Why is masturbation a sin?

Submitted by laichi03 on 2002-10-30 02:29:57, Wednesday

Now, I know I should just be reading the bibleon my own to find the answer to this questionb ut I was wondering why is it a sin to masturbate? Is it just because you are lusting after something that it is a sin or what? Are there any verses in the bible on this subject and if so which ones? Thank you
