You are a rapist if you masturbate – Nigerian therapist

A Nigerian therapist, Timi Oyebode makes new claim about masturbation, says “anybody who masturbates is a serial rapist.”

The sex and trauma recovery therapist and counselor who is also a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, was quoted by the official handle of the RCCG Pastors’ Seeds.

According to Timi Oyebode, masturbating involves thinking of someone else and if such person has not given such permission, it is same thing as rape.

Part of her statement reads;

You can’t Masturbate without imagining someone in mind and when you do such, you are partaking in RAPE.

For the person you picture in your mind hasn’t given you the right to touch or picture them in your mind.

She went further to shares tips of overcoming masturbation.

1. Acknowledged that you are Wrong. Note that You are not to be blamed.
2. 2. Open up to someone about it. Sexual struggle thrives in secrecy.
3. Block the entries to your inner eyes. Guard them and be careful of what you see, read, listen to and your conversations.
4. 4. Get rid of everything that inspires you to masturbate and get an accountability partner (Someone to uphold you even when you fall).
5. Protect your body from your hands. Dress us. Find the triggers and pull up preventions against them. Also, as some people are able to overcome on their own, others need therapeutical support. GET HELP.
