Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years that it is God's will that:
+ Single people should be celibate.
+ Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
+ Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God.
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.
The purpose of sex is to bring a husband and wife closer and to create human life.
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.
Fornication, sex between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, is contrary to their human dignity and the dignity of human sexuality.
Adultery is even worse. Anyone who commits adultery
+ Does injury to the sign of the covenant which the marriage bond is
+ Transgresses the rights of the other spouse
+ Undermines the institution of marriage by breaking the contract on which it is based
+ Compromises the welfare of children who need their parents' stable union.
With love in Christ.

Sin is the disobedience to the Lord God's Laws and is unrighteous, unjust, immoral and wrong. Masturbation is immoral practice and foolish thinking constitute a sin.
Sex is God's gift to married people and it will be fornication if sex outside of marriage.
Adultery means sex with someone outside of marriage.
Adultery means sex with a neighbor's wife.
Adultery means violation of the marriage bed.
12.6 million wives have given birth to children who are not the biological offspring of the husbands of those families. Who said that we had a right to commit adultery?

Adultery is easy. If you are married or your partner is married then it's bad to have a sexual relationship. Masturbation, on the other hand (so to speak), is normal. Unfortunately christians generally consider it a sin. Somehow the sin of Onan has been transformed by people who don't want to admit his real sin. Onan sinned by not impregnating his dead brother's wife as the bible required him to do. So Onanism is not spilling your seed, it's not having sex with your brother's widow.
