If Carrie Bradshaw was raised in conservative, Mormon Utah, The Missionary Position would be that story. At the turn of the millennium, a young, Catholic, Canadian girl relocates from Regina, Saskatchewan, to Syracuse, Utah—a city estimated to be over 70% Mormon. Here, she blossoms into an aspiring sex and relationships columnist and decides that after graduating from the University of  Utah, she’s going to interview 201 current and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about their experiences with Mormon purity culture and turn those findings into a book. Along the way, she meets some unusual characters, including a Mormon dominatrix, a 40-year-old virgin, a missionary who lost his virginity on his two-year LDS mission, and a woman who’s never had sex with her husband of 13 years and remains chaste and childless against her will. After four months of back-to-back interviews, the author spends the next six years dissecting hundreds of hours of audio footage, only to arrive at the shocking discovery that she, too, is a victim of the culture she believed she was merely observing.

 

Born from 239 real phone calls, The Missionary Position promises a never-before-seen look into the sex lives of Mormons: their indiscretions, their traumas, their fantasies, and their taboo kinks. Peer behind the closed bedroom doors of one of the nation's most insular religious communities. Reevaluate the stereotypes that depict Mormons as prudish, obedient, and submissive. Get uncomfortably close. Pitched as Gillian Anderson's Want with a Mormon twist, The Missionary Position is for the fans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives who are craving an even more intimate look at the LDS community. 

 

 34 sex lives. One faith. Zero secrets. Are you ready to find yourself in the story of Mormon?
