Overcoming Masturbation
Masturbation is a quickly-forming habit that can adversely affect both men and women of all ages. Despite what some might tell you, masturbation is not harmless. If you are trying to overcome masturbation, be assured that it is possible (even though, like any habit, it may take some work). If you are determined to do it, you will be able to. This page will give you some tips that can help you along the way.
Determination is the first step. That is where we begin. You must decide that you will end this practice, and when you make that decision, the problem will be greatly reduced at once.
But it must be more than a hope or a wish, more than knowing that it is good for you. It must be actually a DECISION. If you truly make up your mind you will have the strength to resist temptations which will come to you.
After you have made this decision, then observe the following specific guidelines:
- Never touch the intimate parts of your body except during normal washing and using the bathroom.
- Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company, especially when you are feeling particularly weak.
- If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, YOU MUST BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. Never associate with other people having the same weakness. Don't suppose that two of you will quit together, you never will. You must get away from people of that kind. Just to be in their presence will keep your problem foremost in your mind. The problem must be taken OUT OF YOUR MIND for that is where it really exists. Your mind must be on other and more wholesome things.....
Hold on a minute...
Let's think about Item 3 for a minute. According to this guide, just being near someone that jacks off will make you want to jack off too! I did not realize that masturbation was contagious.
How do you go about making friend of like mind? When you chat casually is it okay in Mormon land to just ask if they masturbate, does this topic fit in casual conversation in Mormon circles?
Read the rest HERE. And hope your brain does not explode.
