More liberal views in Christianity do not have a negative view of the act of masturbation in and of itself, as far as I know, only orthodox Judaism is against masturbation, and Buddhism is against masturbation for monks and nuns. As far as ordinary people, Buddhism is not against masturbation for them, but one can see how a Buddhist might argue that masturbation can lead to an unhealthy attachment to the corporeal world when done in excess. This, I believe, is the true argument against masturbation if there is one.
