LDS is an exceptionally strict “mainline” sect of Christianity, while still being viewed as “different” to most American Christians. So the idea of a Mormon missionary being sexually liberated resonates well with people who have spent decades in the closet.
Also, it’s the gay equivalent of a Catholic school girl fetish of robbing soiling something viewed of innocent/pure.
I came out relatively ‘early’ (late teens) so I hadn’t considered the appeal for people who had been closeted for much longer. That makes a lot more sense.
