Suffering from Masturbation

[Zackery]

Good afternoon. I have suffered from masturbation all my life. I was sexually abused as a child and I believe it became a means of percieved love but as I got older, I realized that it wasn’t. Because I have masturbated all throughout my childhood, it became second nature and no matter what I do, I find myself failing at least every other day. I want to get castrated and have surgery that will make me nonsexual but I am wondering if that would be a sin in itself. If so, what are some avenues I could take to fight the urge to masturbate? I’ve tried prayer, meditation, reading, ect. ect. I’m lost and I always feel guilty but I still fail and I can’t fail, I have to be able to defeat my sin. I don’t want to burn anymore. I want to make God happy.

We are sincerely sorry to hear of your struggles. However, the CA Forums are unfortunately not set up to provide intensive spiritual counseling. Our best advice is for you to seek out a good priest on the local level who knows you or can get to know you because he’ll be treating you in the most fruitful counseling environment: a three-dimensional one. You may also wish to consider getting other support on the local level from a licensed counselor who is respectful of your Catholic Faith. Regard…
