We're in the realm of make believe again, why me. And you're showing your ignorance of women.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

Yet she continued after his death to deny he had practiced polygamy. So that leaves adultery as the classification for his sex with other women.

Fanny just didn't move on. She seems to have said nothing negative about Joseph to her parents and brother since all still believed Joseph was a prophet. And that does say a lot about the relationship.
Why would fanny allow her mother and father to continue to believe in the LDS church and in Joseph Smith, especially after the murder? If fanny knew that it was based on lust, she had an obligation to tell her parents.
Now since she was silent about such a thing, I can assume that she believed that it was not a nasty dirty affair.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith

She just couldn't get her handle on it. No surpise there. And because of her self denial we can see just what problems Joseph was experiencing with her over the practice.
And yet, he felt that his actions were sanctioned by god and as such, it was something that he had to do. And it seems that william law's son, confirmed this.

I would guess she wouldn't think it was a nasty, dirty affair. None of Joseph's other women thought they were doing anything dirty. He was the prophet, after all. Makes you wonder, though, if she was his wife, why she left the church and married someone else. So much for eternal marriage.

I know enough about women to know that they know when a man is a horny baboon in bed. These women involved with joseph believed that he was a prophet. If he were a conman I have no idea how he could hide his horny baboon nature from them. They would have felt it and acted accordingly.

I don't think we can say for sure whether he felt his actions were sanctioned by God, unless you or I have the ability to read the minds of people who have long been dead. I don't have that ability, do you?

When a young man is having a Mormon lay, being a horny baboon would not cut it. There is much respect going on in a Mormon lay. The term that you cowboys use out west would not cut it: dry humping. That is too horny baboonish.
