This really turned him on that he was doing this to me. His sexual appetite is getting out of control. Pornography and masturbation are a HUGE part of why he did what he did. He needs more and more to turn him on.
His disabilty and low self esteem played into it as well. I don't think he has a need to control me. Its almost as if I were his 'sex toy' in this sick thing he did to me. I honestly think he was really aroused by it.
As far as what I talk about today, I have two agendas for that. We will go with whichever one comes up, or we may go down a totally different path. She knows me well. She knows when I am avoiding. I am sure that she won't let me get by without talking about what my husband did to me. Who knows? I may have a breakdown in her office. I don't see me doing that, but it may happen.
Like I said, I don't have any emotions at all about what he did. I know that sounds strange to many of you. I don't get it myself. My life is so corrupted by sex and pornography that I need to talk about it with her. Yes, I need to talk about ALL of it. Even the most embarrassing things. There are things that I cannot tell you guys on here. Maybe if I could, you would understand why I need to go down the 'masturbation' path with her.
Thanks for all of your replies and support. I will let you know how our session goes today. I am thinking this may be a two hour session!

Squiggle, I just wanted you to know that you are not alone in this situation. My husband has a fetish that makes our sex life very, um, challenging and he objectifies me to get off. He too is obsessed with porn and only sometimes recognizes me as a human being and wife, not just a toy. He has taken me to sex clubs and tried to pawn me off as a play thing and regrets that I have not had a threesome. I have not successfully raised this issue to anyone (first time sharing it) but felt my silence needed to be broken to help you. Good luck with pastor, therapist and H. I also dissociate/compartmentalize what he's doing b/c it feels so violating. I'll say a prayer for you.
