I would vote yes. He handled it properly. It is out in the open--a big part of therapy. I always see female therapists, but, if you can feel safe masturbating to a fantasy of him, that is a LONG way from feeling abused by early sexual experiences....and feeling safe is ALWAYS far better than feeling abused.
We work out these things in different ways. It would not (imo) be good to have sex with your therapist. But what goes on in your mind when you masturbate is yours and yours alone. (tho I may get a pbc for saying so, even god has no business there.)
The most healthy part is that YOU SAID SO! Kudos to you for that!
