Because there is a fundamental question here:

Is there something to be gained in purposefully not masturbating?

Obviously some on here say "no". Others say "yes."

I think nearly 100% would agree there is something purposeful about not masturbating, at least if you're a believing LDS. But I think some people define sin as something that's really bad vs kinda bad.

Reminds me of my friend's mission. His MP got up and said "We have a masturbation problem in this mission...and it isn't only the Elders." There were lots of looks towards the Sisters that day.

MP's could spend their whole time managing confessions from masturbating missionaries. From the little insight I've had with MP's most have had a pretty lax attitude about it as it is inevitable that it will be a common problem.

I think this is true of priesthood leaders in general. I remember it came up in a Bishopric meeting once. No names named of course but the Bishop was discussing temple attendance and a brother who wouldn't go because he felt so guilty about it. He said he told him "if you slip, tell the Lord you're sorry and go to the temple." I think a lot of members are much harder on themselves than the Lord will / would ever be.

My trainer would yell at me if my hands were under the covers as I went to sleep. He'd yell: "Elder! This mission has a problem with masturbation, and I don't want you becoming a part of it!" Then he'd get up in the morning and put metallica on and prance around the apartment naked and picking his nose. His favorite way to wake me up was by spreading his naked butt cheeks in my face at 6:30 AM.

I didn't mind the metallica part.

Waking someone up with your naked spread butt cheeks is by far the worse sin!

I think I would have beat the crap out of a companion who did that to me. Let's see, dude runs around naked, has a fixation on masturbating elders, and spreads his cheeks for you.

Nah, no latent problem there, right doc? :-S

He had only been on his mission for 6 weeks when he was training me, and neither one of us spoke Russian very well, so it was a confusing time in so many ways.

Eventually I got promoted to AP, and when we went to visit his city he punched me in the gonads. My companion told the mission president on him, and he got a phone call from the president. Naturally, he assumed that I had been the one to tattle, and he relayed a message to me that he was going to inflict permanent damage next time.

Stories like this prove to me that the Church is true, when young men such as these are responsible for ~300,000 converts per year.

Too bad the conversion rate hasn't caught up with the world birth rate yet. So technically, Mormonism is shrinking as a percentage of the world population.
