Yes, as well as these things to name a few: casual drinking, smoking, pre-marital sex, thoughts of bitchslapping people that piss you off, fat jokes, 10% of your gross income, and more at the collection table each sunday.
Plenty more, but I'm playing nice today.

Some people try to use Onan's sin as an example of why "wanking" is a sin. Problem is it wasn't the spilling of his seed that was the sin. It was the disobediance to the law of giving his sister-in-law a child to inherit her dead husbands land and money. He used his sister-in-law for his own pleasure rather then fulfilling the law.
As far as "wanking" goes, the act itself is never discussed in the bible. If any part of the act is a sin it is the thought pattern while "wanking". Christ tells us that we first sin in our mind by lusting for someone or something in the mind before we physically commit that sin.
Also I feel that if something becomes an addiction and it controls you more then you control it then it becomes a sin. As well as if you are sitting home on Friday night and meeting your own needs rather then going out and socializing and eventually finding a good Godly woman/man to spend the rest of your life with who will after marriage help you meet your natural physical/sexual needs then that is a sin because God didn't make you to just please yourself that way. He made sex for you to one day use as a way to create a bond between you and your spouse that is not experienced with anyone else and therefore blesses your marriage more then any other earthly relationship.
If you are emotionally beating yourself up over this, then this is not of God either. Pray about this and seek God's guidance on what you need to do for your own life.

I think a certain Onan spills his seed in one of the bible's passages (!) hence the term 'onanism' which you could use as an alternative to the one starting with w. Maybe you already knew that and are just having a laugh?

Thinking. Rationality.
"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God." ~ Martin Luther
"Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but -- more frequently than not -- struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God." ~ Martin Luther
"There is on earth among all dangers no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroit reason... Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed." ~ Martin Luther
"Reason should be destroyed in all Christians." ~ Martin Luther

You would have to give up only what God told YOU to give up. But there are many more things you could do that are much better than worrying about the things you can not do.

The frontal lobe of your brain. The lobotomy is required unless you are converting from Islam. In that case, you are already stupid enough.

yes, wanking, as well as pre-marital sex, your sense of humor and any belief in science and evolution.

You'd have to give up thinking. God said that if any sperm is wasted that he gets very irritated. Millions of half-babies.....dont kill them...it is not yet a zygote. Sister Rossetta
