I remember reading some time ago of a Mormon apostle addressing a crowd at General Conference or elsewhere boasting that he had never seen his wife naked. Anyone here remember this who can supply his name and where one could find the text of this speech?

It would be better if he never saw HIMSELF naked.

He doesn't know what skin is and he ain't got much depth!

When I first read that some years ago my first thought was "well ain't he an uber pios, self righteous, better than all of us asshole!" WTF is the point of falling in love and getting married if you can't get naked with yer ol' lady?

I wish ALL "GA" (ha!) speeches were published, thus making denial impossible:

Moon Quakers.

I never saw my wife nude
People will never visit the moon

Blacks can have a Cadillac if they can afford it.

etc.

What an asshole for announcing his very private and personal sex life to whomever was listening. If his wife had trouble getting naked in front of him, can you imagine how incredibly humiliated she must have been to have that detail announced to the world!?

I feel so sorry for her. She was married to a real jerk. No wonder she never let him have a peek. He obviously would have told the entire world about it.

Why would you let your worst critic see you naked?

I was also thinking how disrespectful this was to his wife. It would instantly make everyone imagine his wife being naked, and wonder what the issue was.

How creepy to talk about his sex life (or lack thereof) in public.

I've read of evangelical Christian couples who only "congugated the verb" in a dark bedroom with towels under the door to shut out all light because to see each other's nakedness was a sin. Beyond fucking stupid.

I think it was Mark E. Peterson. Same guy that stapled the Song of Solomon shut because it was porn.

Yup, it was Peterson. Source? No idea. Might be an article in a book?

Mark E Peterson must have repeated this story multiple times in different places. I remember it from a stake conference in Europe in the sixties.

I vaguely remember another remark he made about sex education. He said that he managed to have (I forget how many) children without having any sex education.

I've been married twice, and I have to say that if you don't see your wife naked, it's because you don't want to.

I hoped it might have been at BYU in 1965 or something, but no such luck. So no published text. It was at a stake conference in Seattle in 1975, and in the context of an anti-oral-sex campaign!

Wearing garments during sexual activity appears to have died out between 1972 and 1979, although there were probably shriveled holdouts haranguing their great-grandchildren for another 20 years. And the prohibition on oral sex rose to one last climax in 1981, and then, after some controversy, Eldon Tanner scolded any bishops who had transmitted his previous advice to the gullible members!

Mark E. Peterson, but when you see his wife, you understand why he said what that...just kidding.

see the link above. Yes, it was Mark E Peterson speaking to us on May 25, 1975, the day I was ordained an elder. He was speaking in Bellevue, WA and his wife was back home in SLC. And as I recall further, apostle Peterson almost seemed to be setting himself above others....and a higher example of purity, since he had never seen wife unclothed. Amazing...

After he said that, I wonder how many wives felt guilty being naked in front of their husbands, how many husbands felt like sinners for looking at their wives naked. What a mindfuck that so-called apostle might have done to normal, decent people.
