Lust is a sin, not masturbation. Let us not mix up the two. To masturbate does not necessarily involve lusting after another person. True lust is an obsession and dangerous. THe term lust has been overused to mean that a person looks at another and finds them willing to consider that person for copulation. Frankly, that is part of what God programed into us. If we are not interested in copulation, there would be no way to spread the word of God! Enjoy yourself, especially if it is your only means of release. You are not hurting God's feelings or hurting anyone else. People who have not practiced some sort of masturbation, also only tolerate sex. A healthy body and psyche enjoys the physical pleasures of the body God gave us.

Matthew 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who so much as looks at a woman with evil desire for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Mark 4:19 Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless.
Yeah i have to mention that wondergirl is right. The old testament laws were in the old covenant, the laws by which the jews must abide in order to seek atonement for their sins.
Agreed. The OT laws do provide us with a view as to God's standard for our lives, but it is a standard that we cannot hope to achieve on our own. The law was intended to make us aware of that and to point us to Christ. (Gal 3)
Quote:
And the seed on the ground wasnt in leviticus, waht i was thinking of was
Lev. 15:16 And if any man has a discharge of semen, he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening. 17And every garment and every skin on which the sperm comes shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.
I think that to say that the intent of this passage was masturbation is a stretch.

There are many people who believe in God and unfortunately we don't all agree on everything which constitutes sin.
Speaking as a Catholic, yes, masturbation is a mortal sin.
2396 Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography, and homosexual practices. CCC Search Result - Paragraph # 2396
So, I imagine you want to know why the Catholic Church considers masturbation a sin.
Because sex is so important that God ordained it for man and wife within the sacrament of Holy Matrimony for the procreation of children. Sex is a gift to man and wife whereby they give love to each other with the language of the body and it is open to life.
A man will cleave to his wife and they will be one flesh. This one flesh is the child that results from their union and he becomes the living icon of their love for each other and God's love for them.
So, sex practiced on oneself is neither open to life nor a gift of love between man and wife but is simply a spilling of the gift of life which God gave to man.
