The Safe Deposit Box/Modesty

We have a safe deposit box at the bank. In it we keep anything that we do not want stolen, lost, or damaged. The items in it are hidden out of sight. It is only accessible using two keys, ours and the bank's.
True modesty is like our safe deposit box. A man or a woman's natural desire for intimacy can only be achieved through the proper process. The attention needed to lure another into true intimacy occurs only when there is need to pursue it or to find it. If it is visible and easily found it is vulnerable to be stolen, lost or damaged. The proper process is that it can only be accessed by two authorized (legally married) parties.
Recent statistics prove this point. The more immodest males and females have become, the greater the social ills: divorce, abortion, child abuse, disease, addiction, rape, pornography, etc. all beckon back to lax safe keeping of values.
