Those temptress women whose sexual intrigue drags the priesthood right out of men... According to the Young Womens General President at the big pre-conferece broadcast.

"Being a guardian of virtue means that you will never text words or images to young men that may cause them to lose the Spirit, lose their priesthood power or lose their virtue.

I'm thinking that if she had her way, Burkas would be on the agenda, so that men would be better protected.

I found this because a Bishops wife on fb posted how wonderful and inspired the leaders were after watching it. So I went to see what she found so wonderful.

Perhaps she likes knowing that she has so much sexiness inside, that if she lets it loose, even the supposed priesthood doesn't stand a chance!

It might make women feel powerful?

I wouldn't want MY teenage daughter (mine are all grown now) to text nude pics of herself to a boy.

Yep it's all the girls fault. Causing men to lose their virtue. (rolling eyes)

I happen to think it's good sensible advice on this occasion. TBMs will love it that leaders are so in tune with the young folk and the evils they face - but regardless of this, I think any parent will be pleased to hear it. There's a lot of immature and impressionable girls out there that could easily be caught up in a dare and then live to regret it.

I'm thinking that you are missing the part where it is the girls fault if the boy looks at it and loses his priesthood.

If a boy's supposed priesthood was so important, 1000 nude images wouldn't make him do something to lose it.

It seems that teaching mormon young women that they will be perceived as easy or some other such negative jugement, and that may make getting a quality guy more difficult. So perhaps it isn't wise to do; and who knows where the photos will end up, and setting yourself up to be blackmailed, etc. etc. Would be the better justification for trying to prevent it.

Rather than prevent it so that your temptress ways don't suck the priesthood right out of the helpless victim male.

Bet you a $1,000 that in the priesthood session they don't tell the guys not to do it because the helpless women will be harmed, and it will all be the guys fault.

The advice to not text inappropriate stuff is excellent

The idea it's all the girl's fault if a boy loses his priesthood power because HE is tempted is medieval. That sort of thinking leads to burkas.

Exactly

The news clip I saw(haven't seen a full transcript, nor will I) made it seem like it was all about what it will do to the guy. None of it was about how it might damage her. It was all about protecting the guy.

Isn't that kind of like teaching a girl to make sure the guy uses a condom so that HE won't get a disease from her? Rather than using it for her own protection?

Ok DNA, the slant on it just to protect the guy is admittedly odd. These sisters in general leadership callings know that it's all about the PH.... Barf!

I had a very nice woman try to suck the priesthood right out of me. I miss her. ;)

Just sayin'...

Ron

I had a really nasty woman succeed in sucking the priesthood out of me. She was able to suck it out right through the smallest hole in my body too!

Agreed. I don't understand the problem that some of you have. When you're young, you're typically horny as hell, nothing wrong with sending scandelous picts of oneself to another. If you're going to eat a hamburger, eat the hell out of it. Praise the sweet name of "Bob"!

Bob enriches our lives as well.

Just sayin'...

Ron

Have you seen Susan I/S in her dominatrix outfit? I'm telling you this woman knows what she talking about.

Noway!

I sincerely hope my daughters do not send provocative pictures or messages to boys - however, when they are mature and involved in adult relationships they should be encouraged to do adult things that their partner may enjoy.

As for the idea that men must be protected from women - I was raised to believe that we are responsible for our own thoughts and actions. No matter how sexy the woman sitting next to me I am responsible for my depraved thoughts. Sometimes, despite our differences, Mrs Truthseeker appreciates my depraved thoughts and the actions that follow.

Leave it to the Mormon Church to teach something stupid and shaming about sex when it has the opportunity to teach something sensible. Another problem with sexting among underage teens is some district attorneys will charge them with producing and distributing child pornography if they are caught. I think this is utterly ridiculous, cruel, and a perversion what the law intends, but it happens.

How about: Girls, don't send nude pics of yourself to anyone. Remember that once you do that, you have no control over what happens to the picture. It could easily end up on the internet, available for everyone to see. For your own protection and peace of mind, don't do that.

This is just one more example of how sexist the Mormon church still is.

Isn't the Licked Cupcake lesson enough?

They didn't do the licked cupcake lesson for us guys. It would bring up too many tempting visuals!

That age-old chestnut of blaming women for male transgressions. How depressing. If the intended male audience had a bit more priesthood power such nasty comments wouldn't be needed.

Wacked out on painkillers and alcohol, a middle aged man (William H. Macy) ends up having sex with a teenage girl who is trying to get even with her father for calling her a whore at a purity ball (and not giving her the promised car). After he realizes what happened, he rants away in a bar about what a constant struggle it is for men to keep from jumping all the young hotties, what with the way they dress and act, yadda yadda yadda.

If they really want burkas there's a place online to order them, if those assholes want to contact me, hee hee.

Geez--why don't they give some GOOD advice to young women....like if you send boob shots make sure no identifying marks/jewelry/clothing are visible.

As a veteran of boob photocopying in the 80s and 90s, I can say that if they can't prove it was your boobs, not much anyone can do. And if you have a nice rack, nothing to be ashamed off.

Now that I am 50, I WISH I had some good photos (or some of those photo copies) of my boobs in my prime.....

Last I remember, there were some in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland and Texas. Can't tell you where they went from there....

I'm a 48 AA! Deal with it. ;)

I'll bet you ARE still in your prime, Raven! ;o))

I thought something similar when I read this. I commented that I'm sure the men never get this talk.

But I often thought this when I watched this mormon girl (can't think oh her name now--Huff?) who dances with her brother on "Dancing with the Stars". There were a fewtimes when I thought 'whether is she'll wearing a thong and pastries anytime soon.

When she danced with her than country singer BF, she wore what looked like a black corsett only and afterwards he said "I'm SO turned on" and I thought "very tempting, eh"
I could see her using that to get him to convert before marrying and see the rest (garmies---hahaha).

I guess it didn't turn out that way. She looked a bit embarrassed when old Bruno told her that her outfit was for the bedroomand not the ballroom. I wondered if someone in the morg called her aside after that one.

Anyway, even it's not fair to make women responsible for that as it takes 2 to tango, but it crossed my mind in that particular case.

When I saw the following quote, reported in the local newspaper, I thought to myself, they are making it the responsibility of the female if the male loses his priesthood...this is ridiculous! I've heard this song before. They keep repeating it generation after generation.
"Being a guardian of virtue means that you will never text words or images to young men that may cause them to lose the Spirit, lose their priesthood power or lose their virtue."

These girls don't need to feel any more guilt and blame for something that isn't their problem to begin with! The guys will "lose their priesthood" on their own, and 99% do.

Hey mor[m]on leaders, put the blame where the blame lies, IT'S THE HORMONES. BTW- there is nothing wrong with hormones.

Maybe they should think that the men might be giveing the girls ideas in the first place...

Perhaps the guys should get a talk like this.
