STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION
A Mormon missionary "guide". STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION Be assured that you can be cured of your difficulty. Never touch the intimate parts of your body except during normal toilet processes. Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company. If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, YOU MUST BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. dress yourself for the night so securely that you cannot easily touch your vital parts. Never read pornographic material. Never read about your problem. Keep it out of mind. Remember -- "First a thought, then an act." Pray. But when you pray, don´t pray about this problem. 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! Masturbation is a sinful habit that robs one of the Spirit and creates guilt and emotional stress. It is not physically harmful unless practiced in the extreme. When the temptation to masturbate is strong, yell _STOP_ to those thoughts as loudly as you can in your mind. Be outgoing and friendly. Make a pocket calendar for a month on a small card. Carry it with you, but show it to no one. If you have a lapse of self control, color the day black. if you are tempted to masturbate, think of having to bathe in a tub of worms, and eat several of them as you do the act. Wear pajamas that are difficult to open. In very severe cases it may be necessary to tie a hand to the bed frame with a tie in order that the habit of masturbating in a semi-sleep condition can be broken. You can win this fight!
