    If you are courting, be determined to remain chaste, even when talking on the phone. An engaged Christian woman named Leticia says: "My fiancé and I have read together Bible-based articles on staying chaste. We appreciate the way they have helped us maintain a clean conscience." Have the courage to change the topic if your talk becomes suggestive. Consult together about the need to keep your conversations clean.

    In some lands, advertisements for telephone sex are featured on television late at night. Perhaps it would be best for you simply to avoid watching late-night TV. Since masturbation will similarly arouse, rather than deaden, immoral thoughts, it is vital that you avoid this unclean practice.You can successfully expel unclean thoughts from your mind by dwelling on upright things. Surround yourself with friends who use wholesome speech, and read God's Word and Christian publications daily to fortify your resolve. In this way you will not allow room for immoral fantasies to creep in and corrupt your thinking. Most important, pray to God for help.

    "You can successfully expel unclean thoughts from your mind by dwelling on upright things."

    There you go lads, stop dwelling on your upright thing and start dwelling on upright things instead.

    Yeah... but please spare the "dirty passages" of the bible. The song of Solomon is a no-no.

    Since masturbation will similarly arouse... immoral thoughts

    That's odd... I thought it worked the other way around!

    Is this a quote? If so please use the reference, otherwise it is an unsubstantiated statement.

    Thanks

    The dating couple would find very encouraging the reading of Proverbs 5 together:

    Let your water source prove to be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth, a lovable hind and a charming mountain goat. Let her own breasts intoxicate you at all times. With her love may you be in an ecstasy constantly. So why should you, my son, be in an ecstasy with a strange woman or embrace the bosom of a foreign woman?

    That's from the New World Translation, Prov 5:18-20...
