Related: About this forumBYU to Undergrads: Self-Love Is A Battlefield
The Mormon university is urging its students to narc on chronic masturbators, whose fight against self-pleasure is like rescuing a fallen soldier during war.The temptations of the Great War are many. The battles are real, and the strategies are clever. The enemy is cruel, ruthless, and relentless. We must not underestimate the danger. We must be vigilant and valiant.
In other words, dont masturbate.
Confused? So are undergraduates at Brigham Young Universitys satellite campus in Idaho. A motivational video released by the schools Housing and Student Living office urges students to report friends, roommates, or themselves if they suspect that they are masturbating too much. Hoping to combat the social stigma against those who speak up in the face of evil, the video urges BYU students to not leave the wounded on the masturbatory battlefield.
The videos protagonist, a lonely, confused young man whose roommates ignore his onanistic impulses until he becomes addicted to pornography and quits attending church, is shown injured on a World War I-style battlefield. His friends, after hesitating for fear of being a tattle-tale, rescue him in the midst of heavy crossfire and celebrate his return with a round of (non-pocket) pool. The reformed porn addict shares a knowing look with his roommate, who is always there to lend a helping hand.
We need a tissue.

Masturbating too much? Really?
A mental illness -- or, in this case, more specifically an addiction -- is defined by the APA as any behavior that interferes with one's socio-occupational functioning. This means, ipso facto, a person who is "addicted to porn" or "addicted to masturbating" must be so busy choking the bishop they're performing poorly in school or at work. Any man even remotely familiar with how the old wedding tackle works will tell you this is almost fucking impossible. Your body knows when you're masturbating "too much", and it will tell you. Spies need not enter into this.
