A Stroke of Genius

This guy is not only choosing, for Christian reasons, to take a 40-day hiatus from masturbation, but he’s also blogging about it.

“Rick,” a 20-year-old Krispy Kreme employee, is undertaking the endeavor in order to achieve "purity," and is doing so along with an “accountability partner,” because (as he says), “you have to tell someone, and find someone that will join you and not masturbate for the next 40 days!” Yes, I suppose it’s logical that finding a “partner” who will “join you” is an excellent way to reduce your overall masturbation habit, though I suspect “Rick” doesn’t exactly mean what I mean.

We learn all this from a piece in Wired that describes a group calling themselves “Christian pornographers” who encourage Internet porn surfers to embrace the Lord instead. Remember those posters that said “every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten?” That was them too, though I'd had no idea it was legit.

Only he just gave it up for Lent.
