I don't think it's weird that you kept them. But please never feel guilty about taking care of yourself. If you had thrown them away even though they are perfectly good it would be entirely understandable.
When I mentioned that my brother has passed out from anxiety it's usually triggered by girls. He's 26 and a virgin because he's so terrified of meeting people/being intimate with someone. You two are different in he can watch stuff on TV and (I'm horrified to know this but we are very close) I do know that he does self stimulate so to say. However, the thought of someone else touching him will send him into a full blown zone out or he will pass out cold. Maybe he sees someone touching him as a type of confrontation I don't know.
I wish I had some advice to offer but I haven't even been able to find a way to help my brother. Sorry I'm useless on the advice.
