I dont think any book or set of ideas can help you with this. Your probably better of asking /fit/ honestly.

You just need to realise you don't want to do it anymore. I'd suggest self observation. When you grow horns, remove (or remove yourself) from any stimulus thats causing it and try and listen to your thoughts. If you really want to do it you won't see any, or find value in, the reasons not to. If you don't want to, the reasons not to will have weight.

Also try the obvious shit like exercising instead. Say you'd rather be reading or writing for instance. Do that instead and then reward yourself with something that makes you happy or satisfied that isn't the sploosh.

occupy your time with more things that can be done in a relaxed way, things that can give you a state of flow and calm you
reading is good, ive noticed it almost always makes me feel better if i read even for just 10 minutes or so, just whatever you do focus on it entirely as much as you can

meditation

exercise

be outside and get the sun

prayer

avoid arousing things

i stopped going to /tv/ for instance because of how often sexy actresses and blacked kept getting posted
when you see something sexy, make it a habit to click away from it
dont save shit
if you avoid getting horny to begin with you basically won most of the time

when urges come do the jesus prayer, even in your head
it worked for me

you don't need a book for that, you need to limit your computer usage. that and get a woman. few people mention it, but the need to provide your lady with thick sticky loads is a powerful nofap motivator.

Just get K9 porn blocker on your phone and desktop, make the password a random jumble of letters, don’t write it down, and set it to the settings you want.

That's not a "sex|mast" thing, anon, you've just accidentally discovered the true nature of all striving.

good artistic taste anon. no book will help you, but you should pick up other hobbies and keep yourself occupied. sitting in your apartment with your laptop will keep you addicted forever.
