Why sexual feelings and behaviour were previously difficult to change?
Those who have been in the habit of masturbating would typically have developed unconscious mental processes that trigger and reinforce the habit (the way obese people become more attuned to food and gratification as their stomachs and bodies get larger from over-eating). It's only by practising specific exercises and meditations to undo these unconscious associations (rather persistent once formed) that a person can permanently break free from the habit. Likewise the habit of offensive sexual behaviour requires the practice of specific exercises and meditations to undo the unconscious associations that perpetuate the habit. So we have to change the heart of the matter - the unconscious part of the brain where our emotions and passions are formed. A good conscience and sense of moral restraint in an individual with a low sex drive would prevent someone who masturbates with deviant sexual fantasies from acting them out with a victim. Likewise, an extremely strong moral conscience or fear of reproach is needed to restrain a highly sexed person with offensive desires. But some highly sexed people who are normally well controlled may offend when judgement is impaired by alcohol. Sheer will power with an unchanged heart will fail when a person is tempted while feeling spiritually low or when his judgement is impaired by alcohol. Some respected business men and wealthy socialites from Western countries would go on business trips or arranged tours to Asia or Africa where they sexually abused children in brothels and then went back to live "clean lives" at home in between the trips. This kind of behaviour happens when people believe they can get away with it without anyone finding out. But it will trouble your conscience until you do something about it.

What information does the clinic need from me?
In order to compile a personal exercise strategy, some information regarding your sexual feelings and behaviour (but no names or identity details) is required. Please complete and submit this questionnaire intended to help you describe your individual feelings and the type of change you want to undergo.
