Of course I did not think badly about them but I show other people snickering and whispering near by "Oh, he must like ___________" You can fill in the blanks.... So it does happen because of todays cultural climate... Personally I find that online shopping for the wife is better and she can be there to help pick out... But ServantofGod had a good point too... "What is the point in more clothing once married"

In the instance mentioned above, I honestly don't think it's "because of today's culture" I believe it was more because of their own hearts. You said yourself, "I did not think badly about them" yet you live within the same culture climate as those who did snicker.

I don't shop online but I have looked at various sites to see what's out there..
and many of the websites I have personally looked at are filled with models clad in these sexy outfits, so how can one keep their thoughts pure in such cases, even with their wives sitting next to them?

Especially given what you've been saying that many struggle with lust even looking at a womans hair or legs, why would one set themselves up to lust over such images within the confines of their own homes looking with and for their wives? How could one justify having the internet coming into their homes given the many advertisements of barely clad women or women with their hair showing if they know they struggle with this?
