When you have so many people believing so much crap about you, it gets old.

I've never heard of it before this thread was created a couple months ago. I even have lots of mormon acquaintances so it is one of the parts of mormonism that I was curious about.

I've brought up the term around my mormon friends but they aren't exactly the most religious people I've ever met so they kind of dismissed it. I don't know if they'd never heard of it either, didn't want to share or perhaps were embarrassed. I was hoping to get a "real" account of what it is all about as opposed to looking it up on the internet. Hence my original post. I wasn't kidding or being condescending when I said "seriously what is up with the magical underpants" I honestly don't know what that is all about. Still don't. I just don't have another term for it. Should I have asked what is up with mormon underpants? I'm not sure if that would garner a serious response.

I'm not trying to pretend that I'm not totally ignorant of this particular aspect of mormonism. I really want to know what the deal is. Chastity belt kind of thing? Just a vow to not have sex before marriage? I have no idea.

I meant no offense. I am trying to enlighten myself so that the next time it comes up I won't have to act clueless and I can correct my intollerant friends.
