There may or may not be words in the Bible condemning masturbation as a sin. I really don't know.
I can tell you that the general philosophy of the New Testament is to deny the self and follow Jesus. His example of self denial was allowing Himself to be executed by crucifixion. Masturbation would be a hinderance to a metaphorical crucifixion of self because it has only one goal-- self pleasure.
