My sister was asked by her bishop if she masturbated before she was old enough to know what the word meant. Her husband (who is not LDS) has been so horrified by this story he will NEVER set foot in the church or allow his kids to be baptized. I was a student at BYU when I confessed to my bishop that I had made out with a boyfriend (looking back it was harmless but I had been taught to confess everything). My bishop wanted to know what body parts had been involved, whether contact had been made over or under clothing, and if I had experienced an orgasm. This type of conversation between a 19 year old girl and a 40-something-man is inappropriate on every level.
