How to do away with masturbation
Masturbation has defined by the Oxford dictionary is the erotic stimulation especially of one's own genital organs commonly resulting in orgasm and achieved by using the hands. Many people think that masturbation is something not to worry about but in real sense, it is a very bad addiction and has negative effect on your physical and spiritual life.
Once it is in to you, it is hard to leave behind except with determination and Divine help from God. Masturbation is difficult to do away because the brain inclines with the pleasure it gives thereby asking for more as times goes on till it becomes a daily dose.
1 Corinthians 6:19 says " What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" With this scripture given, we don't have any right to abuse or stain the temple of God. By masturbating, you separate yourself from God even though he still loves you.
People who are addicted to masturbation will often deny the fact that they've become addicts but with this following tips, you can avoid masturbation or become addicted to it.
