Masturbating Ugandans!

So help me gods, but me, sexually liberal me, who is gay and living in a (gasp) loving, homosexual partnership, I don’t believe that masturbation is a bad thing. I mean, that was the very firstest way that I, ascended, reached the peak. And I have faithfully and wonderfully become re-acquinted with the practice.

It is cheap, easy, accessible.

I masturbate. My lover masturbates. I mean, we both masturbate, looking in one another’s eyes. And love seeing the others climax. Wont tell you the lovely, depraved things that we do after that… I mean, this blog is already XXX-rated.

But, here is an article about masturbation in the New Vision.

Kick the masturbation vice out of you

FEAR, hopelessness and guilt are some of its fruits. But despite this, masturbation has been lauded as an HIV preventive practice and that it reduces the chances of rape. Moralists, however, argue that the bad effects of masturbation are worse than its merits.

Steven Langa, a counsellor with the Family Life Network in Kampala, says when a person gets addicted to the habit, he can suffer from impulsive masturbation. “Here, the habit has really got out of hand,’’ he explains.

Sexual malfunction, Langa adds, can result, especially among the young.

“For instance, if they are still far from finishing an exam, they can involuntarily masturbate when the supervisor announces the remaining time.”

He says after masturbation, the victim only regrets the act. “The person wants to escape but cannot.”

Gerald Kiyingi, a doctor at Kawolo Hospital, says one might lose interest in his partner, which can result in instability in marriage.

Since God didn’t create man to gratify himself, masturbation is against God’s design for two people of the opposite sex to explore each other.

Besides, counsellors argue, the habit is associated with shame and low self esteem. This is because the person starts comparing himself to other people.

Prevention

According to Langa, for a person to stop masturbating, practices like reading and watching pornographic material should be stopped.

Mark Petersen, in Steps in Overcoming Masturbation, offers ideas to help curb the vice. He argues that making a decision to end the practice is itself a great leap towards victory.

When in bed, if that is where you have your problem, 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 start removing protective clothing, you will have sufficiently controlled your thinking that the temptation would leave you, Petersen counsels.

Following a programme of vigorous daily exercise could be of help. Petersen says the exercise reduces emotional tension and depression, basic requirements in curbing the vice. Double physical activity when you feel stress increasing.

If you are being tempted, you are advised to distract yourself. This can be by turning your thoughts to constructive business.

If you are Christian or Muslim, you can memorise a verse from the Bible or Koran. He adds that reading a book, visiting a friend or doing athletics can counter the vice.

Gosh, why are all things that are good and lovely, errr, evil????? Makes me thank the gods I don’t believe such nonsense! Bahhhh!
