masterbation addication
I am 66 years old and have always masterbated secretly. My sex life with my wife is non existant due to my obsession and my desire to masterbate in preference to proper sex. It has always made me feel guilty and depressed and sometimes used as an escape from lifes problems. I am sensetive and I use it to compensate for my shyness and for escape. I now need help and wish to end it for good .If possible I would hope for a normal sex life to happen but this is for the future
It's perfectly fine to masturbate, but it sounds like for you it has turned into an addiction. I second seeing a therapist, and perhaps finding the tools to repair the lost intimacy with your wife. It sounds like you feel very ashamed of yourself sexually to begin with, which can definitely make intimacy with another person difficult. Can you talk to your wife about your shyness and sensitivity?
I don't think you're alone. Many men feel unnerved by any criticism or suggestion that they're not a satisfying partner. Communication is the key to working through this - good luck!
