SUREST WAY OF DEALING WITH MASTURBATION


Article Written by: Asante Krobea Elvis

I found out in my research that society rarely talks about masturbation because of its associated stigma. About 75% of the world’s population watch pornography and/or masturbate; Pornographic sites are the most visited sites on the internet. What most people do not know is that managers of the internet have crawlers that monitor viewers of a particular website.
Another baffling fact that got me discouraged to put a stop to this work was the fact that, masturbation has been supported by many medical experts and some renowned pastors. I proceeded to write this for a simple reason, that, my Bible speaks against it.
Due to the fact that many people are engaging in this act but refuse to talk about it openly, I considered terming it the “ *dirty secret*” act. I found out that there are so many ways people engage in this dirty secret act. This article seeks to talk about its negative effects and surest ways of curbing it.
Before we taste the icing on the cake, let's spend time educate ourselves on the physiological and spiritual effects of the dirty secret act.
*(A). PHYSIOLOGICAL(physical and emotional) EFFECTS*
*1. Guilt or shame:* Unless it is an animal, anybody who engages in the dirty secret undergoes self-judgment right after orgasm. The strongest judge, sentences the conscience to period  of imprisonment.
 
*2. Low self esteem:* This explains the fact that, the generated guilt degenerates into the low-self picture. You will be like, “I cannot stand in front of the church and sing like Mike, because I have a dirty secret”. There is the difficulty of making major decisions in life as a result. You could make a decision today but will be in dire need to change it the next minute for no proper reason.

*3. Health at risk:* Medically, the energy dissipated during orgasm can be likened to that of a 400 meter runner. Orgasm involves all the nerves. The nerves are more loaded during masturbation than through sex with a partner. Antonia Hall, M. A., a psychologist, relationship expert, sexpert and an award winning author said,
“Eastern philosophies have warned about ejaculating too frequently as a drain on a person’s health...”.
The symptoms of "over-orgasm"  include back pain, tiredness, dry or itching eyes and problems with vision, fatigue, headache and even hair loss.
Another expert also said in his publication that there’s an inflammation of the neurochemical pathways as a result of an increase in the secretion of the hormones; cortisol and prostaglandin. (Dima Ali, M. D. of Wellmedica Aethetic & Anti–Aging Medicine). Putting these hormones to work unnecessarily, deprives the body its natural way of maintaining your health.

*4. Imbalance/ lack of concentration:* Have you ever noticed the posture of a person who has taken in enough alcohol? Your guess is as good as mine. Such a person lacks balance and cannot stand straight because the alcohol has altered the normal body function. Similarly, there is unusual blinking of the eyes, shaky head and feet after the dirty secret act . It can lead to imbalance when the neurochemicals are overly generated. The aforementioned symptoms could be noticed few hours or days after the dirty secret act. You will not be able to control your own affairs any longer because of the alterations.
*5. Marital Problems:* Sex is a very important factor in marriage. Due to the act, you cannot satisfy your partner. You will reach orgasm earlier or later than expected. This will eventually bring discomfort to your partner, especially when he/she is not aware of the dirty secret act of yours.
“Weak erection and early ejaculation are very real problems for over 30% of the male population”, says Jacqui Oliver. He continues to say, “This is because masturbating to the point of ejaculating reduces a man’s desire for sex which then impacts his partner and causes him or her to wonder why he or she won’t have sex with him or her." This can lead to stress and confusion in the relationship.
*(B). SPIRITUAL ASPECT:*
I believe in the operations of spirits, particularly demons. What you must know is that spirits do not have gender (male and female). They could act in any gender depending on the work they have been assigned to do. The demon that attaches itself to a man is called “incubus” whiles the one that attaches itself to a woman is called “succubus”. These are how they will ruin your life:
1. They will make you unable to maintain a healthy relationship. It is either you find a little fault with the person or the person finds a fault with you and calls for break-up.
The demons will not allow you to build wealth or accumulate material asset.
2. You may lose control over your own children, a group you are leading, a work that has been entrusted to you because you cannot control yourself.
3. The demons will draw people with similar fate closer to you. In the case of a man, you will be exposed to ladies and you will be tempted to have an affair with them against the statutes of the Bible. This happens in same manner for women.
4. The final thing they could do is to hunt on your integrity and make you look "stupid" in your own eyes.
*SUREST WAYS TO DEAL WITH THIS DIRTY SECRET ACT ARE:*
*1. Admit that it is an abnormal sexual life.* The first rule in unlearning a behavior is to accept that that particular behavior is a bad behavior. You may satisfy yourself within the maximum of two minutes but you will bear the consequences forever
*2. Seek external help:* A problem shared is half solved. Find a person who is spiritually stronger and has in-depth knowledge in counseling. (Confidentiality must be considered here).
*3. Know your limit; Curiosity kills the cat*: Do not be swayed by nude pictures. Never make an attempt to watch the most talked about sex video. Bad character corrupts good manners. Just don’t take the first step by viewing nude media files when you know your weakness. Satan is very cunning that he has manufactured materials that are very appealing to all the five sense organs. Yes you will feel good manipulating with such materials, luring you to the last stage of the dirty secret act, and guilt will be your last feeling. Don’t take the first step!
*4. Be disciplined:* I like military men for their discipline. But they go through a lot of painful training to build discipline among their ranks. It takes pain to unlearn a behavior. Make it a conscious effort to unlearn masturbation because the benefit you will gain after staying away from it outweighs the pain that will dawn on you if you don't stop it.
5. *Spend your time profitably*: It is said that "the devil finds work for an idle hand". You can be a tool to solve a particular problem in the society or assist communal projects. Also, find something to do in your church.
