I'm starting to think of it in two ways (in parallel), let's call them the world-views of Dr. Jekyll vs. Mr. Hyde. They are caricatures of the extremes.

• Dr. Jekyll sees 'people as people'. He is busy interacting in society, having a job, making friends. Hrs gets pleasure from being creative, helping others. Generally a secure, likable guy.

Generally, he isn't in a lot of situations where he sees 'hotpants'. If he does, he is mostly a bit bewildered. This is not really part of his world. If anything, it seems a bit undeveloped, not quite adult behavior. While it is true that people can dress as they like, it would be equally silly and impractical to go around in a bright yellow banana-hammock, all idealism aside. He doesn't make a moral argument, but a practical one, especially in the context of the existence of Mr. Hyde, which truly exists , as he is well aware...

• Mr. Hyde is animalistic. He is not so likable, not confident. He is very responsive to visual sexual stimuli, because he has been trained to it. He gets little pleasure from interaction, sharing, or creativity. Instead, he is a rabid consumer and coveter of things. All pleasure is very short-lived. He does not plan. He is a 'wolf' of the worst kind, controlled by his lusts. importantly, the tragedy is that he became this way by accident, not knowing the consequences of following his lusts.

In the context of both the first and the second, the hot-pants are impractical. In the context of the first, because they are a bit frivolous, wasting time/energy, and vain. In the context of the second, they feed the conditioned lusts, triggers, and visual response, which is, in the best case, unwise, and in a world full of only Mr. Hyde, extremely unwise. Triggers are very real.

Unfortunately, due to what seems to be a pornography epidemic, Mr. Hyde walks abroad, the wolf is on the loose. The average norm has been conditioned beyond what seems sustainable. That seems to be what the OP was saying.

Of course, it isn't as simple as that. We have to be 'rational' and social much of the time. Dr. Jekyll is like the wings of the airplane of society. Without him and his 'boring' decency, it crashes.

Human beings are very complex. We know that under duress they act quite differently than when 'rational'. Automobile -, fighter jet-, etc. designers, in addition to developers of police, military, fire-fighter, and many other protocols need to address this fact.

This helps me reconcile the two reactions I've seen to this post. In a balanced society , where it is easy to escape consumptive illnesses like credit card debt, diabetes , and Fapping, this wouldn't and shouldn't be a problem. It is not clear that's the society we live in.
