Speaking from experience being where you are now, I simply asked myself a simple question - why do you feel guilty? Is it that you were taught as a child that masturbation was bad and dirty? In truth, masturbation is not. Anyone can say that who does it. Perhaps you feel guilty because you're giving yourself pleasure and you feel ashamed because it's not "normal" to you. Understand that this is something that you do for yourself because you love yourself. Sounds cheesy, I know. But it's the truth. When two people are in love, how do they show it? They make love. There is nothing wrong with "making love" to yourself. To rid these feelings of being guilty and shame, you must examine yourself. Figure out why. Then figure out what makes you feel good about masturbation. That one should be easy - it feels good. It feels good or else we wouldn't do it. Pleasure is not to be shamed about - only if you're hurting yourself or others is it bad. Even looking at porn - believe me I just got over these five months ago - is not to be shameful of. We are mostly visual creatures and need to have another stimulant when we are alone. Personally, I like listening rather than watching, but most men are visual - why do you think they have such a huge collection of porn movies and mags around. Hahaha. Okay, I'm ranting on. Sorry. Figure out what is causing you to feel guilty. Examine it. Then when you figure it out, you will overcome it.

It's certainly very common. Depending on your upbringing, feelings afterwards can range from "I should try to masturbate less often" to "I'm going to burn in hell!" Part of the guilt comes from the mental "coming down" after an orgasm, which is largely a response to the flood of hormones that happens in your body. Just consider them a curious and normal part of the masturbation process.
Almost every male I've ever known felt guilty after masturbating as a young man... mostly because we were taught it was dirty. Eventually, you'll learn it's a natural part of being a healthy young adult, as long as you do it in private and in moderation.
The best of luck!

Since its on your religious beliefs I would probably go and talk to the priest he should be able to help although it should be a good idea you could get good advise at least. By the way at least your doing it once a week I mean most other guys out there do it like at least everyday Ha! yeah you'd sinned since that's an act of adultery but I'm Christian I have different beliefs so do whats right for you

First of all, you have to understand where your guilty feeling comes from.
Is it because of your moral or religious values or maybe your upbringing?
That's what you have to investigate and understand for yourself.
The rest is irrelevant whether you masturbate or not. But the problem usually lies in the fact that we always have the tendency to associate sexual activities with our morals!!
Then to masturbate and feel guilty is just a waste!
That's my best answer!

It all depends on where the guilt stems from. Is it something your folks said? Is it religious? Is it because of someone you like?
Without knowing what exactly is making you feel guilty, I don't see how anyone could give you general guidance.

Everybody does it so stop feeling guilty, unless you're looking at something the rest of society would find unhealthy.

Just remember. Masturbating is NORMAL and HEALTHY. Everyone does or has done it.
There are two types of people in the world: those who do/have masturbated, and those who lie and say they didn't.

dont feel guilty about masterbating or watching porn [unless is child porn!]. masterbation is COMPLELTY normal for both guys and girls. it even helps relieve stress and helps you to understand how your body works more. this may sound politically wrong but even children masterbate!! thats right children!
"It is very common for young children to masterbate, although they don't usually know what it is that they are doing, so acknowledging that you started masterbating around the age of six, seems completely normal."

I dont really know anything you can do, but dont feel guilty it's something just about everybody does. If you feel bad about it just do it more often. I sounds like you may do it once and a while and sneak it.

Everybody masturbates.
Those who say they don't are lying.
Those who admit they do, don't often admit how much, or the kinky stuff they do alone.
You can stop feeling guilty because everyone else does it too.
Nobody is different from someone else.
Good luck.
