You cannot become "addicted" to a bodily function, be it masturbation or eye blinking or urinating.

It's OK to not masturbate, but the drive, the urge that causes the 'horniness' you're describing is biological, it's caused by forces beyond you. If you choose to not masturbate, try to adjust to the 'ok-ness' and normalcy of the urge behind it. At some point, you might want to be able to use and enjoy it!

As you develop, semen (the stuff you ejaculate) changes in color and texture, it goes from thin and liquidy and clear, to thicker and whiter or yellower, it's a part of that puberty process I was discussing earlier. This is all normal. The pain? There are really only two things that typically cause discomfort: One is a tight foreskin, if you cannot retract it fully, and the other is if you were rubbing a bit aggressively. Ease up a bit, and you'll be OK. If it's tightness, that's another convo.
