Then the brahmin Jāṇussoṇi went up to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him. When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, “Does Master Gotama claim to be celibate?”

“Brahmin, if anyone should be rightly said to live the celibate life unbroken, impeccable, spotless, and unmarred, full and pure, it’s me.”

“But what, Master Gotama, is a break, taint, stain, or mar in celibacy?”

“Firstly, an ascetic or brahmin who claims to be perfectly celibate does not mutually engage in sex with a female. However, they consent to being anointed, massaged, bathed, and rubbed by a female. They enjoy it and like it and find it satisfying. This is a break, taint, stain, or mar in celibacy. This is called one who lives the celibate life impurely, tied to the fetter of sex. They’re not freed from rebirth, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress. They’re not freed from suffering, I say.

Furthermore, an ascetic or brahmin who claims to be perfectly celibate does not mutually engage in sex with a female. Nor do they consent to massage and bathing. However, they giggle and play and have fun with females. …

they gaze into a female’s eyes. …

they listen through a wall or rampart to the sound of females laughing or chatting or singing or crying. …

they recall when they used to laugh, chat, and have fun with females …

they see a householder or their child amusing themselves, supplied and provided with the five kinds of sensual stimulation. …

They don’t see a householder or their child amusing themselves, supplied and provided with the five kinds of sensual stimulation. However, they live the celibate life wishing to be reborn in one of the orders of gods. They think: ‘By this precept or observance or mortification or spiritual life, may I become one of the gods!’ They enjoy it and like it and find it satisfying. This is a break, taint, stain, or mar in celibacy. This is called one who lives the celibate life impurely, tied to the fetter of sex. They’re not free from rebirth, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress. They’re not free from suffering, I say.

As long as I saw that these seven sexual fetters—or even one of them—had not been given up in me, I didn’t announce my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

But when I saw that these seven sexual fetters—every one of them—had been given up in me, I announced my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans. Knowledge and vision arose in me: ‘My freedom is unshakable; this is my last rebirth; now there’ll be no more future lives.’”

Confessions of St. Augustine
Science Discovers the Physiological Value of Continence.
The Coiled Serpsee.
On Onanism by Tissot.
All of BF Skinners books aside from his biography which is shit.
The works of old theologians (note, don't fall for the God nonsense)
Modern understanding of medicine to see how it validates the age old theories midwits mock.

Read these if you don't want to be a slave to masturbating 5 timed a day and hooking up with tinder women for fornication anymore. The ancients called fornication a fire. Once lit, if was almost impossible to douse it off you because the sensation is so strong. It is important to cultivate discipline and self control. Also take amphetamine and chew nicotine gum, which will regrow the intellectual parts of the brain that cooming made atrophy.

Monks avoided masturbating because they knew it was what God wanted. And I'm not saying this in the sense of "just become a Christian". These guys KNEW that God existed, from their first memories to their dying breath they lived in a world where they saw God in everything from the most mundane breeze in the wind to the most beautiful meteor showers to the terrible burning of entire cities, and everyone they ever met agreed with them. It was their reality they the being who created everything and everyone and could do anything wanted them to not masturbate because He said it was bad and who are you to question Him. You don't live in the world anymore. You're the Last Man (or maybe he already died and you're the ape that comes afterwards). What animates you to get up in the morning, go to work, participate in whatever hobbies you have? Habit? Pleasure-seeking? Whatever it is, it won't stop you from wasting your time and energy masturbating like God did for those monks. So maybe you should look for something that will.
