Absolutely NOT!
We've been happily married for over 36 years, and we enjoy both intercourse and masturbation on a regular basis, and we have done so since the first year we were together.
Don't give it a second thought.

NO. If you look up adultery and fornication, in the on line Websters Dictionary, there has to be 2 people for this to be valid.
Self abuse is in the lines of uncleanness and greediness.

If you masterbate while lusting over someone who isn't your partner than you are committing lust with them in your heart (read Matthew, specifically the Sermon on the Mount).
I believe that when people are married, their first choice when it comes to sexual activity should be the spouse - not masterbation. When a person chooses to lust after others and masterbate over thoughts of them (especially if they refuse intimacy and intercourse with their spouse), then what does that say of the marriage? Should the partner being cheated on (as that is what adultery is) stay in the marriage?
If you don't want to be intimate with your spouse, but would rather lust after and masterbate to other people, then you don't deserve to be married. It's cheating, and it's hurtful, and it's wrong. It shows that you scorn the vows that you made before God on your wedding day.

technically yes. I don't agree with it personally but if you wanna go with what the bible says, then yup.
edit-
Actually, I am not sure, I do know that masturbation is prohibited in general but I don't know if its considered the same as adultery.

IF the masturbation is the ONLY kind of sex the masturbating partner wants to have, and IF he/she has a fetish about a special person ,not being the partner, that has to be watched to get horny, then
YES
otherwise it's just some kind substitute when it comes to heavy headache for the other one..

Nope, so go on and beat it like it owes you money. I don't really know if according to dogma it is a sin in any religion, but that might explain blowing yourself up.

No. As a matter of fact, I think masterbation is healthy and normal. So long as it's not affecting the sexual relationship you have with your spouse.

No, but it would be just as wrong if not more than when you are single. It abbuses the purpose of our sexuality and especially undermines this when you seek to satisfy your lust and create a gap between you and your wife.

And just where do you get the idea that it might be? I would love to know.
Sometimes my wife and I simultaneously masturbate each other - does that mean we are having an orgy ?
