Don't keep your hands to yourself! quote: STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION
Mark E. Petersen Council of the 12 Apostles
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:
And the oldest of retorts: "It's my soap; it's part of my body, and I'll wash it as fast as I please!

quote: 18. It is sometimes helpful to have a physical object to use in overcoming this problem. A Book of Mormon, firmly held in hand, even in bed at night has proven helpful in extreme cases.
Edited to add:
This method does leave the other hand free, however... |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

But...but....but.... what if I don't WANT to be cured?
What if I don't buy into the whole masturbation is bad for you?
As long as it doesn't affect my social life, job performance, or relationships with others, who the f*** cares?
Oh..... this guy does...... He needs a hobby.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

quote: 7. Be outgoing and friendly. Force yourself to be with others and learn to enjoy working and talking to them. Use principles of developing friendships found in books such as How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
Oh, Please!!! Everyone knows that Dale use to slam the ole salami daily. He found it cathartic.

Unbelievable! It rivals the Catholic religion's sex oppression obsessions.

I guess Mormon's are Masters of Their Domains. |
The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge. T. H. Huxley
