In Mormonism, teen boys are the administrators of communion. But not boys who confess to masturbation. They are banned from doing so. Whenever someone sees a boy not participating in the ceremony, they know why it is. I have seen lives ruined by the shame this engenders.
For decades, the LDS church has distributed a book called "The Miracle of Forgiveness" which teaches that masturbation turns you gay. Boys were encouraged to read a loathsome pamphlet called "To Young Men Only" which sanctions violence against gays https://archive.org/details/ToYoungMenOnly …
Girls, meanwhile, are taught weekly through chanting repetition of a "Young Women Theme" to obsess over (straight) marriage. It's a modern outgrowth of the abusive practices early LDS women endured in polygamy. Some were even forced to engage in polyamory.
Though not commonly known, polygyny (commonly mistakenly referred to as "polygamy") is actually still practiced in the LDS church. Widowers are actually allowed to marry another woman and be considered "sealed" in heaven.
I could go on forever, but I'll save that for my forthcoming memoir on my Mormon past.
My heart goes out to everyone who has been damaged by toxic religious teachings.

There is so much physical and mental sexual abuse in Mormonism that you could write multiple books about it. But this is an important and relevant corollary to what I wrote above. Adults are often subjected to "worthiness" interviews. One woman's story:https://twitter.com/WhiteBrowedGirl/status/1397767866028466176 …
The beauty of LDS theology is that those things can simply be chalked up to president Kimball and elder Packer speaking as men. No problemo!
To quote my Mormon friend
"Oh my Hell" rather telling after reading all of this 
Little factory…!
the miracle of forgiveness also teaches that victims of sexual assault are unclean. i was made to repent for being molested by a priesthood holder
An interesting biblical fact. The sin of Onan, was used as a way to shame people away from masturbation. But Onan’s sin wasn’t masturbation, it was coitus interrupts. While having sex w/his brother’s widow, as required by Jewish law, he pulled out before ejaculating. Sinful.
“interruptus” — Autocorrect has an anti-Latin bias. Cancel culture run amok.
