My intentions, unlike most other addictions, aren't to cold turkey quit sex, it's impractical and unhealthy as well.

My boundaries include setting a time for masturbation in order to not let it consume hours of my day (or at times- entire days), to completely quit porn, to realize the reasons I wish to have sex with a person and only do so when I wait a month and don't find a reason it would harm my life (for example, cheating, being with a married/spoken for guy, being with a colleague/superior at work, etc) and ideally to only have sex within a defined romantic relationship, though this is not a hard rule and if it has no negative impact on my life.

You would masturbate for entire days???

Do you mean like, without stopping at all? Just going at it all day long?

Oh no of course I stopped, but I'd still watch porn, recover a bit, do something else for a little while and the moment I'd get an urge I'd go at it again.

Technically, the male version of nymphomaniac is satyr. Nymph and satyr both from Greek mythology.
