Thank you for your responses. I do allow orgasms on a regular basis because I enjoy how those are allowed to come about. I also understand the importance of it for health reasons. My main concern was the reversion back to the addictive behavior. he was allowed several less than a week before this request so, I doubt this time it was a health issue. Addictive behaviors are magnified by preceived "stressors" and those stressors are the excuse to return to the behaviors. It is my concern, there will be a relaspe and return to his "need" to do it several times a day to handle the stress he's under. I advocate positive actions to reduce stress, such as taking proactive steps to reduce the stress itself. At this time, I feel if I give permission because of the reason for the request, I will be aiding and abetting a return to negative behavior. If I give permission and the next time he asks to do so, "because of stress" and it's denied, I can just hear, "you let me do it before!" coming out of his mouth. After reading the responses here (for which I am truly grateful), I told him to do what he feels he needs to do. I've also reinterated, for him to use the other techniques he has to deal with this and gave him proactive steps to take to deal with the issues causing these sudden high stress levels. he told me that he didn't, "feel right having one without me there in some capacity" and maybe this thought will be the thing that derails what he thinks is a driving need at this time because I told him, if he does, it will be his private undertaking that I want no part of. I've adopted the "don't ask, don't tell" stance on this. I'm beginning to view this as a test of sorts to see if he has internalized some of the things we've discussed and learned the past 8 months. Since I didn't, with my blessings give him the easy way out by giving permission, I hope he reaches inside himself and see there are other things he can do other than go back to what he's done in the past. I appreciate you all!
