Stake Conf. Topic: Sexaul Intimacy - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

The SP was the concluding speaker during the Saturday evening adult only session and his topic was Sexual Intimacy. Difficult for anyone to address this topic in a Church setting. I don't recall all of what he said, but, my take on his remarks is simple, be nice and you will get more action.

Interestingly, he mentioned that this topic will be further addressed in future RS meetings in all wards in the stake, but, no mention was made of following up in the Priesthood meetings.

Why the follow up with the RS and not the Priesthood? Any Ideas?

Yes because men aren't typically the sexual camels in the relationship.

Don't you think sexual desire (or lack thereof) is fairly deep-rooted? I'm curious to see how helpful a talk in RS will be.

It won't be. Guilt is not an aphrodisiac.

I agree. Will this become the equivalent of the men's Pornography talk? I'm imagining the elderly ladies in R.S. looking supremely uncomfortable in the back row.

If it's handled in the sense that lack of sexual desire is a condition that can lead to problems and requires professional help, it may be beneficial. I somehow don't see it going down like that, however.

Maybe I'm being cynical. Wouldn't be the first time.

Conversely, I am purposely NOT trying to imagine the elderly ladies in R.S.

Maybe they have finally identified the reason the pornography talk is needed and are opening another front on the war against porn. I'm only half kidding.

Very astute. I'm not certain what religious leaders should actually do, if anything.

My only suggestion is to take away guilt for having these feelings and encourage adults to understand, even as youth, that it's part of being human. The goal should be to encourage healthy relationships, and a healthy interchange requires healthy relationships.

Frankly, I don't know another way to handle it.
