÷ ANOTHER CONVERSATION [In a Campus Youth Forum] ON MASTURBATION ÷ Youth Retreats and Conferences are often very exciting, in the midst of all, the comedies, the dramas and the unexpected questions add colour to the already charged atmosphere. At the end of my TALK on that particular occasion, a young male undergraduate stood up in the forum and hilariously said: "Father, please address us all, I beg, on the issues of MASTURBATION ... That thing has finished many of us up, even these decent looking females are involved too ...", He added, "Hope you all here are feeling my point and are with me on this? “ Seriously, there was an indefinite uproar in the hall, I couldn't immediately discern whether it was a rebellion or an acclamation. With the return of normalcy, I proceeded in this line of Explications: ACCORDING TO CCC 2352, THE CHURCH TEACHES THAT, "BY MASTURBATION IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD THE DELIBERATE STIMULATION OF THE GENITAL ORGANS IN ORDER TO DERIVE SEXUAL PLEASURE. 'BOTH THE MAGISTERIUM OF THE CHURCH, IN THE COURSE OF A CONSTANT TRADITION, AND THE MORAL SENSE OF THE FAITHFUL HAVE BEEN IN NO DOUBT AND HAVE FIRMLY MAINTAINED THAT MASTURBATION IS AN INTRINSICALLY AND GRAVELY DISORDERED ACTION'. 'THE DELIBERATE USE OF THE SEXUAL FACULTY, FOR WHATEVER REASON, OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE IS ESSENTIALLY CONTRARY TO ITS PURPOSE'. FOR HERE SEXUAL PLEASURE IS SOUGHT OUTSIDE OF 'THE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS DEMANDED BY THE MORAL ORDER AND IN WHICH THE TOTAL MEANING OF MUTUAL SELF-GIVING AND HUMAN PROCREATION IN THE CONTEXT OF TRUE LOVE IS ACHIEVED' ". [Ref: The Catechism Of The Catholic Church] ~ ~ I then went further to elucidate more to the active and highly interested audience, in more practical terms that, [1.] MASTURBATION IS OFTEN IS HIGHLY SECRET/PRIVATE ACTIVITY BECAUSE IT'S INHERENTLY SHAMEFUL AND DISORDERED. [2.] MANY PIOUS AND RELIGIOUS MINDED PERSONS ARE INVOLVED IN IT, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT, EVEN THOUGH IT TROUBLES THEIR CONSCIENCES, THAT, THEIR INTEGRITY REMAINS INTACT (Self deception in definition). [3.] MANY HEALTH CONSCIOUS GUYS AND LADIES ARE INTO IT BELIEVING THAT NO SEXUAL INFECTIONS MAY EVER BE TRANSMITTED THEREIN (But, what about the spiritual and the psychological damages involved). [4.] IT'S A STATISTICAL FACT THAT A LOT OF LADIES ARE INVOLVED IN MASTURBATION AS MUCH AS THE GUYS/MEN ... AND THE COUNT IS ON THE RISE BECAUSE OF A HIGHLY SEXUALIZED SOCIETY. [5.] MASTURBATION IS DANGEROUS SIN, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF IT'S POWER TO ADDICT AND TO ENSLAVE (But, freedom is sweeter and more ecstatic). [6.] MASTURBATION MAY OFFER AN IMMEDIATE PLEASURE AND RELIEF, BUT, ITS OFTEN FOLLOWED UP BY A SENSE OF SHAME, GUILT, SENSE OF DIRTINESS, DEPRESSIONS AND LONG-TERM PSYCHOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN. [7.] A MEDICAL SCHOOL OF THOUGHT DISCOVERED THAT MASTURBATION IN OF GUYS/MEN IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF