INTRODUCTION

Masturbation, like other secret practices especially among the youth, could become chronic with those who indulge in it if not dealt with early. The causes behind this secret practice vary from one participant to the other. But in general terms, I could confidently state that first of all, it is because of the unsatisfactory manner this sensitive subject has been treated by some social commentators, moral crusaders, clinical psychologists, clergy, youth counsellors etc.

Secondly, it is due to the fact that we live in era, where the emphasis placed on the value of sexual morality has been at its lowest ebb in recent times. This generation has witnessed probably one of the alarming rates in the practice of sexual immorality of all kinds and levels in the history of mankind. This should not surprise you, because we are in the end time where the bible says in (Matthew24:12) that sin shall increase.

Many are of the view that masturbation is healthy especially for the youth. Others are against this view, and to them, the act is unhealthy and it should not be encouraged. Another group believes that the act is immoral in the light of the bible. On the same religious grounds, some argue that the act has nothing to do with immorality. This is due to the fact that, to begin with, the word ‘Masturbation’ is not mentioned at anywhere in the bible.

As your reading progresses and gets deeper, whether the bible condemns the act or not, you shall pretty soon find out. However, it should be noted without any shred of ambiguity that the main aim of masturbation is to achieve sexual gratification outside the marriage bed. It is just like other illicit sexual practices, it produces the same result.

I should state categorically that there is no need for anyone reading this book to worry as to which is right or wrong. This is because all the controversies surrounding and besetting this sensitive subject have been intellectually solved in a comprehensive manner. This is against the bedrock that this book is richly and adequately informed to purposely throw the needed insightful light on the causes and consequences of masturbation and many more as enumerated on the table of contents.

This intellectual project is worth spending time on, because of the high endorsement given to it by many parents, moral activists, school heads, youth counsellors and as well as the clergy. To them, this is a ‘must read’ for all, especially the youth, in a sense that the book was not designed only for males, but also for females. This is due to the great concern which the author has shown for girls/women, who are battling with the insatiable urge to masturbate. At the end, the book is expected to help:

a.  Those who have not masturbated before would be able to appreciate the reason not to ever attempt to indulge in this regrettable act.

b.  To help rescue males and females who are at the verge of becoming active masturbators due to ignorance.

c.  To help educate the adolescents, adults and the unmarried old folks on how to effectively control their sexual feelings without indulging in masturbation.

d.  To provide clear cut guidelines and solution to help rescue masturbators who sincerely desire to break out of its addiction and put permanent stop to it.
