I wanted to share some brain research with you today. Step one, you create a high chemical reward when you release sexually. Step two, you bond or connect to that image, or person. This bond is long term, not just immediate. Step three, your body stores this bond and you are attracted by that person, and image, in reality or fantasy. You create a landmine. Step four, your environment or fantasy world can recreate this landmine and, whamo, you are flooded physically with feelings toward an innocent person or image.

When you sin sexually, you create these internal landmines that your body stores (for better or for worse). When you sin by engaging in sexual behaviors without your wife (not a fantasy of them), you sin against your own body. 

Some of you have also set up a similar attachment to a fantasy person who looks like your wife. The fantasy has the same face and body, but often the fantasy wife is, let’s say, more amorous, or more creative than your wife. Now you can get really frustrated when your wife doesn’t measure up to the one you created. I never recommend that married men masturbate to their wife because it can really cause problems.

Don’t worry. I can hear some of you thinking, “Doc, I’m already messed up, so now what do I do?” Trust me; I know what it’s like to carry around a defective brain that has been rewarded to lust. I also have had a clean brain for more than forty years and have helped many men clean up their brains, so they could also live a clean life.
