The prohibitions for masturbation were based on sexual ignorance. don;t worry about it

No. If your talking about Christianity, do some research. In the middle ages, they did a lot of crazy stuff to discourage self-pleasuring. For men, spiked boxes (to discourage erections), for women, they "removed" the clitoris. The bible never states that masturbation is a sin. Even though most of the bible has been changed a thousand times. But, none the less, no. Many believe hell was made up by the Catholic church as well. Like a scare tactic to make people into so-called "good" Christians. Don't worry.

If you are unmarried and you would do worse if you do not masturbate, it is better to choose the lesser. Masturbation is not forbidden in clear terms in the Bible, except about the Onanists who used to spill their semen on the floor while having sex with their wives to avoid having children. Please know that if everyone who stop having sex with the opposite sex, our whole human race will vanish in one generation.
THAT is why Islam says marry the young guy and the young girl early, when their sense of sex is developing and they feel the deep needs to get a release. Unfortunately in todays World it is not acceptable for young people to get married. THAT is the prime reason why these issues are raised.
I hope this partially answers your question.

First of all, hell comes to you if you don't have a good attitude towards life (even though life can seem like hell). Hell is the ending of existence (annihilation) in my belief. Second, masturbation is bad if you're thinking of idolatry, fornication or adultery. Other than that, you're fine.

People go to hell because they reject God & His truth. God doesn't tell us anything about masturbation. It is written that we don't commit adultary or adolatry.
Imagining Idols or porno is sin. Masturbation is not.
So...?
If Jesus thought it was an issue, He would have recorded something about it in the bible.

It is said GOD forgives small faults. Don't worry too much about it. People commit fornication everyday and see no problem with that. I very highly doubt you will get punished for masturbation. Maybe if it is habitual. Plus regular ejaculation prevents prostate cancer.

I searched the bible when I was a kid about this. IT IS NOT A SIN. Dr. Dobbson said that God would not give a child that urge and then condem him for giving in to it.

If you don't masturbate you will have wet dreams which are normally very erotic. Which is worse, being awake and doing it or being asleep and doing it. For what it is worth I think masturbating is great for stress. I bet even Jesus did it.

You just answered your own question - repent. Then ask God to give you a wife so you don't have to fantasize anymore.

Wack away....even if you do go to hell you'll be surrounded by so many friends that you'll hardly notice you're in hell.
