Obviously there are some 12-year-olds who are far more advanced than others, but I seriously don;t believe we should be asking those questions of pre-pubescent or barely pubescent youngsters.
I agree. I had to explain the law of chastity. My son thought “chastity” was something bad, though he had no idea what.
I’m so glad the handbook says not to ask the question anymore. I remember a book I read when I was a teenager by Spencer W. Kimball, (I can’t remember the title but it’s one of the old well-known ones,) and it talked at some length about masturbation being sinful, as well as “necking and petting” which were far obsolete by the 90s when I was a youth, but still used in church settings. Maybe asking about it in interviews became commonplace during Kimball’s presidency, or after that book was published.
