"The Great War" (In Your Pants)
Unintentionally pathetically funny video out of Brigham Young University comparing masturbation to war.
I love the guy with the binoculars (apparently watching the wanker wanking).
Paul Szoldra posts at Business Insider:
A video from the Housing and Student Living Office of Brigham Young University-Idaho is using war imagery to warn students about the perils of masturbation.The video, first posted to YouTube in December but recently found by Raw Story, is titled "Wounded on the Battlefield," and starts with a voiceover from University President Kim B. Clark, who describes the "great war" against masturbation as a "battle" against an "enemy" that is "cruel, ruthless, and relentless."
...Essentially, the message of the video is that if you don't tell your roommate to stop masturbating (or tell the university), it's like leaving him wounded to die on the battlefield.
"In our modern society, the enemy has spread fear of getting involved when someone's in trouble, and has fostered a social stigma against people who speak up in the face of evil," Clark says over ominous background music. "The enemy whispers, 'Don't get involved. It's not your problem.'"
At least they didn't say that masturbation is like Kristallnacht.

"Evil"?
Brigham, please.

"We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother."
Or Big Church. Big Jesus. Big Allah. Whichever.

Do these people expect to be taken seriously?
Of course they do.

I guess I'm old enough to remember religious institutions pushing religious doctrines as being normal.

Everytime you maturbate, god kills a kitten is much more effective if you ask me.

Well, perhaps if every man had 55 wives just like Brigham Young did, there would certainly be no need for masturbation. (Surely someone's got to be in the mood.)

And also, there was a study in which they looked for 20-somethings who had never masturbated. They couldn't find any.
Whether you become an addict is not due to the substance or practice but whether, as Fred Woolverton points out in Unhooked: How to Quit Anything, you are using a substance to escape legitimate adult suffering.
Here's my show with him:

Really? pardon me, I'll be in my bunk.
Wut? I can't say I have a great fondness for cats, unless they're a good mouser. Of course, that's why rat terriers were born...

"And also, there was a study in which they looked for 20-somethings who had never masturbated. They couldn't find any."
That's like the old joke: "Studies show that 90% of the population masturbates, and the other 10% are liars."

I find it interesting that toward the end of the video the friend who helped him out has introduced him to these creatures called "girls", even two of them. I guess that could be a better alternative.
Also, I hope in the spirit of equality they also do a video using women as those who masturbate. just sayin'

I know everyone views this as a joke. But it isnt
I cant tell you how many mormons I knew who married the first person to come along cause they couldnt wait anymore to have sex. More than half the girls in my freshman dorm dumped their boyfrieds "who I'm gonna marry once he gets back from his mission" so they could marry the first return missionary they'd know for about a month.
Any one ever read The Time Machine? Recall that the Eloi noticed nothing distressing that happened to anyone other than themselves.
Its very simmilar in Utah. You can hear some people fighting, you pretend it doesnt occur, you see the lack of light and warmth behind their eyes and their smiles. The kids talk, but most of em grow up and repeat the pattern of their parents marrying people they arent compatible with, venting their frustration out in to productivity for ward and community projects.
I cnat for the life of me comprehend how Utah is not #1 in the nation for mass shootings

Your comment made me laugh lujlp. I mean it because I noticed that too. I'd go bananas.
I had a Mormon friend who was an in the closet not yet accepting lesbian. Her father was a professor at BYU (I think).
She would tell me all her fantasizes about women and then try to convert me to Mormonism.
She was really conflicted. It hurt to hear her talk cuz you know I was too busy sucking cock and having no qualms about it.

Reminds me of the famous poet May Swenson (1913–1989) - praised by Harold Bloom, to boot. Her partner was the sports poet and YA Zan novelist R.R. (Rozanne Ruth) Knudson. They were both Mormons.
From Knudson's 2008 obituary:
It was at York that Ms. Knudson’s writing career began. She had assembled an anthology of sports poetry in an effort to spark the interest of her students. When she suggested to an editor that she put together another collection, she was told: “No, I want you to write me a sports novel. There aren’t any women writing about women athletes.”
