Stormin', I took the liberty of copying your poll and adding gender options to it.

I did get asked the morally clean question, but no specifics.

And I never considered masturbation to be not morally clean, but then I don't think they harp on that in YW like they may have done to the YM.
I don't recall it ever being discussed.

Nope, me neither. They didn't worry about you touching yourself--it was not letting the boys touch you.

At least they're consistent here, in YM we were often told to keep our hands off the YW. :wink:

To be fair, if taught right this is a valuable lesson. In particular the meaning of the word "NO", and the various ways the word my be said. I also think an honest explanation of the consequences of sexual intimacy would have been useful.

The "Strength of Youth" pamphlet that I remember didn't have anything about women at all. Just young men.
