This seems like an exageration. Have pe-marital relations, contraception and masturbation been mentioned in the party platform?

I think supporting traditional marriage and opposition to abortion are substantive issues. Lumping them in with masturbation seems like a rhetorical trick to trivialize them.

Contraception is often mentioned by many GOP members in the form of teaching abstinence only birth control methods. Pre-martial relations are also mentioned from time to time and occasional “slip out” such as Demint’s recent comments regarding unwed pregnant teachers.
