Sexuality is a gift from God, as we read in the book of Genesis.
It is meant to be shared, a physical expression of our love and concern for a member of the opposite sex with whom we have made a life-long commitment through marriage and is open to the possibility of procreation.
There is a sharp distinction between "making love" and "having sex." The former constitutes the wise use of the gift of sexuality, whereas the latter falls short of this ideal.
Masturbation is self-directed. As such, is a distortion of human sexuality.
By nature, it is incapable of expressing love and concern for an other person. It is also incapable of the possibility of procreation, in fulfillment of our Creator's injunction to "be fruitful and multiply."
Since it "misses the mark" of the wise use of the gift of sexuality, it is considered sinful. This is especially so in cases in which masturbation becomes an addiction.

If you are religious, there is probably some sort of rule proclaiming the immorality of masturbation.
I think it is all hypocrisy. Some of the best sex I've ever had was by myself. How can it be a sin if nobody was hurt and the temple got a good workout in the process? :D

It was the only thing that helped keep me from sleeping around as a teenager, and I didn't get pregnant or diseased (or get my itty-bitty heart broken). I'm trying to think of a tactful way to recommend it to my 12 year old. ; )

If it is, then it one that ALL people indulge in.
After all there are only two kinds of human beings; those that masturbate, and those that lie about not masturbating.

I'm cosigning to what bibliophile (ha, he's a bible-lover) just said... it's a perversion of what God intended sex to be.
