Question:

I was married to my husband for 35 years when he passed away. It has been 16 years since he died. He is the only man I have ever been intimate with. We had an active sex life. We were intimate usually twice a week. I have not dated and have chosen not to remarry. Two or three times a year, I have overwhelming feelings that I need to be sexually satisfied. I haven't been able to stop the feelings. When you were sexually active for so many years so often and then you loose your spouse and you are alone, I want to know if it is wrong to satisfy yourself and is this a mortal sin?

As the discussion of moral issues with the new Nurse Practitioner continues, I think all Sixpackers will find this both enlightening and fascinating.
