Where is it mentioned?
"Do not arouse those emotions in your own body."
Is that what you mean? Seems to be a pretty obtuse way of saying "Masturbation is a sin."
Is masturbation mentioned in the Temple Recommend questions? (no).
Is it mentioned in the Handbook of Instructions? (I don't think so).
Is it specifically referred to in For the Strength of Youth? (kinda)
Is it written ANYWHERE that a youth that masturbates is unworthy of [insert privilege/ordinance]? (I can't find it)
Is it possible that MudPhud's dad was correct when he said it is inappropriate for a church leader to ask a youth about this? (I don't know)
Is there a definitive source out there on whether masturbation is a sin, and if so, how serious of a sin? TIA.
