My sick mind used to think that masturbating frequently would help me avoid prostate cancer and that it also kept my hair from going grey. I'm over 50 with all of my hair, my colonoscopy came back negative last year, and I only a few grey strands. This is genetics and having a healthy living/eating lifestyle and not porn right?
Ringo: I never justified my PMO for health reasons, but it is obvious to me now that it was to cover up feelings and emotions I did not want to deal with. I justified my actions, while married, but telling myself sex with my wife sucked. Now I find I'm struggling to even initiate sex when I want that connection! Acting out for me had nothing to do with health and everything to do with shame and lacking self-confidence. I think one of the reasons I'm doing so well now is that I finally worked through some of the confidence shit and I'm tired of feeling the shame.
