The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Tomer Zino’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

monday night class tonight's topic will be the laws of negia which means guarding yourself from touching touching who touching the opposite gender and there is much discussion on this topic so we need to understand that like we said in by the echo class the laws of seclusion that the seclusion that the person has to be very careful when it comes to immorality because by immorality there's a tremendous desire and a person can easily confuse himself and and reason with himself rationalize why things are permitted even though they're not and we know we said many times over from the mara that in apotheopis there is no guarantor there is no person who can clarify and say that i know i'm not going to fall in this test or i know i'm not going to go overboard or i know i'm going to go overboard or i know i'm immune to this desire for morality it's very hard it's basically impossible to say such a thing says to stay far away from women very far it's a very interesting thing that i spoke to someone one time and i told them you know we need to stay away from women a lot of bad things could happen you know wait until you're could happen you know wait until you're married but until then stay away from women don't hang out with girls and he said but rabbi you know if i don't hang out with girls you know god forbid you know you could lose your desire for women god forbid you could become someone who is of the other type who likes god forbid men or something like that and i said to him that's not true that's uh even though there's people who claim that i think it's a claim from the itsahara
