AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This brief article is a plea for the Mormon Church to develop a unified approach to the sexual education and needs of their members. It contains few specifics, but instead provides some anecdotes to illustrate the problems of young Mormons in making decisions about sex, and encourages the Church to take a positive stand on birth control for married couples.
