I ask because I know someone who does this and has the pictures all over his Facebook account. Let's just say I wouldn't want my fiance looking at them, and he gets all kinds of comments from girls. I sent him a message asking if he doesn't think that it could be a stumbling block, and told him that I for one wouldn't want my wife seeing another guy like that, but he never replied to me. Should I send another message? Am I wrong here? | I see nothing Biblically wrong with bodybuilding, or even posing in skimpy "posing trunks" within the context of a competition. The goal is to compare physiques, not to cause lust.
If a woman has a problem with lust when she looks at those pictures or at those men, then she shouldn't look at them. However, I will tell you the majority of women I know think bodybuilders look disgusting. My wife thinks the bulging bodybuilder types are unattractive, so I have no problem with her seeing those guys in their tiny trunks. If Brad Pitt were posing, I might have to cover her eyes...  | same here. As long as the body builder doesn't go around singing, "Too sexy for my shirt", its all good.
