It’s a good practice, helps to calm your mind and release happy and stress bursting enzymes. Having 2 to 3 times a week is not an issue, more than that is also not an issue, but needs adequate nutrition and exercise which will be difficult to fulfil.  Ways to reduce Masturbation 1. Sex education 2. Physical exercises 3. Sleep adjustment 4. Quality of sleep 5. Healthy and balanced diet 6. Programming for leisure time 7. Development of spirituality 8. Taking a cold bath  If you still find it difficult need to meet a psychiatrist in person.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
