So you can learn to do it more efficiently? Secretly? More frequently?
As hung up as Mormons are about it, I can imagine someone has been so tormented with guilt that they have asked a Priesthood leader for a blessing to help them overcome such a sin.
I'm thinking along the lines of blessing the act . . . via the keys of the Priesthood--- outlining the proper time, place, way and order
“It is necessary that every act performed under this [priesthood] authority shall be done at the proper time and place, in the proper way, and after the proper order. The power of directing these labors constitutes the keys of the Priesthood” (Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed. [1939], 136).
They give blessings for absolutely ANYthing, anything you ask for. Mostly, when you're having a issue (no pun), the bishop gives you a "bishop's blessing," just laying his hands on your head, like your dad might do.
Those desiring the gift of masturbation are to gather in a circle outside the bishop's office. The bishop is then to lay his hands upon each member and say, "I bless you that your calling and erection are made sure."
yes, it must happen more often than you would think. I was a teen once who asked a bishop for help conquering the sin next to murder. He gave me a blessing.
