• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

How does regular mastrubation affect married sex life. My husband mastrubates regularly but denies it and I have caught him and confronted him but he always has some lame excuse does anyone have advice for me?
It destroys intimacy (not just physical but emotional and spiritual as well). He is more than likely a sex addict.

Tell him you love him and only want what's best for your marriage and then insist that he get help.

if it was my hubb... i'd tell him i couldn't believe his explanations, and it left me curious. let him know he doesn't have to be embarrassed... ask him to open up so you can share or help him with issue. let him have time or days to pray about it. if he's not a christian. you pray about it.

It should only affect it if you let it. It is a natural urge and I understand many men do it even after they are married. It doesn't mean he loves you any less. If you make a big deal about it, then it will affect you. If you blow it off and be glad thats all he does and decide boys will be boys, then it won't matter at all.
