Cemar: Have you ever been tested for ADHD? I mean no offense by that, but seriously I've told you the answer to your question at least 3 times. I know you skim these boards and all, but sheesh! If you were my friend IRL, I'd say How many times do I have to tell ya!
We are Roman Catholic and our religion states that masturbation is a no-no. All sexual energies are to go from husband to wife and vice versa. The biblical source for this comes from the story of Onan.
This may sound ridiculous to you, but lemme tell ya something. I have never been so dedicated to fixing my marriage since I stopped doing it! LOL It really makes me focused on the task at hand--I have no other outlet.
MrH would not explode without mb. He gets sexual release at least twice a week, with 3 times being the goal. So no I am not surprised in the least that he is not tempted to mb.
However, even when I was postpartum and it was going on 3 weeks, he was horny sure, but not freaking out. He is very much in control of his bodily urges.
Though this last Wednesday was his day to fast and he was having a helluva time. ?? He fasts as part of an organization called E5, after Ephesians 5, which I believe starts out "Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church." Anyway, he offers up this fasting in my behalf every month. I find it very sweet. This past time he was having a hard time of it and saying, I was so into it at first...gee, I guess that's how I am with everything regarding you!
I know he didn't mean anything hurtful but it still stung!
