Guarding the Eyes
Question
Is there any reason to guard one’s eyes from looking at forbidden sights, aside from the fact that Jewish law prohibits it?
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. If Jewish law doesn’t prohibit it, then it isn’t prohibited. If you’re asking whether there is value in being stricter beyond that, it depends on what exactly you’re talking about and on who you are. So that’s your decision.
No, I mean whether there’s any benefit in it, not from the Torah’s side at all.
