I know this may be a weird prayer request but I am requesting prayers for keeping me from adultery. I have been fantasizing about various coworkers. I have also visited a few porn sites. I have confessed but it seems that in the last few months but my feelings have gotten worse. I used to be very casual sexually before I became Catholic and those old desires are coming back. I have been married for 6 years now and I find that now, I have been encouraging others sexual attention towards me and I secretly want people to act on their own desires to me. I keep thinking about other men besides my husband partly because my own sex life with my husband is not that great. I have never had an orgasm with him or anyone for that matter and the act with my husband is starting to get old and stale and I feel like it will never happen for me. Nothing is wrong with me biologically. But, my thoughts tend to focus on what another guy could do for me in that way. My husband is a great guy just not that good at sex (even though I have tried to show him and tell him). I did not marry him for that but unfortunately when you experience things before marriage your thoughts sometimes go back to those old experiences (I wish I was a virgin but that is already long over and done)

Please, I need your prayers.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
 
Prayed for you, too.

BEST THING is to reflect on the Catholic notion of “avoiding near occasions of sin.” Despite the old-sounding language, this terminology really reflects a genuine psychological fact: one can avoid doing evil but avoiding being in a place likely to generate evil action.

My tip would be to spend more time doing things fun and pressure-free with your husband. He’s probably not really a bad guy.

Prayer To Confess A Lustful Heart

Dear Heavenly Father, You have told us in Your Word to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts (Rom. 13:14). I acknowledge that I have given in to fleshly lusts which wage war against my soul (1 Pet. 2:11). I thank You that in Christ my sins are forgiven, but I have transgressed Your holy law and given the enemy an opportunity to wage war in my members (Eph. 4:27; Jas. 4:1; 1 Pet. 5:8). I come before Your presence to acknowledge these sins and to seek Your cleansing (1 Jn. 1:9) that I may be freed from the bondage of sin (Gal. 5:1). I now ask You to reveal to my mind the ways that I have transgressed Your moral law and grieved the Holy Spirit so that I may stay pure in body and soul before You. I ask this, my Lord, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peters and Paul, and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, and powerful in the holy authority of Your Name. Amen.

Praying for you.
 
Grant us Thy grace, most merciful Jesus, that it may be with us and work with us and persevere with us even to the end. Grant that we may always desire and will that which is to Thee most acceptable and most dear. Let Thy will be ours, and let our will ever follow Thine and agree perfectly with it. Let our willing and not-willing be all one with Thine, and let us not be able to will or not will anything else but what Thou willest or willest not. Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
