Better than what my grandmother (who was not the best person) told me when I was very small and taking a bath- "if you keep touching it, a man will come with a scissors and cut it off." Even now more than 40 years later, just typing it kind of freaks me out because it scared me so much.

On the other hand, it never stopped me from masturbating, so I guess she failed there.

Nothing stops masturbation. Best you get is creating a complex around it.

But when I was a kid and in the "I grew a fidget spinner!" phase of the late single digits, my mom told me that it i didn't stop playing with it, it would get stuck in a random position and then I'd have to lay on my side to pee.
