have good noble heart & many who apparently cover up nicely are not:) I won't be Surprised with that...have seen a couple of examples.
self gratification?hmm...i think there are lots of other ways to attain that:)
My point is...it would be nice to see ladies with excellent attitude, noble heart & decently dressed...
But at the end of the day...it is for the ladies to decide:)

Sexiness is in the eye of the beholder =p

Apart from the typical physical definition, some think that being smart/intelligent = sexy. The way one speaks (intonation, husky voice, cheeky giggles) also can be sexy. Err, I have a colleague whose handwriting I believe is stylish and sexy LOL! There you go haha...

I agree with ur article and views. Getting back to the physical definition of sexy, yeah, by wearing little clothing and reveal body parts to men, women are actually exposing herself to danger (quoting Ahmad Deedat : 'unintentionally' inviting herself towards pleasure and rape).

Islam has come to the rescue of upholding women's self-value and worth by perintah menutup aurat. Islam is the only solution to everything.
