I have a book that I think was my great-grandfather's. It's called "Sex - Avoided Subjects Discussed in Plain English" by Henry Stanton, copyright 1922. In the chapter entitled "Sex in the Adolescent Male" there is a short section called "Masturbation" that reads:
Masturbation, the habit of self-abuse, often formed before puberty, is an artificial development of sexual precocity. Most boys, from the age of nine to fourteen, interest themselves in sex questions and matters, but these are usually presented to them in a lewd and improper manner, by improperly informed companions. Dwelling upon these thoughts the boy is led to play with his sex organs in secret and masturbation results. A secret vice of the most dangerous kind, masturbation or self-pollution is often taught by older boys and takes place, to quote an authority "in many of our colleges, boarding, public, and private schools," and is also indulged in by companions beneath the same roof. If it becomes habitual, generally impaired health, and often epilepsy, and total moral and physical degradation results. Stains on the nightshirt or sheet occurring before puberty are absolute evidence of the vice in boys.
Damn that video gave me the creeps. Brings back awful memories of all those talks that I have heard on porn and masturbation. Some of the talks I heard were just as bad as that one.
I love how he said 30-40% have a problem with masturbation. That means he has about 60-70% lying to him. I feel sorry for missionaries currently serving with all that guilt in their hearts. I know how they feel.
The issue is resolved by teaching missionaries to clean their damn house.
Or have the sister missionaries do it for them.

I suppose one of the elders could do it as well. Boys can "clean house" too, ya know.

If I were 20 and I had a roommate who was spanking the monkey in the bathroom while I was in the kitchen, I would not like to be there. The missionaries are with each other 24/7. Not good to be a masturbating bear when your partner is in the living room. Just my opinion. And then to have to go to the toilet knowing just what happened...is not a good feeling.

Why me, reading your.posts in this thread makes wonder if all your masturbation knowledge comes from"something about Mary".
A roomate who leaves their masturbation byproduct on full display has much much much more serious issues that the other roommate should be worried about than the roommates masturbation.
Imagine being a companion to a missionary who acts like the masturbating bear. Not good. One reason why it should not be done on a mission.
Oh, stop it. The guy's problem is that he doesn't know how to clean up after himself. If he spilled milk on the floor, you'd tell him to stop drinking milk, I suppose.

OMG. I just tonight heard a story about a sister missionary moving into an apartment that had housed elders for 15 years. She and her companion had to take two days off clean it up. Now I can only hope they had biohazard suits for the job.

Seriously? Epilepsy from chicken choking? Awesome. Reminds me of Reefer Madness.
I suppose it's a step up from the notion that epilepsy is caused by demon possession, but jeez.
Just think, if Prophet Smith were familiar with this theory in the 1800s, he might have put it in the Word of Wisdom as a health guideline, just as he adopted the old notion that heated drinks harm the body.

If this were anywhere else, I'd wonder if you were being ironic and this was some sort of meta commentary on the unhealthy psychosexual obsessions found within Mormonism, and then I would worry that I was too dense to get it. But no, I think you're serious.
I thought most people knew this.
