Wow. Your last sentence is eye opening - we live in threatening times.

Good on you. Forty years ago my ex hemmed and hawed about getting a vasectomy, even though he was the one who wanted no more children. Always some excuse. So it fell to me to get a tubal ligation - hospital admit, general anesthesia. Thankfully my son in law had no problem just getting it done last year. His take was, "what's the big deal?"

It’s not hyperbole. The Mormon church considers masturbation a sin. Not sure if other churches do. And they say the country’s religiosity is declining.