WEAK ERECTIONS, LACK OF SEXUAL-CONFIDENCE, AND PREMATURE EJACULATIONS (That's not a good story in Marriage... Fact!) [8.] MASTURBATION IN LADIES OFTEN LEAD TO PSYCHOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN, LESBIANISM, SELF-INFECTIONS THROUGH DIRTY HANDS AND intimacy gadgets, UNBRIDLED LUST AND THE BREAKDOWN OF THE POWER OF SEXUAL RESISTANCE. [8.] FROM AN EXORCIST'S POINT OF VIEW, MASTURBATION OFTEN OPEN UP AN EFFECTIVE CHANNEL FOR DEMONIC POSSESSION OF A HUMAN PERSON. UNCLEAN SPIRITS HAVE A SERIOUS BUSINESS WITH A MASTURBATOR! [9.] YOU CAN NEVER AT ANY POINT IN YOUR LIFE BE PROUD THAT YOU EVER MASTURBATED. [10.] EVEN SOME MARRIED MEN AND WOMEN PRIVATELY MASTURBATES .... BECAUSE ITS AN ENSLAVEMENT-HABIT. [10.] PHONE-SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, PORNOGRAPHY, IDLENESS, BOREDOM, LUSTFUL FANTASIES AND INDECENT DISCUSSIONS ARE THE LEADING CAUSES OF MASTURBATION (Be careful about the OCCASIONS of sin). [11.] SOME ACTS OF MASTURBATIONS ARE EITHER ENGINEERED OR ENCOURAGED BY A SECOND PARTY. (Be very careful about the quality of your friendships ... I Beg) [12.] MASTURBATION HAS NEVER TRULY BEEN A RELIEF NOR A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO OTHER SEXUAL SINS, BECAUSE, EVIL CAN NEVER CONTROL NOR CORRECT EVIL! [13.] MASTURBATION DOESN'T HELP NOR PROTECT YOUR VIRGINITY, IT RATHER CONVERTS YOU INTO AN UNCHASTE BIOLOGICAL VIRGIN!! (No apologies here at all!) [14.] NO MATTER THE HUMANISTIC OR THE SCI-FI DEFENSE FOR THE ACTS OF MASTURBATION, IT REMAINS INHERENTLY SHAMEFUL, DEBASED, ENSLAVING AND AN UNHEALTHY ACTIVITY (No wonder it is often a very secret activity ... An act of darkness). [15.] THE MORE YOU MASTURBATES, THE DEEPER YOU DESCEND INTO IT, THE MORE COMPLICATED IT BECOMES. [16.] MASTURBATION HAS NEVER TRULY HELPED ANYONE. IT COMPLEXIFIES YOUR LUSTFUL COMPLICATIONS. [17.] AS A CHRISTIAN PERSON OR A RELIGIOUS SOUL, MASTURBATION WEAKENS YOUR SPIRIT-MAN, DESTROYS YOUR PRAYERLIFE, REDUCES THE DIVINE ANOINTING UPON YOU, MAKES YOU BOTH GUILTY AND DIRTY, AND, BREAKS DOWN YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE AND SELF-WORTH. (Masturbation is neither a currency nor a value .... Because, it's not worth it) ~ ~ What then is the way out This question was resonance in the forum; The summarised answer that I immediately offered to them was = CONFESSIONS, GO FOR COUNSELLING, RENEWED PRAYERLIFE, SELF-CONTROL, KEEPING BUSY OFTEN, AVOIDANCE OF OCCASIONS OF SUCH SINS, BEING FOCUSED IN LIFE, AND BEING PRINCIPLED .... TRY BEING A PERSON OF THE INTELLECT AND OF THE SPIRIT .... AND NEVER A CARNAL VAIN SOUL! These are non-complicated but very effective for your Freedom and for your Ascension in life. [THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO APPLAUSE FOR ME BY THE YOUTHS/STUDENTS IN THAT FORUM, AFTER I DEALT WITH THIS MASTURBATION ISSUE .... BUT THE SOBER AND REPENTANT LOOKS ON THE FACES OF THEIR YOUNG SOULS AND EYES WERE ENOUGH PAY FOR A HUMBLE MAN-OF-GOD]!¡ Happy Weekend @All .... Enjoy the Conversations.
