This AVERSIVE COUNTER CONDITIONING is suggested by a member nicknamed Doctor_pain in the past.
Try applying eucalyptus oil or a vapor rub cream, menthol based cream etc to Your 'device' whenever you feel like masturbating, it will leave the little monster numb and all you will feel is cold down there :). It has a psychological impact in the long run- something called 'counter-conditioning' through aversive stimulus. Since masturbation becomes a habit, so it acts through 'Conditioning'.
I am a medicine graduate and at present studying psychology out of interest.
I haven't really researched on this topic but this is my own little remedy after a little bit of brain storming and applied knowledge in order to get rid of this habit :P  
I hope it proves to be helpful too all in need !
Soy bean, peppermint and mint also decrease libido .. so try these methods and i am sure u will be free from this habit soon ..
I have visited some Islamic sites which have recommended a few of these methods.
But I think the Aversive counter conditioning is the best by applying any mentholated topical cream.
And next time u masturbate, imagine a tub full of worms and urself in that tub while masturbating ... another strong Aversive Counter Conditioning method.
But NOTE that you  have to fellow this method/routine  for over a good time period 15-30 days ... to really reap the benefits ...
Habits die hard my friend !

I thought you had suggested vaporub or some stinging ointment. Now I remember a medical student had tried and suggested this method giving it some psychological name. Sorry  I gave your as wrong reference.

Hi Raghav, There is nothing that can be better that what we have in our brain , there is no quick fix, with any creams or rubs and or a vapour, its just educting youe brain, everything we do is controled from there.
Good Luck

Vaporub will sting or irritate the skin and reduce your libido. NOHArd has suggested this method in the past.

I agree it's fine.  I think guilt causes problems for some guys, but the act itself is basically exercise.

Hi Raghav, Masturbating for men is not harmful, its a way of us men getting releif and easing tensions from our bodys, and it also keeps our systems ticking over, so if you want your body to stay healthy just masturbate a couple of times a week, and you will find it helpful for your sex life if you do it right, use some kind of lubrication when you do it, and if you want to learn how to last longer, then start a program of edging, for this just go to pegym and on there look for edging.
Good luck
