You are going to learn how to overcome the monster called MASTURBATION.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A willing heart & determination.
  1. Step 1

    Recognize that masturbation is a perversion and accept the reality.

  2. Step 2

    Come to terms with the fact that it is possible to defeat the monster called masturbation and break its hold over your life. It is a battle of the mind. Check out the next steps.

  3. Step 3

    Avoid watching pornographic films, books,magazines and stop visiting x-rated sites. I know this is a tall order for addicts, however you can make up your mind to do it.

  4. Step 4

    Destroy all porn materials in your possession so that you are not tempted to go back to feed your mind with the filthy images/pictures.

  5. Step 5

    When the thoughts of masturbating comes, don't allow it to take root in your mind. GET IT OFF. If you ponder over it you are most likely going to fall for it before you realize it- THAT IS THE GOSPEL TRUTH!

  6. Step 6

    Get busy,if lonely of feel pressed for sex, do some exercises. It burns off energy and keeps your mind off filthy and lustful thoughts. You need to realize that thoughts are like a viper's egg, you can crush it easily. However, if you allow it to grow into a full viper it could be too DANGEROUS TO HANDLE.

  7. Step 7

    Don't say I have tried many times but I still fell to the monster- Masturbation. NEVER GIVE UP! Because quitters never win and winners never quit.

on 10/8/2009 Hey Xragrza I share your view, I have studied this topic from all angles and as a Christian of over 20 years I do not believe masturbation by itself is a sin. The Bible is silent on the issue and where the scripture is silent we must not try to speak for it. It is a religious and for some a social taboo because of much traditional wrong thinking on it, one being that you have to use porn to masturbate and that you also have to lust.Neither of these are necessarily so masturbation is sinful when lust is attached or when there is a lack of self control and it is a habit. However I believe if a person do so when he or she experiences a natural sex urge brought on by natural body functions such as just before menstruation or when the testicles are full of seamen. Then masturbating can be a way of simply relieving that natural urge for release as long as the person does not have a marriag...
