ere is a goody concerning how to "Stop the Disease of Masturbation" the Christian way. I'm not sure if it's genuine, but I wouldn't be surprised. I found this on the Usenet:

ENLIST THE POWER OF PRAYER!
When the temptation to masturbate is strong, yell, "Stop!" to those thoughts as loudly as you can in your mind. Then recite a portion of the Bible or sing a hymn.
SET GOALS! * If you masturbate, color that day black. Your goal will be to have no black days. The calendar becomes a strong visual reminder, and should be looked at when you are tempted to add another black day. * Set up a reward system. Each time you reach a goal, award yourself with a quarter. Spend it on something that delights you.
USE PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS!
- * Put on several layers of clothing that would be difficult to remove
while half-asleep.
- * Hold an object -- for example, a Bible -- even in bed at night.
- * In severe cases, tie a hand to the bed frame.
BE ALERT TO EMOTIONS!- * Employ aversion therapy. To cancel out the pleasureableness of masturbation, associate something very distasteful with the act. For example, imagine bathing in a tub of worms and eating some of them.
- * Be outgoing and friendly. Force yourself to be with others and learn to enjoy working and talking with them.
- * Hold an object -- for example, a Bible -- even in bed at night.
