As per my perception, the Quran only emphasizes at the covering or hiding of genital areas (except with wife or slave girl). It just specifies the allowed physical relationships. I doesn't state any further details. The things that Islam forbids are very clearly mentioned in Quran without ambiguities or second thoughts. Although the masturbation is an act, after that one must get purified to offer prayers or recite Quran, but if one can get himself / herself purified sooner, than it can't become obstacle in performing religious duties. The other noteworthy point is that the semen can't be contained in the body. Those who don't masturbate, if not having any physical problems, get their semen discharge through wet dreams etc. I think the Quran is saying transgressors to those people who uncover their genitals for people other than wife, or slave girl. Further, masturbation helps one in controling his / her passions and helps to stop one from violating the law.
