Brief Answer:
Keep your time busy with other things.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Controlling sexual addiction can be challenging but you can do it.You already took the first step by asking help.
The key point in getting rid of that is trying to keep your mind busy at all time.
Try to stay around with people (family,friends) the majority of the time.
-Think new things you like to do (hobbies) and dedicate time to them
-Every time you catch yourself thinking about sex force yourself to think other things or go out and do things you like to do.
-Think about your work more.
-Exercise every day and start new sports or other hobbies .Reading books may help.
-You can practice meditation and relaxation techniques :Yoga may help.
Sex and masturbation is not a bad thing .There is nothing wrong doing that.You just have to learn to control it so it doesn't affect your everyday life.
If the above tips doesn't seem to help, then you might need to consider to ask professional help (pay a visit to a psychologist or sex counselor).
Remember that it is all in your mind.If you decide to stop it ,you can do it.
I hope it was of help.
Let me know if you have other questions or doubt to clarify.I will be happy to assist you further.
Kind Regards!
