30-40% of ALL LDS Mormon Missionaries Masturbate? (link)

[_Mercury]

Apparently even the sisters on my mission confessed to it enough that the MP said they had a problem too.

In the words of my Patrons Granddaughter:



that's hawt

[_Brackite]

I suspect closer to 90% masturbated on their missions.

Well, it should be at least 99.99% of them that should be Masturbating. Every young single and able young man should be Masturbating at least twice a week. Here is a list of some of the benefits of Masturbation, From one of the Web Site Pages of Religious Tolerance.com:

R. Jandl commented in an "Ask the Doctors" column that masturbation has a number of benefits:

It enables the playing out of pleasurable sexual fantasies.
It releases sexual tension and often produces a pleasant, tranquil feeling.
It helps a person become more comfortable with their own sexuality.
It is an enjoyable experience when shared with a partner.
It can curb impulses to have inappropriate sex with someone. 3

Other Internet and text references list additional benefits associated with masturbation:

No one gets pregnant by masturbating.
It helps maintain good pelvic blood flow and strong pc muscles.
It is safe. One cannot be infected with STDs during solitary masturbation.
It's great for stress relief.
It can help you sleep.
It can temporarily relieve menstrual cramps in women.
A person who masturbates can learn about the sexual responses of their own body, and thus be better prepared for sexual activity with a partner at a later time.

[_Dr. Shades]

Am I the only one who never masturbated while on his mission?

You were obviously a Saint, Shades. And look what happened to you? Perhaps the Brethren should encourage or at least refrain from discouraging masturbation on the mission, since you didn't and you left the church.

Seems a bit low to me, but according to this Mission President, it's the 'church average.'

And the other 60-70% are liars.
