According to the prophecy it is better to leave your seed in the womb of a lady of ill repute rather than the palm of your hand...
Of course not! It's a normal activity which happens not only among humans but in the animal kingdoms as well. It is very important for making sure the semen you are going to be injecting into the women are all fresh. For women it helps remove bacteria from the vagina. Read "Sperm Wars" for more details.

The Bible never specifically mentions masturbation or states whether masturbation is a sin. There is no question, however, as to whether the actions that lead to masturbation are sinful. Masturbation is the end result of lustful thoughts, sexual stimulation, and/or pornographic images. It is these problems that need to be dealt with. If the sins of lust and pornography are forsaken and overcome - the problem of masturbation will become a non-issue.
The Bible tells us to avoid even the appearance of sexual immorality (Ephesians 5:3). I do not see how masturbating can pass that particular test. Sometimes a good test for whether something is a sin or not is whether you would be proud to tell others what you had just done. If it is something you would be embarrassed or ashamed about if others found out, it is very likely that it is a sin. Another good test is to determine whether we can honestly, in good conscience, ask God to bless and use the particular activity for His own good purposes. I do not think masturbation qualifies as something we can be "proud" of or can genuinely thank God for.
The Bible teaches us, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). If there is room for doubt as to whether it pleases God, then it is best to give it up. There is definitely room for doubt in regards to masturbation. "For whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). I do not see how, according to the Bible, masturbation could be considered glorifying to God. Further, we need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies. So, in light of these principles, I would definitely have to say that masturbation is a sin according to the Bible. I do not believe that masturbation is pleasing to God, avoids the appearance of immorality, or passes the test of God having ownership over our bodies.

according to the bible.. yes masturbation is a sin... because they thought that sex should only be used for reproduction.. I do not remember the exact verse or how it goes word for word. But if your seed hits the ground then you could had been put to death. also if you pull out it is a sin according to the bible...
here is a verse about masturbation...
"He spilled his seed on the ground... And the thing which Onan did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also" (Genesis 38:9-10).
But it was also an abomination (and one worthy of death) to masturbate or even to interrupt coitus (to halt sex with your spouse before ejaculation as an act of birth control).

Onan's sin was that he deliberately teased his wife with sex, she was trying to have a baby with him, and he pulled out against her wishes.. What does that have to do with masturbation..?

No, its pleasure and all forms of pleasure are gifts from the goddess and god.
Just like gardening to some people is a pleasure.

Depends on your Religion, ask your Clergy Person on your faith paths stance. If your religion doesnt have recognized religious authorities, then read your paths sacred texts, and seek the answer yourself.

It depends who you're talking to. Personally, I believe it's quite healthy, quite normal, and quite human.
