By making a normal aspect of sexual development into a sin Mormonism can cause a great deal of psychological damage.
Take the tragic case of Kip Eliason, age 16, who had need told he should feel guilt and self-hate. This dangerous nonsense was handed out by Church authority figures with no training in child psychology.
Kip couldn't cope and killed himself.
http://www.affirmation.org/suicide_info/sin_and_death_in_mormon_country.shtmlI had hoped that this had improved but only recently I came across a mormon "SpeckCipher" commenting on a youtube video (which was on a different topic - mormon fraud!) comparing masturbation with crystal meth abuse or jumping off a cliff. Any bishop who counsels that the youngster should feel guilt is correct according to this guy, whatever the consequences.
Made be feel physically sick.
