      That’s more of a Catholic thing. The Mormon church doesn’t have altar boys the same way that the Catholic church does.

      Also, as a rule children aren’t allowed in the temples, it’s mostly teenagers andadults.

      Lastly, and this is pure speculation on my part, the leadership of the Mormons are allowed to get married and have kids. I think that generally reduces pent up sexual urges with no outlet.

      Probably close to 0. The temple is not a very convenient place to get away with it (except for maybe the baptimal font changing rooms). It is far more common in the bishops office of normal church-buildings, in the home of local church leaders when the children are asked to visit, or in the home of the child when a local leader comes around for a lesson/visit.
