Is any of this a learned reaction rather than something innate in nature? To use your (clearly creepy) example, the reason there was a desire to see your hair was because it was hidden (learned reaction). In a society where men regularly see married women's hair (or, for example, women wearing non-skin-tight pants), it no longer a lecherous fantasy to see a woman in such dress. Or is there an objective level (i.e., nature) where a woman's hair, legs, etc. definitively arouses improper thoughts?

@dmwdevil the way i see it, the reason that Judaism values modesty is so that excitement can exist. when you cover, you have the chance to uncover. in our society, where you see almost everything nowadays, i think it's harder and harder to have that excitement and there's a real loss there.

Now I was watching a video by this other woman & she was insisting that wigs weren't actually appropriate.

[jewinthecity]

@VictorLepanto there are different opinions. in some communities they do not believe in wigs. in others they do. you can guess which one i'm part of! :)

[sukkubusx]

do you pick your wig close to your actual hair or do you sometimes like to switch it up? :)

[jewinthecity]

@sukkubusx i personally go with close to my own hair (i think most people do!), but i borrowed my sister blond wig for "The Jewish Secret to Financial Freedom" episode!

A "Kiddush HaShem" and timely considering the many misunderstandings surrounding Torah Judaism today.

I love your honesty! :)

[MsOmeGa29]

Absolutely right! קל הכבוד!!!!

Very well done! my wife wears a hat or a scarf to cover her hair. it sorta makes me feel special knowing that I am the only man who can see her hair.

I am a muslim and I deeply deeply respect you. It's strange but we are more alike than different.
