Breaking a bad habit. You described in your earlier answer that sometimes the problem of masturbation progresses to the point where someone feels the need to satisfy this urge with increased regularity and it can in itself become a god. What does one do if this has already occurred, if they feel as if they are a slave to this, have sought help through prayer but received no relief.

Sex is one occupation that can really take over, if given the chance.
Or they say that it's an innocent way to experience pleasure and hurts no one. On the surface, these arguments sound reasonable. Certainly pornography harms every individual involved in the making of it, and women who dance in erotic clubs, or who prostitute themselves, are not the glamorous beautiful people we are shown in movies. Many lives are adversely affected by our modern preoccupation with sex. Most men do think about sex often, and want to have sex on a regular basis.
