During the week I was listening to BBC radio and some woman gave an unfortunate account of sexual harassment she experienced first hand by a group of Indian teen boys at her visit to India. That was the first time I heard of the word Eve Teasing.
I'm first of all not surprised at all at the rise and rise of sexual immorality and perversion in general. I think that is what happens when the world forgets the importance of womanhood and family. This dysfunctional sexual appetite shown by these Indian teens are a direct reflection of what our culture has inherited from its love of pleasure and disdain for responsibility. This sexual molestation has different dimensions in different parts of Asia and the world. It is a big problem in not only India but Japan as well.
"I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I look upon a virgin?" (Job 31:1 RSV)
Definitions of terms:
Eve teasing is a phrase used for public sexual harassment or molestation of women by men, with use of the word "Eve" being a reference to the biblical Eve, the first woman. It is a sexual perversion that seems to be popular in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
Chikan is a Japanese word that refers to the public molestation or the person who commits such an act. It is frequently used to refer to groping, often on crowded Japanese trains.
Frotteurism refers to a paraphilic interest in rubbing, usually one's pelvis or erect penis, against a non-consenting person for sexual gratification. It may involve touching any part of the body including the genital area. A person who practices frotteurism is known as a frotteur. The majority of frotteurs are male and the majority of victims are female, although female on male, female on female, and male on male frotteurs exist.
Immoral fashion among girls and women are catalyst to this. I also believe Japanese pornography and their hentai are contribution to this menace. Likewise, India and surrounding countries have their own share of sexual compromises that has resulted to this most shameful practice by some of their citizens.
Let's return to Christ and be healed from this once and for all:
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:27-28 RSV)
