There is nothing wrong with it at all, it is normal and healthy.

Even though many people struggle with it and ask that question, masturbation IS wrong. You sound like a religious person speaking of sin, so I will keep my answer on those grounds.
In the Bible Jesus spoke of how he will judge the heart and not just an action. He said that lust is just the same in God's eyes as committing adultery. He said that looking at someone with anger in your heart towards them was just the same as murder in God's eyes. God judges your Heart, and since he does we have ALL broken all of the 10 commandments.
This applies to masturbation simply. I bet that while you do this you are thinking about pleasant sexual thoughts, am I right? That is lust, and it is wrong. In God's eyes all sin is equal. Masturbating and having sex before marriage is equal to God. During both examples, the person made a decision to disobey God. Would you masterbate if Jesus was next to you? Or your Mom? Or your best friend?
No obviously not. If it is something that you can't do in public, and it feels shameful, and you feel guilty then that is your conscience, the Holy Spirit, telling you that it is wrong. LISTEN to that and try not to do it. It is not easy but it is possible.
God designed our bodies to function without maturbating. You will survive, and you won't explode.
If you are guy, the "pressure" is released in many ways, through urine or nightime secretions. If you are a girl, i'm sure there are ways that it is naturally relieved too. Just get your mind off of it when you are struggling, and pray for God to help you and take away the desire.
Read "Every Man's Battle" or "Every Woman's Battle" if you want a good book about it and sexual temptation. These are both really good books to read if you are a guy or girl struggling with sexual purity.
Well hope this helps, Stay strong in Christ!

I find that the only problem with masturbation is the fact that in it's essence it is VERY SAD. We are all made right for one soul mate. The fact that most of us never connect with this OTHER HALF, is the saddness that is life. The fact that we can masturbate is a BLESSING and not a sin. But still sad that we should have to resort to this for our loving sensations in our perfect beingness.
Enjoy and know that you are not defiling anything, but helping the situation by not allowing the sex drive and frustration drive you to anger and violence in the world, which has been the case throughout the centuries since man and woman first got it all wrong.

I think there is nothing wrong with masturbation, that it is not sinful, and that it is a natural part of sexual life...when it becomes obsessive and used as a sole or permanent outlet in place of sexual activity with another person, I think it might pose a problem, but otherwise don't condemn it.

Not at all bad - and you are correct in saying it keeps you away from sins. In Fact it has been found that it is a healthy thing to do.
So keep (Guys - shaking it) (gals - Fingering it)

There isn't a big list of sins that you stay away by masturbating.
By Islamic law (teachings) you should get married if you are really in the urge of having sex?

I don't condemn it. in fact I do it often.Don't listen to all those hypocrites who tells you otherwise! And I don't consider it a sin either.Its a natural biological urge. Suppresing it will do you more harrm than good.

Also, if you pray immediately afterwards, your hands are likely to get stuck together and you will therefore spend even longer chatting with God. He really does work in mysterious, if not always hygienic ways, doesn't He?

I agree with you, it helps one release the sexual urge instead of committing fornication or adultery.
