²⁷ You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ²⁸ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into Hell. 
–Matthew 5:27-29 (NIV)–

Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you…
therefore glorify God in your body.
–1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV)–

Then out came a woman to meet him,
    dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
–Proverbs 7:10 (NIV)–

Walk by the Spirit,
and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
–Galatians 5:16 (ESV)–

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil!
–Isaiah 5:20 (NIV)–

A martyr, steadfast in faith, who stood fast as a conqueror amidst the racks and burning plates, was ordered by him to be smeared with honey and to be made to lie under a blazing sun with his hands tied behind his back, so that he who had already surmounted the heat of the frying-pan might be vanquished by the stings of flies. Another who was in the bloom of youth was taken by his command to some delightful pleasure gardens, and there amid white lilies and blushing roses, close by a gently murmuring stream, while overhead the soft whisper of the wind played among the leaves of the trees, was laid upon a deep luxurious feather-bed, bound with fetters of sweet garlands to prevent his escape. When all had withdrawn from him a harlot of great beauty drew near and began with voluptuous embrace to throw her arms around his neck, and, wicked even to relate! To handle his person, so that when once the lusts of the flesh were roused, she might accomplish her licentious purpose. What to do, and whither to turn, the soldier of Christ knew not. Unconquered by tortures he was being overcome by pleasure. At last with an inspiration from Heaven HE BIT OFF THE END OF HIS TONGUE AND SPAT IT IN HER FACE as she kissed him. Thus the sensations of lust were subdued by the intense pain which followed.

–St. Jerome, The Life of Paulus—

I disagree with Enroth that it should be considered “controlling” and “abusive” to draw a line in the sand about gender distinctions, provocative clothing, and outward presentation. The Bible teaches the complete opposite (Deut. 22:5; 1 Pet. 3:3; 1 Tim. 2:9; Prov. 7:10).
