Actually non-masturbating works in the long run, if you can handle that one to two weeks of 'Vwithdrawal syndrome'.
Yeah but you'll just start dropping loads in wet dreams instead, which can be rather messy I can tell you. 
Never had one in my life.
I've been cutting down on the fapping lately. What I found makes it easier is to wean myself off it by having one day off, where I don't do it at all, and then one day where I have the freedom to do it as much as I wish. The idea then is that my willpower isn't taxed so much since relief is never further than 24 hours away. At first this resulted in me doing it way more on my "on" day, but eventually my mind and/or body became conditioned by the off days and I realised that my desire was really a self-reinforcing loop where thoughts trigger desire and acting on the desire triggers more thoughts. I find I don't think about sex nearly as much, now, without making any effort to eliminate the thoughts directly. The urge "leaves me alone" for much longer. I'll soon be graduating to 2 days off, 1 day free, and hopefully it will go just as successfully.
I also found
this thread to be both fascinating and motivating. Don't be put off by the thread title, be sure to read all of it not just the OP. It gives you an incentive to stop; before reading it I didn't see much gain for giving up the constant gratification I was receiving.
