Question
Hello, I play a computer game that, when it starts, displays a picture of an immodestly dressed woman/girl, but it doesn’t seem to cause me improper thoughts. Is it permissible for me to play it? I don’t even mind looking a bit to the side, meaning not to gaze at it. Thank you in advance.
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
It is forbidden to look at an immodest picture, and it makes no difference whether it causes improper thoughts or not.
If it is possible to play without seeing the picture, for example by turning on the game and waiting a few seconds until the image passes, that is what should be done.
If not, look for another game.
