The idea that masturbation is wrong is, I believe, rooted in Augustine's teachings and general disdain for the corporeal world. Sadly, despite our better judgement as a more universally aware society, Augustine's sentiments have somehow lasted for much longer than was appropriate. Personally, I am much more attracted to the sentiments of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and I believe that, over time, the general concepts he held will gain more and more acceptance at least within Catholicism.
