am i being leveled or is this legit? if so, i wish your brother the best, sounds like a pretty rough thing to be going through. i understand it is humanly possible to not masturbate, but seriously how many guys could honestly pull it off? how many guys age 15? i am not sure if you offered me million dollars (or even eternal happiness in the afterlife) to live up to the sexual standards of the LDS church for one year if i could do it. i certainly couldn't keep the constant impure thoughts out of my head.

I’ve actually brought this point up before on this forum. I’m not leveling anyone here. This is my number one gripe against any religion. If you preach this garbage, somebody is going to take it seriously, and there will be harmful consequences. I suppose most ministers don’t think twice about preaching against things like the evils of masturbation, because the vast, vast majority of people just ignore such trash.
