Why do some Mormons get flustered when...?

Question

... They see a tampon commercial?
... An attractive woman is wearing a bikini on TV?
... They see the underwear section of the weekly ads?
... Feminine itch cream commercials come on TV?
... They see someone that obviously isn't wearing a bra?
... When people cuss in Movies?
... During very minimal sex scenes?

Answer 1

Tampons- Who cares?
Bikini- Just because you have it doesn't mean you have to flaunt it- but I don't get flustered when I see it on TV I do get flustered when I see a little girl wearing a bikini though- especially in public- I think that is just asking for problems. Also I get flustered when I go to buy a new suit and all I can find are two pieces.
Underwear ads- whatever I don't care most are not that risque. The Victoria Secret Fashion Show- that is just soft Porn- nothing more.
Someone not wearing a bra- that is just wrong- I don't think it is a religious thing. It just does not look good.
When people Cuss- It sounds very uneducated and sloppy to use cuss words. We try to teach our children to use good language.
During sex scenes- People used to be just fine in watching love stories that did not involve sex scenes- why do we need that now. We really don't need to see that. It is not a necessary part of the story. We could tell the story just fine without it. We see Sex as something sacred to be kept between a husband and a wife.

Answer 2

Okay...
...when I see a tampon commercial because I already know what brand I like and no amount of skinny dipping in white ginch is going to convince me that "the braid makes me brave".
...when an attractive woman is wearing a bikini because, well, I'll admit, I'm jealous that I don't have a bikini body...not that I'd wear one. A tankini, yes. A thong, no.
...underwear section of ads because they are just too darned expensive! Come on! $50 for a bra??? That's just highway robbery!
...feminine itch cream because...well, have YOU had feminine itch? It's not fun. And it really sucks if you are ALLERGIC to the cream. Yeah, that bites!
...not wearing a bra, I refer you to the underwear ads...I paid $50 for this stinking bra and she's not wearing one. I could have SAVED $50! I hate getting ripped off!
...when people cuss in movies because my kids won't let me. True story!
...during minimal sex scenes because I keep thinking "dang, my husband is working and this could be me! Man I wish he'd come home so I could have some married-people-fun too!"

Now, I'm noticing that all your "flusterations" are female-based...something a little Freudian here? Maybe a problem with your mother?

Answer 3

Mormons have such high standards and are asked to avoid sin like the plague.

Why do Mormons claim that they do not want that "filth" in there homes, but then are willing to own and watch a t.v? I don't know.

Mormons would do better living in an Amish like community, where that "filth" doesn't have a chance to be seen by there sensitive eyes, and heard by there sensitive ears

They live in a first world community, and then freak out whenever they have first world temptations.

However, by some of the "i don't get flustered" and "I don't care" responses above, I fear that the Mormons are becoming desensitized. Devout Mormons should always become flustered whenever they witness sin.

Answer 4

Some Mormons do. Most don't. What you're trying to do here is unfairly stereotype Mormons.

How many do you actually know personally?

Over the years I've been able to get to know quite a few of them (I'm a Unitarian, by the way), some were neighbors, co-workers or fellow servicemen and women, and my guess would be that the percent that get upset about such things is the same as any other normal Christian group (and, yes, Mormons are also very much Christians, too).

In fact, they would be less likely to get upset than many fundamentalists like members of the Church Of Christ or Seventh Day Adventist or Amish.

Answer 5

Because they're taught against that kind of stuff; that some things just don't belong on tv. To a point, I agree. I used to get really uncomfortable watching tv that had minimal sex scenes in it when my ex-boyfriend's son was nearby.

Answer 6

Ex-mormon here...
1. my brother thought one was a firecracker and went around the neighborhood twirling it in the air, until I noticed and stopped him
2. alot of mormon women are chubby after marriage (just like some military spouces I know), could also be they are very strict about any sexual referances, my mom taught me about my period and then the rest I read in a book she gave me, that was the extent of our sexual lesson
3. samething, mormons are very strict about sex, but my dad had the national geographic around with the naked villagers and my mom had the naughty romance novels, I couldn't talk about it.
4. its a referance to a sexual part of the body. Again too hyped up about any referance to sex. sex is hush, hush.
5. when I was a teen, I wasn't aloud to see "R" movies. No one wants to become desensatized to sex or violence and the mormons are overly sensative about sexual matters, thats why its hush, hush.
6. mormons are suppose to look good and having a potty mouth does not look good on a mormon nor do they want their virgin ears to hear it, besides the more a person hears it, the more they will eventually say it.
7. Again the stigma of sex, as a bad thing, maybe even in some mormon marriages.

Answer 7

I wasn't raised Morman, but my mother sure fits the bill about becoming flustered like a Mormon.

They feel uncomfortable exposing themselves to worldly sin. Their minds will become tainted when too much exposure occurs. That's why they're flustered.

Answer 8

Maybe it's just my generation, but there are some things even *I* don't really want to know about regarding femine care....I hate going 'shopping' for my daughters, too...

How come no one's come up with a really good fart-supression formula?

Answer 9

Same reason many conservative people get "flustered" at the same things.

Are those things that you would enjoy watching with Jesus Christ at your side? Think he'd think that all those things were just fine and dandy???

Answer 10

I heard the Mormons have a special kind of underwear. The person who told me was serious. She also said that it was a big church secret that they did not want non-believers to know about. What's the deal with this?
