..,,facing excommunication for acting like all-other non-Mormon sex therapists:
|
We had a Mormon "bishop" or whatever they call their local preachers living near us. He worked at the university and he and his wife went to a party type function. Someone fixed his wife a strong drink. I don't know if she didn't realize it was alcoholic or just didn't care, but apparently she was feeling no pain. The bishop said something about when they have their next child. His wife said: "you can tell that old boy at the temple in SLC I'm not having any more children; 6 is enough. The bishop said: Be still. You don't know what you are saying." That's all I remember from the tech who was at the party. I always wondered if she did have more children. She was a descendant of one of the original settlers according to the bishop. Gerry PS: The bishop often bugged me about becoming a Mormon and I asked him questions about how Mormonism actually works. He said contraceptives were a no-no so I asked him what a couple does when they have all the children they want. He said we just don't do sex. I thought "wow" and didn't say any more.

That wasn't true in the seventies in Idaho.? My friend's father was a bishop and the bishop and his wife used them. A Mormon neighbor called a Mormon plumber I knew to free a plugged pipe to the septic tank.? The pipe was clogged with used condoms. Ed

That was back in the late 50's or early 60's so they must have changed the rules later. They had no more children while they were living near us and I suspect the bishop was following the old rule since his personality changed. Before he was always cheerful and friendly but then he became solemn and disinclined to talk like he had before. With some people, sex is a big part of their married life according to what I've read about the sexual nature of people; Masters and Johnson for example. Have you ever read a book titled "All About Men"? It was written by a non-Mormon doctor practicing among Mormons and non-Mormons. It was a very good true-to-life bio. probably written about his life in the early 20th century.

I haven't read "All About Men," but that reminds me; I just finished reading a book about a wartime debate between George Orwell and Alex Comfort, who wrote "The Joy of Sex." ?The debate had nothing to do with sex, though. Ed

"Maybe they figured that title would sell a lot more books." Gerry
Not this one: "The Duty to Stand Aside: Nineteen Eighty-Four and the Wartime Quarrel of George Orwell and Alex Comfort" by Eric Laursen I had no idea who Alex Comfort was, or that one of his works was "The Joy of Sex." ?Comfort was a strange bird, but was involved in a range of interests.
I read the book because I know the author, and half-wonder if he was shooting for the" Bookseller/Diagram Prize for the Oddest Book Title of the Year."
The publisher is AK Press, ?an anarchist publishing house, which is also an interesting site to peruse, though I probably won't buy anything there.

No, these were garden-variety Mormons, six kids and all.? I didn't know that the church banned contraception then, but one father was a bishop and the other was rather devout. Ed
