I embrace the same perspective of both HP and Dominus .. I've said to myself a lot that I would only MB and no P .. I thought of it as a gradual process to quit both .. but it never worked for me, whatever the period was that I went on without P I would just go back into it, sometimes even more intensively .. due to (as pointed out several times here) the lusting that's involved in the process..
And the main reason I want to quit both is due to my religious beliefs..

2, Its not so much the action but what it takes to make it happen. The images, the thoughts that I have to bring into my mind in order for masturbation to take place and the images and thoughts that take place during masturbation make me lust over and over. I tend to use the images that I saw in porn and the literature that I read when pictures didn't seem to work. A guy from my church once talked to me about it. They said this, and this is from a Christian perspective, no intentions of shoving the believe on you if you don't believe it: "Its unclear to anyone if masturbation is really a sin, but in order to masturbate, most people need to lust, most people need to bring images into their heads to prepare them for it, and to aid them along the way, and that lust, those images and words are a sin, so theres a reason to stay away from it". Thats one of my reasons I stay away from it. I respect you whatever your believe is, however.

I find this amazing, because in my religion too the same controvorsy arises a lot about whether MB is allowed or considered a sinful act.
And the same answer that HP got was what I got which was "Any action is a sin if a sin is involved , even if it (the action) is good " ..
I'm not trying to force my beliefs on anyone nor did I intend to offend anyone.
