This annual get away is seemingly a chance for <a href="http://lds.org/">LDS</a> singles to find their eternal companions. We had never even heard of it until we read <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-05-18/the-mormon-jersey-shore-spring-break-at-duck-beach/">this article</a> by McKay Coppins at the Daily Beast. Coppins calls it "...the most bizarre spring break on the planet," because there is no sex or alcohol.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Apparently the unwed LDS are feeling extra pressure this year because of <a href="http://lds.org/general-conference/2011/04/priesthood-power?lang=eng">President Monson's words on marriage at this past April's General Conference.</a> What has this obscure Mormon spring break making headlines this year is that there is a documentary being filmed called <i><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1455369505/duck-beach">Duck Beach A Single Mormon Story</a></i>. The filmmakers are planning on capturing the mystery of a weekend "fraught with sexual tension." </div><div><br /></div><div>We sistas would like to give our peeps headed to NC this weekend some tips on how to stay SAFE & CHASTE.</div><div><br /></div><div>1) <b>Remember</b>. Remember that there will be a camera crew there filming a documentary. Remember that people will be taking pictures and posting it on Facebook. Remember to not do anything that you wouldn't want us to find on YouTube and post on our blog, because yes, we are like that, we will post it.<br /><br /></div><div>2)<b> Practice safe text</b>. Those flirty text messages can get you all hot and bothered and into a whole heap of trouble. Here's what you do. Click on the contact button at the top of our site and send us an email with "Safe Text" in the subject line. We'll send you a phone number, where you can cc us on every text you send this weekend. Knowing that we will see everyone of your texts and post them on our Facebook wall in a hot second, should keep your texts clean and pure.</div><div><br /></div><div>3) <b>Chasity belt</b>. Wear a fanny pack and keep your scriptures in them. Seriously, it's harder to be unchaste when you have to get through <a href="http://www.bookofmormonmusings.info/SurvivingIsaiah.pdf">Second Nephi</a> first.<br /><br />4) <b>No cohabitation</b>. Remember when you were little and you had that sign on your bedroom door or your tree house that said "NO GIRLS/BOYS ALLOWED" bring it with you.<br /><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">5) <b>Eternal perspective</b>. Remember you are there to find an eternal companion not eternal damnation.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">6) <b>Modest is the hottest</b>. Keep your clothes on.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">7) <b>Have fun</b>. The I'm going to Disney land kind of fun, not the I'm auditioning for MTV's <i>Jersey Shore</i> type of fun.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Got any other tips to keep our Duck Beach brothers and sisters SAFE & CHASTE?</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Remember who you are,</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Sista Beehive & Sista Laurel</div></div></div>

A Sister, who shall remain nameless, asked this question:<br /><br />I am a single adult member of the church and was wondering. Why all the rubbing? I'm always sitting through sacrament meetings watching all the couples rubbing all over each other. Are they trying to make all the single people jealous? We get it, you have someone and we don't. Doesn't all that touching, stroking, rubbing, and whispering <span style="color:#ff99ff;">ignite the flames of romance </span><span style="color:#000000;">(edited to find a more tender word than the one she used, hope you don't mind Sister)</span>? Saw your blog loved it and thought maybe you could answer this question for me?<br /><br />We are working on a response to this Sister's question. What about it? Since we both might be guilty as charged, help us out! Are couples always rubbing each other? Do other singles find this annoying? Do we need more fire extinguishers at church? Is this why Mormons have so many kids?<br /><br />Sista Beehive & Sista Laurel<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myfreecopyright.com/registered_mcn/BT8QW_3GY41_YKT8E" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected"><img alt="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" border="0" height="38" src="http://storage.myfreecopyright.com/mfc_protected.png" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" width="145" /></a>
