If you were older, then it was easy to miss the church's new direction in the early 1980s. I think it was pressed upon leaders that sins of the youth would be upon the heads of the leaders if they weren't probing enough. My bishop routinely asked awful questions. I think it easily led to gross perceptions of love and sex; very harmful.
The film was called Morality for Youth.
An accident on a youth rafting trip is used to illustrate the dangers of flirting with immorality.
Includes audio of LDS Church President Spencer W. Kimball urging against masturbation as it can lead to "exhibitionism" and "the gross sin of homosexuality".
This film was part of a major undertaking by the Church to educate their youth better about proper sexual conduct and was not made or displayed lightly. The presentation included a booklet for leaders to use to guide group conversation after watching the film (this booklet can be seen at the following link:

I won't link it up because I don't want anyone to be easily triggered.
