Warning for Satire-Impaired Readers

Chronic masturbation is one of the major social and personal challenges facing males today. The pornographic temptations of the Internet are irresistible for males with weak moral characters, and once in the grip of masturbatory addiction, it is virtually impossible for the male to free himself from the habit. If left unchecked, genital self-abuse can and often does take over his life, seriously impacting self esteem, career achievement, social ties, and family well being.

Although masturbatory addiction in the habituated male is irreversible and incurable, the damage wrought can be limited if the addict, with the help of his partner, works to control his more compulsive and vicious excesses.

For those males sincerely struggling to control the habit of masturbation, we offer the following resources.

THE PEOPLE’S COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER (1895) is one of the interesting historical works on the dangers of masturbation. I recommend it to students of society’s views on the subject. This extract is from the Project Gutenberg library. You can get a good flavor for its perspective from this quote:

Untold miseries arise from the pollution of the body. Self-pollution, or onanism, is one of the most prolific sources of evil, since it leads both to the degradation of body and mind. It is practiced more or less by members of both sexes, and the habit once established, is overcome with the greatest difficulty. It is the source of numerous diseases which derange the functional activity of the organs involved, and eventually impair the constitution. This vicious habit is often practiced by those who are ignorant of its dangerous results. Statistics show that insanity is frequently caused by masturbation.

Warning for the Satire-Impaired

From Healthy Masturbation 

There is a controversy about the role of masturbation in sexual recovery circles. The folks at Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) and Sexual Recovery Anonymous (SRA) take the position that if you identify yourself as a sex addict, then you are fooling yourself if you think that you can masturbate successfully.

What they mean by “successfully” is when you masturbate as a self-nurturing activity, without compromising your intimate relationships, and unaccompanied by degrading sexual fantasies.

SA/SRA members take the stand that sex addicts need to abstain from masturbation altogether and instead seek for sexual expression within marriage or a committed relationship.

Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA), Sexual Compulsives Anonymous (SCA), and Sex and Love Anonymous (SLAA) all take the position that abstention from masturbation is a personal decision.

However, most of these latter group members would also agree that abstaining from masturbation is a good idea in early recovery (in order to break self-destructive patterns).

Abstinence is different for each sex addict - depending on what behaviors are compulsive and lead to demoralization.

For some sex and love addicts masturbation is a truly harmless, risk-free release of built-up sexual tension. For others it is the start of a rapid slide down into shame, depression, and acting out in other, more dangerous ways. Clearly the latter group must put masturbation on their Bottom Lines (Inner Circle).

Can you masturbate just a little?

I’ve seen drawings and sketches of Victorian-age devices designed to curb masturbation. Here is one…

The band at the top fits around the waist. The trunk-like sheath in front envelopes the penis and draws it down. This "trunk" is in two parts, the top piece is what envelopes the penis, while the bottom part is a reservoir to hold urine. The two smaller loops attached to the reservoir buckle around the thighs, forcing the sheath to stay down.

A Tale of Frustration and Reward

Continence College, an exclusive formerly all-girl’s school, now beginning to admit male students. The college administration is committed to maintaining a safe, nurturing, non-hostile environment for the female students. It has instituted a strict policy forbidding all forms of male aggression: physical, verbal, and mental. To enforce the policy it requires male students to enroll in one of three Masculinity Management Programs. A male may choose 1) to be castrated at matriculation by the school’s Neutering Nurse,  2) to undergo daily forced masturbation to the point of ejaculatory demasculation, or 3) to consent to wear a chastity device at all times on campus.

PeterFiles #12: What the Doctor Ordered

 (Editor’s Note: Secondary sexual dysfunction is a frequent consequence of excessive masturbation, and premature ejaculation is one of the most common clinical manifestations. Two complimentary processes are at work: frequent masturbation lowers the ejaculatory threshold and accustoms the sexual organs to non-coital emissions, thereby setting the stage for praecox ejaculation; and the moral degradation of masturbation leads to lowered self esteem and increased anxiety with women, resulting in almost unbearable tension when presented with coital opportunity. The result is a loss of normal ejaculatory control, and a habitual masturbator is often unable to accomplish sexual intercourse even with a willing and understanding partner. Usual therapeutic measures are not effective, and the sufferer is well advised to seek a therapist who will take into account the special dynamics of masturbation-induced premature ejaculation. — Dr. Margaret Wilson, Registered Genital Therapist)

In graduate school I really tried to develop a more normal sex life. I knew it was impossible to break my masturbation habit, but I hoped that I could learn to have normal sex with girls at least some of the time. I was still morbidly shy around the opposite sex, but I became good friends with Brenda, a nursing student, who (to my surprise) seemed attracted to me. After a couple of dates we wound up alone at her apartment and I knew now was the time. I was terribly nervous about having sex, but Brenda was a take-charge kind of girl and, with her leading me every step, we began to make love. But just when I was about to enter her, an irresistible urge to let go seized me, and I spilled my essence at her threshold, leaving her wet, sticky and frustrated.

Peter File #03: SUMMER CAMP

(Editor’s Note: Experiences in puberty often have formative power in establishing patterns of masturbatory dependency. Peter’s spontaneous discovery of self-abuse was unfortunately confirmed by his pubertal social interactions, of which this is one example. Here we also see a connection established between urinary continence and masturbatory practices. — Dr. Margaret Wilson, Registered Genital Therapist)

When Peter turned fourteen, his aunt announced her intention to send him to summer camp. This prospect was far from pleasing to the naturally shy and introverted youth: he dreaded the rude, forced contact with other boys of his age. He disliked their rough physical games (at which he was always the loser) and their boisterous society (from which he always felt excluded). He much preferred to keep his own company and pursue his own interests, which lately centered on his secret habit of masturbation. Since recently discovering the rapturous mystery, he was interested in little else. He looked forward to a summer of glorious indolence at home, with long uninterrupted hours to explore the frontiers of his pubescent sexuality.
