What can I do to better manage my overwhelming sexual desires by my own without a counsellor/psychologist? How can I stop masturbating and stop watching pornography?

You should delete any apps such as tumblr. Put up parental controls on the internet on any device. Perseverance.

dont worry to stop.just take a one step to reduce your addiction.divert your mind in involving other activites like sports,music,dance.dont sit alone.make busy yourself.only lonlyness makes you to addict in sexual desir.so try to avoid being alone and engage yourself busy

If it is causing distress, you can try tracking what triggers the sexual urges and then you can try doing something to distract yourself like take a walk or listen to loud music.

You can get out more, spend more time around others, get a boyfriend/girlfriend, and overall distance and distract yourself from your desires.

Try slowing down little by little- say, if you are masturbating every day, try only doing it every other day, or 6 days a week rather than 7. Then the next week try 5 days, then 4, then 3. The same with watching pornography. There are stages to change, and it is okay to take a long time. Studies have shown that it takes at least a month to implement changes into your life successfully. I know that it may be hard, especially if you are used to doing these things on a daily basis. It is okay. But if you work towards change and seek it actively, then I have faith that you can do it.

You probably will not be able to do it on your own. You need help from another person, whether a professional or not. If you are part of a religious group that offers support, you could try that. There are also online support groups. You can also read self-help books and articles that are available for suggestions. Sexual addictions, like other addictions, require long-term efforts to overcome. Continue seeking help and support from others, even if it is just a close friend who you can confide in.

It might help to get a little game on your phone. You would play this game any time you feel like masturbating. While doing this, the feeling should pass as you are now being distracted. If this does not help, maybe try to find the root problem. Wanting to masturbate a lot can be related to some kind of depression like condition. You might be (unconsciously) trying to surrpress this root problem by the shot of dopamine. Getting rid of the root cause may resolve your masturbating problem. This could be done without a councellor or a psychologist being involved.

I personally find it useful to realise that masturbation is never gonna bring ultimate fulfillment for me. It's like eating cookies. It gives you a good temporary feeling. And therefore is fun to experience. But if you're already feeling down it's not gonna bring you up. I don't know why you say you would wanna stop masturb*ting. I dont think theres anything wrong with that. If you're not in to that because of religious reasons I would suggest you to read more about it on the internet of other people. Maybe you will than find out God doesnt care that much about it probably. Good luck!

If your overwhelming sexual desire is persistent and is significantly negatively impacting your life, it may be time to seek the advice of a professional. However, if you feel like it is not a significantly distressing issue at this time, there are some things you can try to lessen the impact of the desire on your life. It may help to minimize your exposure to people, places, and things that encourage that desire. For instance, clear your search history and stop visiting websites that bring up the desire for you, stop going to places that make the desire come up, and stop interacting with people that encourage you to give in to the desire. If you remove yourself from these situations, you may increase your chances of successfully not engaging in the behavior you are trying to avoid.

The best tools for managing recovery from porn addiction are a habit tracker of some type to help you see where your successes are, daily journaling, podcasts like Love People Use Things, and of course a lot of background information. Your Brain on Porn is a good resource website that will explain the science behind what you are going through. NoFap is a Reddit community dedicated to helping people in their recovery by promoting a 90-day detox plan. All of these resources won't cost you a dime. A lot of other resources exist that have a religious background, such as the Conquer Series, Victory App, books by Matt Fradd and others, and can be helpful if your beliefs coincide with theirs. They may be helpful even if you don't because of the philosophical values they draw on, but that's a determination you have to make for yourself. Good luck on your journey, and don't lose hope -- it is one of the hardest things you will ever do, but the strength is in you to do it!
