LOL!! Mormon Missionaries! They were up by my place a few weeks ago in Wedgewood. Both were kinda cute when they approached me to tell me about Jesus Christ. (on the freakin' sidewalk no less) I told them, let's come to my place and talk about that bulge in your pants mission boy.

They want to convert me then I am going to make them gay!

So what's the average gay guy opinion of the Mormon male uniform? Does it possess any fetish factor, ala the catholic schoolgirl uniform?

@JC, Screw the uniform. It is just covering up the good stuff!!!

Batshit crazy? Sure...but no more so than most every other religion. :-)

It's a sign! I just watched "Latter Days" last night, and saw this post this morning... obviously I should go find myself a cute mormon boy to corrupt.

There's no way that the Mormon church would endorse that calendar or commercial. Plus they have enough money to do better than that, AND missionaries are 19-21 and those dudes are older than that. Those folks are selling wolf tickets.

And did they pay Annie Lennox to use her music? would she have said yes?

When I clicked on "comments" I was sure SOMEBODY would have made at least one snarky joke about Gay Mormons and the missionary position. You people disappoint me.

I love how the site it points to could be either MormonsExposed.com or MormonSexPosed.com. Clever, you tricky Mormons.

Okay, I admit, I'd grudge-fuck just about any one of them. Or the two Mormon boys who knocked on my door last week.

Also, apparently Mormons are white bread only. Who knew?

They should have used Annie Lennox's Who's That Girl? instead.

I think the Mormons believe that the darker races are inferior, having their own sort of original sin, though I'm kinda vague on that.

I remember in early on in army basic training, our black drill instructor grilled the lone Mormon kid in our platoon about it. He basically became the platoon bitch for the rest of basic training.

#17

dark skin = extra evil.

It use to be in the Book of Mormon but they removed it because it was obviously offensive.

Its nice how you can edit a so-called "holy" book.

@4: maybe a little. Just a little. And watching "Latter Days" ups the appeal a bit.

12 hot men plus roughly 60 wives equals about 500 new Mormons. We are just a generation or so away from the missionary man daily calendar. Yeehaw!

does the Book of Mormon outlaw chest hair?

@21 - they also had to alter the thing about menstruation=abortion to ward off the pedophile police.

First - Batshit crazy is the Catholic church. Eating the flesh, geez. Calling children, babies, sinners, geez.

But arguing theology or even the why of churches and the devoted is not my purpose.

The Mormon missionary system is brilliant. It take young men and gives them a ritual of passage doing community service.

The same concept of Ameri corps or the Peace corps. It is the strength of the Mormon church. Trial by fire and learning your own skills and organizing you own life out of range of family and competing interests.

Most will tell you they are the best years of their lives.

And, just to set the record clearly, there is a lot of sex play between the guys. From flirting and fantasy to doing it all night long.

About the same as the Air Force, having done a stint in both. Often held hands with companions, had lots of sex. And was never reprimanded or otherwise censored during a three year mission.

The Mormon garment that is so often mentioned is a full one piece affair, shoulder to knee, and in nylon is SO very silky. All Mormon men and women who are devout wear them.

And, as in the case with matters of religion, Mormons could care less what others think.

#1 - You are correct - if they have not paid big bucks they cannot use that music - it really isn't Annie's style to let crass calendar sales use her music.

She is one of the coolest, but the song is a signature and worth millions and millions for commercial purposes.

Coffman, go grab a client.

It's almost as gay as Playgirl.

I don't think the Mormon Church created this because as @8 said, they would never condone this. From reading the website, I didn't find any charities 'from around the world' that are supposed to benefit from this calendar. Also, the MySpace account doesn't exist anymore.

@26: I've been suspicious of the Mormons ever since a Mormon kid I knew who seemed reasonably decent went off on his "mission" and came back a raging homophobe. I don't know what kind of brainwashing he got out there but it sure turned him conservative in a hurry.

I'm sure it's some sort of scam, but regardless, I'm with #6. Those Latter Day Saints are just as bizarro as any other religion. There's racism, sexism, and non-sensical rules to almost every religion. (Celibacy, no pork, thing on your head, no thing on your head, do this on this day, women can do this, but not that, do this other thing 5 times a day, ashes on your forehead (!), etc.) We're so familiar with these rules that they don't seem unusual anymore, but they are completely random and just for people to feel some structure in there lives.

At least the missionaries get to leave home and see the world. A friend of mine is LDS and he still remembers and uses the Cantonese he learned for his mission to Hong Kong in 1989. Pretty cool.

@30: Oh, sure. I don't think the LDS is any more bizarre than any other organized religion. It's just more recent, so we're less used to it.

No question there are cute Mormons. I see it a lot. But so what?

Here's an example of when cute does not equal sexy. It's not unlike the discomfort of being with someone gorgeous who all of a sudden starts taking about "niggers and kikes." In other words, it completely kills it.

Of course they love their missions - it's the only vacation they ever get! After they get married, pop out 6 kids, and tithe they can never afford to go on vacation.

@26- missions are only two years and if you got caught folling around with your companion, your mission pres. would have had an aneurysm and there would have been an endless and unfun parade of church counselling sessions. and garments have been two-peicers for years. fantasy indeed.

anyway, my lil bro is about to leave on his mission (uh, im very non-practicing) maybe i'll let him know about this so he can have something to keep him busy after he gets back. thanks for the heads up.
