God knows exactly when the first human being walked on this this earth. What we do know is that humans are born naked, and that was most likely to be his state when he first came upon this world. Then his mate was naked too, and they probably ran naked everywhere, fornicating in the open, relieving themselves wherever they felt like it. Then something made them cover their bodies with leaves, animal skin, wool or whatever. Why? Maybe it was the cold, heat, rain, bugs, or whatever. Then came woven fabrics, put together into outfits of varying purposes, that could be able to cover the entire body.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) predicted there would come a time when a woman would be naked even though she was clothed. Perhaps he meant that her clothes would be transparent, or that her clothes would be skin-tight and revealing. What is for certain is that it wasn't always this way. Christians, Jews, and Muslims all had their time when women dressed modestly, and anyone who dressed less than that in public was obviously out for debauchery. Nowadays, it is not so easy to make that distinction, or even to force it on others. One could attribute this to a modern state of mind reflected in attire, a revolution, perhaps connected to the sexual revolution of the 1960s, though the most noticable change in fashion occured after World War I. But a revolution by definition is not something new, but a return to a previous state, as a point on a wheel which revolves to the same point, as the wheel turns. So this reflects in modern fashion where women wearing less and less being the norm, added to "freedom" of promiscuity, returning humans closer to the point where people ran around naked and had sex in the open.
Then, there is business to consider. In music and fashion today, there is the notion of having to be sexy, as part of the business. This can be a forced act, and a dangerous force it is. One may argue that such experience is necessary for the sake of experimentation, but it is NOT necessary. Sex is all the same, it is the same old "penetration and violation" theory rehashed into a sickening stew. It is NOT necessary to do want you don't want to do for the sake of money. The devil may trick you into wanting it, or that it is part of the business, but the devil can be tricked too. I convinced the devil that I was a lesbian. But even so, I didn't want to slut around, or do anything I didn't want to do for the sake of business or even experimentation, so I repented, and put my life in the care of Allah. Thus, I don't pass anymore, even though I'm technically a chick singer. Like I said before, it's OK for a man to be butt-ugly. That is the mercy of Allah.
But all this analysis is very secular, and I don't like secular because it is the same as atheism as it forbids the consideration of God. I've chosen my camp, and I intend to die there. The truth is that the union between husband and wife (man and woman) is a creation of God, and that makes it sacred. Yeah, people are going to do whatever they want to do, so let them do it, as long as they don't involve the innocent in their acts. Whoever Allah leaves to stray, there can be none to save them. I have a spiritual agenda: I want to please Allah with music. And I choose you to be my wife, so I believe that makes our union sacred. Ya Allah, please bless our love.
