"My sex drive is usually quite steady. Sometimes there are moments where I get erections a lot because I'm thinking about sex, but even if I'm not thinking about sex it doesn't mean I'm not 'hungry' for it."
Perhaps the wet dream after two weeks has kept the cycle going for you. If you masturbated after two weeks, you'd probably feel the same as you do now, but you would experience the temporary down of the artificial ejaculation (masturbation) as opposed to natural ejaculation (wet dream), which has a more mild down.
"The sex urge, for me anyway, is not like the urge to have something to eat. When I'm hungry, my stomach feels empty and I feel low on energy. When I'm horny I'm just thinking strongly on how pleasant it would be to have sex or wank right now. Once I do have sex or wank it doesn't feel like a weight has been lifted or anything."
Yes, I can definitely relate to this. I call these "sex flashes" because the urge to have sex is so strong, but they go away if you're patient. If I have sex or wank, the weight is lifted, but I feel down as opposed to still feeling energetic if I just let the storm pass by so to speak.
"It's all about how you handle it psychologically I reckon. My 27 clean days so far haven't an all out struggle to get through. There have been moments here and there where I seriously thought about giving in, and there will probably be those moments in the future. But overall it's been fairly easy although not watching porn has probably helped a lot in this regard."
Congrats on the 27 clean days so far. I guess there are two ways to go about handling your sex drive. You can do it naturally by having wet dreams spontaneously once every week to every month naturally to regulate your sex drive and dump excess sperm, which is what you are doing. The other way to handle your sex drive is artificially by masturbating once a week to once a month. What's better and healthier in the long run? I guess that's up for debate.

"You may not notice it now, but it's only matter of time until you find your sex drive and energy drop as your body adjusts to the abstinence of masturbation."
I don't think this will happen at all. Nearly reaching a month without doing anything sexual I don't feel any differenent really.

Here we go again, people going to two different extremes :P. Whatever happened to balance?
I think what flexiplan is trying to do of quitting masturbation for good is a little extreme only for the fact that it could result in a reduced sex drive in the long term and usually this is after a month, but could be less or more depending on the person. You may not notice it now, but it's only matter of time until you find your sex drive and energy drop as your body adjusts to the abstinence of masturbation.
As for Myron_Long, good thing casper isn't here lol, because he'd be flaming you and calling you an addict because you've decided to masturbate every three days. I wouldn't say he was wrong either mainly because you need to use porn and webcam sex to create that sexual excitement, which isn't good. I know you are capable of doing better than this Myron, you managed to go without sex for two weeks at a time, so I'm pretty sure you can go without masturbation for at least two weeks.
I'm still going on with my experiment by the way and almost a week without mbing and I plan to go for two months, I'll let you know how that goes. The point of this is to find my "peak" and that's the point of abstinence where my sexual drive and energy is at its highest. I do believe that after a certain point of abstinence, your sex drive and energy drops off and then abstinence would be causing more harm than good.
The solution? Well it's simply to abstain for a long time from all sexual activities whether that be a month or two months or even longer is up to you. Then once the experiment is over, look back and think. When did I feel my best? Was it after a week? two weeks? three weeks? a month? It will be different for everyone because we all have different sex drives.
Whatever it is, should simply be your "schedule" that you follow to keep yourself motivated to find a girlfriend or be successful in whatever you choose depending on your life goals. Just think of it as picking a fruit from a tree when it's fully ripe, you don't want to pick it too early as it isn't ready yet, but if you wait too long, it could be dead.

Just stay strong, I too am battling pornography. Just keep fighting. If you haven't yet, read some of the discussions of the past on this post, hopefully that will help.
Update for everybody: I'm doing a lot better. I'm watching a lot less porn.

Well, I haven't been on here for a while talking about masturbation stuff. But I'll admit, I have been masturbating lately, like every 2 days I skip and on the 3rd day I'll masturbate. I'm at that point in life right now where I just don't care. If I want to bust a nutt, I will do it. But I'll make sure it is only once that day. I cancelled all my side pieces, don't have any excitement for them anymore. I want me a steady girl, someone beautiful I can call my own and look forward to marriage. By me not having any girls in my life right now force me back to relieving my sexual urges the other way "masturbation".
I never masturbate with the mind. Even though I can do it, I find that boring. I'll start off looking at some porn just to get hyped up and then I'll visit a website where I can interact with live females on webcams and possibly have webcam sex. But I won't masturbate to porn because there is no interraction.
One thing I have downpact now is masturbating with a condom on but I'll cut off the tip so I can ejaculate like normal. The reason I use the condom is because I believe I'm too rough with my penis during masturbation + I stroke it too well (without the condom). A woman cannot duplicate my way of masturbation so if she does it most likely I'm not into it. However, using the condom (with additional lubrication) removes that need to compare a woman to stroking my penis just as I do (because it feels totally different).
Also, after I masturbate, I don't feel depressed or mad I did it, probably because I'm not trying to fight it. (unless I go against my plan by doing it once a day instead of every 3 days).
I'm just wondering now what is going to happen the next time I get with a girl. Is this masturbation going to play a part or will things be normal (great sex
I did go to the strip club last night and had a few dances. I did get an erection and it did feel good to squeeze on some soft boobs. I guess I can continue to live this lifestyle until I get a steady girlfriend. Once I get a g/f, I will probably significantly reduce the masturbation and going to strip clubs.
