This is a great thread, Es! I've really enjoyed reading the "experiences" here. So "upbuilding" and "encouraging"!
As a post script to my story, my mother told me about part of her interview with the elders. Basically, the exchange that cracks me up the most went something like this:
PO: So, have you and your partner had the hot, passionate, lesbian sex?
Mom: I'm not going to answer that question.
Elder #1: Your not going to answer? How dare you!
Elder #2: Tell us this, then: have you and your partner kissed?
Mom: Brothers, I've kissed every one of your wives.
----------
According to my mother, that stopped them cold!
Again, thanks for a great thread, Es! Love ya back!
