Steps In Overcoming Masturbation – 1

By Georgy ------ 5684 views

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: They may not be bliblical but practical steps to overcome masturbation.

A Guide to Self-Control:

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.” The thought pattern must be changed. You must not allow this problem to remain in your mid. When you accomplish that, you soon will be free of the act.

8. Put wholesome thoughts into your mind at all times. Read good books — Church books — Scriptures — Sermons of the Brethern [sic, Cistern too?]. Make a daily habit of reading at least one chapter of Scripture, preferably from one of the four Gospels in the New Testament, or the Book of Mormon. The four Gospels — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — above anything else in the Bible can be helpful because of their uplifting qualities.

9. Pray. But when you pray, don’t pray about this problem, for that will tend to keep [it] in your mind more than ever. Pray for faith, pray for understanding of the Scriptures, pray for the Missionaries, the General Authorities, your friends, your families, BUT KEEP THE PROBLEM OUT OF YOUR MIND BY NOT MENTIONING IT EVER — NOT IN CONVERSATION WITH OTHERS, NOT IN YOUR PRAYERS. KEEP IT OUT of your mind!

The attitude of a person toward his problem has an affect on how easy it is to overcome. It is essential that a firm commitment be made to control the habit. As a person understands his reasons for the behavior, and is sensitive to the conditions or situations that may trigger a desire for the act, he develops the power to control it.

Masturbation OR Self-abuse

By Georgy ------ 12150 views

Masturbation refers to sexual stimulation, especially of one’s own genitals and often to the point of orgasm, which is performed manually, by other types of bodily contact (except for sexual intercourse), by use of objects or tools, or by some combination of these methods. Many physicists consider this to be perfectly ok and gives the thumbs up for doing this. But THIS IS VERY WRONG.

SPIRITUAL EFFECTS:-

Let us consider the views of Catholic Church on Masturbation. The Church’s teaching on the matter of masturbation is a consequence of its overall understanding of human sexuality. It says that the deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose.

The Church views sexual expression between a man and a woman in the context of marriage to be a sacred, even sacramental act. Consequently, all other sexual activity including masturbation, homosexual acts, acts of sodomy and sex outside of marriage and the use of artificial contraception as morally disordered as they frustrate the intention of God “written” in the design of the human body. Sexual expression must be a complete act of mutual self-giving only possible between a married couple open to the conception of a new child.

The Church firmly says “By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action. “The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose.” For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved.

To form an equitable judgment about the subjects’ moral responsibility and to guide pastoral action, one must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety, or other psychological or social factors that can lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability.”

Just consider this: You have to go wild in your imagination about a sexy lady/actress you have just seen to stimulate your emotions or think about a sexy scene from a movie etc… But just think that Jesus has said that even if you look at a girl with desire, then you have committed adultery with her in your heart. So more masturbation means more sinful your life becomes.

PHYSICAL & MENTAL EFFECTS:-

For men, our one discharge of sperm fluid contains 40 crores of sperm. Just think about it, how many crores of sperm have you wasted till date??? God has designed our body such that the excess sperm produced will be ejected out naturally during sleep through ejaculations. No need to worry as it happens almost unnoticed.So why take the pain to alter god’s desire and make the process a gravious sin by masturbating? Moreover frequent masturbation can even make you impotent by gradually decreasing your sperm count. Why take this heavy risk for a pleasure that lasts only for a few seconds? THINK!!!

Considering the mental side, doctors have agreed that frequent masturbation can lead to

1. General Bodily Weakness

2. Loss of Memory

3. Inability to reproduce in future

Just take a look at all the 3 aftereffects!!!
Moreover the 3rd one is dangerous because it can leave you impotent.Doctors have confirmed that 80% of sexual problems in man is due to SUDDEN EJACULATION, the quick ejaculation of sperm during sex with one’s partner.This happens because when we masturbate, we constantly look forward to the climax with eagerness to reach it as fast as we can.So we are training our body to reach the sexual climax as soon as possible, that also without a partner to arouse us. So just think what will happen when your partner is by your side to stimulate you?? You will be reaching your sexual climax in seconds, way before your partner is even half way along the lane!!!PROBLEM RIGHT,FOR SURE!!!

I admit that most teenagers are in the habit of masturbation. But that doesnt make an evil , harmful thing good anyway!!!

But we all are HUMANS. We are helpless sometimes. And one may do it however hard he try once a month. That frequency is more acceptable because he tried his best and stood his ground in a 100 or more temptations and gave in only once a month. But I am talking about those who have made this a regular work everyday. I even know some who do it 3 times a day.Its for those i am writing this article.

Dear child, turn to God. He can save you from the evil habit of masturbation cultivated by the Devil. One cannot stop this wrong habit by himself without God’s help.So pray hard my friends, apply constraints on your thoughts and deeds with prayer.Then you can escape from this devilish habit.

The Prodigal Son Turning Back To GOD

By Georgy ------ 21562 views

Hai ,

First of all, I would like to say something about me. I am Georgy N Joseph. I had been a regular sinner, doing all kinds of nasty stuff. I had been like that all during my teenage and beyond. Those ‘nasty stuff’ include all kinds of sins you could probably imagine, ranging from those very simple ones to the most serious things. I just didn’t care to think about the effects these will have, all along, in my entire life, neglecting the great love of my Heavently Father. So I was just like the “The Prodigal Son” in the Bible.

But then things changed all of a sudden. One of my friends told me a lot about the new christian lifestyle that is becoming more and more popular now. Yes! He told me about JESUS YOUTH. According to his advice, I attended a few programs of Jesus Youth, JY in short. And what to say, my life took a U-Turn then and there. Now I think I am leading a much better sinfree life.

I would like to share all the thoughts that attracted my attention with you guys. Although I am a christian, these thoughts are applicable to any human being under the sun.

This site will be having lots of debatable religious thoughts soon. You can see articles on the most widely popular misconceptions about which all are actually sins or not. This site will be having separate sections for religious pics, prayers, devotional music and videos.
