Answers:
yes, never do it or you will go blind and you're dinkle will fall off and a big wart that spells "WINKER" will appear on yoir forehead! and then the lord will bum you!

OF COURSE IT'S NOT!!

there are no sins, just things that you shouldn't do

no. as long as it isnt thinking about homosexuality or something like that. the bible doesnt say a thing about it.
No way, and so what if it was, Jesus already died for our sins, sin away my friend
as almost all other things that give u pleasure. anyway, who cares?!
No, it is harmless and natural. Men do it alot more than women, due to their increased sexual drive, especially in the teenage years.
Of course not. Any religion that tells you that it is is silly. Why would it be a sin, because it causes pleasure? Is scratching an itch a sin?
no.

even thinking about homosexuality isnt a sin. to the person who said this maybe if your gonna try and be all religious learn about it first
I think the main sin is the thoughts that usually go along with it not the act it self.
Yeah if you do it a lot, I know it's a part of life but at the same time don't do it a lot.
If it's done for no reason then i guess it is
i'm going to hell then, oh well too late too stop now
wait a minute, it can't be, if it was god wouldnt have made it so our hands can reach..lol

If you are referring to the sin of onan, well it had nothing to do with masturbation at all. It referred the the contraceptive practice of withdrawal and spilling your seed instead of letting it impregnate somebody.
According to the Bible, yes it is. If you refer to Mathew chapter 5 verse 30, it talks about self-pleasure and if you read all of chapter 5 you will see just about everything is a sin.
Catholicism teaches that masturbation is a sin. Any sexual action that does not lead to an opportunity of creation of a human life and is outside the union of marriage is considered a sin.
Catholicism teaches that sex is viewed as a sacred act between husband and a wife. Anything that belittles this act to merely personal pleasure is abusing the very purpose of sex. When we sin, we pull away from God's plan for us.

The Catholic catechism states, "The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose." For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved."139"

If someone masturbates, they should confess this before taking Holy Communion

You can confess it by saying, ""I have committed sins of impurity with myself (mention a specific number)."
Some Catholics do not agree with the Church's teachings on masturbation. If you doubt the teachings of the Church, maybe it would be a good idea to talk it over with a priest or a trusted Catholic.
If you are christian you will be interested in knowing that masturbation is not mentioned in anyway in the old or new testament. So it is not a sin. It is a gift from god to help us control our raging passions as young men. So enjoy and quite feeling guilty.
the act of masturbation isnt but lustful thoughts associated with it are
