Personally I am unable to give you a direct answer but I can tell you that you are not the only person that falls into this situation. One of the conditions for Tawba (repentance) is sincerity, so if you are sincere in your repentance then Allah should forgive you. Also, you should ask Allah for help as well as forgiveness. Ask Allah to help you not to commit the act again.

salamualikum.
Humm, should be moved in brothers section.
Well i aint a dude but as far as i know thats haram to do, if you always do it go and get married. I feel not healthy to say anymore hence don't having anything to say :X Apart from read the Qura'an do more ibadah and focus on your deen, read stories about the prophets and get intrest in your deen more.
listen to Qura'an more often and recite often aswel. Fear your lord. read about al-akhirah and when a person dies what happens inshallah then you will gradually understand.
Re: I keep sinning even after asking for forgiveness
keep yourself occupied like studying, reading the quran, going for jog or any hobby. This will help you take your mind of it which means you wont feel the need to do so. But the best to do is ask allah (swt) forgiveness. Think about him all the time, wheneva ur mind think ov do it, think about allah and the day of judgement.
Re: I keep sinning even after asking for forgiveness
umm i think this thread should be moved but anyways.. i read an 'islamic' book and i can honestly say in it that i must have read that masturbation is not haram if it is to relieve sexual tension. i can't remeber the name of the book!!! argh i'll dig it out. obviously it's not that reliable now.
Re: I keep sinning even after asking for forgiveness
This is an issue of Ikhtilaf (difference of opinion) amongst the scholars and Madhabib (schools of thought) so it is not befitting for us to give our own opinions (not that anybody was, of course ) Rather, we should research the daleel (proof) and make our judgement based on what we think is right (and not what is in accordance with our desires).
And Allah knows best.

Inshallah hope it goes all well for the bro and inshallah just do dua'ah and ask for forgivness from Allah subhnwatallah
Re: I keep sinning even after asking for forgiveness
Continue repenting, even if you fall into the sin many many times.. since repenting is better than not repenting at all, if you stop the repentance - then that is one of shaytaan's tricks.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (Peace be upon him), from among the things he reports from his Lord (mighty and sublime be He), is that he said:
A servant [of Allah's] committed a sin and said: O Allah, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for sins. Do what you wish, for I have forgiven you.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 4:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's Apostle said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power."
