None of this matters.  Your problem is you are obsessed with masturbation to the point where it seems to be the only thing you care about.  What about all the other things you do every day?  And the reason you are obsessed is you have an anxiety problem, OCD, that you haven't dealt with.  If you deal with the anxiety, you will probably fix everything you're talking about because you will stop obsessing over it.  But it won't be easy.  Are you in therapy?  If not, do it, fast.  If you need medication, your therapist will refer you to a psychiatrist.  Life is full of all sorts of things.  Obsessing over one of them and aiming your whole life at that one thing just limits your life.  And it's making you very unhappy.

I've similar type of OCD.. but what Paxiled said might be true but won't help much maybe. A person with OCD about something might be well known of the fact that his fear or obsession is kinda unreal and not only thing to be thought. But it doesn't mean he is stuck on that willingly. Sometimes it comes all of a sudden in a kinda normal life. And much agonizing is the person forgets how his normal past life habits were, he forgets the life without compulsions which makes it difficult for him to live without compulsions. I know all these feelings as I've gone through these too badly. So none of these might really not matter but it's not that easy for a OCD brain to accept the fact. Isn't it better to rationalize somehow that the rituals are not required or at least not required much. I've gone to some docs though docs able to diagnose and treat severe OCD is a bit scarce in where I live. They do not go deep into stopping my compulsions just tells me to stop them forcefully or accept them and that didn't help me much!
