Redirect Your Sexual Urges to Achieve Your Highest Goals

Sexuality is an urge, a desire, an appetite and a want. It’s not a need. It’s not something we must have to sustain life. It’s much like other wants we have. We may want chocolate, rich desserts and other sweets, but we don’t need them. If we overindulge in these types of foods, they become destructive. We have to use them in moderation and within normal, healthy boundaries.

There are also healthy limits and boundaries we should place around our sexual appetites. When we exercise our sexual desires responsibly within a healthy, long-term committed relationship, we can experience our greatest happiness. If we don’t restrain our sexual desires and activities, we can lose time, relationships, happiness, respect, employment, sleep, and contract terrible diseases—some that can even kill us! Controlling appetites is really not so unusual, we do it all the time with many things. It doesn’t mean we don’t have these desires, it just means we must direct, manage, limit, regulate and use them wisely.

Neither plague, nor war, nor smallpox, nor a crowd of similar evils, have resulted more disastrously for humanity than the habit of masturbation: it is the destroying element of civilized society.

Religion was never alone on the ramparts of sexual repression. Science, in the form of the New Orleans Medical & Surgical Journal, contributed the above-cited opinion in 1850. In the same era, American hospitals began circumcising infants as a pre-emptive strike against future self-abuse.

Through the 19th century, the assault on “self-abuse” continued: Reverend Sylvester Graham invented the Graham crackers to curb sexual impulses. In the 1830s, Benjamin Rush, renowned physician and signer of the declaration of Independence, argued that masturbation caused tuberculosis, memory loss, and epilepsy. JH Kellogg, turn of the century medical writer and creator of breakfast cereal, believed signs of masturbation included acne, weak back, and convulsions. Noted 19th century physician and early sex research pioneer Richard von Krafft Ebing linked masturbation to homosexuality and other types of what he considered deviance and illnesses.

Message to Christine O’Donnell: Hands off my hobby. – By Joel Stein – Slate Magazine

Though O’Donnell has been ridiculed for her prudishness, I actually think she’s right. Masturbation is bad for marriage. Our pornified, DIY sex culture leads to husbands who would rather go to their man-cave for an hour than attempt to negotiate intimacy with their wives—especially because many of those wives aren’t Asian. Just like we’d be closer to our spouses if we could only eat in their presence, so we would be really eager to see our wives if we didn’t masturbate. Also, we’d be much more efficient. Imagine if we used our computers only for work. The industrial revolution would have never happened if, when you pulled the factory lever one way you made a Model T, and if you moved it the other way, you saw hot girl-on-girl action.

Nancy Pelosi, Christine O’Donnell and the Roman Catholic Church’S Beliefs

Posted on by

Bulletin for non-Catholics, and perhaps “ardent Catholic” Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi: The Catholic Church disapproves of masturbation.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_on_masturbation):

“The Catholic Church teaches that the deliberate use of the sexual faculty outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its primary purpose of procreation and secondary purpose of unification of the husband and wife within the sacrament of marriage. In addition, the Church teaches that all other sexual activity—including masturbation, homosexual acts, acts of sodomy, and sex outside of or before marriage (fornication), and the use of any form of contraception or birth control— is gravely disordered, as it frustrates the natural order, purpose, and ends of sexuality. Natural family planning is permitted, being not a form of contraception. 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 lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability.

The Devil Made me Do It

From a masturbator in OnaniaSupport:

“Sister Mary Bernadette, you said you wanted to see me?”

“Yes Frankie. Please close the door and have a seat.

“I wanted to talk to you about your masturbation habit. Don’t look so
shocked. Of course Father Doyle can’t share your confession to him
with me or anyone else. But I’ve been teaching boys like you for many
years, and I can see in your eyes the mornings masturbate before
coming to school. I can also tell you leave the afternoons when you
plan to masturbate first thing when you get home. And that’s most
mornings and most afternoons, isn’t it? Sometimes you even duck into
the boys’ room and do it at Cardinal Monahan High, don’t you?

Looking Back- The solitary vice

The superstition that masturbation could cause mental illness

… Far more treacherous was the “solitary vice,” masturbation, which had been thought of as somewhat less rousing than the real thing. Graham, however, pointed out that as a solitary activity, the practice of masturbation was likely to start at an earlier age and to occur more often than partnered sex. Most important, the lack of a partner meant resorting to fantasy and the conjuring of erotic scenes and lewd images that surely stirred the brain to a fever pitch. (By this analysis, lusting in the heart was physiologically equivalent to lusting in the flesh.) Because the brain’s inflamed state could be transmitted to any organ or tissue of the body through the nervous system, all manner of disease could follow. But with sexual solitaire, the climax—rather the culmination—was insanity. “This general mental decay,” Graham warned, “continues with the continued abuses, till the wretched transgressor sinks into a miserable fatuity, and finally becomes a confirmed and degraded idiot, whose deeply sunken and vacant glassy eye, and livid, shriveled countenance, and ulcerous, toothless gums, and fetid breath, and feeble broken voice, and emaciated and dwarfish and crooked body, and almost hairless head—covered, perhaps, with suppurating blisters and running sores—denote a premature old age—a blighted body—and a ruined soul!” ….

- Anti-Masturbation Technology – Femdom Chastity

 

In the course of the 19th century, more and more doctors linked masturbation to severe mental illness. As explained in 1867 by Henry Maudsley, the greatest British psychiatrist of his time, masturbatory insanity was “characterized by … extreme perversion of feeling and corresponding derangement of thought, in earlier stages, and later by failure of intelligence, nocturnal hallucinations, and suicidal and homicidal propensities.” In other words, masturbators were mad potential killers, and it seemed only prudent to have them locked up in an asylum.

To make matters worse, in its later stages the disease was considered incurable. All medical science could really do was to concentrate on the prevention and early detection of the disease. Parents were therefore advised to tie the hands of their children to the sides of the bed, or to make them wear mittens spiked with iron thorns. Special bandages and “chastity belts” were to render the sex organs inaccessible. Doctors with a knack for mechanics invented ingenious contraptions that would “protect” people from “abusing themselves”. Finally, if everything else failed, surgery was recommended. The most popular surgical treatments were infibulation for males (i.e., putting a metal ring through the foreskin, thus preventing an erection) and clitoridectomy for females (i.e., cutting out the clitoris). However, cauterization and denervation of the sex organs and even castration were sometimes also deemed necessary.

Needless to say, all of these mechanical devices and surgical procedures constantly focused attention on the sex organs and their functions. Thus, it became nearly impossible for the “patients” to forget their “problem” even for a moment. Small wonder, then, that for many the concern with masturbation turned into a complete obsession.
