Are you sure you gave the other things enough of a chance. You basically have addictions to both. Have you tried a sex therapist?
Also therapy sometimes works by not focusing directly on those subjects, but the underlying feelings & thoughts that cause your emotional pain.
Good luck
I think you're doing ok. Just try not to combine them.
Scratch up your thumb a little with a needle so that when you masterbate it hurts you stick really bad. That's how you can break that habbit. What's your actual problem?
Masturbating is great, don't give that one a pass.
Stop using words like "emotional" and "pain"
just think of how well you might have it over poeple in foreign contries that dont even have computers or internet or food. What really gets me up when i am down is going for a walk or run or jog or bike ride if you are able...even if its the middle of winter. sometimes when i am down i make sure and get up sometime before 830 am and get dressed in something sorta nice and go for a walk or anything to get out of the house. hope it helps, stay strong.
you need to stick with the counseling but get someone who is good with cognitive behavioral counseling or therapy.
Also, religion is a good outlet as long as it is a good bible believing Orthodox Christian type church, with active small groups where you can get socializing and fellowship. A men's group in a church where it is small and you can bare your soul to some other guys would help a lot for you to get some anxieties out.
Find a different counselor, one experienced in addictions counseling. This time look at it as if the counselor is your "coach". Remember it's up to you to do your own work, and it's up to the counselor to observe and coach you through it. It could very well be that you need for a Psychiatrist to look a little deeper into your seeking to relieve your pain....as it is possible that you have a disorder going untreated.
Much of mass communication industry depends on the explotiation and manipulation of human weakness.
The one consistent theme permeating virtually all advertising is consumer inferiority. By unconcious comparison, the consumer has to be a loser, deficient and ordinary.
Ad models are always glamorous and desirable. The idealization works like the unobtainable carrot being dangled in front of a jackass. That carrot can dangle just out of reach througout a lifetime of consumer behavior.
When individuals are persuaded to view themselves as inferior, they can be directed into the purchase of any product or brand that promises fulfillment and human completeness. Consumption will supposedly bring ever elusive perfection. Advertiser promises of course, remain eternally unfulfilled, and the individual gradually submerges into a fantasy of consumption as an end in itself.
Ad dependent consumers become increasingly dissatisfied.

Stop looking at masturbation as a medication, its a biological drive. Don't be so corny.
