Where is the line that separates modest from immodest? — We're wondering that too.
Sometimes I think about how if I don’t guard my beauty, I am intentionally not protecting what God created in me. If I willingly remove more clothing; if I willingly dress for sex, I am not guarding what should be full of integrity and what should honor God more than most women do. If I want that in a man, you better believe that type of man would want it of me too.

Not sure if she is equating removing clothing with dressing for sex. They are not necessarily related and actively pursuing one may not result in the other.
Guarding one’s beauty can help men not to commit sin. What verse tells us to not make your brother stumble?
As a man and speaking with other men and listening to other men, we are capable of lusting, regardless of your apparel. Just like women are capable of lusting regardless of men’s apparel (ref: Joseph and Potiphar’s wife.) While it is noble of you to want to try to help men not to commit sin, I’m not sure it helps you or the men who you are trying to help. You (as women) are assuming a responsibility which you can not control. In short, you are just opening yourself up for blame (“I only raped her because she was asking for it, by the way she was dressed.” or “I only ate the fruit because the woman you gave to me, she gave me some.”) and we, men, excel at blaming others for our own shortcomings.
As for the verses I Cor 8:13, Romans 14:13, 21, and II Cor 6:3. I don’t know what the balance is. However, people will sin regardless of what we do.
