Yes, It's considered fornication.
1Cr 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Sexual expression is a part of life. The Bible suggests an unnatural flow / emission is unclean. We have essentially abandoned those Levitical laws.
The major danger in masturbation is that sex becomes self=pleasing rather than a mutuality. One has to guard against that becoming a habiit.
Another danger is masturbation done with pornography which degrades the other person into an object for self pleasure.
Finally, masturbation when married can lead to a lack of self worth on the other's party's part - denying them a sense of being loved.

Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
The Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."
Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.
Masturbation is contrary to the human dignity of the person and anyone about whom the person has lustful thoughts, and the dignity of human sexuality.
With love in Christ.

Yes because it keeps one on the bodily platform. We are not these bodies we are eternal spirt souls. It also is not good for ones intelligence because it takes blood away from the brain. We have to become detached from mundane sex to understand ourself and God. Also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, etc. go to gospelofthenazirenes. the original New testament before King Constantine misconstrued so many things.

it is not a sin. whoever is telling you that is wrong.
some chrisitans say fornication is.. let us look at the definition of that.. voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other
i don't see it say masturbation at all.
it's not a sin at all. and unless someone can show me a verse that says "masturbation is a sin" they shouldn't talk!
98% of guys have masturbated. and most teens and young adults do it daily. it's totally normal. science proves it. and god doesn't go against science.

Technically YES, there is a verse, i can't think of right now i think in 1 Corinthians about lusting or masturbation and if you please your self you are cheating on your spouse. I think. it has been a while since I read it.
