profxm, March 27, 2013March 23, 2013

I’ve been working on a research project examining official Mormon discourse over the last 40 years or so and came across a reference to some anti-porn videos produced by the Church in the 1980s.  Has anyone ever heard of these videos?  And, even better, does anyone have copies they would…

Mormon Trolls, Gorgons and Orcs, and Being Tired of Good People

Holly, March 8, 2013March 8, 2013

Currently the most posted story in my Facebook feed is this excellent NY Times op-ed from Ta-Nehisi Coates, entitled “The Good, Racist People.”  Coates uses the recent frisking of Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker as an opportunity to analyze the racism of “good” people: In modern America we believe racism to…

Recently there has been much talk surrounding a YW leader who is unfortunately threatened of having her temple recommend withdrawn if she does not leave the room or cover herself while breastfeeding at church meetings.

Oh boobs!

Apparently, some Mormons are getting really upset about women breastfeeding in church.  Props to the women who are fighting this ignorance, and double props for the cool name: Latter-day Lactivists.  What’s the big deal? Now, I used to be uncomfortable around women who were breastfeeding when I was hormonal teenager,…

Is sweetness next to Goddessliness?

Leah, January 20, 2013January 25, 2013

The topic of wet dreams came up with a never-Mormon friend, and I told him, “You’ve just got to check out this ridiculous talk one of the Church leaders gave in the 1970s!” I found the link to Boyd Packer’s “Little Factory” talk and sent it to my friend. I’d…

Mitt Romney’s secret double life – porn actor and pederast

profxm, October 5, 2012

A parody porn company has made a porno featuring a Mitt Romney look alike. The set up is that there is a secret secret order in the Mormon Church called Videntium Oraculi, or the True Order of the Priesthood, that practices ordination by insemination.” I didn’t watch it, but someone…

Mormons love pseudo prostitution?

profxm, September 22, 2012

City Weekly SLC has a great story on the sugar daddy phenomenon and how popular it is in Utah. While Utah isn’t #1 in most categories, it ranks in the top 20 on several. Interestingly, lots of the sugar babies are Mormon – 71% of the users in Utah are…
