Answer

As a result of the nightmare you suffered during your first pregnancy, you were naturally terrified to repeat the same experience. So, you substituted masturbation for intercourse.

The fact that you have never wanted to return to having intercourse makes sense. You don't ever want to risk reliving the nightmare of your first pregnancy.

The best way to insure that you don't have a painful pregnancy and/or a premature baby is to simply avoid having intercourse. We all tend to avoid pain, and the activities that might create it.
