He'd towel off one part of his body at a time and put on a fresh garment over that area before removing the other wet garment, and so forth. He took his garments pretty darn seriously. ;-)
The practice of bathing only parts of the body at a time so as to avoid ever getting totally naked, was a very common practice in the earlier days of the church, down to my grandparents' days. But I haven't heard of more recent practitioners, in spite of the fact that it would be so much easier now, with smaller-format, 2-piece garms.
I've never heard of this before. Where can I read about it?

Actually, when it comes to sexual arousal, things have a nasty way of getting into hand.

Some people have a nasty view of what is nasty and what isn't.

Are you trying to set a point you can go to with your boyfriend, and then you figure you'll stop right there and go no farther?
If so, I'll let you in on a little secret: when it comes to sexual arousal, things have a nasty way of getting out of hand, and before you realize what happened, you wake up one morning and you're no longer the virgin you were the night before. So go ahead and push things to the limit, telling yourself that you'll stop at such and such a line and go no farther. It will probably work two or three times. Maybe even five or six. But I guarantee you it won;t work forever. Eventually you'll feel an overhwelming urge to finish what you started. So you will. And that will be that.
I think scientists have recently discovered that sex is a good thing. I think it was some time in the paleolithic.
I don't have a bf lol :P But I woudl say it's a bit late for that. I have learned a few lessons though...
I need therapy! Sex isn't what it's cracked up to be. I don't wanna have sex on my wedding night if it's gonna hurt.

How do you know?

So you're planning on having it earlier?

Sex is all it's cracked up to be. Probably just not your first time. Not that it's necessarily bad, either, in fact I'd bet for most people it's still pretty fun, even the first time. I know it was for me, and I'm pretty sure it was for my wife too. That's undoubtedly thanks to the fact that I'd read some books about sex before the wedding. They were Christian or Mormon books, but still helped me have a clue going into the honeymoon.
It is something one eventually gets the hang of, and radically improves in, especially if an open mind is had, and one has a clue. Unnecessary inhibitions and hangups can be a limiting factor.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Not sure where Krose has his information, but I had mine verbally by my GML (ward mission leader) in the Aarau ward in approximately, I'd guess, Spring of 1989.
