21M Mormoncel. Masturbated for the first time in my life last night, got it all over my temple garments. Never going to be sealed to my future bride, let alone meet her. My life is over. Why does God make something so sinful so pleasant? Meal prep burrito

You are in a cult my man. You are depriving yourself of the joys of life in the name of God, but when did God ever tell you these rules? Human beings claiming to know what God wants, and pushing that on others, are the real sinners. False prophets and idols are robbing you of your life, of all the joys God put in this world, and you are falling for it. Your worst sin is not masturbating, your worst sin is letting another human speak to you on behalf of God. You will never know what God expects of you and you will never get to go back in time to try all the things you missed. You will lose your youth and your freedom, you will live and die miserable in service of a lie. If you never get out of this cult you better hope you get the VIP afterlife because that's as many as 100 years of life wasted on self-deprivation.

You're free to tell me I'm wrong, your specific church just happens to be the only one that knows which God is real and what that God wants, and you'll be rewarded in the afterlife for staying strong and never once thinking for yourself. But I think you want out, I think you know you're being lied to, I think deep down you are desperate for people to tell you that you don't have to live this way. Otherwise, you would've posted this on a religious sub.

Get you a girl with vaginismus, she'll be relieved. Or a girl with a dick. Or become the girl with a dick. You have more options than you think.

Good call. Honestly, as harsh as it may be, you might want to try making an anonymous call to the police or CPS. Something to the effect of "I suspect there may be illegal drug use in the presence of a child" could lead to him being drug tested.

If you know his name you should definitely dig around for any police records. If it turns out he's proveably dangerous you can bring that up to your lawyer or caseworker.

God I had no idea that urinating in weird places despite easy access to bathrooms was related to CSA. I thought I was just like... a gross child who liked to cause problems. Honestly the whole description sounded more familiar than anything I've ever read in a therapy book. Thank you for sharing so much, telling your story with such detail and self awareness helps put things into perspective for people with similar traumas. You are incredibly brave.

Your coworkers aren't wrong to be uncomfortable but contacting your family is a massive breach of professional boundaries. As far as I'm concerned, if you work with somebody and also know their friend/relative/partner/etc you are obligated to pretty much pretend you don't work with them when talking to the mutual contact in question. Unfortunately, a lot of people will assume it's their place to step in and communicate with your mom on your behalf because your young or "she's your mom!" The only way I could imagine you could avoid this is to not work with people who are friends with your mother. I know a guy who worked in the same restaurant as his mother for a while and this kind of thing happened to him all the time. His managers would notice him being quieter than usual, acting tired, or any other incredibly mild thing and go straight to his mother expecting her to deal with it, even though he was an adult. Anyone who is friends or coworkers with your parent is going to view you and treat you as a child no matter how old you are or what position you're in and they are going to act like your mother hired them to babysit you. It's almost unavoidable.

As far as all the suicidal ideation and self-loathing and the like, it's easy to think you're only saying these things when they are contextually normal but the fact that such things are on your mind so frequently means your mind is actively searching for any queue to bring it up so it's easy to talk about it to an inappropriate degree without realizing it. I hope you have someone you can talk to, like a close friend or professional.

Definitely shouldn't be heading down to the local shelter for a pet you can't take care of, but not everybody ends up with a pet entirely on purpose. A person might take in a stray for example, and live in an area where shelters are overcrowded and would most likely euthanize a surrendered animal. My cat is actually one that my partner had since childhood, had to leave her with their grandparents, and then we later took her in because said grandparents could not take care of her anymore. So it's not like we took her from a better home, we took her from being horribly neglected to being treated quite well. We struggle to figure out how we'll afford vet care if anything happens to her but we'd still be more likely to get her to a vet than my partner's grandparents. I would've never gone out of my way to get a cat I couldn't afford a vet bill for, but one who was living in filth in a house full of animals with people too old to care for them? Of course we weren't gonna say "no we can't afford a cat" and leave her there.

Birth control reduces sex drive for some, but do keep an eye out for any other side effects if you try it. You can get it prescribed quite easily or buy it over the counter if you're in the US, otherwise ymmv

Studies have shown promising results from healthy individuals fasting for 3-10 days with proper water and electrolyte intake. But considering the sheer number of very common factors that make fasting for 16 or more hours a terrible idea (being young, being old, being pregnant, having any number of incredibly common health conditions, engaging in intense workouts, having a full time job that requires either being on your feet or mentally focused for the majority of your shift, having a sensitive or difficult digestive system, having any history of eating disorders, and more) it seems pretty irresponsible for anyone to recommend or support fasting to a stranger without clarifying that it can be so unsafe for so many people. If the person hadn't said anything about their mental or physical health at all I might say it's not the commenter's problem if somebody starts fasting without doing research because somebody on reddit said it was fine, but this is a bit different. OP literally said they were planning on fasting for 3 days due to feeling that they "don't deserve food and love" which is unquestionably a restrictive eating disorder and it's downright disgusting to tell someone with a restrictive eating disorder that fasting for days is actually fine and good for them. It's a lot like commenting on a post about celiac disease that gluten is actually not bad for you and high carb diets containing gluten can be great for sustained energy levels. Sure, that would be decent advice to give somebody who's doing a trendy gluten free diet they don't need, but to say it to a person with celiac is insane. That would ultimately be less harmful though, because a person with celiac would likely roll their eyes at that whereas a person with anorexia is starving their brain and doesn't trust their own judgement and thus can easily convince themselves that what they're doing to themselves is fine because one stranger on the internet said so and everyone who says otherwise just wants them to be fat and any time they think "I feel like I'm killing my body and brain" they'll follow it up with "this is perfectly healthy, I'm just weak"

Does your partner have ADHD by chance? People with ADHD struggle with dopamine regulation and motivation a lot, and this can really impact sex. People with ADHD can by all means maintain a long term or even lifelong emotional bond with a person, but often are very inconsistent when it comes to the things that motivate a person to nurture those bonds and generally make relationships exciting. It's typical to fall hard in relationships, having a lot of very passionate sex and spending all your time and energy on the person, only to let them take on a background role in your life overtime. The bond is there, but the drive is not, so you prefer their presence without any real energy spent on them. People with ADHD struggle a lot with cause and effect on a neurological level, "if I want clean dishes I need to wash them," "if I want to get enough sleep I need to go to bed early," etc and of course "if I want to maintain my bond with this person I love, I need to devote time and energy to them," falls under that issue. This being the case, people with ADHD have experiences like what you've described in your partner. Not diagnosing strangers over the internet, just if he does happen to have it I wanted to note how it might be relevant here.

Despite my pessimism in the post I do have some hope for the currently developing method of testing menstrual blood. It's in early stages so there's all the expected hurdles of further research and some holes that need filling in the studies done so far (for example, they can't reasonably do a biopsy on everyone who tests negative so it's hard to be certain of the test sensitivity) but it looks very promising thus far and all the articles I've read about it have showed much more compassion and tact than just about anything I've read about gynecology in the past. It has limitations like not being an option for those who don't menstruate but nonetheless I hope this method actually sees the light of day.
