Monks avoided masturbating because they knew it was what God wanted. And I'm not saying this in the sense of "just become a Christian". These guys KNEW that God existed, from their first memories to their dying breath they lived in a world where they saw God in everything from the most mundane breeze in the wind to the most beautiful meteor showers to the terrible burning of entire cities, and everyone they ever met agreed with them. It was their reality they the being who created everything and everyone and could do anything wanted them to not masturbate because He said it was bad and who are you to question Him. You don't live in the world anymore. You're the Last Man (or maybe he already died and you're the ape that comes afterwards). What animates you to get up in the morning, go to work, participate in whatever hobbies you have? Habit? Pleasure-seeking? Whatever it is, it won't stop you from wasting your time and energy masturbating like God did for those monks. So maybe you should look for something that will.
