Steps in Overcoming Masturbation

[Mischka]

Be assured that you can be cured of your difficulty. Many have been, both male and female, and you can be also if you determine that it must be so.

This 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 that you will be cured, then you will have the strength to resist any tendencies which you may have and any temptations which may come to you.

After you have made this decision, then observe the following specific guidelines:

1. Never touch the intimate parts of your body except during normal toilet processes.
   
2. Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company.
   
3. 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.
   
4. When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. Never stay in the bath more than five or six minutes -- just long enough to bathe and dry and dress AND THEN GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM into a room where you will have some member of your family present.
   
5. When in bed, if that is where you have your problem for the most part, dress yourself for the night so securely that you cannot easily touch your vital parts, and so that it would be difficult and time consuming for you to remove those clothes. By the time you started to remove protective clothing you would have sufficiently controlled your thinking that the temptation would leave you.
   
6. If the temptation seems overpowering while you are in bed, GET OUT OF BED AND GO INTO THE KITCHEN AND FIX YOURSELF A SNACK, even if it is in the middle of the night, and even if you are not hungry, and despite your fears of gaining weight. The purpose behind this suggestion is that you GET YOUR MIND ON SOMETHING ELSE. You are the subject of your thoughts, so to speak.
   
7. Never read pornographic material. Never read about your problem. Keep it out of mind. Remember -- "First a thought, then an act."

Hey! I'm trying to masturbate here!

 

[Mischka]

No no!! Step one!

 

[Purple Haze]

I think I can finally quit smoking for good now,

Thanks Mischka...

 

[Nora]

You had me 'til that first one...

 

[calypso_21]

The second one... usually puts me right in the mood for self pleasuring...and then the mutual satisfaction too!

 

[Mischka]

Step 4 is my favorite. I have a timer in my shower so I'm not in there for longer than six minutes. *nods*

 

[Pyper]

Where did you get this, Mischka?

 

[Eumenides]

Um...wondering...who really wants this advice? I mean, it's really good advice, but who would want to stop?




Or am I just a nympho???

 

[Mischka]

Where did you get this, Mischka?

From my new pastor.

Rog bashing on the wall is not a timer.

 

[Pyper]

From my new pastor.

How did that situation come about? Was he just passing out pamphlets to everyone, or did he single you out because you needed extra-special help?

Other advise

Bowling works for me.

Thought I only bowl a couple of times a year during that couple of hours at the lanes I am pure.

Give it a try.

 

[SaucyWench]

Ok, your pastor gave you tips on how to stop masturbating...but were you given a reason why? (beyond the whole "it's a sin, don't do it!" factor) I haven't heard a good reason yet why to stop...does it cause cancer?

If you are then I'm your idtentical twin!

 

[curious2c]

OK I'm ready for the test now. Uh...is there a test? Who gives the test anyway?

Um...doesn't work for me. Uh. You know. The uh. pins. *blush*

 

[Rambling Rose]

I think it's time to pull out all the stops, Mischka.

No more panties in church.

Sit in the front pew each week.

Cross and uncross your legs frequently.

Ask for a private meeting after service.

Then come back and tell us what your pastor said!

In the Catholic Church, it's a sin for anybody to touch you sexually except your spouse. And that includes yourself! I don't know if there is something in the Bible about it or what, but many other branches of Christianity consider it a sin as well.

I was caught with my hands down my panties during service. I tried to be discreet and sit in the back row, but my moans distracted the last few pews.

Just tell 'em you were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Where's the steps that cover, "being able to touch yourself. But, not being able to get much sensations from it, or, being able to ejaculate?"

What a terrible thing to consider a sin. That's almost like considering double chocolate chunk ice cream a sin.
