Even then, I'd wonder if the real problem was that the person had chosen masturbation over some other release (alcohol, drugs, SI, and ED come to mind) -- or that they were feeling cut off from relationships, partnered sex, and anything else that might engage their interest, so that they found themselves needing some such release in the first place.
It seems to me that if someone already felt driven to seek release constantly but chose partnered sex over masturbation, that would look a lot like sex addiction.
