| The coverage of most of their body is kinda along the lines of no sex before marriage in Christian society.
Basically in their culture from my understanding, is that those parts of the female body are to be reserved for their husband's pleasure and "worship" perhaps, not to be exposed to other men who they do not know.
Think of it as what occured in the 1950's in US culture and abroad where women were practically in Ronald McDonald suits when they went to the beach, and where exposing anything above the ankle was indecent exposure.
So in other words, Western culture isn't that far ahead of their culture, if you want to look at it that way, as it was not even 50 years ago where similar practices were being used here. |
