It is absolutely true that a person who wears provocative clothing is not asking to have sex with every person who might happen to respond, but it is indicative that the person is considering having sex with somebody or at the very least is interested in arousing the interest of other people.
I think you need to think about that a bit. Proscribing provocative clothing is a subjective idea. Though to YOU it might indicate that the person is considering having sex with someone or is trying to arouse interest that person may just be wearing what he or she is comfortable with. It used to be that women who wore skirts higher than the ankle or showed their shoulder were being provocative, but would you hold that to be true today? Or how about some muslim countries where women without a veil or Hajhib?(sp) are considered acting immorally. There are tribes in many parts of the world where they wear a minimum of clothing and go naked part of the time. Is that in any way provocative?
There isn't anything that humans do that some other animal doesn't also do.
Trying not to quibble over semantics or whatever and I am sure you recognize this mistake, but I don't think you can say that animals do anything humans do. Ie. Make clothing, dig and refine metals, propose theories on their origins.
