Is it possible to somehow quit masturbation because I've been trying to stop it for a long time, but to no avail? And am I condemned to it for the rest of my life?
Masturbation is a kind of a substitute for sexual intercourse, a natural safety valve that relieves accumulated sexual tension and applies to adolescents as well as people distant from their partners, single or elderly people, as well as those who have permanent partners and maintain sexual contact, but with insufficient frequency.
If you engage in masturbation, it results either from your unsatisfied sexual tension, or masturbation serves to relieve accumulated stress and neurotic tensions. Unfortunately, you have provided insufficient information to accurately answer your question, incl. Why does masturbation bother you, how old are you, are you in a relationship, do you have sex, how often do you masturbate, how do you watch pornography, etc. If you feel that masturbation is a problem for you, I encourage you to visit a sexologist in your city.
