sometimes i watch a film and there is pritzus on it like kissing etc. If it does nothing to you may you watch it? People frown but I wonder why not? Surely the issur can only be when you are MeHarher?
can you watch an indecent film with not properly dressed women in if you dont concentrate on it
there is no other derech to watch this movie not watching would be analagous to not going wich is not a chiuv
Many people will say that if you dont need to go then it is Ossur but I agree with you, why should it be Ossur if you know you wont look, whats wrong is to specially go that way but as you point out in this case there is no other way - AlexAug 09 '12 at 16:30

According to the Gemorah Bava Basra 57b one who travels along a route where women launder cloths is considured a Rasha if there is an alternate route. The Chofetz Chaim questions why someone is considured a Rasha if they do not look and explains that since the Yetzer Hara is stonger it is forbidden to put oneself is such a situation.
