Neither masturbating nor watching porn is adultery (especially of you're not married, you're not even "comitting adultery in your heart"). It isn't harming anyone else. You're not even having premarital sex. If you want to avoid "having premarital sex in your heart", well, just include in your fantasies the fact that you're married to the fantasy girl.
Christianity doesn't say that all sex is always bad. It says that certain sorts of sex can be bad, they can lead to people getting hurt. So the question is, what does it say about masturbation? Some people claim that the story of Onan is about masturbation, but if you read it carefully, it's obvious that it isn't: Onan wasn't masturbating, he was pulling out at the last moment, and what God was upset about was that he wasn't fulfilling his cultural family obligations to look after his brother's widow. So the answer is, the Bible says nothing at all about masturbation. Since just about everyone does it, if it wasn't OK then it would be mentioned somewhere in the Bible, wouldn't it?
So no, it's not a sin. (And even if it was a sin, comitting it wouldn't by itself make you un-Christian, God forgives sinners their sins, remember?)

jackin off is actually good for u...relieves tension without the drawback of STDs. porn is cool to in moderation...problem....too much jackin off to porn and all of a sudden, thats all you want to do. somehow the TV screen or monitior just doesnt do it like a flesh and blood woman, but it can become an addiction. hit "sex addiction" on google and find out for yourself.

Here's the deal...If you are a Christian and have professed it...and truly believe those things that "set you apart" then your conduct does not make you an "UnChristian". It simply means you have sinned.

It makes you "sinful". If your watching porn, and doing what ever, then your cheating on who ever it is your married to, or if your single its not Christian to do such things.
Read your Bible... (Its not just for the coffee table), and see what it says in there...it will open your eyes..
I wish you well..

the bible says masturbating is a sin because you are pleasuring yourself, instead of pleasuring you spouse. If you do don't feel bad because most people do it but if you can help it then that's great
