Oh yes, and I totally support your use of masturbation as a palliative - it gives great endorphins and the opiate effect is completely healthful (unlike codeine etc.) but of course, the porn-seeking thing is a pain - just try to ditch that part of it. If it's any help, you can recognize a certain restless craving sensation that is distinct from horniness - it is what addicts call 'jonesing' - craving your next fix (something to do with dopamine in your brain) and once you've identified the sensation you can start to get control of it. It has everything to do with seeking behaviour and a sort of built-in reward the brain gives for successful hunting, and nothing to do with either sex or pain per se. Porn addiction connects it to sex, but it can be connected to all sorts of other things, from drugs to gambling to shopping.

As alcoholics know, having someone to talk to about it at that moment is a tremendous help. Not easy when you're a porn-craving boylover, but if you are ever in real time with someone you trust that much, it is a well tested remedy for jonesing.
