Masturbation Addiction?

I actually agree with this point. As I said, I didn’t come up with the suggestion.

Also, to be clear it is not my goal with any of this to get a girlfriend in the sense of a long term romantic relationship (not to imply you were accusing me of this - just making it clear). It’s my goal to be a more moral, more spiritual, and better functioning person through this.

Agreed on porn. As I said, I try (rather successfully compared to masturbation) to avoid porn, largely because of that. And don’t let my comments about the difficulty of getting a girlfriend imply I don’t have friends who are girls or are some kind of misogynist - I do have friends who are girls, just not a girlfriend in the sense of a long-term romantic relationship, which I presumed the suggestor was implying.

You might make an appointment with a psychiatrist too. Check out this page. I can explain it better if you’d like.

I’m don’t know if you are in a romantic relationship or not. The comment that was made to you “Get a girlfriend” may or may not be the answer. I don’t know. As for myself personally I would let God make that decision. You could end up in even worse shape if you do not follow God’s will.

May I suggest chastity.com for answers regarding masturbation. A website that may help you out would be pornnomore, another catholic website, but this one looks at helping people who struggle with sexual addictions. If you by any chance struggle with SSA then the Courage Apostolate website can help you out.
Also make time for prayer, go to confession, and continue to attend Mass.
Ask the saints to help you, your never alone, but continue to pray. I’ll pray for you.
