I'm kinda infamous on this server for my crazy opinions about masturbation, so I'll let it all out here. This stuff only applies to males, you lucky females get to masturbate as much as you want with no repercussions 
Masturbation negatively effects many hormones, increasing the bad stuff, and decreasing the good stuff. Overcoming this bad habit is a lot like overcoming a sugar addiction, you can't stop because eating sugar feels good at the moment, but you pay for the habit later (diabetes and being fat). With masturbation, it's femininity and depression. So it's best to limit it to at least once a week.
Part 1: Serotonin, prolactin, and dopamine
The reason why masturbation feels good is that it causes a huge surge in dopamine and serotonin. These are the hormones that make you happy, serotonin making you happy and optimistic in general, dopamine rewarding you for eating when hungry and playing games. This sounds like a good thing, but too much of a good thing causes desensitization. Just like as you keep eating sugar, it gets less sweet, so you have to keep eating more. Since your serotonin receptors become desensitized, you'll feel blue more often if you masturbate a lot, and when you DO masturbate, it won't feel as good. If you never eat a piece of cake or any sugar for a year, then eat one, you'll have a food orgasm because you haven't eaten sugar in such a long time. That's why it should be done in moderation. Also, masturbation causes a huge prolactin release, and this has the negative effects of causing manboobs, low testosterone, and low dopamine. You can see the effects of prolactin firsthand, it's the reason each successive orgasm gets worse. Prolactin is blocking all the dopamine to let that happen. People who take prolactin-blocking medications have multiple orgasms. The only good thing about low dopamine is supressed appetite, but that's because food doesn't taste as good without dopamine to reward you for it. Dopamine is also important for forming memories, so don't masturbate before a major lesson in school.
TL;DR: Masturbating too much will make you sad and pessimistic and lower your quality of life.
Part 2: Testosterone
It's pretty much common sense that masturbation lowers testosterone. If you don't masturbate for a week, after a few days you will get extremely horny, a hallmark of skyrocketing testosterone. But once you give in and masturbate again, it goes back down to asexual levels. Your brain's reasoning behind lowering testosterone is like this: If you were having sex every day, your body would conserve the resources to make testosterone, because what's the point of being more attractive if you're already having sex every day? But if you haven't had sex in a week, your brain would panic like "OMIGOSH THIS IS TERRIBLE, we haven't reproduced in a long time! Pump up that testosterone so we can do it again!" If you are going through puberty, testosterone is especially important, as it decides if you end up looking like brad pitt, or justin bieber. Once puberty finishes, nothing besides plastic surgery will reverse the damage. Genetics actually doesn't play much of a role in masculinity, it's mainly in diet and lifestyle. Go to any bodybuilding forum and you will discover bodybuilders' intense obsession with this hormone. Testosterone makes the bones in your face grow and makes your voice deeper. So if you want to be more masculine, curbing your masturbation should help.
TL;DR: Masturbating too much could take a toll on your masculinity.
Part 3: How to quit
Even I have major troubles quitting masturbation; after at most a week, the urge becomes way too great, and the ghostly urge to do it ruins it. But I'm going through puberty so you could say I have superhuman willpower for going for more than just 2 days. Longest I ever went was 2 weeks, but I felt better for that 2 weeks. More testosterone made me more confident. Cold turkey is very hard like with everything, so you need to find other outlets for all those dick-related hormones. If it's possible for you, watch porn without masturbating, talk to attractive females. I find that playing with my pet rabbit helps me overcome the urge as it very temporarily decreases testosterone (rabbit looks like baby, babies lower testosterone).
Before you respond to this thread with "You're retarded, this theory is stupid" like the closed minded brainwashed you are, use common sense and realize that this DOES make sense. Masturbation feels good, you feel good because of serotonin. Too much of anything desensitizes your brain to that.
