<i>MASTURBATION IN ITSELF IS NOT A SIN. You don't have to repent for it. However, if you think about a man/woman (who is not your husband/wife, even if you aren't married yet) while you wank, THAT is a sin. Lusting is a sin, and coveting another person's spouse is a sin, but the Bible says NOTHING about masturbation being a sin.

I think that this is it. Personally I believe that masturbation is a sin for these reasons and yes it would be incredibly hard..or not (pun..groan...) to masturbate without lustful thoughs of other persons/people.
