Unrelated: If your will power to discontinue excessive masturbation is not working, you should see a therapist for helping you with your addiction.

Listen, man: Please get educated about your new adult body. Almost every one of your male friends is doing exactly the same thing without any ill-effects. Especially at your age, you need to enjoy yourself frequently just to stay able to focus and even get to sleep. It's not damaging your memory and what you describe is not an addiction. Think about that one special person in your future rather than trash.
