Reply to In Washington, can an individual become a paid caregiver for a spouse? If yes, how? by reginaphalange360

Yes you can! I forget how to go about it, but talk to a social worker from your spouse's doctor or hospital and they can help you.

Reply to comment by Olclops in Moral disapproval mediates the relationship between compulsive sexual behavior and religiosity by chrisdh79

Exactly, if you stop feeling ashamed about something you won't "binge" on it, you will enjoy it freely and have less of a scarcity mindset, and therefore control your urges better because it will just feel more natural and pleasant, rather than shameful.

It's also kind of a labeling issue. Say a really religious person is "cumpulsive" and gives in to their urge to masturbate, then feels guilty and ashamed and believes that they were compelled, they couldn't help it. A less restrictive person would just feel horny, choose to masturbate, and feel good after, no shame or calling it cumpulsive.
