I grew up in the Mormon shurch. I always thought this to be a great farce. Virtually all of us boys masturbated, but none of us would ever admit to it when asked by the Bishop.

I always point top the studies which show that persons who deny themselves any kind of sexual release turn out to be VERY neurotic. To deny our animal instincts is harmful.

Thanks for raising awareness of this sick, sick, sick practice. It takes a lot to shock me, but this has. Definitely child abuse.

I grew up in SLC and I can say unequivocally that Mormonism is the most narrow minded, ridiculous, delusional doctrine ever founded with the exception of Scientology. But it was equally corrupt. Take anything the church says publicly with ten pounds of salt.

If this is true, this is really sick and LDS needs to be put on the cult watch list.
