In Islam you have two types of responsibilities:
Responsibility with regard to Allah (God)
Responsibility with regard to Humans
Masterbation comes under the second. You loose genetic material. Living matter that can become a human (or play part in creating a human). The, to be child, has rights and you as the father or producer of the matter that brings them to life have a responsibility to that child. In short it is missuse of power and usefull resouces thats why its a sin. And Islam forbids it.
There is only one situation in which it is allowed and that is when you are to do some sin farmore worse than it, when compared. like illegal, extramarital sex. During such a situation doing it with the willingness to avoid the sex thing is ok. Logically said and as a rule in Islam " when stuck with two options choose the one that is the least bad" and in such a situation Msterbation is the least bad.
The second comes under direct opposition of Allah's Command in the Holy Quran. it has been ordered again and again to avoid "Fawahish". (I am not sure of the proper word in english for it). It covers all such things as extra Maritial sex, porn, nudetity etc.
so yes they are both sins.
