You have this compulsion for the same reason that, in telling a child not to touch the cookie jar, you are most assuredly telling them not only to touch the jar, but reach their hand in to find out if there really are cookies in a cookie jar.
So what if it's filled with scorpions instead?
That's why it's best to explain why you should not do something, not simply say you should not. It's a form of communication, and human beings desperatly desire it.
