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.

Masturbation is not a sin. It is not bad. I do it, and so does every other adult I know. When I was younger, I masturbated at least once a day. Now, it's more like one or two times a week. Sometimes I do it for fun, sometimes just because the pressure of not having done it for a while demands release.

It's only a sin if you get interrupted by your Mom...and it's only bad if you are doing it wrong.

I'm not Christian, so "sin" isn't really a part of my vocabulary. I don't think it's bad at all and do it myself occasionally.
