We are a lay leadership here (BTW, I've always felt kind of dirty when using that term). Really, why does anyone think that the local leadership in our church is qualified to be offering advice on healthy sexual relations. Unless, of course, Utestar happens to be your Bishop. I say leave it to families and, if needed, LDSSS. I understand that is not being taken care of in many (most) families, but why does it then fall on the church to fill that void? |

We place it in our membership requirements, and feel it incumbent upon our leadership to lecture against promiscuity or extra-marital relations. If we're going to step into the arena with one foot, are we doing more harm by ignoring the other foot? By arguing for restraint, you create psychologically an imbalance, especially for sincere, devout persons who often mistakenly look to religious faith as the primary instructor of their beings. Many Mormons find their culture to completely define them and look within their culture to inform them of everything. So either leadership needs to disabuse everybody of that notion, not something I see the Church doing, or leadership needs to better its membership on these issues.

I've found that a two hump camel doesn't always just refer to the number of lumps on their backs.

Folks here could use some lumps on the head.

This kind of discussion always reminds me of my Bishop who used to ask every year, "So do you have a problem with masturbation?" I was always tempted but didn't have the courage to answer, "No problem at all, Bishop. I have nothing against masturbation. No problem with it at all." |

The church already has sexuality as a huge part of its doctrine and practices. We've had instruction (and proscriptions) on birth control, oral sex, homosexuality, abstinence, petting, masturbation, childbearing, fornication, adultery, etc. You could say sexuality is one of the most significant topics that is addressed in church. I don't think it's out of line to instruct the relief society to stop being so frigid. Every other instruction seems to be on what not to do sexually - maybe a little positive instruction would help.

"Well I used to have a problem, but now I'm real good at it." Max, not one to suffer fools lightly but recognizing the sarcastic nature, "Okay, we're done here, let's set you apart."
