So I was going to just write a "Agreed nt" post to CSL but then I read your response and I understand what you mean better.

You don't think masturbation in and of itself is bad but you want to know you can control it. That I can understand.

I have a desire to know I can control myself, to gain better self restraint and control over my mind and body. I have decided if I could go for a length of time without masturbating not because it is bad but just to test myself to see if I could (I have also given up other things that are hard for me not to do just to see if I could, to know I have more control over myself then these things or actions). I have given it up during lent for 40 days and a few other times for a few weeks.

Make sure you have a plan, here's some suggestions though your plan will have to be yours.

Start with a short goal at first. 1 or 2 weeks
Try to avoid things that will arouse you
It helps if you are otherwise busy during this time


Good luck,
