Wholesome: YSA Ward Chastity Lesson Gone Right

Everyone knows that fifth Sunday law of chastity lessons usually go poorly. But today, we were lucky enough to sit in on the world’s most successful one yet, led by instructor Cassidy Lessen.

Lessen had the entire ward participating and asking meaningful, thought-provoking questions.

For example, Sabbath Day committee member Bear Soles asked, “Does the handbook say anything about feet?” However, Lessen declined to comment on the matter.

Those who weren’t asking questions were offering beautiful insights and sage advice.

“Somtimes, when I’m on a date, I try to think of her as an actual person. It’s just a cool trick I have to make it a little easier to be respectful or whatever,” said master dater Nick Moe.

But they weren’t looking to make it easy for their instructor. Several ward members challenged her with questions that did not have answers outlined in the handbook.

“What if someone was, like, on a date and he maybe hadn’t read the entire handbook beforehand and so he didn’t know he, say, wasn’t supposed to treat his date as an object to be used for lustful desires or like the part about the private, sacred parts of the body and stuff and maybe the date was, like, tempted by Satan and it was mostly her idea but the guy kind of went along with it even though it wasn’t his idea and then maybe he did end up kind of breaking the ‘four on the floor’ rule a little or something but he didn’t know and like it wasn’t even really his fault but maybe he’s just a little worried?” asked a concerned Bryson Dyson on behalf of a friend. Again, Lessen neglected to answer.

By the end, Lessen was so filled with the spirit that she was visibly holding back tears as she asked for a volunteer to say the closing prayer. She was later seen deleting all dating apps from her phone and looking up the nearest convent.
