My issue with my son having sex as a child is based on his ability to comprehend the the risks. When he is maturely able to comprehend the risks I will have absolutely no problem with when and how he chooses to engage in consensual sex.
Masturbation does not turn normal health individuals into something they are not.
I don't understand why people are confused by my position (pardon the pun) on this issue. The issue isn't the sex, the issue is children being able to make informed decisions regarding sex. I simply think there are legitimate reasons children, for example, can not enter into legally binding contracts - the law recognizes that generally, children lack the maturity to enter into contract.
