I think I’ll let this post go without a picture. I know many men and women fall to this sin and you won’t hear a peep about it unless maybe your listening to Fr. Corapi, God Bless him. A good way to combat this sin is frequent confession and the regular reading of sacred scripture. Also unplug yourself from those things that lead you to this sin. Give up the internet or have someone setup a filter on your computer, stop your subscription to cable tv, and throw out that romance novel.
CCC 2352 By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. “Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action.”138 “The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose.” For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of “the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved.”139
