Upper thighs, chest, ass, etc. exposed or nearly so. Idk.
... You answer your own question Bullitt--to draw sexual attention. That's easy.

But to extend that line of thought, the attention can lead to lots of things. One thing it could lead to is a conversation about sex. "Hey, you're hot. Wanna fuck?" "Yeah!" Probably not rape. That sexual attention, that sexual conversation *REQUIRES* consent. No consent, no sex. Even if there is penetration. Attention seeking and attention giving isn't a crime.

Have you ever seen a woman who drew your sexual attention? You probably didn't rape her. There's no connection. No more than the woman who's wearing slacks and a sweater (or her pajamas or anything else) has in some way, *any* way acted to contribute to being raped.

For the record, I don't think you're suggesting this line of thought, though others have said it or implied it. Whoever hold this idea, they're wrong.
