This is not really a question of philosophy but think about this:
According to the narratives of the Christian Gospel, God forgives humanity for the torture and death of his only beloved Son, given this radical display of the limitless potential of God's will to forgive-- do you think that he would withhold his forgiveness from you for something like masturbation? I think that is might be good for you to begin to examine the principle beliefs of Christian faith, not so much as a moralizing prison from which there is no escape, but as a new possbility to live in freedom from fear and shame.

It has yet to be established as to whether hell exist or not. And if one goes there, no evidence has been retrieved to verify it's existence.
Further;
It is logically a fallacy to argue that there is "one"
"true" god. The proposition presupposes an assumption,
which has and is not substantiated by evidence.
"Faith", as we know it is also untenable. Since it
too is based on several confabulated fallacies. The
same is accurate with respect to agnosticism and
atheism. It's not the case to say, that we do not
know one way or another, but it is also not the case
that we do not know that we do not know. The
ambiguity leaves us in a state of evidence, or the
absence thereof, because we cannot explain the
implacability of the universe, which leads us to
Existentialism Kierkegaard, Freddy Nietzsche(AKA,
hermit, whore monger and syphilitic near-do well),
Sartre, Camus and other agnostics, who wanted to
rationalize their hatred for the Stoics in way form or
fashion they could. Thus, they ruminated around and
hatched one of the most dangerous philosophies on
earth: the idea that man is essentially nothing pitted
against the implacability of the universe. If this is
so, then it also nothing to kill somebody, which as we
all know is nonsense. Rather than admit, that their
philosophy breaks down, they would rather proselytize
verisimilitude's of its vagary upon the world as being
the end all and be all of belief systems. The
evidence of the reality check on it is quite another matter. Religion: if it's organized, then pick your poison.

You can only experience guilt if *you* believe that you are doing something wrong.
Sexual repression is the cause of a variety of mental health issues.
I'd rather someone masturbate than put themselves at risk with people who don't care about them or others and who will not think twice of passing along infectious and deadly diseases.

You WON'T go to hell. You have nothing to feel guilty about because MOST people do it, guys and girls.
