I think you’d be surprised what most men would be into. Probably no need to feel awkward about it. Flaunt what you got!

Ex-Mormon here, Mormons are not even close to Scientologists and JW in terms of control and shunning. In fact, they have more in common with Catholics than they do with the other two in terms of those aspects. Mormons don't try and control you, per SE, they just have a semi-strict set of beliefs, particularly around chastity and substance abuse. But you can be bad at both and they wouldn't kick you out. It's up to you entirely if you chose to follow them. You might get some peer pressure to stop, but from my experience it came from a place of genuine concern, not from a punishment perspective. You're free to come and go as you please and no one is going to tell your family not to talk to you anymore. I think people who try to make Mormons seem like a cult are either ignorant or angry with them, but really Mormonism is harmless and no more crazy than Catholics/Jews/Muslims whomever. All religions are crazy.
