I need help. I masturbate compulsively, sometimes without joy, most everytime with deep regret. I have a girlfriend, and we have a son. Yes, I know... I have been diagnosed with anxiety, no doubt to the amount of secrets I keep ons daily basis. I masturbate at work, home, sometimes while driving, and have even done it at church. I feel terrible, yet I haven't been able to stop. Can anyone give me insight? I know "God won't tempt me past what I can handle...but everytim I do it anyway. I am weak. I need to be a better man. What should do?

How old are you?

23

You will start to notice a change in that in the next few years (age 25-30) as your testosterone levels lower. A certain amount of M is just pure hormonal response. (and IMO acceptable)

It does seem what you describe is way beyond that. If you really want to settle this issue you will have to humble yourself and talk to a real flesh and blood brother in the Lord about it - preferably a trained counselor.  I suspect there are other issues driving this. Resolve them and I think you will have a much better time managing your sex drive.
