Habit: Ejaculation is healthy, in fact ejaculation 4 or more times a week in men in the 20s may decrease the risk of prostate cancer when older. However, if you are masturbating many times a day and also watching a lot of internet porn, i would say you need to get some other hobbies and get busy with those.As with any habit, boredom is a trigger.It will not hurt you physiologically but lessen productivity.

Masturbation: Masturbation is a normal and common part of the human experience. Medicine has no interest in anyone stopping or not participating in this common human experience. There are health and mental health benefits from ejaculation. So, most of us here would first want to know why would you stop this normal activity.

Other interests: You're a young man and you're going to enjoy your body when you're by yourself from time to time, even if you find someone special. In spite of what anybody else has told you, it's not at all unhealthy, and there is nothing "spiritual" about trying to be something other than you are. Focus on other meaningful activities ; talk with your doctor if you're truly obsessed with erotica.
