A writer interviews 201 Mormons about their sex lives.
A time-traveling narrator witnesses these stories firsthand.
Nonfiction so shocking, you'll think it's fiction.
Raised to believe premarital sex is a sin second to murder, these current and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have kept their stories a secret for decades. Now, in the pages of this tell-all book, they’re opening up about their sins, their sexual traumas, their repressed sexual fantasies, and their taboo kinks.
Meet a Mormon dominatrix who belongs to a BDSM-fetish community; a woman who's never had sex with her husband of 13 years and remains a virgin; a teenage girl who was sent into hiding to have her baby in secret; a missionary who lost his virginity during his two-year LDS mission; an ex-Mormon exotic dancer whose family remains devoutly LDS; a 40-year-old virgin who grapples with his potentially permanent chastity; a husband who was excommunicated from the faith after "spiritually cheating" on his wife post-separation; a woman who lost her virginity to a threesome; and a professional Mormon sex coach who dares to promote sexual rituals her Church openly discourages.
The Missionary Position will make you feel like you're on the other end of a hushed phone call, as you listen to the stories usually reserved for religious leaders behind locked doors. More than a peephole, this collection of interviews is an invitation to transport back in time, with a time-traveling narrator as your guide. Don't just read about Mormon sex lives. Visit the hotel bathrooms, doctors' offices, backyard barbecues, and childhood bedrooms where these stories first took place.
