How To Over Masturbation Urge?

I am a 70 year old (in 2 days) single male. Lately my hormones are raging. I have a persistent urge to masterbate. These sensations and feelings are constant and do not even need a sexual stimulus. I am a catholic and masterbation is forbidden...I have slipped due to the overwhelming need for release...and that causes me deep spiritual problems. I have tried cold showers..thought stopping techniques..exercise. What can I do? Please do not publish my name or email address publicly. Thank you.

Dear service user,
Thank you for writing to healthcaremagic.
I understand your concern for suppressing urges masturbation.
Masturbation is akin to sexual intercourse. What penis does in vagina during sexual intercourse, same it does during masturbation in your folded palm! This is a natural activity. Let the nature work in its way.
One needs food, water, air to live. Similarly sexual urges are part of healthy life. Satisfying the urges is no way harmful. Forceful suppression by different techniques ultimately creates anxiety which you are facing now.
Masturbation is a safety valve which lets your sexual urges to get ventilated in a normal way.
It is myth that masturbation causes aging, fatigue, bone problems and memory problems, weakness.
Relax and go ahead. You may go for counseling with sex therapist.
Wish you good health.
