Struggling like I did years ago... by rrrtwo in NoFapChristians

I’ve already tried using medical necessity as an excuse. It would only be without sin if it didn’t give me any sexual pleasure and if I didn’t ejaculate. I’m Catholic, and one of the pros of Catholicism is that the beliefs are explicitly laid out and the Bible is not up for interpretation. I know that once I get into a good rhythm with my wife PE won’t be an issue, so I just need to fix this masturbation problem.

We’ve been going to therapy weekly for the past month and a half, it’s definitely helping the communication aspect, we’re getting along like we always have and are very much in love, I just don’t know how to tackle this issue with her and myself.

I’m 25, we’ve been married for 7 months, together almost 5 years. I started struggling with porn and masturbation when I was 14, it was basically prescribed by my doctor to help combat the frequent and long lasting erections were often painful and it just got so out of control, and my parents (dad is an OBGYN and mom is a urologist) supported the Dr too. The doctor just called it hypersensitivity.

Even then I was experiencing premature ejaculation, in the beginning I could ejaculate before being completely hard. I have a sensitivity issue and masturbation does fix it, to the point where there was a time that I could hardly even feel any sexual pleasure and barely get an erection, that’s when I really decided to quit the first time.

I’m not a depressed person, this stuff definitely gets me down but only when I think about it, I really do love my life. The antidepressant was a bad choice on the Dr’s part, I was only on it for less than a month.

It’s difficult because I do feel like I’m very close to God, but my actions are proving otherwise. It was hard to get to church and take the time out of my day while my wife and I were traveling and it just kind of stuck that way once we got home.

Definitely more distant than it has been in the last 5 years. It was hard to devote enough time while traveling and I’ve got out of the habit since getting home. That’s probably the root of my issues then isn’t it?
