[Avodah] Tznius for Men

[Ben Waxman]

So:

1) Non-erotic nude pictures (a nude in a museum, or lhavdil, a Holocaust picture) is OK?
2) Things like a couple holding hands in public is OK?

  Mandatory laws
  There are several levels to the observance of physical and personal modesty (tznius) according to Orthodox Judaism as derived from various sources in halakha.
    a.. Avoid looking at pictures or scenes that will be sexually arousing. 
    b.. Do not erotically hug (chibuk) or kiss (nishuk) your spouse unless you are in private and when the wife is definitely not a niddah ("menstruant").
