Sparkly – Many people don’t realize this but not being shomer negiah is one of the biggest aveiros around, much bigger than being mechalel Shabbos or eating Trafe. It is one of the few things that it is better to be killed than be oveir on. Not being tznius is also one of the biggest aveiros because you are sending to people to Gehinnom which is the greatest act of cruelty a person can perform.
That being said, it’s great that people keep whatever they can, and every Mitzvah has tremenous schar. If someone feels that it is too hard for him to be shomer negiah, it is great that he is still keeping what he can, as long as he doesn’t deny the Torah and doesn’t say that according to the Torah you don’t have to be shomer negiah.
