Default Is it wrong for christians to masturbate?

I recently asked God into my life and I used to have a porn addiction but don't have a desire for that stuff anymore. I still get aroused sometimes when I'm by myself and like everyone I know I sometimes masturbate. I love my wife with all my heart and don't want to commit a sin but I'm not sure if masturbating is a sin. I don't think about other women, only my wife. I can't find anywhere in the Bible where it talks about masturbation.

Well. Masturbation isn't in the bible so isn't a sin but lusting is a sin and you can't masturbate without lust. So if your lusting for your wife then I can't see it being a sin.
IMO

there is something in the OT about letting ones seed go to waste on the ground, that is a possible parallell to this

I think that if it is from man to God,( mans traditions)you will feel condemned,if it is from God to man,there is no more condemnation.

Romans 7
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Romans 8
1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do,< in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Actually, if you read that In Context its not geared to all men. It is a story about a specific man, and a direct command from God. It was not intended as a general rule.

To the OP, masturbation is all about fulfilling your selfish lusts. Both of these things are talked about in the bible. Also, masturbation is a sex act. Sex is designed to be only in the bounds of marriage and SHARED by a husband and wife. Sex is not just about getting off, but its supposed to be something loving you share with a person you make a lifelong commitment with. How does that work with the idea of sitting and pleasuring yourself, while you could be using that time to making love to your wife. Or finding some other positive thing to spend your time in.
So while its true, its not mentioned in the bible, when you consider the intents and motives behind it, its easy to see it is not good.

Its not going to affect salvation. The above postings are correct, it is carnal and not spiritual. Listen to the holy spirit. You will feel conviction and guilt if you pray about and holy spirit tells you not to. Sin is sin wheather minor or big it don't differ to much from cussing or getting drunk. It will not bring you closer to god but will not send you to hell.
