I believe i masturbated in my sleep or awake

[i_need_helpp]

okay, i really dont know if i was awake but, sometimes i dream that im masturbating, i dont do it deliberately im worried because i just had confession, should i just say i masturbated in confession ? i hope i didnt commit a mortal sin, i know Masturbation is a mortal sin & pornography, i’ve given up pornography but, why do i have lustful dreams even i pray rosary’s i’m praying a 54 day rosary novena, can you do it anytime of the year? sometimes i despair yes but i feel like im in a never ending battle, i really dont want to think of women as objects they’re human too they need compassion & love too… my priest told me that the sin of lust is a lot harder on men than women he told me to relax & try to control them which im trying but why do i get more lustful thoughts when i gave up pornography ? all i want to do is be the best christian i can i know Fornication is a mortal sin too People tell me to “Get Laid” & i just say im saving myself for marriage because a real man saves his virginity

I can’t answer your other questions, but remember that a lustful thought is not in and of itself a sin. It’s a temptation. What you do after the thought comes decides whether or not you sin. Do you hold onto the thought? Keep thinking about it until you get aroused? Do you beg God and his saints to help you? Turn your mind elsewhere? Pray until the thought passes?

I’m also pretty sure that you can’t sin in your sleep because the intent can’t be there.

Talk to your priest.

I am not trying to be mean here, but I don’t know how else to address this. I am trying with all Christian charity.

You need to quit obsessing about wet dreams, and/or ejaculating in your sleep… You have had more than one thread, and more than one post regarding it. It is a natural body function…period.

The more you talk about masturbation, the more you are thinking about it, and the more likely you are to do it. It has been suggested to you multiple times to find something else to focus on. Try the Rosary. Grab your Bible. etc. etc.

Keep in mind, you are 15 years old., your body is changing.(It is your hormones kicking into high gear).

Just as your body is changing, you need to change your mind.

As several have mentioned, talk to a priest. An internet forum is not exactly the best place to handle all of this.
