Q: A man needs relief, otherwise he cannot hold it. It is humanly impossible not to get release, as you will need to ejaculate frequently. I thought it is ok to have sex for pleasure as long as you do not use contraceptives?

Regards,

A:  Dear Joe,

I am compelled to disagree with several of your points, although they are the products of common deceptions proliferated throughout our corrupt and immoral society.

1) A man does not need relief.  We have been conditioned to think that we do.

Efforts to break a habit born of years of habitual masturbation will undoubtedly be difficult. But break it you must - for love of God and spouse.

2) It is humanly possible to forego release.  It does take work, commitment, much prayer and even more grace from God, especially by means of the Sacraments.  Frequently ask God, His Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph for help.

We do not have a right to sexual gratification - this is strictly a gift from God to be enjoyed exclusively within the context of marriage, as He designed and intended.

3) Sexual pleasure is licit and morally acceptable only within the context of the conjugal marriage bond between a man and a woman, and always without contraceptives.  Sex under any other circumstances - alone or with someone other than your spouse (regardless of like or unlike gender) is considered gravely immoral, a mortal sin, and renders the condition of one's immortal soul in a position of very grave and real danger.

God intended for man's spirit and soul to command and dominate his body, not the other way around.  This is the concept that the devil very much wants us to forget, so we all need to be often reminded.

I pray this helps.

God Bless!
