So as a 19 year old kid going through the temple the first time, I literally got horny seeing the presumed naked eve. Hell, she's hot! Anyone else have this experience?
I didn't get the erection, but I was wondering what was going on. The thought was going through my mind that eve was going to be naked at some point or that we were going to see Adam and Eve fuck. And somehow it would be holy because it is in the temple and not porn. This was early 90s and the blonde eve. Black haired eve was hot too. Also blonde eve's lipstick was a little messed up and it bothered me every time I saw that film. After seeing it so many freaking times, you notice all the crap that they messed up. Or I'd analyze the production of it. Like when satan comes out of hiding by standing up and the camera angle kind of works for the viewers, but God is levitating above the rock, so he is not really hiding from God, just the audience or camera. Or when Adam is throwing rocks in the puddle, then satan materializes after the ripples disappear, that's just cheesy.
The whole getting naked except for the shield, the creepy & crusty old dude "annointing" me under the shield, the absurd outfit, the fig leaf apron, the handshakes, the bakers hat...
Seriously, I'm way too straight-laced for that to have anything but the opposite effect of your experience. My civilly-married wife and I were sealed that same day and I'm pretty sure that we didn't consummate that <ahem> joyous event that night. The first words out of my mouth to her walking to the car were "Uh... I don't think I ever want to do that again." She said nothing.
I've been to the temple three times. With luck I'll die before #4.
I have not experienced an erection while there. However, I have fantasized about masturbating in the Celestial Room. A little splooge drying on the arm of one of those white couches would really spiff the place up, IMO.
Would someone mind explaining what exactly happens when one goes through the temple? I left the church before I ever had to do so, and from some of these comments I couldn't be happier that I missed it... I've asked a few TBMs but they have just said it was weird and that one couldn't understand all that happened...
I got one walking down the street the other day. I was looking for that thread that mentions men's pop-ups but couldn't find it, and then it went away, so I thought I'd mention it here. Nothing special. These things happen. Spirits
It was " Why does Gawd give us boners" by Sunpeep, 25 September. I remember it; it was funny hearing men actually complain for once about a part of their body , they couldn't control. Some of them deserve it, ha ha, poor things. Like I said , a quick kick there would take care of the problem. I rather just worry about my weight anytime.
I don't recall ever popping a woody over Eve, although I wouldn't be surprised if I did. It didn't take much to get my little soldier to stand at attention back then.
It's all so hilarious to me now. I remember getting turned on by Eve and feeling like the worst person in the world for having unclean thoughts in the house of the Lard.
I guess I wasn't alone. Also, I saw phallic symbols in the trim and the decor. Another warped thing about me. But again, I probably wasn't alone there either.
The funny thing is that I put such pressure on myself to focus on the ceremony and to keep my thoughts pure, that it probably had exactly the opposite effect.
