Masturbation addiction

[Overworrierhelp]

Hi
I recently got married and moved in with my husband we have a generally good relationship. However my husband masturbates almost every night and for hours usually with no ejaculation (I've heard it's called edging/ *** with holding and apparently is pleasurable) he does this in bed next to me and it wakes me up most nights and then I often can not get back to sleep. We have spoke and argued about it so many times but then he doesn't stop and does it again the next night. I was really upset with him one morning and said I couldn't handle it any longer he did some Internet research and found this sexsomnia thing where people masturbate in their sleep usually people who have other sleeping problems are at higher risk and he has night terrors and sometimes sleep walks and had sleep apnea as a child so it's very easy to believe I told him he needed to see someone he went to the dr and she said it was normal and then advised on a sleep study. As the study cost money my hubby hasn't done that (and I'm not sure what use it would be anyway).

Sorry anyway for a while I believed this sexsomnia to be true. But then I felt that the masturbation technique seemed abit much for somebody to do in there sleep - often I've noticed he checks if I'm asleep he stops if I move he pushes my arm away if I cuddle him he creates a barrier with the covers in between us - it seems alot for somebody who's alseep. I'm not sure what to believe.

I'm not against masturbation but every night all night is excessive and I'm starting to feel really uncomfortable like he has a dirty secret or obsession and possibly an addiction to masturbation. Last night he masturbated about 2 time before I stopped him possibly once again when I went into a different bed and once again when in the shower.  

Am I over worrying? Could he be addicted? Could all that still be signs of sexsomnia?

We have sex 1-3 times a week.

I am sorry, as a I am not familiar with the term and this is not my area of expertise.  As a physician, I do know that men may need intercourse more than one to three times a week. If you are young and newly married, he would not be unreasonable to expect it daily. You might need to seek some couples' therapy to resolve this issue. Good luck to both of you.
