Only if you don't videotape yourself while you are doing it.

The Bible doesn't explicitly list masturbation when talking about sex. Here's a site that addresses it. It talks about the arguement of "lesser than two evils, and Does God care about what we do in our private bedrooms, and how to deal with sexual urges too:
First of all, masturbation will not truly relieve the sexual pressure that one may feel. It may for a short moment, but in the long run it only creates a deeper desire and capacity for sex, which will lead to more masturbation. If you let yourself become enslaved to a sexual high, you will find that you need to go to increasingly extreme acts to maintain the same degree of excitement. There are even ungodly sex therapists who recommend masturbation as a way of increasing sexual desire, not lessening it. This creates a vicious circle, like the junkie who craves a "fix," but is only temporarily satisfied. The more he indulges in his dependency, the more ensnared by addiction he becomes. This is the nature of all sin. That is why Jesus declared that all who sin become a slave to sin (John 8:34).

The sin is a religion`s invention.
A god saing rules to Moisses?
It`s, a madness.
In Magdalena´s evangelius Jesus said: there is not sin, never have been it. It´s clear¡

I think it's a sin not to. Could you imagine how society would be if nobody masturbated? Yikes.

Anything that seperated you from the will of God is a sin.
If you think that masterbations is Gods plan for your life, then go for it.
The word sin means "Missing the mark"

yes. heres why.
the bible talks about sex. and almost every time the bible speaks good of it, its between one man and one women.
sex is there not only to create life but to be a pleasurable thing.
When it comes to men the bible actually points out.... "DONT SPILL YOUR SEED"
why waist it on yourself? when you can hold off till marriage and have a love life that most couples would be envyous of?

No biblical basis for saying it is a sin. However, lust is a sin.

I think the better question is what kind of God would be concerned with such trivial things as what humans do to pleasure themselves?

no, of course not, why would it be? that's like saying you can't feed yourself, its a sin, but if someone else feeds you than its okay.
