Masturbation usually involves lust. It says in many verses in the bible to flee lusts. and talks about sexual immorality. so yes accordsing to the bible masturbation is a sin.
you dont want to let it control you and sexual sins are hard to escape from. 1 Corinthians 6:12
"Everything is permissible for me", but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me," but I will not be mastered by anything....Matthew 5:28
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

I personally believe that the Bible is no more factual than Greek Mythology. I am baffled all too often as to how a perfectly intelligent individual can twist his/ her reasoning to such a degree that they can verbally state they buy into the story written years sometimes centuries after the so called fact. Furthermore, why is it that Christians , if they wish to live a life of fantasy must also be certain that their neighbor believes the same theory? I mean what difference does my belief or disbelief in conduct and the afterlife have any affect on my neighbor. The human brain is certainly not very evolved when emotionalism can overpower clear reason. I do recall however when I was 10 and I pretty much knew there was no Santa Clause through deductive reasoning. I was however immature enough to stir myself into a emotional fantasy that I felt it more fun and comforting to just pretend that I believed. It seems e will always be master of I (emotion/ intellect) because the former takes less effort and honesty. kurt Niziak

Many christian churches preach that masturbation is a sin. However, masturbation is not mentioned in either old or new testament. All other types of sexual behavior are mentioned but never masturbation. So it must not be a sin. Is a normal healthy activity that enables you to have control over your sexuality until you are married or have selected a life partner. In the early years of puberty teen boys are easily aroused and need to have some type of relief. Masturbation is solo sex that is meant to be private and personal. Do not feel guilty about this it is okay.

Scientifically speaking (religiously speaking God created people and all their body parts) the male organ has other uses like urination and having kids. The woman's clitoris has no other purpose than to feel pleasure. IT HAS NO OTHER FUNCTION. So in some societies, they cut off the girl's clitoris.
See site below on a differrent way of looking at religion and how things represented by people may not be correct. It also tells why Bill Gates is getting out of the computer business.

Yes, but I'd say it's better than extramarital sex. We are all only human.
