Well excellent intiative, I guess. Another anecdote that confirms my initial analysis : the pursuit of women is essentially an act of predation, and a woman's value is, religion aside, reduced to how successful she is at attracting potential predators.
To put it more bluntly : All men are, by their very nature, sexual predators, but some manage to temper their arousal better than others.
Speak for yourself. Most men are NOT sexual predators. Nor is a woman's value reduced to how successful she is in finding a mate any more than is a man's value reduced to such. That you see men and women in this way says far more about you than it does about humanity.

Bold mine.
You're right, it's a natural, primitive setting. That's why Islam recommended that women cover themselves, so we can finally move on to a higher, more civilized setting.
Looking -intently- at a woman in bikini lights up the ventral striatum in your brain (the part responsible for reward processing) and, unsurprisingly, triggers a dopamine release. In other words, your brain interprets the scene as some "time for your reward, you win" moment, even though you're telling us it's just an innocent, natural moment. And when you get used to staring at women at beaches, your brain eventually creates an association between those scenes and intense feelings of pleasure. Would you like your wife to trigger intense feelings of primal pleasure for other men ? I assume not?[/quote]
Sure, why not? She is beautiful and having other men notice that is no problem to me or her as long as they aren't jerks about it.
And if I trigger such feelings in women (far less likely), then that is no skin off anyone's nose either.
One can acknowledge beauty and not feel the need to be an asshole. you are describing men as all assholes.
