First read this. (The following will have no contextual meaning otherwise....)

It was my experience as a young newlywed moving to Utah a decade or so ago that the main conflict here with actual doctrine vs practical (or impractical) practice is brought about if not mostly by then in part by the rampantly contradictory LDS culture in the region.

Predominantly LDS regions have a social culture which is horribly broken without much hope for repair so far as I can tell.(If you can maintain complete separation from all things relating to LDS church members should you happen to live in Utah, you probably wouldn't notice, unless you enjoy alcohol.)
I am ever grateful that I was mature enough to know when the time came to expect our first child that it would be wise to raise them in a more socially diverse environment. So after two years in the "lovely deseret" we packed up, sold our house and left before our firstborn would take their first breath.

I will never regret leaving, and still occasionally visit the beehive state and witness how the loathsome traits of the collective LDS culture has furthered its decline.

A couple random thoughts:

Could a link be drawn to the rampant prescribing of medication to treat depression and anxiety in the region be linked to this person conflict creating phenomenon? Very possibly. I'll refrain from elaborating on that sensitive idea.

For the record there should be some equalization with this statement:
"Boys will be boys, and that sometimes they will think inappropriate thoughts."
Girls and women, as equally sexual beings will and do have "inappropriate thoughts."

These phenomenal thought processes are part of being human and not exclusively a bad thing. I hold some minor disdain for all sexual thought being generally categorized as inappropriate. Without these thought patterns you and I would certainly not be here.

I enjoy my membership in the church. I certainly hope to never feel otherwise. I know my beliefs and knowledge are deeply rooted enough to help me separate the actions and thoughts of LDS people from ACTUAL church doctrines. There are some ways of thinking that creep in among it's membership that seem and sometimes are extreme and/or unfounded.

This note shared alludes well to how some LDS groups have created their own baseless standards:

"Do I have a problem with the cultural implications? Yes, I do. The specific clothing items mentioned in this official declaration are “short shorts and skirts, tight clothing, and shirts that don’t cover the stomach.” That’s it. No flagrant scolding messages about bare shoulders, knees, and toes (knees and toes). No finger-pointing about blouses that actually elude to the fact that women have breasts."

I think this is very well put. The same idea exists with the predominant myth that Mormons cannot consume caffeine. This idea was born from the Word of Wisdom doctrine advising that a member should not drink coffee or other "hot drinks."
There is no official or doctrinal declaration forbidding the use of caffeine.
That is not to say it is healthy to replace water with Diet Coke.... (another seeming rampant issue among the LDS in the mountain west and elsewhere...)

Amen.
