Tough time with masturbatiion

I've been looking at pornography since the late 60's. My partner has finally had enough. After years of lying and hiding it, she has drawn a line in the sand. I have moved into the spare room. She is very hurt and upset. My addiction has destroyed our relationship and any trust she may have had from the years of broken promises and a sexless marriage. I feel that I need to rebuild our relationship.

I want to masturbate, but i keep thinking that it is still part of the problem. That masturbation is still succumbing to fantasy, cheating, reducing women to objects and "body parts". have gone 10 days without looking at porn, or masturbating. I am successfully fighting the urge to look at porn, but i feel a need for some form of stimulation. I crave the sensations i get when i have an erection.

What should i do?
