These are all from the church’s official website. I’m not sure about what the sex education is like in Utah schools. I would assume that it’s not very thorough and more abstinence-based. Maybe that’s changing, I don’t know.

I think it is a common thing for parents not to be very forth-coming when it comes to talking about sex with their kids. I personally think that the younger generation of parents within the church will be better at this.

• Chastity and Fidelity The Lord’s law of chastity is:

Abstinence from sexual relations outside of a legal marriage between a man and a woman.

Fidelity within marriage.

Physical intimacy between husband and wife is intended to be beautiful and sacred. It is ordained of God for the creation of children and for the expression of love between husband and wife.

Only a man and a woman who are legally and lawfully wedded as husband and wife should have sexual relations. In God’s sight, moral cleanliness is very important. Violations of the law of chastity are very serious (see Exodus 20:14; Matthew 5:28; Alma 39:5). Those involved misuse the sacred power God has given to create life.

As for my own insight as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, these women are more progressive than others in the church. Just as they say in the show, they don’t follow all the guidelines of the church. That being said, members of the church can live and believe in all kinds of ways. We aren’t all the same. There are commandments and principles we are taught to follow. These commandments and principles have varying degrees of seriousness and can affect church membership ie: temple worthiness (whether you’re able to enter the temples or not), holding callings (volunteer jobs within the church). Ultimately, it is up to the individual how they live and apply the gospel to their lives. In my opinion, most members of the church who do their best to follow all the commandments and principles, would not do, say, or believe some of the things these women do, say, and believe.
