? Could you clarify? Are you suggesting the studies are rigged by those who favor the activity?

Your statement is, to me, a very negative distortion of what the church really does.

This doesn't seem like too much to ask of a young man that wants to serve a mission. I'm surprised to see how many people here believe that asking young men to do this is completely unreasonable. Even oppressive. I don't understand that.

They are also supposed to discontinue the practice for the entire 2 year mission. So, that makes it well over 2 years sans masturbation.
It's like asking everyone to become vegan.

Hi Mattie,
I'm guessing that you have never been a young man. Three months without some sort of sex is a very long time for a young man. That's just nature. Young men need to have sex, I don't know if that is the same for young women.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

It's not just for 3 months that you have to stop masturbating it's for your whole life. Do you consider masturbating a sin?
For most guys it is easy enough to stop for 3 months but for their whole lives is another story. Unless there getting constant sex than it's easy enough not to masturbate.
The longest I could go was 6 months and then I would do it again. This was something that was impossible for me to stop. Now I realize it is actually natural and healthy for you. Just like taking a piss is natural and healthy. No wonder I had such a hard time stopping something so natural.

Maybe you could tell us why it's reasonable for octogenarians in Salt Lake City to micromanage the private moments of 19-year-old men around the world.

And it all traces right back to JSJr, the original Mormon horn dog.
