I'm always so in awe of God' love when I give birth to a child blessed with a pair of testicles rather than ovaries! But anyway, Brother Pendergast, I thought I'd offer something that helps in the Etheldreda home. We have our fair number of teenage boys here and they know better than to suffer nocturnal emissions by Satan's hand. One thing we have done since they were babies is to put each child in their own set of Armor of God Pajamas each night to sleep. This is their sleeping uniforms until marriage when they move out and start multiplying on their own. This helps to remind them as they drift off to sleep, and I like to think it puts out a kind of spiritual beacon, like infrared light that only God can see, to note when and where they are sleeping in case they need extra protection from the devil.
We also use bedwetting alarms with all the boys. Let me tell you, there is nothing more helpful at taming the habit of sleep-time lusts like hearing a loud alarm go off, the excitement of the entire family suddenly forced out of bed, running from room to room to see who needs prayer and support from a loving mother, father, and siblings.
