Curing the Homosexual and the Masturbator

[Dr. Warren Wierdsbe]

I have come up with some guidelines for helping the queer or self-abuser (or both) and want to share them with all those who think they cannot be cured:


Be assured that you can be cured of your difficulty. Many have been, both male and female, and you can be also if you determine that it must be so.
This determination is the first step. That is where we begin. You must decide that you will end this practice, and when you make that decision, the problem will be greatly reduced at once.
But it must be more than a hope or a wish, more than knowing that it is good for you. It must be actually a DECISION. If you truly make up your mind that you will be cured, then you will have the strength to resist any tendencies which you may have and any temptations which may come to you.
After you have made this decision, then observe the following specific guidelines:
A Guide to Self-Control:


1. Never touch the intimate parts of your body except during normal toilet processes.

2. Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company.

3. If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, YOU MUST BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. Never associate with other people having the same weakness. Don't suppose that two of you will quit together, you never will. You must get away from people of that kind. Just to be in their presence will keep your problem foremost in your mind. The problem must be taken OUT OF YOUR MIND for that is where it really exists. Your mind must be on other and more wholesome things.

4. When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. Never stay in the bath more than five or six minutes -- just long enough to bathe and dry and dress AND THEN GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM into a room where you will have some member of your family present.

5. When in bed, if that is where you have your problem for the most part, dress yourself for the night so securely that you cannot easily touch your vital parts, and so that it would be difficult and time consuming for you to remove those clothes. By the time you started to remove protective clothing you would have sufficiently controlled your thinking that the temptation would leave you.

6. If the temptation seems overpowering while you are in bed, GET OUT OF BED AND GO INTO THE KITCHEN AND FIX YOURSELF A SNACK, even if it is in the middle of the night, and even if you are not hungry, and despite your fears of gaining weight. The purpose behind this suggestion is that you GET YOUR MIND ON SOMETHING ELSE. You are the subject of your thoughts, so to speak.

7. Never read pornographic material. Never read about your problem. Keep it out of mind. Remember -- "First a thought, then an act."
The thought pattern must be changed. You must not allow this problem to remain in your mind. When you accomplish that, you soon will be free of the act.

8. Put wholesome thoughts into your mind at all times. Read good books -- Church books -- Scriptures -- Sermons of the Brethern. Make a daily habit of reading at least one chapter of Scripture, preferably from one of the four Gospels in the New Testament. The four Gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John -- above anything else in the Bible can be helpful because of their uplifting qualities.
9. Pray. But when you pray, don't pray about this problem, for that will tend to keep it in your mind more than ever. Pray for faith, pray for understanding of the Scriptures, pray for the Missionaries, Landover Baptist Church, the Pastors, your friends, your families, BUT 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! The attitude of a person toward his problem has an affect on how easy it is to overcome. It is essential that a firm commitment be made to control the habit. As a person understands his reasons for the behavior, and is sensitive to the conditions or situations that may trigger a desire for the act, he develops the power to control it. As one meets with his Priesthood Leader, a program for overcoming masturbation can be implemented using some of these suggestions. Remember it is essential that a regular report program be agreed on, so progress can be recognized and failures understood and eliminated.

Friend,

Stop blaming other and take some personal responsibility. Dr Wierdsbe mention has been PROVEN(r) with Christian SCIENTIFIC Method(r). The only factor that is open to failure is you friend. Redo this method until you get it right!

Listen, you self-abusing talleywackerwacker, it's obvous your mind isn't right. Get your attitude right, and you CAN be cured of your sinful habit.

However, for those who have their hearts right and want to stop rubbing their filthy bits, here are a few suggestions on how to make the system work better:


1. Pray daily, ask for the gifts of the Spirit, that which will strengthen you against temptation. Pray fervently and out loud when the temptations are the strongest.

2. Follow a program of vigorous daily exercise. The exercises reduce emotional tension and depression and are absolutely basic to the solution of this problem. Double your physical activity when you feel stress increasing.
3. When the temptation to masturbate is strong, yell STOP to those thoughts as loudly as you can in your mind and then recite a prechosen Scripture or sing an inspirational hymn. It is important to turn your thoughts away from the selfish need to indulge.

4. When the urge is strong, try thinking about the ugliest person you can imagine, perhaps a retard you know, and try to think about kissing them. If this gets you randier, seek pastoral counseling immediately. For most people, this will be as good as a rock in your shoe.

In Christ,
Warren

I have also found that the electric shock collars used on dogs work equally well on people too. And it works for any bad habit. As soon as the bad thought or action occurs, it is just a matter of shocking it away! Eventually the thought or action will never come back as the body associates it with pain. That's the way I used when I broke my swearing and cursing habit. It only took 3 weeks, and I was happy to see that it didn't leave any permanent marks around my neck either.

Re: Curing the Homosexual and the Masturbator

Here are a few more tips to help the Prolific Pud-Pullers stop Onanizing themselves:


5. Set goals of abstinence, begin with a day, then a week, month, year and finally commit to never doing it again. Until you commit yourself to never again you will always be open to temptation.

6. Change in behavior and attitude is most easily achieved through a changed self-image. Spend time every day imagining yourself strong and in control, easily overcoming tempting situations. If you are given to being light in the loafers, cultivate a strong heterosexual self-image of someone who likes to kill small animals and eat them.

