Mortified? yes. Tense? no.

I don't get the LDS leadership obsession with masturbation by Mormons. There are likely several bishop interviews of young teens taking place right now on this topic. Why is that? (apart from the obvious--these bishops need to feed their fantasies somehow).
For some reason I think BCspaces thinks we are lying when we say the bishop asked me if I masturbated. Lets see if most people got asked or just a few of us.
This board is not a fair sampling of LDS. However, I think many of you probably gave off signals that you have a problem, hence, you got asked.

There is an appearance of such because this board is filled with chronic masturbators who've had encounters with their Bishops. You probably get a few dozen Church-wide and when they are all in one place, see sampling above....

That's probably true, due to them being humans and all. A clear signal that the chances were pretty high that they masturbated.

Well this is a little more than usual. The only reason I made this poll was because BSspace thinks it's just a few people that got asked by our bishops if we masturbated. So I was curious if it was just my part of the world or does the general membership get asked the question.
It's funny if BCspace thinks we are all liars. You know how insane that would have to be if we all got together and said "hey lets create and antimormon lie and tell everyone that the Mormon bishops ask us if we masturbate."
You must also be in cahoots with folks at NOM since there are always threads popping up over there on the subject. In particular the question of whether or not a parent should insist they be present at all of these interviews with their children.

Why not? A lot of us use to be LDS. Do you not believe us when we say we got asked this question?
How do you give off signals that you masturbate? Is my right forearm extra big or something? Was I shaking my hand around my pants when talking to the bishop?
These bishops asked all the young men in my ward and not just me. It was a standard question in my wards from the bishop and it wasn't just me because I showed "signs" of a cronic masturbator.
What about when I stopped for long periods of time and I still got asked? There was no way I was showing signs then. What do you say to that?
