WHAT TO DO TO AVOID MASTURBATION
Pioneer in sex education Dr. Max Exner spoke directly to young men in The Rational Sex Life for Men. Written in the early twentieth-century, when masturbation was considered "self-absue" and a danger to one's health, Exner emphasized self-control, urging men towards abstinence by exercising vigorously (he also worked for the YMCA) and pursuing wholesome hobbies.