7. Begin to work daily on a self-improvement program. Relate this plan to improving your Church service, to improving your relationships with your family, God and others. Strive to enhance your strengths and talents.

8. Be outgoing and friendly. Force yourself to be with others and learn to enjoy working and talking to them. Use principles of developing friendships found in books such as How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. But don't use them with members of the same gender.
9. Be aware of situations that depress you or that cause you to feel lonely, bored, frustrated or discouraged. These emotional states can trigger the desire to masturbate (or "get jiggy with" a member of the same gender) as a way of escape. Plan in advance to counter these low periods through various activities, such as reading a book, visiting a friend, doing something athletic, etc.

Warren

1. Never touch the intimate parts of your body except during normal toilet processes.

I wanted to remind folks that kitchen tongs also function as toilet tongs. We started our son out with a pair as soon as he was potty trained. Elmer used to let him practice rotating the weenies on the barbecue.

Sister, that is a fantastic idea. I like that they are long enough to keep the boy's hands far away from his talleywhacker.

Here are a few more helpful suggestions:


10. 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. Your goal will be to have no black days. The calendar becomes a strong visual reminder of self control and should be looked at when you are tempted to add another black day. Keep your calendar up until you have at least three clear months. You must use black because black is the color of sin. Just ask Vavoline.

11. A careful study will indicate you have had the problem at certain times and under certain conditions. Try and recall, in detail, what your particular times and conditions were. Now that you understand how it happens, plan to break the pattern through counter activities. But be careful not to recall anything about the sinful act itself, or you may find yourself leading yourself back into sin.

12. In the field of psychotherapy there is a very effective technique called aversion therapy. When we associate or think of something very distasteful with something which has been pleasurable, but undesirable, the distasteful thought and feeling will begin to cancel out that which was pleasurable. If you associate something very distasteful with your loss of self-control it will help you to stop the act. For example, 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. This goes back to my earlier suggestion of thinking of some ugly retard and having to kiss them.

In Christ,
Warren

Re: Curing the Homosexual and the Masturbator

Perhaps we might solicit testimonials from respected Godly men as to how they maintain a self abuse free lifestyle while they are between marriages.

I bet Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Barr, etal, all have inspiring words for how they stayed chaste as they were scouring the world for their next concubine spouse.

It is easy, Anytime the sinful thoughts of harlots come into your mind with their fat covered bottoms just think of Jesus. Just picture Him with His kind blue eyes holding you in His embrace, comforting and protecting you from these disgusting, sin oozing harlots. This His love will fill you to your very depths and fill you with ecstasy!

GLORY!

#10. Rubbing Icy Hot or Ben Gay on your hands after you wash them will not only moisturize them, but will also make it painful to touch your choo choo (or eyes).

Thank you, Sister Thumper! Here are a few more from my list:


13. During your toileting and shower activities leave the bathroom door or shower curtain partly open, to discourage being alone in total privacy. Take cool brief showers (or long very cold showers--if you can't find it you can't pull it!)

14. Arise immediately in the mornings. Do not lie in bed awake, no matter what time of day it is. Get up and do something. Start each day with an enthusiastic activity. Everyone knows that morning wood dissipates quickly.

15. Keep your bladder empty. Refrain from drinking large amounts of fluids before retiring. (See#14)


16. Reduce the amount of spices and condiments in your food. Eat as lightly as possible at night. Spicy food makes spicy thoughts. This is why the Messicants have so many anchor babies.

17. Wear pajamas that are difficult to open, yet loose and not binding. Long flannel nightshirts even for men are difficult to do anything through. Just make sure they have manly images on them, not images of men.
18. Avoid people, situations, pictures or reading materials that might create sexual excitement. This could include your Sunday School teacher, the church organist, or, for extreme cases, the old spinster down at the nursing home. Avoid illiterate literature at all costs.

Some books that would be absolutely bonfire material might be any of the "Harry Potter" books, anything by Mark Twain, any so-called "Science Fiction," and much of the Old Testament (we won't mention which books because that's too much temptation for some of the weaker ones.

In Christ,

Re: Curing the Homosexual and the Masturbator

And the final few from my list:

18. Avoid people, situations, pictures or reading materials that might create sexual excitement. That might especially include Sister Bible Thumper, among other comely True Christians(TM).


19. It is sometimes helpful to have a physical object to use in overcoming this problem. An AV1611 King James Bible, firmly held in hand, even in bed at night has proven helpful in extreme cases.


20. 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. This can also be accomplished by wearing several layers of clothing which would be difficult to remove while half asleep.


21. Set up a reward system for your successes. It does not have to be a big reward. A quarter in a receptacle each time you overcome or reach a goal. Spend it on something which delights you and will be a continuing reminder of your progress.


22. Do not let yourself return to any past habit or attitude patterns which were part of your problem. Satan Never Gives Up. Be calmly and confidently on guard. Keep a positive mental attitude. You can win this fight! The joy and strength you will feel when you do will give your whole life a radiant and spiritual glow of satisfaction and fulfillment.

And remember, every one of these suggestions works just as well in curing the homosexual as it does in curing the masturbator! I sincerely hope we can see a rise in converted homers and repentant wankers!

In Christ,
Warren
