I think it's normal, natural, and healthy.
There isn't anything in the Bible that says it's a sin, but there is one passage (look up Onan to learn more) which describes a man "spilling his seed upon the ground", i.e. masturbating. I think many people through the years have used that one passage to condemn it. It says nothing about women doing it, though.
Some church doctrines may forbid it as a means of ensuring that all sexual behavior of any time stays entirely in marriage. I think it's an enticement to marry early for the sake of having a sexual outlet.
